To continue your research on this subject begin by looking at the voices that influence your life. Are they predominantly white? To truly understand these issues we must learn about them from the people who live and have lived under this oppressive rule. Do the research before beginning conversations. Make sure you have learned all that you can before forcing a person of color to explain something to you. It is your job to educate yourself and your fellow White Christians and to begin to support African-Americans before you begin to demand things from them. Create real friendships with people who do not look like you and are not from the same culture. Be there for them when they need you and be an active friend in your relationship. Listen to them, hear them, understand them before bringing up your own opinion.
