I wish I could say that I've never said anything racist. I wish I could say that I never uttered a racial slur, or viewed someone differently because of the color of his/her skin. Unfortunately, racism is in my family tree and I can't say that I always knew how wrong it was. I can't recall an instance of racism in my heart since I was a teenager, and my hope and prayer is that we COMPLETELY erase that in our limb of the family tree in the generations ahead.
