    Re: What is Systemic Racism?

    Re: What is Systemic Racism?

    Re: What is Systemic Racism?

    Sounds like a good book from the descriptions. I agree that Christians are called to help the poor and the oppressed. That was pretty clear in the Beatitudes. I also think we should all stand up...
