Here is the honest truth, I see and celebrate your color.
I believe in justice. I want protests to be successful. I want them to be clear and lead to positive results.
I think a black man should be able to jog safely; I think a black person should be treated identically to a white one – with the same freedoms, etc. No unarmed person should be killed in a situation with a no-knock warrant. These represent abuse of authority – and when motivated by “racism” – the represent a special version of injustice.
A black man should be treated the same as any other ethnic group, (and that means “justly”) by those in authority.
No legalized social system should work better for me than it does for a different version of me who happens to have more melanin.
I want us to find ways to create as much win-win for faithful people in authority and minorities as is possible. That will likely mean more accountability, and maybe even more risk for those who protect us. It will become even more incumbent upon mature citizens to be safe people for our police enforce laws with.
I teach all of my children, black or white, the “skill” of being pulled over in a way that is loving to the police pulling them over someday. I do this for two reasons. First, because the job of a police officer is incredibly difficult and scary and dangerous. Anything we can do to make their job easier, we ought to do. Also, I know that in any population with power or authority (including or maybe especially pastors) there are wicked, abusive, narcissistic, and even just morally evil people. I see no reason to give them an excuse to act out with my children.
However, if they are abused in some way, I would still demand that the system of reporting and accountability work. My friend from a couple of articles ago
I understand that protests have to be uncomfortable. (This is my article about the kneeling protest from when it was created) I may not like the form that protests sometimes take, but that may just be because my mindset is the one being protested! Let’s have some humility, people.
I want store owners to be protected by the law and to receive justice. I want those in authority – even when I can empathize with how hard their job is – who murder or abuse to be arrested, properly prosecuted, and punished. I want those who loot, burn, assault and kill in the name of anger – even anger I can empathize with – to be arrested, properly prosecuted and punished.
I want moral leaders everywhere to damn both of these abuses of our systems of freedoms.
I believe that most police are fair-minded, and their job is way too hard.
I hate the way protests create the automatic opposition between police and protesters.
I believe in fundamental value of all humans and believe that true peace for all people will only actually come through Jesus Christ but can be experienced in great degree by following the ways and means of His Kingdom!
Invite people into your lives.
Be a good neighbor
Love Justice
Choose Mercy
Walk Humbly
As a white person, who for some reason unknown to me, is a member of the majority ethnicity of my country, I want you to know that I see your color – or at least I am on the lifelong path to doing so.
Keep in mind, that though I reject many of basic tenets of Critical Theory, identity politics, and some aspects of these movements – because I believe in the authority of scripture and the power of people to teach scripture as authoritative.
And I think scripture teaches that Christians are encouraged to know the truth, teach the truth and practice the truth in love. We have an opportunity in times of crisis to hold onto the truth – we must never fully swallow any worldly philosophy without washing and filtering it through scripture first.
But I think the calling to love and value each other allow us to face the injustices and prejudiced thinking – with strength and grace and His power to change us and to make things new!
In conclusion, I honor and respect your color; I diligently want to understand what your color means to you.
I want to understand what our nation’s wrong theology, wrong morality, wrong philosophy and treatment of your color means to you – historically and currently.
Ok, a small confession as to my actual intuition about all of this… As a child, your color just meant to me that you didn’t burn as badly in the sun as I did and I honestly (sometimes desperately) coveted your color. (This applied to most white 
people too, since almost no one is as white as me, but especially to our childhood friend Mryon, who had dark black skin. He also didn’t have to wear dark camo paint when we played soldier at night).
As Christians, we must walk away from pride about any aspect of our identity that would glorify us. There is a pride in being the majority or the minority. There is a pride in riches and in poverty.
Our response should be unique – not merely worldly, at least partially because it is founded in a desire to walk humbly.
