Love for Unity

The African Methodist Episcopal denomination asked Christians to mark today together, in response to the shooting at Emmanuel AME in Charleston, SC.
I'd like to think that I'm not racist.  Half of my family is African American, one of my closest friends is from Guatemala, another is from Puerto Rico, others are gay.
The problem is that I am in the privileged white class. I don't know what it's like to live with another skin color. I don't know what it's like to live in this country without speaking English. I don't know what it's like to be attracted to someone of the same sex.
There are so many different ways that we discriminate against each other again and again.  Wars are fight, lives are lost, families torn apart because of hate.
Someday I'd like to think that we will learn love... To put down the knives and guns, to look past our differences, to find the similarities, to love one another.
