I believe that demons (unseen evil angels) that attempt to gin up racism were imported to these shores along with African slaves that believed in them.
Racism in a one-race country? Well it’s one-race as seen by the white man, but it’s not one-race to them. To them there are many tribes.
What has changed is the sense of who is a tribe.
Christian faith that is real enough to actually connect with God, not just sit on a bunch of human-led rules, is the only thing that’s going to push this back.
How convenient...
