Pastor shares why racism will never end
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Pastor Bushiri had shared why racism will never end.
The cleric is of the strong belief that racism will not end easily. He said if people keep washing white clothes first before the rest, the scourge will not go away.
Pastor Bushiri also funnily hung his reason on black tyres for white cars in the automobile industry. Bushiri also questioned the use of the word "blacklisted" to ostracise a person instead of "whitelisted."
