5. RACISM CUTS DEEP: A CONVERSATION WITHANTHONY WALKER From Renew.org | Interview by Daniel McCoy

*Editors’ Note: With some of the horrific recent stories of infuriating injustice done toward African Americans (e.g., Ahmaud

Arbery, George Floyd), I wanted to reach out to my friend Anthony Walker, an African American minister at a church in

Murfreesboro, TN. We should all be feeling grief over these losses, and we need to hear the pain and frustration that the

African American community is experiencing right now. Anthony talks about the pain and also suggests ideas for racial

reconciliation.

Q: Anthony, you have a son. How do these headlines—out ofMinneapolis, New York City’s Central Park, Georgia—make youfeel?Anger is the first thing.

I’m reminded a biblical parallel: When Jesus in John 2 sees them takingadvantage of His people, seeing people being disenfranchised, He gets angryand upturns the temple. Then on the flip side, it makes me sad. The sadnesscomes from understanding that my son is going to have to deal with somethings that really hurt when I was a kid.

Some of the first racial stuff I experienced—it blew my mind. It’s not like I didn’tnotice race; obviously, we all notice it. We see it, but I just didn’t think that therewas anything truly different about us. To treat me a particular way because of

was anything truly different about us. To treat me a particular way because ofmy color? That hurt.

So to know that my son is one day going to experience that—it saddensme. It makes me angry.
