I understand your broader point, but is "racism" even an issue we ought care about? Or, perhaps, might we better spend our time condemning murder, rape, and pedophilia? My sense is that our focus is intentionally placed on less harmful sins such as prejudice in order to distract our focus off the truly harmful behaviors.
Why do "black" (show me a black skinned person- or a white-skinned person, for that matter- I've never seen one) "leaders" never speak about the horrible harms being perpetuated on people by other people "who look like them?" Do they care? Doesn't seem so.
Why does Hollywood focus on "racism" but never on the pedophilia and sexual assault that is endemic in that industry? And has been since its beginnings.
And Washington, DC is at least as bad. Likely, far worse.
The "social justice" or "woke" ideology sees the world as a struggle for power. And I agree with that assessment. However, where the ideology goes astray is failing to properly identify those with power. They place the blame on ordinary powerless people based on such foolishness as skin shade or sex. In fact, those with actual power created that ideological foolishness to distract us from identifying the true villains who do possess power.
Regarding the concept of "race," I've asked fellow Christians in church how many "races" the bible speaks to. How many "races" did Adam and Eve birth? How many "races" did Noah and his sons birth? The only possible number (though some fellow church members argued the fact) is one. One.
And, the general public is likely unaware that the scientific community concluded some 15 yrs ago that, genetically, only one "race" exists. At the genetic level, all humans are identical in that they all have the same genes. Yes, genes can code for different hair or eye color, or for different skin shade, but humans are humans, and the concept of "race" is a social construct, not a scientific one.
And, if you examine population studies, given that each person has 2 parents, 4 grandparents, etc., one realizes that every human on the planet is related to every other human if one follows the generations back some hundreds of years.
I think our focus is to walk and chew gum at the same time. Sin is sin, and I will address the issue I deal with here and other issues as I feel drawn to.
As for "race," I've commented numerous times that there is one race and that I am saying "race" in the sense that others use it. I'm certain my position on what I'm talking about is clear. In any case, the answer is, yes, I should comment on various and sundry things.
