Historically, when racism was an evil--as defined by the dictionary*—it could be committed by anyone, of any group, or by any race of people! However, now that the liberal ethic has replaced the Judaeo/Christian ethic in the Western culture, a new form of racism has emerged. In other words, the traditional forms of white and black racism are now trumped by Liberal Racism. For example, historically white racism was defined as whites who negatively pre-judge (primarily blacks) by the darkness of their skin. And, black racism was defined as blacks who negatively pre-judge (primarily whites) by the whiteness of their skin. However, as liberalism has searched for ways to increase political power, it stumbled upon an ‘almost’ impregnable method. As a matter of fact, I don’t know if there is a record of anything like this in the annuals of human history!! What is the so-called ‘impregnable’ method?
First, liberalism retained the traditional definition of White racism, making it their mask, i.e.the first thing anyone sees when observing liberalism. Because white racism exists, the white racism mask creates a ‘first impression’ of liberalism**: a.truth b.authenticity c.sympathy ….which together creates--in the gullible masses--an openness to receive all things liberal! Ironically, this is true even in a culture that has traditionally been dominated by the Judaeo/Christian ethic. Remember, liberalism is a doctrine of atheism, and therefore facilitates atheism. However, very few who possess the Judaeo/Christian ethic*** will fall for an in-your-face: God does not exist! Therefore, liberalism enters through the back door; while looking you in the eye, it advocates kindness and tolerance, which interestingly, are Biblical attributes of God(Rom2:4); but behind your back, liberalism diligently works to reject God’s word in the culture, by marketing sin and evil; which obviously affirms their hatred for Him! Now…back to the mask! The intent of liberalism for the mask of white racism is to raise a moral smoke screen to hide their anti-Bible and atheistic agenda in a Judaeo-Christian culture. As I wrote earlier, because white racism does exist, and is a culturally agreed upon evil, any ‘normal moral human being’ will agree to racism’s evil when it is uncovered. Therefore, the accusation of white racism, keeps the ‘normal moral human being’ agreeable…and quiet! But remember, liberalism uses white racism as a mask, which assumes something lurks under the mask not so agreeable! When the ‘not so agreeable’ stuff begins to protrude from under the mask, and the person who recognizes the ‘not so agreeable’ stuff is white, according to liberalism, he just proved his racism; while any black who raises his/her voice, becomes an Uncle Tom, and a sell-out. Hence, liberalism has what they believe to be, the perfect methodology to coerce its agenda on a willfully gullible culture. Second, while retaining the traditional definition of White racism as evidence for its moral authority, through the sleight-of-hand, liberals create a unique emphasis on racism, twisting and perverting it just enough to deceive the masses. For example, liberalism has been able to win liberal blacks to their camp by declaring all whites’ racist—which of course, is exactly what liberal blacks want to hear. On the other hand, they have been able to win liberal whites through the guilt of past white supremacy that has historically dominated America—also known as ‘White Guilt’. Interestingly however, before slavery ended in 1865, many abolitionists were white; and later on in 1965, many civil rights participants were white; yet those whites who fought for black rights, did not fight other whites because they were white, but because they were racist! Today, liberalism has created a new version of racism--a racism invented by the rejection of the Judaeo/Christian ethic. It is a feelings-based racism—which is intellectually supported through another of their doctrines: relativism; which allows them to apply racism whenever, and to whomever they choose! The new Liberal Racism is really quite amazing! I lived through the 1960’s and watched white racism, with its hatred, up close and personal. Yet, I never dreamed of the day when I would see white people fighting other whites declaring them racist—not because of their racism—but because of their whiteness! Remember, authentic white racism declares blacks offensive because of their blackness!! Now, through liberalism---there is a complete reversal! Liberalism demands whites genuflect to blacks because of their blackness! We certainly live in a new day, a day where racism now takes on a new twist—which in reality, has never before existed! Two more examples, please? First, by rejecting the Judaeo/Christian ethic, under the new liberal ethic, using absolutely absurd logic, liberalism simply declares blacks cannot be racist! Why? Because liberals contend blacks have no political power! Those with an iota of wisdom however, see right through this folly. If it were true that blacks can’t be racist because they have no political power, what about the nations of Africa, where blacks have all the political power? For example, using the same liberal logic: “Whites are racist because they are white, and have political power, and are the majority”; is it also then true that blacks in Nigeria are racist against the minority Chinese, Indians, and whites in their midst--because they are black, have political power, and comprise the majority? Interestingly, through their other doctrine of relativism, the liberal is allowed to contradict himself---and still say no! Why? Because relativism, i.e. a feelings based ethic, allows them to pin the racist badge on whoever, and whenever they choose! Therefore, they can simply choose not to pin the racist label on Nigerians! Second, when President Obama, who is black, was elected as president--which is the apex of political power on planet earth, mind you--who subsequently appointed two black Attorney Generals; did all blacks suddenly become racist because of our blackness, now that we had political power?!?! Once again, liberals simply and easily, with a smile on their face, shouts: “Of course not!!” Why? Liberals are not required to hold to a universal standard, because they are relativists! Under the Judaeo/Christian ethic—this is called hypocrisy! I warn the Christian who has adopted liberalism--please listen--liberalism is further from the Word of God than the doctrine of Mormonism and Jehovah Witnesses! It is a doctrine of the religion of atheism! A ‘Christian liberal’ is an oxymoron; no different from a Christian Muslim; or a Christian Hindu! Prophetically, liberalism is the philosophy that will facilitate the take-over of the Anti-Christ! May God have mercy! *Which originates in the universal standard of the Judaeo/Christian ethic, i.e. God’s word. **None of which is accurate by the way! ***Which originates in the Bible.

Until recently, America has historically used the Judaeo/Christian ethic to determine good and evil. What happened? In short, the slow creep of liberalism! As a doctrine of atheism, liberalism facilitates atheism*. Therefore, because liberal/atheism has an entirely different system of ethics, by adopting liberalism, America’s idea of good and evil has dramatically shifted.
For example, allow me to give you four quotes by Martin Luther King: 1."How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God." 2.“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. 3.“I still have dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.” 4.“I have a dream that one day …little black boys and girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.” Notice the Judaeo/Christian ethic running through MLK’s statements: 1.All laws possess morality, and morality originates in the Word of God, i.e. Judaeo/Christian ethic(Rom7:12). 2.Just and unjust laws create either justice or injustice. Because this is true, we have a mandate to fight injustice everywhere…beginning in America. Yet Dr King believed, justice could not be defined apart from the Word of God(Deut32:4)! 3.Part of the American dream is justice for all Americans! Yet, America’s call from God is to be a light to the nations!! (Pro14:34;Ps33:12) 4.Blacks and Whites are equal! All human equality--without exception--originates in the image and likeness of God(Gen1:27;Gal3:28;1Cor12:13). Therefore, Dr King used the Judaeo/Christian ethic, which is the ethic for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the ethic of America, as his standard for: morality, laws, justice, injustice, equality, and inequality; which by the way, he used to judge racism in America! On the contrary, atheism uses a totally opposite ethic. For example, Darwinism, one of atheism’s doctrines teaches that mankind evolved, which therefore means it rejects the inherent equality of all men. Confirming this fact, Darwinism also declares mankind exists using the ‘survival of the fittest’ ethic; which is a euphemism for the ‘might makes right’, or the ethic of the animal kingdom! Agreeing with these two doctrines, is yet another atheist doctrine: relativism; which declares every man is right in his own eyes;** which supports yet another atheist doctrine: licentiousness; which means every man is free; free to determine his own good; free to ‘do’ whatever he wants! Free to ‘be’ whatever he feels! What then is Liberal Racism? To be candid—it is complicated! Because liberalism rejects the traditional Judaeo/Christian ethic, it must create its own definition of racism--consistent with its doctrines! In short, atheism’s standard for determining good is ‘the feelings ethic’, i.e.whatever feels good is good. The problem with this ethic is that feelings are different for every human(relativism), therefore when feelings are used as the standard for good and evil, huge areas of hypocrisy follow! Yet…that is the theology, i.e. the logical end of atheism/liberalism! So who is a ‘racist’ to liberals? First, White people are racist! There are many examples, here is one. Recently, in Norman, Oklahoma, a ‘white’ high school teacher simply declared to his class of ‘white’ kids: “to be white is to be racist, period.” How does a ‘white’ teacher conclude ‘ALL WHITE’ people are racist? Five steps: 1.He(a white man) had a personal experience of oppressing minorities; or watched other whites oppress minorities. 2.He read history and discovered that white people in America and Europe oppressed others; 3.Because liberals dominate the megaphones of the culture: media, Hollywood, and academia; the ‘white’ teacher is shown constant visuals of minorities being attacked or oppressed by whites; while simultaneously hearing a continual scream of: “White supremacy”! 4.The media intentionally suppresses any and all contrary evidence (Rom1:18NAS) 5.The liberal interpretation of both the historical and contemporary data creates feelings of guilt; then remorse; followed by a desire to make amends! Hence, coupling his private experience, with the constant barrage of the cultural megaphones —the ‘white’ teacher’s shame of white people is validated! Therefore, to appease his conscience, and walk lock-step with the cultural mandate—he concludes whiteness is racist; which gives him evidence to extrapolate his personal guilt/disgrace upon all white people! On the other hand, because remorse normally moves one to action, he desires a remedy. His honest, sincere self-introspection concludes: “What can I do?” “What can I change?” “How should I handle this?” However, the obvious conclusion presents an enormous dilemma: if it is true that whiteness is racist, the white teacher has an irreconcilable problem—his own whiteness! Because he is a rational human being however, which is especially true of a teacher, he is accustomed to identifying and resolving problems. Yet, this particular time--his whiteness--presents the problem: “How do I something so permanent as my whiteness?!?!” he scratches his head in bewilderment! He must return to the doctrines and values of his religion, i.e. ‘the feelings ethic’, to deal with his guilt and shame. However, even liberalism’s ‘feelings ethic’ cannot deliver him from his impossible scenario! His only recourse is to resort to anger! Yet, to ‘whom’ should he point his anger? Of course, he cannot be angry with minorities because that would establish his own guilt of racism! All that remains is to direct his anger at those who disagree with his original liberal tenet: ‘White people are racist’! According to contemporary liberalism: white supremacy can never change…because of white privilege…which can never change…because of whiteness…which obviously can never change---because it is God-given! Therefore, the injustice of whiteness can exist only through anger! In conclusion, it is obvious to all rational people that this liberal philosophy is completely racist--as defined by the traditional Dictionary—because it uses race, i.e.skin color, to judge superiority! In other words, liberals use racism to accuse of racism! Or said another way, liberalism uses its own racism, to accuse others of racism, to justify its own racism, in order to gain moral superiority! As a sidenote, liberalism normally uses racism as a weapon to discredit, to disenfranchise, to protest, to shut down, to disallow discourse, to destroy—its enemies. Liberalism declares racists should not be allowed to speak; they argue because the words of racists are violent, their words can only be met with violence. Yet, if it is true that all white people are racist, why do not all white liberals--because of their whiteness-- simply shut their own mouths—and shut themselves down; discredit themselves, i.e. destroy themselves! Why does not the white school teacher, I wrote of earlier, discredit himself for his whiteness, and then shut himself down?!? Better yet, why does not the white school teacher protest himself, and then fire himself! But again, this is the logic of Liberal Racism! To be continued… *Atheism is a religion. Besides liberalism, other atheist doctrines include: Darwinism; Communism/Socialism/Fascism; Relativism; Licentiousness (sexual perversion); the re-definition of the separation of church and state. And what’s more, adopting its doctrines, leads to a proliferation of atheism in America. **Judges17:6 QuoteBit Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. --Christian D. Larson The dictionary defines racism as:
Dictionary.com A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. 2.a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 3.hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. Does the Bible agree? The short answer is yes! But we must go deeper for greater understanding! There is ‘NO’ place in the Biblical text where the word “race” is used as it is now defined by anthropology. For example, white people, black people, red people, or brown people; nor by Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid; nor by how www.Census.gov defines race, which literally offers hundreds of different racial designations. I repeat, there is ‘NO’ place in the Bible that divides humans according to skin color!!!! (Selah) This alone should end the controversy, but sadly, God’s word is dishonored in our culture, even by those who call themselves Christians! The closest the Bible comes to contemporary race designations is found in Genesis 9-11, where the Bible differentiates nations--but not by race! Or, one could possibly interpret the Bible’s Jew and Gentiles/Greeks (Rom1:16; Rom2:9,10) designation as racial. Or, the hatred between Jews and Samaritans (Lu10:30-37) as racial. Or, some call Nathanael a racist (Jn1:46). There are still others who call Jesus Black because He had hair like wool (Rev1:14). I have even heard preachers attempt to explain the differences in human skin tones through Noah’s three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Gen6:10; 10:1). In each case however, the Biblical texts in question must be stretched, squeezed, and strained to include a racial component!!! However, because human skin tones do exist--nations are often grouped by skin color--means God created the differing skin tones. In other words, the difference in human skin tone was an intentional act of creation to ultimately accomplish God’s sovereign purposes. Remember, all that exists, exists according to God’s providential plan! Said another way, all of God’s creation has a God-given, God-ordained purpose! Science, which explains ‘how’ God created the differing skin tones, reveals its origin to be the chemical melanin. Whites have less melanin, and Blacks have more; and those in between, have more than Whites, and less than Blacks! It’s that simple! Therefore, all racism is taught, and all racism is stupid!!! Yet, indispensable to understanding Liberal Racism, is that the Bible, designates racism a sin! It is categorized under the sin of elitism. Elitism means to think of ‘self’ more highly than one ought to (Rom12:3). A scriptural example of the sin of elitism is found in James 2:1(NAS): My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. More scriptural examples of the sin of elitism are: Jms2:1,9; Jms2:4; Deut1:17; Lev19:15; Pro24:23-26; Acts10:34; Deut10:17; 2Cor5:16; 1Pet1:17; Jude16; Deut16:19; Deut24:17; 2Chron19:5; Heb11:28; Jn7:24; Rom12:3; Ex28:12-15; Is14:12-15. Therefore, when the sin of racism is kept under its parent category, the sin of elitism, the traditional, dictionary definition of racism applies. However, here is the key: to remove racism from the category of sin--as liberalism does by making it a political issue—removes racism from God’s revelation(Bible) leaving it to be re-defined by man’s opinion! Because all men have sinned (Rom3:23), without God’s word, men discern life through the lens of sin(Lu11:35,36). Tragically, without the light of God’s word(Ps119:130), men call good evil, and evil good(Is5:20); ending with man’s opinion as the final arbiter of his actions!! The consequence of this evil leads man to justify himself (Rom3:19), which practically works itself out in two ways: 1.Minimizing personal sin. “It’s not my fault!”, or “It’s their fault!” 2.Exalting self/group(elitism). “I am better than you!”, or “We are superior to you!” In short, minimizing sin ends with the rejection of the existence of sin! And second, as man increases self/group, he decreases God(Jn3:30)! In other words, he challenges for the very throne of God, Himself (Is14:12-14)! Under the guise of fairness and equality, liberalism promotes confusion and kaos. Adding the charge of racism to liberalism, gives liberalism its moral authority necessary to deceive the masses. As liberalism creates enough confusion in the society, the resulting kaos, will end with anarchy—and the need of some ‘ONE’, or some ‘POWER’ to restore order! With the rejection of the Biblical God(1Sam10:19), who will liberalism choose? May God have mercy!! To be continued… QuoteBit You cannot speak that which you do not know.
