You're not black. You are a man with dark skin. I am not white. I am a man with light skin. Take away the label, you also take away the stereotypes associated with the label. God does not label, define, categorize, or file the human spirit. This is what the Beast will do with his mark and number. We are all unique separately but all made in His image. This does not speak of our body, but of our Spirit, which is made in His image and meant to be holy. Welcome, brother.
