When asked what you see, if your answer is a black man shaking a white man's hand or a white man shaking a black man's hand then you need to join me in eliminating racism. Not until we can all say, I see two men shaking hands, can we live in a more peaceful world.

This is a problem in America and many could not do this and feel comfortable while shaking hands

@tntrecycling I don't know why someone would have a problem with it. Especially if they profess to be a christian. After all, look where Jesus was born and lived. I really don't think He was caucasian.

@Illinoisjarhead
Is it wrong to see human hands with varying amounts of skin pigment? Skin pigment is a result of natural selection resulting from exposure to high UVR near the equator over time.
 
Why is it wrong to understand and notice this difference? It doesn't mean anything other than UV radiation exposure.
 
There is only one race. Homo sapiens and in that context, racism doesn't exist. You can't possibly detest your own existence.
 
I think people will justify hate regardless of the constitutive pigmentation of your skin. I don't see the logic in continuing to waste energy on these people or using memes like this to guilt people into the belief that noticing the difference is wrong.
 
One hand is black, one is white. This isn't wrong. Embrace your difference. A race that doesn't have genetic diversity dies out.

i too would like to live in a more peaceful world. unfortunately, i think racism is a problem. the funny thing is that it seems like some of the worst hate historically was not based on differences in the color of people's skin.
 
england has historically been at war with france for a pretty long time.
north korea and south korea had and continue to have quite a fight.
japanese and koreans have a bad history
america's bloodiest war was mostly white northern people fighting white southern people.
iraq and iran hate each other with many wars.
iraq invaded kuwait to start the gulf war.
germany and russia had historic losses of life against each other in ww2
germany and england were both devastated by ww1
blacks usually commit crimes against blacks in the usa and whites v. whites.
india and pakistan hate each other.
 
race is a huge problem. i look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. however, i think it is more complicated than just race.

@Illinoisjarhead Amen, I would like to think that Jesus came in the Image of man. could he have appeared of one to me, and another to you. Much like he sent the disciples all nations, and each heard them in their own language.
could he have come as a woman?
