If you go in search of racism you can see it every where, even where it doesn't exist. While someone should have stood up and stopped that man from yelling vulgarities at the black woman to see and to talk about racism every where only encourage people to see differences.

Self cleansing of harmful ideas can be beneficial. However, people can use racism as an excuse to fail and to not even try. God told us to love our neighbor, regardless of skin color, and to be generous with our time and our possessions. God also instructed us to be self reliant and to not bury our talents. No matter how bad the environment we live in it is our responsibility to make the most of our talents. It is harmful to provide people with additional excuses as to why they can not succeed.

Fight real racism when it is in front of you. Do not look under rocks to find it, do not proclaim it from the mountain tops. It will only prolong the underlying issues and provide a reason to not succeed.
