Wow can’t believe how much this thread has deteriorated.
What are we doing now, slandering people for posting an opinion.
I would add that I live in UK, I’m mixed race.
Personally I had to put up with a lot of racism, name calling growing up.
I’m 50 now. The racism has almost dimished to the point where for me
anyway, it’s non existant.
I do encounter it occasionally and it’s invariably the older generation,
who were taught and grew up with this kind of ignorant thinking,
who are still of that same mindset. Like the old lady in the bus stop
last year who was openly telling her old friend that these “bleep bleep”
should go back to the jungle where they come from.
I honestly think that unless you are in a position to experience
racism for yourself, either because you are non white or because you
have family/friends who are non white. It’s hard to appreciate the
harm and venom by which it is expressed. The intent and thinking
behind it, are pure poison, I would go as far as saying satanic by nature.
The reason being is that a racist person, somehow holds the belief that
a non white person is something less than human, which goes completely
against everything the bible teaches.
Racism demonises people for the colour of their skin. It assumes
“Evolution” somehow created a lesser being.
It is also a thinking built on fear and ignorance.
No genuine born again Christians could continue to hold such views
against the backdrop of the word of God and God’s love.
As has been in an earlier post, I think the problem is that churches often have
congregations of the genuinely saved and the traditional church
attendees who go to church out of tradition, who are not born again.
