Who’s The Racist ?

Who’Who’s The Racist ?

Life is hard and then you die. There is no promise of perfection, unity, equality or anything else. You are born into the world as it exists. You may be born White, Black, Red, or Yellow, or anything in between. The world changes from day to day, it is what it is, on that day, and it will always will be such. People are different. Many people are born into this world into circumstances that no one in their right mind would choose, and no one is in charge of what circumstance they are born into. The races are all prejudicial, none are exempt. anyone who would deny this has never read the Bible, or caught up on their history, their background or their historic lifestyle (how previous generations lived) all races are prejudicial. The Chinese, the Japanese, the European, the White, the Black, the early settlers of the Americas, (American Indians), Indonesians, Hispanic, Jewish, Mexican, African and any other race you may want to drag into this matter. All have their prejudices. There is no perfect race in any form in our world. God created them all, and it shall always be so that they (we altogether) are one race, THE HUMAN RACE, all equal, all have sinned and fall short. Maybe somewhere in the universe there is a perfect race of beings, but we have yet to find it. To claim that one group or ethnicity is racist is ridiculous, we are all given to make choices, It is a God given right, our decision to choose. Do not think that you are immune to it. Just as your choice of drink, food or automobiles is based on your likes and dislikes, so it is that in all of life you must make choices, and that goes for your likes and dislikes of people as well. It is true that most certainly we all can enjoy different drinks, foods, and automobiles, and as well, our choice of friends, (close and or distant) is ours to make. And it is every day that our path of life brings us to the matter of choice, every day. Shall I go to work, or stay home, go to the doctor or not, drive or walk, sleep or stay awake, life is made up of choices, and everyone on earth has to make them, from the first awakening of morning to the last moment before death. Even in our dreams, there are choice moments, and moments of angst. So shut up about the matter of racism. Being an American does not make on a racist, nor does being white black or any other color of your skin make one a racist. A racist is one who continually spouts the differences between the races, and how those differences affect other races. Differences??? Yes there are differences, ask anyone on this earth and they will tell you that no two races are the same. There are differences, and those differences force us to make choices, we all do things differently, no one does their decision making the same as anyone else. It is a matter of choice. You too, just like your neighbor make choices every moment of every day. That is why Jesus came to this earth, to put an end to the matter of wrong choices. Starting with Adam and Eve, we all make wrong choices. The Parable of The Good Samaritan is the perfect story of race relationships. Jesus said that the greatest commandment is that we love God with all our heart, mind and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves. Until one is able to do that, one cannot claim to be race neutral, and if you are not race neutral then you ARE racist. So you think I am wrong? Then answer me this. Would you give your life hanging on a cross until you die to save your neighbors soul? If you cannot honestly answer that quickly without stopping to consider it, then tell me, For whom would you be willing to die? We are all faced with choices, some are great and some are small, yet all are choices. I choose my friends based on the truth of their character, so do not lay on me the word racist unless you are willing to speak it of yourself. Some of my friends are of "another" race, I am of "another" race, and being of the human race, there are people of every race creed and color with whom I would rather not associate, but I do not hate them, I may indeed hate what they do or say, or even how they speak and conduct their lives. But I make allowances for those things, and I just leave those people alone. Does that make me racist? My preferences in vegatables is similar, some of them are distasteful to me. but I do not hate them. The matter of race relations is here to stay. I hate the word racist, and I do not like for people to use that word in my presence, but if they want to speak of it, then I must allow that they have the right to speak it. I do not like it, nor do I approve of the use of it, but I do not hate the person who speaks it. But alas, it is a hate filled word and because we are human we still know how to apply the word to others, but not ourselves. So until that final Day of Judgment when God comes to separate the sheep and the goats, choice is still relevant, God is the final judge of the soul of all men. and even then, choice is there, but this time it’s God’s to make. Do not mention racist to me of anyone, for until YOU are the judge, You might just be the racist.
