The Terrible Sin of Racism

 If we are concerned about personal and sexual sin but do not protest against brutal injustice and cruel racism, are we really representing God's moral character as Christians?

Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.

They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance. Mic 2:1–2 NIV

These two bible verses clearly describe the way colonists from Britain and Europe invaded and dispossessed indigenous people in North and South America, Australia and parts of Africa and Asia.

In our lifetime, so many black people have been murdered by the police in the USA.

Until 1969 Australian aboriginal children were abducted from their families and institutionalised.

Countless poor women from the Third World are still being forced into prostitution by lies and deceit in rich countries.

Should we be in favour of revenge and rioting? No.

But when police shoot black people and are not convicted of crime, it is systematic injustice of the worst kind.

No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Mic 6:8 NLT

Many conservative white people want to whitewash, justify or deny these crimes, but God is not impressed.
 
The blood of Abel still cries out. Are we the keepers of our black brothers? Yes, we are.
