Racism

Observer · Dec 14, 2005

When I watch the news, talk to people I know, go in a chatroom... it feels like racism has consumed my country. There are riots going on in parts of Australia where thousands of people flock together for "leb bashing day"... they're beating up anyone who appears to be of middle eastern descent... punching, kicking, throwing beer bottles, using smashed beer bottles, knives... and now "middle eastern gangs" are retaliating and going down the streets and torching cars. Everyone has gone crazy... there's so much violence and I want it to stop. These people don't even know what they're fighting for... they're screaming white pride but most of them are obviously mixed races. They're fighting for whites, well, people call me "white", and I don't freaking want them to be violent for me. The entire thing is ridiculous... it's senseless and utterly stupid... I hate it. I wish I could show them what's going to happen to them all but I can't. Please pray for God to rid us of this hatred. Please pray for any other area that's experiencing this garbage... they all want to kill themselves, why should the people who don't want a part of this have to pay for their actions? I feel like I completely and utterly hate them with all of my heart... but I don't want to hurt them... why do they want to hurt us? don't even want to leave my house... I don't even feel safe IN my house

Racism is always senseless and stupid and the people that get caught up into it are lost in ignorance and stupidity and lies.

Yeah, I've heard about that. It's SO incredibly said. I pray God touches our hearts and brings change. And that he'll help us to do our best so a real integration can happen...

Racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, it all belongs in the "This Sucks" bucket. People need to grow up and stop hating people because of their race, gender, or skin color. If you hate someone, make sure God agrees with you before you go on a bashing rant, otherwise, just shut up.

It is true that God wants us to see Differences. But we are also taught to hate no one. Hate, in God's eyes, is the same as Murder.

On that note, this goes to passing judgement on those who hate as well. We are not to judge these people but to reach out to these people and share our faith. Hatred is a learned behavior and it usually stems from ignorance. The only way to cure Hatred is through education.

Humans fear what they don't understand. And what is feared soon becomes the enemy that must be destroyed. It has been pertinently observed that Fear, not Hate, is the opposite to Love. And the race riots in Sydney are such a prime example of this sad truth.

Love and respect for other persons can only grow from openess, humility and an attempt to understand the "other". This is something the church has been historically bad at - but is so very important today!

May we all make a point of reaching out in reconciliation particularly to those we do not understand.

You're put in such a position of powerlessness.

I have no idea how Martin Luther King was able to step up and speak out fearlessly. The climate was similar to what you're living in now; and he did make a difference, but I can't picture being the target of attack and walking in such gumption.

OOOOps! Prayers for your safety, your reputation, those dear to you, your property, and your future.

We pray that all non-white people will come to understand that the Racist classification of people according to their skin colour has never been approved by God and that non-white people will be given the strength to stop supporting the system of White Supremacy so that they will not share the same fate as the Racists.

As long as White Supremacy exists people classified as 'White' since birth with or without their permission cannot be trusted.

ULTIMATE POWER is God the sum total of all known and all unknown power.
-SUPERIOR POWER is White Supremacy.
-INFERIOR POWER is all power subject to White Supremacy.
IMMEDIATE POWER is the power everyone has to act without permission from any other person.

The perfect combination of ULTIMATE POWER and IMMEDIATE POWER is TRUE RELIGION.

The BICRE stands for the British Independent Commission for Racial Equality.

I will pray that you will meet God. He opens your eyes in a way you have never experienced before. You will start to understand this hatred and also know how to deal with it. You build a house brick by brick and in the same way you have to win these people over.

Father even though there's so much evil going on, you are much stronger. Give the victims the grace to overcome. Give the perpertrators, like Saul the vision to see you and turn for you, to repent and guide others to you.
He that is in us is greater that he that is in the world.
