An idea has floated around in the past that says we should be color blind. We shouldn’t notice the color of our skin,

but we should treat each other the same. I want to counter that idea today. We shouldn’t be color blind;

rather, we should embrace each other’s ethnicities. God intended us to work together as a whole;

each race has abilities they bring to the table that better our community. When we ignore race or solely rely on negative stereotypes,

we build our society upon a skewed foundation. On the other hand, when we embrace our race and focus on what we each bring to the table,

we create a multicultural fabric of society that creates something beautiful. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
