The Race Card and the Bible by Bill Wilson

This blog is actually by Bill Wilson.  It is appallingly true, unfortunately.  Not only are Christians (professing or authentic) misunderstanding much of what is going on in this world, due to their desire for social justice, but they do so because they do not seem to understand the basic doctrines taught in Scripture.

This has never been more clear than since this country elected its first black president. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with electing anyone of color (or gender for that matter), but the problem with our current president is his particular outlook and personal associations.  Since BEFORE he became president, it was clear to many of us that he was very pro-Palestinian and pro-Islamic, which placed him against what America stands for and what this country has valued since its inception.

Over the past decade or more, the race card has been played with increasing frequency.  The problem with that though is that while racism DOES exist in the United States and in the world, making every issue revolve around race is not only untrue, but counter-productive.  People are getting tired of doing what is right and being called racist.  This is most recently true with the issue surrounding the determination by Muslim groups to build a mosque at Ground Zero.  The term “racist” has already been bandied about by Muslims against those who are not.  It is a term that is used to extinguish all debate or dissension.  Who wants to be called a racist?  It seems that only racists actually appreciate being called that and they could care less what anyone thinks.  The individual who is clearly not racist, but opposes the mosque at Ground Zero because they are all too well aware of the real intentions of Muslims (as part of the tenets of Islam) in building a mosque.  These people are also well aware of the fact that though the mosque at Ground Zero is being touted as a place for all faiths to gather and learn, no one except Muslims will ever be allowed inside the worship area of the mosque itself.

To call people racist is to immediately close down dialogue.  It is like calling someone a “hatermongerer” when they say without emotion that they believe homosexuality to be wrong.  I would have to agree with Wilson (see below) that our current president is polarizing the races, simply because he refuses to be playing only to those groups who are on “his side,” and for the most part, they are radical blacks whose doctrine is Black Dominion Theology.  It is sad and tragic that this is happening in a country that had slavery and fought a war over it, in order that slaves would be able to be free.  The war of the North vs. the South was fought mainly over the issue of slavery with brother pitted against brother – all of it on American soil.

We can be assured that as time goes on, the race situation will become worse and it will have no winners.
