Race and Reconciliation

"On an altar of prejudice we crucify our own, yet the blood of all children is the color of God." 
-Don Williams, Jr. 

How true is that. Don Williams, Jr. is an american novelist and poet. Other than that, I don't know much about him except that he was wise when he stated this quote. We are so quick to flock to those who look like us and who we are familiar and comfortable with. Why? Why is this our natural reaction to flock to people who look like us? We are ONE race, of ONE people, called humans. There is no race aside from the human. (others may disagree) We are God's people, one people. He made men and women equally.
