Featured Southern Baptist State Conventions this year

Fair enough. Without argument I will likewise state my own position, which starts with the truism that not everything called racism is racism.

The issue as raised is evidently one of "racial neutrality," or so-called racial neutrality, versus actual racial neutrality, defining those terms however one means them.

I agreed to the original statement having in mind that abandoning a policy of disallowing racial prejudice would inevitably lead some to successfully promote racial prejudice without opposition, or even with approval.

Imagining there are no color differences is blind nonsense. Treating matters as if there are no cultural differences is patently unbiblical. It is not racism to recognize racial prejudice and stand against it whatever form it takes.

 

You think? The Left has created an industry out of falsely accusing others of racism while they themselves freely practice racism.

 

I think that the focus is wrong. By trying to make appointments with regard to skin color, even if the reason is to spread them out fairly and evenly, is racist in an affirmative action sense.

The idea of social diversity is a socialistic governmental concept aimed at the eventual acceptance of all forms of immoral lifestyle (i.e. sodomy,homosexual marriage, fornication, and such). That concept should be banned from the church. Initially, diversity will be presented as a Christian concept (good Samaritan, love thy neighbor) aimed at race relations. It will later morph into acceptance of various Christ-hating doctrins into the church like evolution and pantheism. It makes me cringe to see churches promoting "diversity."

 

Jerome, I agree this is a welcome trend. Thank you for posting.

 

There are those who look at anything white as racist.

Yet those same will look at anything of color and declare it non-racial.
