Racism is as popular a notion today as social distancing, face covering, pandemic, protesting and rioting. That's because it's being used in a veiled attempt to control the societal narrative, thereby furthering brain-washing people into believing that we are all 'systemically racist.' The mission of these new groups is to take down America, just check their websites. How ludacris is it to claim that all non-blacks are racist? I know I'm not.
But the best way to find God's answer to anything is go to the Word to see what the Bible says. And what does it say on this subject?
God's Word makes it clear, that He doesn't see color the way people do. We all come from a specific area in the world, which is our ethnicity and that's all. God does not say 'black' in reference to any person or people group in His Word:
"Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman."
This verse speaks only of her ethnicity, not her color. That's because God only cares about our heart, not the pigmentation of our skin. The only reason blacks have darker skin than whites is because of where their ancestors were born. That's the only reason: so their skin can handle the heightened intensity of the sun, period.
It would seem that this calling people in accordance with their skin color was a bad plan from the start. Perhaps if society never did that, slavery may not have ever occurred.
Calling someone 'white' is somehow considered a compliment of sorts, while 'black' is actually derogatory-sounding. When you really think about it, the color black represents darkness, which represents evil. There are a few other names general society could have attached to people of color, like African American, for example.
Perhaps one thing we can do in the fight against racism, is to stop using terms like white, black and brown, red and yellow to label people, to describe someone, sure, but not using these terms in such a way that defines them, as this appears to further the separation of God's people.
Inasmuch as God does NOT see people in terms of color, maybe we shouldn't either.
NKJV
I have been writing for many years. I really got serious when my 3 kids were still quite young, as they inspired me to write children's fiction. I now have 21 Amazon publications. Also, I've just completed a Bible study course. Now I plan to go hard copy with my books, when I get the funds!
