I’m not a racist because I’m just telling the truth

"If I'm just stating the facts, then I can't be racist." Is this true? How should we respond to this?

 

We are again recommending the book "Talking about Race" by Isaac Adams as our Diversity in Fellowship resource. 

Talking about Race with Isaac Adams

We are interviewing author and pastor Isaac Adams about his book "Talking about Race: Gospel Hope for Hard Conversations" (https://www.zondervan.com/9780310124429/talking-about-race/).

 

Isaac serves as the lead pastor of Iron City Church in Birmingham, AL, where he lives with his wife and children. He is the founder of United? We Pray (uwepray.com), a ministry devoted to prayer about racial strife--especially between Christians.
