Racism is a sin. However the word has now been miss-used and weaponized, to try to destroy anyone who believes that all races should be treated equally.
There is only one race, and that is the Human Race
In some respects, "racism" is no more of a choice than the weather is a choice.
Define “racism”.
John Newton was an antisocial drumkard. He was kick out of the British Navy. He began work on a slave ship, however he was so hated by the crew, the captain sold him to a west African slave trader who gave him to his wife. She mistreated him as she did all of her slaves.
Newton was later rescued. His ship almost sunk on the journey. When he returned to England he once again joined the slave trade, However God had been working on him for years.
Newton began to see the error of his ways. After he had a stroke he had an awakening. He became a strict abolitionist and Christian minister. He led the charge and witnessed the signing of the abolition act of 1807.
During his time as a minister, Newton realized he had been a terrible person. The worst of the worst. He traded humans for money.
One day he wrote a little hymn to describe his life and conversion. The hymn is still sung today. It’s titled “ Amazing Grace”.
Hatred is a sin, but no sin can overcome the grace of God.
Years ago we would say,”You are such a jerk”.
Now we say,”You are such a racist”.
Both overused and meaningless.
