Sometimes it's not that easy...

The politics of my skin....

Sometimes you don't need to say or do anything to be judged. Simply being is enough. Millions of South Africans suffered, and still continue to suffer, because of the politics of their skin. The struggle is for both black and white. It can be tough. Particularly so when you believe that it was noticing the colour of a person's
skin that created all the problems in the first place! I wish we lived in a world where skin was not quite so political! I wish we didn't notice it quite as much! I wish we could know who we are and not have to gain our identity by saying who others are not... My young daughter and her friends don't seem to notice the colour of their skin. How I wish we were more like that. I wish we had just one defining identity, identity in Christ.
