I did not listen to Oaks talk so I can& #39;t comment on that, but I will say just telling people to root out racism doesn& #39;t do anything. While I greatly appreciate the sentiment, just saying don& #39;t be racist does absolutely NOTHING. My counsel to the brethren, would be to start...

saying specifics. For example, lets root out the racism in our hearts by advocating for low income/government housing in our neighborhoods and communities. Let& #39;s welcome refugees and immigrants of all nationalities with open arms. Lets acknowledge systemic racism in the church...

and in our respective countries. Let& #39;s listen to members of color. Let& #39;s allow our children to befriend and date people of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Let& #39;s create and uplift more racially diverse religious artwork. Let& #39;s diversify church leadership....

Let& #39;s acknowledge police brutality. Let& #39;s fight for DACA students. Let& #39;s stop teaching that curses in the scriptures are about Latinos, Indigenous, or Black people. Let& #39;s be open to introducing more diverse resources into our children& #39;s curriculum. Let& #39;s make sure we support...

leaders that preach for equality, equity, justice, and love. Let us open our eyes to see the beauty in all cultures.

I truly believe if we don& #39;t start naming specifics and forcing people to question if their beliefs fall in line with Christs Gospel...

people are never going to change.
