    As is true in many cases, we tend to think what we think is the way people have always thought about a matter. However, from this clip, we can see out NT brethren didn't think about race the same way we think of it today.

    They knew there were different races, but their concern was more with ACTIONS & ALLEGIANCE rather than appearance.

    “What you mean ‘we,’ white man?” :Wink Perhaps I missed something, but the description of division and prejudice by culture and language, which are nearly synonymous, sounded very much like the modern world.

    A huge lie is that America is more racist, as America is probably the least racist country in the world. We happen to have whittled it down to just a few with ever more progress, though certain nefarious elements are trying to accentuate differences and provoke division.

    And the IRS is more than happy to collect taxes from everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, etc.

    They thought Ben Hur was good at it.
