Christian Teachings Concerning Racism

Racial discrimination can be defined by formula bias + power = racial discrimination. Racial discrimination will look like this when racial prejudice harms others. Racial discrimination is a belief that someone's person is better than others because of the color and race of someone's skin. Racism is based solely on human skin color. Racism is destructive, it robs people from their rights by crushing their identity. It damages the cohesion of the community and causes divisions in society. It is contrary to the principle of equality of democracy and the right of fair treatment for all people.

For Christians there is a spiritual side. Racial discrimination is a sin worthy of God's wrath. However, this is a personal crime mainly due to misunderstanding about human inequality. Learning human equality taught in the Bible, learning Christian love and goodwill, or at least limiting, should solve the problem. It is noteworthy that this belief about who caused racial problems is not new, but it has been around for at least a century or more. In 1891, the Alabama Baptist Church said, "Southern Caucasus and southern blacks deserve praise, and if open politicians hold their hand, they will always get along" (Emerson & Smith, 41 ). Emerson and Smith were also accused of lynching, but the general evangelical attitude in the late 19th century ("may be sustainable"), "believe that the problem is mainly in African Americans themselves There is. They are basically weak and educated shortage

Early attempts to incorporate Christian rights into American politics began in 1974, when early exercise leaders Robert Grant established the cause of Christian in the United States to claim Southern California's Christian ideology. Worried that Christians voted in overwhelming majority for President Jimmy Carter in 1976, Grant expanded his campaign and christened the voters of Christ towards socially conservative candidates behind Christ I established the voice of the teachings. Before the alliance with Falwell, Weyrich tried to work with Grant. Grant and other Christian Voice staff soon set up headquarters in Weyrich Heritage Foundation headquarters. However, in 1978 the alliance of Weyrich and Grant collapsed.
