Forgive who? We need to ask forgiveness of ourselves for believing the lie that we have

Forgive period. It's must be reflexive, no matter what happens to us. And, while it is not as prevalent as the culture wants us to believe, racism still exists. I've experienced and so have others. But, we forgive them and refuse to let it control or overpower us. Generational curses are passed down because we choose to accept behavior instead of correct it.

We’ll said Shawn! Holding on to unforgiveness keeps one in bondage, which is exactly what these people want. What would happen if the pastors began to preach to their congregants the message of forgiveness and walking in love when it comes to the black experience in this nation and all other issues we’re currently facing and people actually embraced the message to the point that it governed their life? I believe it would decimate the agenda of the white liberals and the black elites.

Amen Pam! It would decimate the agenda, that's why they don't. It keeps them in power to keep their congregants in bondage.
