Color the sky, not Black or White but with Gods good love

2 Nephi 26:33

He inviteth them all to come unto Him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto Him, Black, and White, bond and free, male and female

     As a Hispanic girl growing up, I have experience racism in my little town.  I have seen my Father being mistreated because of the color of his skin.  I have seen the eyes of white people look at my father, as if he deserved less.   

     And decades later after Marin Luther King we still see forms of racism creep into the lens of good parents and grandparents.  For example, when a child comes out light skinned, it’s seen as a celebration, a relief.  But when a child comes out dark skinned it becomes an insensitive joke about pigmentation.  Do light skinned children get treated differently than dark skinned children? Yes, yes, they do.  We are too subconscious too notice.  

     In my religion, there are attacks on our theology, including being racist.  Where many people assume that the church is “white-only” When they don’t know that most members of Latter-Day Saints are non-white in a global perspective.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a GLOBAL IDENTITY.  It is NOT a race/color identity.  All hearts are in this church.  Including my heart, where I am dark skinned among many white friends who don’t see my color at all.  So, the questions lies: “How can society help with racial inequality to bring upon racial peace?”  Maybe you’ll find it in John 15:12.

I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
