If you search the Bible for the word “racism,” you won’t find it anywhere. Why? Because the idea of “race" didn’t exist when the books of the Bible were being written. But through the Bible God still teaches us about some of the main issues behind the word "racism," like how we treat one another and how we respond to the "ways of the world."

From Amos:
Hear this, you who trample on the needy and destroy
the poor of the land, saying,
“When will the new moon
be over so that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath
so that we may offer wheat for sale,
make the ephah smaller, enlarge the shekel,
and deceive with false balances,
in order to buy the needy for silver
and the helpless for sandals,
and sell garbage as grain?”
The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
Surely I will never forget what they have done.” (Amos 8:4ff, CEB)
excellent breakdown, thank you.
EXCELLENT . . . COVERED SO MANY OF THE DEEP ROOTED KEY POINTS THAT MANIFEST AS SYSTEMIC RACISM. THANK YOU!
Great! Thank you
Great analysis
It is absolutely criminal that this video has so few views. We can all figure out why. We remember Levittown NY and PA.
This is so similar to what's happened in South Africa where I live. If one notices the effects it can be reasonable deduced that systemic racism has been practised on the Aborigines of Australia and Maori of New Zealand..also Native American Indians...and still today the victims are blamed.
On a broader scale, this has been done to Africa and other undeveloped nations, where privileges are given to Western countries and the rules are made to benefit the West.
