Race relations in America are in crisis and the Charleston church shooting didn’t help. It is quite a dangerous, destructive problem.
What is the solution? How do we solve race relations in the United States?
We were shown how in Charleston, South Carolina. There a white racist psychopath, Dylann Roof, killed nine black people–and in terms of race relations, the response of the victims to the church shooting is one of the most amazing stories in American history.
The members of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and the relatives of the victims of that church shooting showed the whole world the solution to our race-relations crisis–if only people would pay attention.
Mark Berman wrote this in his June 19 Washington Post article “‘I Forgive You.’ Relatives of Charleston church shooting victims address Dylann Roof”:
“The relatives of people slain inside the historic African American church in Charleston, S.C., earlier this week were able to speak directly to the accused gunman Friday at his first court appearance.
One by one, those who chose to speak at a bond hearing did not turn to anger. Instead, while he remained impassive, they offered him forgiveness and said they were praying for his soul, even as they described the pain of their losses.”
These people offered this murderer forgiveness. That is amazing. Why don’t more people do that? We should, if we are Christians, because that is what Christ did.
Ask this question to yourself, why did Charleston, South Carolina not become a Ferguson or a Baltimore? Now, that’s a critical question for us to deal with. Why didn’t the same thing happen there that happened in those other cities?
People expected to see what they saw in Ferguson and Baltimore—but these people responded in spirit the way Christ did! They followed His example, and they brought peace to Charleston!
