Oh come on DAD even you can see that this poster comes from a time when racism was the norm.
Racism was never the norm in America.

As I have pointed out many times, our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur legally on U.S. soil.

You really don't know anything about history, do you?

You're assuming that the government will always respect the Bill of Rights. News flash: it doesn't.

Whether they respect it or not, it ensures no pogrom will occur legally on U.S. soil.

I think he's got the Bible mixed up with Mein Kampf or The Preservation of Favoured Races.
Racism was not only rampant in the USA during the 19th and 20th centuries that it was practically applied in many states legally in the form of like; "Blacks sit in the back of the bus"! Or "Whites only" in diners and restaurants.

Showing a White 50's style family and announcing that it depicts the rapture is basically passing the message that only those types of people get to go to heaven!

This would be more fitting for a rapture poster:

In the eye of the beholder, eh?

And let me make this plain: this is NOT the Rapture, it is the Second Coming.

I thought I pointed that out earlier.

I stand corrected on the rapture. Aren't they the same thing basically? (Yes when I do not know something I ask)!:wave:

But it's still a racist picture, right?

No -- there is a 7-year gap between them.
(Yes when I do not know something I ask)!:wave:
In this case, only after you've been called out on it; and if I was a betting man, I'd bet 50 euros that that picture is still wrong in your eyes, isn't it?

That's the thing with you Internet scientists: you can jump in here and accuse us (or something) of being wrong -- then, when it's pointed out that your premise is what is wrong -- we're still wrong.

^_^ -- You guys crack me up!

OK thanks!

Since I did not know the difference between rapture and 2nd coming then suffice it to say I could not know I was incorrect in my assumption. I accepted your word for it since I am not the "Bible expert". Would you like to rub some salt in an imaginary wound:confused:

What on earth are you on about AV:confused: I haven't the foggiest as to what you are rambling on about. Perhaps if you dealt us some clean unmarked cards we could play a clean game eh;)^_^^_^^_^

And yet, lynchings of black people were very common before the civil rights era.
With respect to the Bill of Rights, or in spite of the Bill of Rights?

You see, I was careful not to say:
... our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur on U.S. soil.
... but instead I said:
... our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur legally on U.S. soil.

And why would it matter whether it's legal or not?
What kind of question is that?
Perhaps he was trying to point out that followers of Jesus must always obey the Lord even if it conflicts with the laws of man. ("No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?")

If it happens anyway, legal or no, who cares whether or not the law nominally says it's illegal? It still happens, people still die. That is far more important than any law.

Indeed -- laws only matter if they are enforced and followed, otherwise they're just words on a page.

Right. It's really disconcerting how frequently the bill of rights is utterly disregarded, typically in the service of either religion or jingoism.

They do. Get used to it. God loves whites. Don't you? He looks at the heart.

Instead of keeping a certain skin color out of a restaurant, they keep Christian teachers and the bible and God out of schools, and government, etc etc etc...progress.
