As a guy who wasted so much of my youth in the racialist-skinhead movement, this video kicked my face in. Praise you Jesus for guys like John Piper...

I struggle with resenting White people, not because of who they are but because of the racial supremacy their skin has represented. I have daydreamed situations in my mind and how I would react to them, and more times then not they don't represent the love of God. This video put me on the verge of tears.

Lord Jesus, thank you for John Piper.
