The Seed Blog: Racism, Slavery & Scripture, Part 2

There is only the human race, created in His Image—no other: Acts 17:26.

There is not another factor that can contribute to allowing racism to be a reality. There are a number of reasons psychologically, that people become biased or prejudice, and there are very real, and serious issues within our culture that are fueling, and snowballing racism from all sides.
