What Does Black or White Matter When We Are All Going to Stand Before the Same King?
What hurts me the most is knowing that we are in 2026, getting ready to enter 2027, and we are still keeping an old history alive systematic racism, division, hatred, and foolishness over the color of somebody’s skin.
At some point, I thought we would grow past this.
I thought we would reach an age where people would finally realize that Black and white, white and Black it does not matter when it comes to the value of a human life. I thought we would understand what we could accomplish if we actually came together instead of allowing hatred, jealousy, racism, and division to keep tearing us apart.
But here we are.
You can walk into a workplace, work hard, give everything you have, bring experience and dedication to the table, and still be mistreated. Sometimes because of the color of your skin. Sometimes because you are outspoken and refuse to sit quietly while wrong is being done. And when you are both Black and outspoken, you may find yourself pushed aside even harder.
You do not get sent to the training you deserve.
You do not get appreciated for the hard work you bring to the table.
You watch other people grow while doors continue to close in your face.
After a while, the system can make you feel like it is designed to make you resign yourself to staying where you are. To stop speaking. To stop trying. To stop believing you can accomplish more.
But why do we keep letting sin win?
Why do we keep allowing something as foolish as skin color to divide us when we all bleed the same? When we all suffer? When we all have families? When we all want to be respected? When we are all going to leave this earth one day and stand before God?
What does Black and white matter then?
The Bible says that Jesus Christ is coming back not secretly, not in a way where people will have to guess who He is. Jesus warned that false christs and false prophets would come, but His return will be unmistakable. In Matthew 24:27 (ESV), He compared His coming to lightning flashing across the sky. In Matthew 24:30–31 (ESV), all the tribes of the earth will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And Revelation gives us an even more powerful picture.
Revelation 19:11–16 (ESV) describes heaven opening and Christ coming on a white horse. He is called Faithful and True. His eyes are like a flame of fire. He comes in righteousness, and the armies of heaven are with Him. On His robe and on His thigh is written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
That is what I am trying to make sense of.
We are down here still arguing over Black and white, still dividing ourselves over skin color, still allowing racism and hatred to influence workplaces, opportunities, friendships, communities, and entire generations while the day is coming when everybody will know exactly who the true King is.
No skin color will make one person greater than another before Him.
No position will matter.
No title will matter.
No money will matter.
No popularity will matter.
No racism will matter.
No clique will matter.
The King of kings and Lord of lords will matter.
So I have to ask: Why are we still doing this?
Why are we carrying the stupidity of the past into the future instead of finally learning from it? Why are we allowing division to destroy what unity could build?
Imagine what this nation could accomplish if we stopped seeing each other as colors first and started seeing each other as people.
Because one day, whether people believe it or not, heaven will open.
And when the true King comes, we will not have to ask who He is.
Every eye will know.
