Racism: what would Jesus do?

I had asked for subject ideas on facebook and a friend suggested that I do a post about racism, and I really don't know what to write, so I'll wait for God to reveal something for me to write................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Racism is all over the world, even in these modern times, there are people who are racist of others because of their skin color and even because of their faith practice and belief's. 
God does not condone racism, He says to love your neighbor as you love yourself, does that mean only love someone if they believe like you do? or if they are the same color as you are? NO if means no matter who the person is, we are commanded to LOVE them.

not everyone follows the Lord Jesus Christ though, so what about those people who do not follow the bible and they are racist against others, how are we suposed to handle those situations? well God tells us, we are to LOVE....we are to show them the Love of God even when they are racist. when someone is racist against you and is hateful toward you no matter the reason, do not respond in the same way, we are held to a higher standard set by Jesus Christ, so when they act hateful toward you even if their only reason is because your from a country they hate or your a different color or faith then them, this is your chance to minister to them, Show them the Love of God, no matter what they do or say, do as Jesus did. Jesus didn't defend Himself when the religious leaders took Him before Pilate, He stayed silent....so when someone shows hatred toward you, that is your chance to pray for them and Love them.

God Bless
