Racism

[Believer1997]

Racism, as ugly and vile as it is, exists yet today - in ALL countries throughout our world. As Christians, we are told to love one another - not just black people or white people, but all people. We all bleed the same color - red. The same color of the blood that was shed for us... ALL of us. Blessings brother.

I'm a member, (soon to not be) of another forum.

A certain person posted a topic that gives government statistics and says, that 50% of murders are caused by black people. Then goes on to say that black people are at a spiritual disadvantage because of their race.

I can't seem to get through to them and it's making me very angry. What's worse is other members are agreeing and patting him on the back for his bravery in stating the truth!

Then they all say I'm wrong and comparing what they're saying to the ayran christian church.

I don't get it! There's all this talk about the mark of cain, blah blah blah blah blah.

What is wrong with people???????????

Can't they see it's thinking like that that breads racial groups. Such as the KKK, or New Nazis? I used to think the same way, and at the same time, I was white power and hated everyone who wasn't white. Now they say they're not racist because they have black friends or what not.

Anyway,, I'm sorry, I know I'm new here, and this is a deep topic, I just needed to vent.

'Racism' in the west had gotten so distorted that people en masse are afraid to speak the truth. To be 'racist' means you think that another race is inferior to your own. However it has been so mangled that now you can risk attack from just speaking the truth about other races.

It's a joke.

Feed any lie and it'll cause damage.

I do not understand - what "truth about other races"?

Statistics can be given to support whatever one wants to support, but unbiased statistics only paints a picture of what really is. It may be that what the numbers show is that the more oppressed do commit more crimes. The oppressed could be any group of people and to bring in race only speaks of who is the oppressed.

I was able to find statistics that supported the fact that the African Americans have been "caught" more, but that does not mean that they have committed more. Still, at the same time, the numbers are shrinking and the gap closing.

I think you could probably find that more murders are caused by those closer to the poverty line. But then the racist will simply say that black people not only commit more murders - they are also poor and uneducated.

And raised by unwed mothers who got pregnant as teenagers in the inner cities where the only male influence in their lives are gang members....

There are truly so many factors involved.

To blame genetics is willful ignorance of the reality of the situation.

I think it still does boil down to a spiritual problem since there are certainly many poor people who are abundantly happy and productive. And the spiritual problems have nothing to do with the color of one's skin. They have do with with the history of an individual and how satan can manipulate them based on their history.

I agree . . . there are deep spiritual issues involved.

The same can be said for the racists, though, if you think about it.

[Believer1997]

Racists come in all shapes, sizes, religious affiliations and educational backgrounds. The days of stereotypical descriptions is long gone.... They are on Wall Street and Main Street.... They are everywhere... and they do love categorizing people and bending statistics to suit whatever view they want to uphold. Sad.

100% true.

And the thing is - racists have a so called "logical reason" for every racist belief they hold.

In a sense it is like atheism....

Exactly. Who would God have more compassion for or be more prone to offer grace to? The young male raised in the hood by a single mother with 6 kids who robs a variety store, or the white elitist who looks down his nose at the 14 year old believing himself to be spiritually superior, due to his race?

racism comes in all forms and to pin point it to one group and put the blame on one group it shows me were some people are realy at in their walk

you should see the hatred in the croatian forum both sides speak the same language we bleed the same yet the serbs hate us and we hate the serbs

its the same in my fiances country their are certain filapinos that look down on the poor and its the poor and singl mother who end up being taken advantage off

my sister in law thought she was comming to a good country wer she can earn money for her family her husband is looking after the five boys my sister in law applied for a job in hong kong as a house maid looking after the japaneese couples child and doing the house work i should have warned her how filapino maids are treated by the japaneese and by the chinse it was to little to late they sold their land for her to go to hong kong they had to pay the employment agency a fair bit of money for her to be trained she had to learn to speak the language with in a time frame of a six week course her paper work and visa had been aproved her boss payed for her visa

with in the first month everything was ok she was alowed to ring home her japaneese boss put a phone in her room she was payed on time then with in the third month it turned nasty my fiance rang me saying my sister is in trouble and has no way of coming back home she told me she had to use the public phone box and my sister in law was in tears he cut her phone line refused to pay her she acted in faith she is a baptist i told my fiance to tell her to contac the baptist church in hong kong and explaine the situation know my sister in law is in debt and they cant afford to loose there own land

i am ringing seeing if i can get my sister in law the money that is owed back to her and her bos put on a black list all over east asia and in saudi arabia and iran filapino house maids are looked down on beaten by there bosses wifes and even raped and killed

its not just targeted to one group

this topic set up in christian forums net is targetting black people and proffesor wrench has been standing up for the black people of america

i see this in the industry i am working in employers are even racist and please dont tell me it does not happen a survey was done in australia and it showed in the survey that if you are indian asian chinese filapino greek italian maltez serbian croatian south african nigerian arab iranian you wil not get the chance a pure white australian gets

in our jails in australia black aborigonal males older and younger males and women older and younger women their is a high percent turn over our jails end up getting the same offenders being sentanced for dealing steeling and assult

aborigonal australians who are our true australians dont even get the best jobs white australians get

but prottectiv services and the security industry and know the police are encouraging aborigonal australians to work with in the industrys

what proffesor wrench is wanting to say this forum is runing black americans

proffesor wrench put the challange up and said i dare you to walk into a black church and say what you are saying hear the forums moderator lets members shoot their mouths of the forums moderator does not close topics down his moderators working under him dont even support members who are openly attacked and abused soon as a prayer request is put in christian forum net the member who puts the prayer request in gets shot down in flames

i was told to leave christian forums net and leave australia by an australian christian it realy hurt me

my old pastors are aborigonal pastors and my pastors wife shared how they get heckled at and have to almost come to god in tears asking him why are they being looked down on by the white australian christians

in the farming community i moved from we had a big problem with the aborigonal youth this vigalanti group from grafton was going to do what is done in america with your street angels groups

they had traditional christians ready to hook up with the group from grafton in the nick of time we were able to set up a community foot patrol were we asked the local churches to come behind us to help us tackle what was going on in the town not one youth pastor put the hand up this would have given the youth pastors the chance to realy win thes young aborigonal youth into their youth groups

i pleaded and i talked in all the traditional churches to little use what i said just hit the ground

we had support from the secular youth workers and the local non believers

the aborigonal youth hated the police they would not stay home hang out in the mall or under the bridge on friday and saturday nights what the police would do is throw them in the cells

we needed to show the aborigonal youth that the police had a job to do and they realy cared it took 7 months to bring peace into the town we got given a 22 seater bus by the atorneys genral department and each year the community foot patrol is given a new bus

the police worked close with us we had two teams who would hang out on friday and saturday nights we would start at 8.30 pm and finish at 3am or 1 am

the youth were able to se threw us that the police can be trusted and no longer hang out late like they use to doing damage in the town

the main issue we saw was unemployment white australian buissnes owners wil not higher an aborigonal young person so what is a colored group to do ?

and you wonder why we have all the problems we are seeing in our countrys we live in

one group gets given all the special treatment and its been happening for a long time

if we do an honest avaluation you will see were i am comming from

i get it from christians a lot they dont have to open their mouth their looks tel me what i need to know and i know i am not wanted in their church worshiping with them on sunday but if i am white i am accepted and doors open up for me

please dont think i am being racist towards the whites i have good white friends who care for me and surround me and stand up for me my skin is olive brown

it should not be were we do this

we even have the kkk in australia cronulla riots remember that did you see that on news

sorry my post is to long please forgive me

its evident in our churches to and something needs to be done i am getting tired of being told i am not welcome in gods house by a group that is racist and cant confront their pass i am a christian i should have the right also to worship god with out being given the evil eye making me feel uncomfterbal and when the pastor is in the room look at me pastor look at your good little sheep see i am loving this sinner and when the pastor is not in the room you get the evil eye again

I don't get it! There's all this talk about the mark of cain, blah blah blah blah blah.

Black was not the mark of Cain think about the flood of Noah all of Cain's descendent's was destroyed in the flood so none of his descendent's live today.
