When the world rejects God it moves into the realm of insanity, lacking rational and reasonable thinking. Racism is one of these forms of insanity.
This is funny! In high school decorating class we learned that "white" was not a color, nor is brown or black, they are neutrals. There is no such thing as a "white person" or a "black person", everyone is a shade of brown created to be in the region of their make up.
Light tan people, like me, were better suited to cool regions for the winter weather.
Dark brown people were suited more for hot weather in the desert and tropical regions.
Every human being has all the genes for every people group. There is just one dominant in each family.
God made only one race! Cultures are different for each people group but we all have the genes for every people group within us. Only mankind can use this to divide and pervert this mucking up relationships with the help of the devil.
Racism is silly based on nothing important. It reminds me of the Hatfields and the Macoys feuding with one another for generations and the grandchildren still hated one another but didn't know why. It might be hilarious if it weren't so sad. Idiocy on steroids.
Each human being must be evaluated on the basis of their character personally, not what their fathers did or what their children do but on them alone.
Ezekiel 18:19-21
19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity?’ When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has observed all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live.
20 The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
21 “But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die."
I think we can use this passage in Ezekiel to related to judging a particular people group based on the skin color or culture of the people in which they were raised. To judge people on these things alone is foolish at best. Each man or woman stands alone before God for who they are, not which culture in which they were raised.
I am not like the culture I grew up in nor can my character be judged according to the people group in which I was born. I refuse to judge anyone else on superficial things according to appearances and I am convinced no one else should do this either.
John 7:24
"24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
