While opinions about the rise of racial tensions are many and varied, I find that I agree with these words from Al Mohler:

“Any concept of racial or ethnic superiority is a rejection of the gospel of Christ – the great good news of God’s saving purpose in the atonement accomplished by Christ. A claim of racial superiority denies our common humanity, our common sinfulness, our common salvation through faith in Christ, and God’s purpose to create a common new humanity in Christ.”
