The Cure For Racism
Why am I hearing crickets chirping?
Live Free, Die Hard
I’m sure that most sane people would recognize that electing a black president only proves that we can elect a black president. That’s it. Though we’ve come a long way from where we were in the 60s, racism doesn’t magically disappear overnight. Quite the contrary. As the mantra of ‘change’ and ‘we can overcome’ rang from the Obama pulpit everywhere he went, dissenters erupted across the country at the news he had been elected.
Race crimes were perpetrated across America. FOX News reports:
Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her 9-year-old daughter the day after the election: “I hope Obama gets assassinated.” That night, someone trashed her sister-in-law’s front lawn, mangled the Obama lawn signs, and left two pizza boxes filled with human feces outside the front door, Millner said.
Four North Carolina State University students admitted writing anti-Obama comments in a tunnel designated for free speech expression, including one that said: “Let’s shoot that (N-word) in the head.” Obama has received more threats than any other president-elect, authorities say.
At Standish, Maine, a sign inside the Oak Hill General Store read: “Osama Obama Shotgun Pool.” Customers could sign up to bet $1 on a date when Obama would be killed. “Stabbing, shooting, roadside bombs, they all count,” the sign said. At the bottom of the marker board was written “Let’s hope someone wins.”
Black figures were hanged by nooses from trees on Mount Desert Island, Maine, the Bangor Daily News reported. The president of Baylor University in Waco, Texas said a rope found hanging from a campus tree was apparently an abandoned swing and not a noose.A black teenager in New York City said he was attacked with a bat on election night by four white men who shouted ‘Obama.’
Obama Has NOTHING On Jesus
The night Obama was elected, I had friends from my church tell me that black people were singing spiritual songs but replacing Jesus with Obama. Blasphemy of the highest order.
What I know for sure is that people will begin to see what Obama is really about if he makes it to inauguration. From the way people are acting around this country, the fear of many blacks is that he’ll be assassinated as was mentioned by that lovely young gentlemen in Georgia. That kind of loutish and evil sentiment would prove one thing for sure: Obama is not Jesus because I’d bet my life he won’t resurrect from the dead any time soon. He still needs to heal some blind folks and walk on water before that happens.
The Cure
The cure for racism is simple: the heart has to change. Jesus Christ has been changing hearts since the beginning of time and the Bible is no stranger to the sin of racism.
The Pharaoh instituted infanticide because of it (Exodus 1:16 -17). Moses faced it from his own family who used it as a cover for envy (Numbers 12:1). The apostle Peter engaged in it to protect his reputation with the Jewish leaders (Galatians 2:12). And our Lord faced it simply because he dare fraternize with another race (Luke 9:53).
Our example is Christ (Ephesians 5:1) who makes it plain that He’s not in the business of favoritism (Colossians 3:25). He has a problem with sin, not race (Ezekiel 18:4, Romans 1:18). The parable of the good Samaritan is the example of love that Christ wants us to have towards others, regardless of their race (Leviticus 19:18, Luke 10:30-37).
These people perpetrating these hateful acts across the nation are acting out of fear. But we have the cure for that for perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). So as they hate, we love. Easier said than done? Most definitely. Only through the power of the Holy Spirit can we accomplish it (Zechariah 4:6). But if we submit to the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, His way, His Truth, and His commandments, then we shall overcome
For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4).
