The Cleavland Indians, The Aztecs, The Florida Seminoles, etc. I guess it is something that I have overcome. The arrows of racism I have endured and have turned it into a positive. The Bible and the Urantia Book both teach to be born again. It tells the result will be that as a person we will receive the Fruits of the Spirit, which are , Love, Joy, Peace, Long Suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and TEMPERANCE.
