…Second, this topic of ethnically based prejudice and abuse is important to me because I consider it the second great injustice of our age. This is one of the two reasons that future generations will think of us as backwards and barbaric.
The degree of racism of today will be considered stone-age thinking in the future. It is unthinkable to me that in the past expression of Jim Crow, KKK actions, much less the blight of slavery, were ever accepted by any population. The biblical right of personal property, especially of ones’ own person, is so clear at every level – and the demands for us to respect each other’s rights is so common… well, it is strange to me from this angle.
I don’t expect us to be much better at loving each other in the future, and there may be crimes against humanity in the future every bit as dark and evil as those of the past, but I think they will think the aspects of our systemic that work better for one 
“race” than another, and acute racism to be unimaginable to them in the same way that overt and legal racism is unimaginable to me, or anti-Irish, Polish, etc. “racism” from the past is just not part of anyone’s thinking anymore…
I am learning to see your color.
I have gotten a tiny taste of what it meant to be the minority – the uncertainty, even a sense of suspicion, the wondering of what all these other people thought about my color in their midst – and knowing that their culture was suspicious of my race, too. This is not an “I understand what you feel” comment, since I clearly do not… but I can kind of imagine from a molehill, the mountain that exists. I am not always the brightest bulb in the pack, so excuse me gaining insight from something so obvious to everyone else.
In this, I want to comment on this, as I have numerous times before – I do think the term “race” is a misnomer. I think this is an outdated term that exemplified part of the systemic problem. I believe clearly that “humanity” is a “race”.
In other words, while I see your color, I share your race, if you are human. That is what I believe.
Honestly, I do not see my own “color.”
But I am pretty oblivious to my age and status, too.
Again, I assume some of this is the privilege of being middle aged, male and white. If that is accurate, then not thinking about these things and interpreting them all of the time may be the ultimate privilege!
I have written about my own, in-depth theology of “race”, which expresses and defends this idea. There is also no prioritization of one ethnicity over another.
In speaking to the idea that there are no “races” of humans, I also recognize the advantages – privilege, if you will – of being a product, of multiple generations, 3 in my case, of higher education, financial opportunity, and intact nuclear families. These kinds of advantages come much more often for the white population in America and are more often denied to minorities…
However, as a Christian, I don’t think that I should feel shame about my family’s 
decisions, including rising from poverty and staying together through hard times – but as a Christian, I do think that I should feel something – responsibility to serve with those advantages.
See, I understand any advantage that any believer has, we interpret as a responsibility to love and serve. “But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?” (I John 3:17)
For the Christian, I think any gift, talent, ability, skill, privilege, advantage, status, or standing is to be interpreted as a responsibility to invest in others with that thing… provide for others, bless others, create justice for others, protect others, etc.
It is not immoral to be advantaged by life or nature or God. It is immoral to be selfish, unjust or unkind with or because of them.
I think one of the many general principles of justice that Christ mentioned while on Earth was, “…Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.”
