I appreciate the history lesson, and yet, as I have stated on this page before, I disagree with the semantic term “racism.”
The devil has a way of twisting words. Is money the root of all evil? Not according to the Book.
The original statement is “The love of money is the root of many evils.” We all use money; that does not make it, or us, evil.
Again, the Book: “What race deserves respect? The human race. What race deserves contempt? The human race.” Clearly the Bible states that we are all one race. So why let the devil define the terms of our outer differences?
Could someone, and everyone, come up with a new term for bigotry?
Please don’t allow the enemy of mankind to define, divide, and conquer, by tacitly conceding that there are different “races” based on melatonin levels.
