Controlled meaning:
Discrimination against people of other races. Hatred of races different from
you. The belief that your race is superior to other races. Prejudice
against inter-racial marriage.
True meaning:
Belief that people differ significantly and systematically, in ability,
temperment, and apitutde due to racial variation. In the biblical sense, it
means that God created the different races each with their own particular
characteristics making each race unique.
Thirty years ago the word "racism" was not listed in dictionaries. Awarness
of race was taken for granted. It was not an issue. The media and certain
people with political agendas have created the concept, hyped it, and made it
an issue in the last 3 decades.
"Racism" (not to be confused with "xenophobia":fear and/or hatred of people
different from yourself) does not imply hatred, superiority. or
prejudice...except in the sense that truth prejudices you against error.
God created the major races. He created them different from one another and
it is folly to ignore those differences. It is evil to decieve others by
teaching them to ignore differences in race or gender.
All biblical patterns and examples show that we should marry among our own
people. Inter-racial breeding undermines the races of both sides. This, up
until a few decades ago, was known as "racial suicide."
