I believe the sin of racism is founded in the roots of all sin – that is selfishness.

James, the brother of Jesus, wrote in 3:16 “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every evil practice.”

When humans think more of themselves than of others, they are succumbing to the temptation of selfishness. When we think more of others than ourselves, then we are practicing selflessness. Only through an attitude of selflessness and by practicing selflessness everyday, will we rid our nation of racism.
