I’d like to share an essay by my son on Black Lives Matter. He is a freshman an Liberty University:
Hello everyone.
I’m writing tonight as a concerned student. As I watch the madness unfolding on college and university campuses across this nation – the “protests,” the riots, the vicious hatred of the so-called “Black Lives Matter” movement – I am profoundly and deeply disturbed.
Of course, I understand that on the outside, this might seem like a just and worthy cause. After all, who doesn’t want to end racism? But please, I implore you, especially my fellow college and university students, stop and look – really look – at what is happening. Tragically, what we are seeing here is not the pursuit of justice, it is the abandonment. And it breaks my heart.
Now, before I go any farther, I should like to make it very clear that I am NOT a racist. I harbor no malice or ill will against anyone based on the color of their skin, nor their ethnicity. As a matter of fact, as a Christian, I am called to love all people – friend and enemy, black and white, man and woman – and to serve all above myself. That is my call, and though I am first to admit that I stumble at times, I would hope my character bears this out.
