Reggie Williams reveals that racism is a construction of systems and structures around an

ideal race: white, European, and masculine. What is your view of this from where

you live? Is it in your sight? In your periphery? Out of sight?

Christ is always with those whose backs are pressed against the wall by oppressive regimes…

Christ is (where he says in Mt 25) in society as the hungry, as the imprisoned, as the naked, as the

thirsty… —Reggie Williams

If you shun people who are not the ideal, Williams says you are shunning Christ.

Think about this.

Imagine breaking down the systems and structures that dehumanize people. Where

is Jesus in this vision? Where is your church community? Where are you?

What is the first door of oppression that you can participate in opening?
