The OP is the one missing the boat. I am all for someone who is happy in life because of their faith. However, a good Christian needs to be empathetic to the plights of all people. By diminishing the importance of how people of color have a tougher life than white people, the OP is not practicing his faith. The praying and going to church every Sunday is the easy part. The application of the Christian faith in all aspects of your life is much harder. I pray the he rereads his post and realizes that there is such a thing as White Privilege and that using his thankfulness for loving parents and his faith, in this context, seemed racially insensitive.
