  • Keeping The Faith...Recent mass shootings beg question: Can you be Christian and racist?

    This was a very good article on Yahoo! I know that I am not racist. I'm cool with people who are cool with me. However, I ain't no fool either. Apparently, to these other
    ethnic groups, a Christian CAN be racist with how they treat black people. I went through so much hell trying to get my degree and graduate that I almost fell into a TOTAL
    DEPRESSION. The racism coming at me from every conceivable angle made my experience in college a terrible one. I could only count on hand the days that I had at school that were good.

    If a black man is not careful, he could end up with a totally wasted life. One thing that I made sure to do, was to always stick to my goals. I didn't waste time, just so I could look back and feel like a REAL failure. I made sure to graduate from College. I wasn't going to stop until I got that degree. I made sure to write my book, because, If I didn't write it, eventually, I would have FORGOTTEN all the things that I went through being a young black man, at the time, going through all of that racism. I wrote it all down, so other black men can actually read what regular black men are put through in this society.

    Black men, have to make sure to set goals and STICK to them. Otherwise, when you get to a certain age and look back, if you didn't try to accomplish something, you are going to feel like a total loser. With me, I made sure that I graduated from College, wrote a book, and got married. The marriage didn't work out. However, I think that I will get married again one of these days.

    Anyway, I am going to say this, I don't think you can be a Christian and be racist. However, I ain't going to be no fool either. All of these other groups hate blacks. Many of them still pray to Jesus every night. I don't understand why people are that way. Anyway, read the article below:

    Thank you for sharing this article. In reference to the article on Yahoo the article is correct you guys are in" serious serious trouble". To put into context Christianity and itself has always been an opening and welcoming Book of Knowledge as well as the Dark Side of History. The Bible has no shame in that. But when a group of people use the Bible in such a way to suppress other people of other are there races in such a way where they become dominant, is contradictory to the Bible itself with in scriptures. Even the historical references of L for example Jesus himself and other prophets of faith. It has been used in the past in the formation of the United States in the beginning stages of colonization with the using a slave labour force Africans. I don't think we even need a history lesson on to that, but here's my point. In order to control the masses at the time and the age of colonization in the 1700's going on to the end of slavery they use the Bible as an example to enact a form of dominance and control over slave and master. There was a movie based on that called The Birth of a Nation. I highly recommend watching it. This new Resurgence in it racism is using the exact same tactics as the slave master's in colonization of the 1700's farming I use of manifest destiny of the white conscious, not just black people but all Races of the United States or other places of the world. They've even use the original Nordic religion as an excuse to use white supremacy. I have a few friends who are in the Nordic religions and I find it very offensive when people use racism as an excuse to empower their white privilege even though they are white. As I conclude this paragraph We need to be very aware of this of the new resurgence white supremacy, and the Christianity Doctrine because in a way it can take over an entire culture. If not check correctly It can change a democracy with an instant and turn it into a theocracy, in turn is a bad idea for the world. What are your thoughts if you can answer?

      I agree with you. Christianity has been used as a means to subjugate entire populations. The people that used it--white people--didn't even practice what they preached. They raped, enslaved, and stole in the name of Christianity. They used Christianity to make whole populations docile. However, they made sure not to become docile themselves from the teachings of Christianity. They used Christianity to make other races inferior. Especially, people of African descent.
