It has become fashionable for some to play the "Race" card of late.
Personally, I consider this sort of thing offensive. It seems to me
that blacks often call each other racial names and that is "OK"???
Furthermore, I have often seen blacks look down on Hispanics, so- Who is
racist when this happens??? Thirty years ago, I worked for Woodbridge
Sanitary Pottery in New Jersey (now closed). They made vitreous china-
you know, sinks, lavatories, toilets and the like. At lunch time, you
could go into the cast shop and see many small groups eating lunch;
Japanese, Chinese, Korea, Polish, Russian and Italian were just a few of
them. Each group disliked the others and looked down on them!!! The
place was FULL OF RACISM!!! This experience taught me that racism is
not a "whites only" thing, but encompasses every nationality, all across
this globe. Hatred is always wrong and is a primary tool of Satan (and
those humans who choose to follow him), who is trying to destroy ALL
RACES!!! Be aware of this, learn to HATE THIS TRICKERY OF SATAN and at
the same time, remember to love everyone- no matter how different they
are from you!!!! Consider these few Scriptures...
Ephesians, Chapter 4
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until
we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ; 14 that
we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness,
after the wiles of error; 15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ; 16 from
whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which
every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each
individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in
love.
Galatians, Chapter 3
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
The love of God changes things; it can change you (if you will let it).
I know, because I am not the same person that I was in the sixties or
even the very early seventies, for that matter. Honestly, the Bible
taught me what love was really all about and if you really love- well,
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE A RACIST??? Now, when I was about 23 years old,
my life seemed empty (even though I had risen to a supervisory
position) and so I was searching for something to give me the yearnings
of my heart. About this time, I met a man named Eugene Searcy, who
changed my life. He gave me a copy of the living bible- which I read
through several times in the next couple of years. Without him caring
enough about me to give me his bible- WHERE WOULD I BE TODAY??? So, I
often think kindly of him and wonder whatever became of him??? I pray
that he is well and that God will richly bless him (wherever he might
be). For, you see, he led me to God's truth and I love him for
it!!!!! And, I forgot to mention.... he is black!!!!!! These things
are true and unadulterated in any way and if they help- then I am one
very happy man!!!! May God help us all to learn to "get along"!!!!!
Your Friend,
Gary
