How the Bible Addresses Racism and General Prejudice

I think the thing we have to be aware of is the concept that exists between races… it’s the same concept of people from different states or parts of the country regardless of race.

PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT!

Things I do, think, believe, want, etc… are different from what you do, think, believe, want, etc… or at least they should be expected to be different, because you are not me and I am not you.

We get in a lot of trouble trying to force people to “be” or act a certain way. What we deem “appropriate” or “right” or whatever.

Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group

Bias is prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

So this explains that prejudice can seem to be a positive or negative, but again, you’ll get into trouble because prejudice generally has no justification, reason, or explanation that backs up the person exhibiting prejudice.
