How can a person who cannot see have a visual understanding of race? Can a person with no vision be able to see race? The short answer is yes, they can be racist. If you have been raised in a family that is racist, there is a good chance that you will have the same views even though you are blind. Vision is the most precious sense humans possess. More than ninety percent of communication is visual. A blind person will not have a visual context on which to base their opinions in life, but they can be taught to have racist opinions without visual evidence. That should give a hint that the origin of racism is not vision or the color of someone’s skin!


We need to start teaching our children that racism is wrong. Contrary to the left, we should teach that skin color is just a variation in the amount of melanin in the skin and nothing else. We do not see color as a way of judging a person.

Everyone needs to look at race through a new paradigm. We all need to start with a zero paradigm. Start over with no prior knowledge or history about one another. Everyone starts from scratch. You learn about a person from the beginning. God must be back in American life. You begin this process by coming together with a Christian heart and with the attitude of Christ.

People need to abide by the two commandments Jesus gave us.

Mark 12:30-31 NLT

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment greater than these.

C.S. Lewis stated, “Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

Every person is precious to God. We should treat everyone as a special person created by God. People need to overcome their sinful nature or tendency. We should make the effort to live life according to God’s direction so that the fruits of the Spirit, which are joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and, most importantly, love, will fill our lives.
