For everybody, I think that we all, when we look at this situation of race, we need a change of heart, and I said it before. I believe the heart change comes from repenting of your racism, repenting of your bias, repenting of your prejudice and understanding that, you know what, God sees us all the same.

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough.

Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.

My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.

Oppression does not make for hearts as big as all outdoors. Oppression makes us big and small. Expressive and silenced. Deep and dead.

Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death.

I'm not a racist, that's what so insane about this, and yet it's said, it comes through, it fires out of me, and even now in the passion that's here as I confront myself.

Having love in your heart doesn't count for much if what comes out of your mouth is ugly and bigoted.

It does grieve me to think there are people misunderstanding my heart on an issue.
