A VICE CALLED RACISM
Racism is primitive and devilish
This is one shameful, despicable and obnoxious ideological phenomenon that surprisingly still rears its ugly head in many parts of the world and in various strata of human endeavor. It is the wicked and stereotyped prejudiced belief that some races are superior to others in terms of ideologies, resources, attitude, power, technological advancement and so on. It is a primitive, crude, immoral, outrageous, devilish, sickening and unreasonable principles, perception and irrationality of some people who dwell in darkness in the midst of light. It entails the uncivilized and ill-mannered backing of political, social and moral importance to a particular lineage. I just can’t understand how the color of a person’s skin would affect his/her intellect or capability. There is no soul on earth that had a choice as to what race, family or religion he/she is born into. Racism is a terrible atrocity. People achieve astounding exploits in life not because of the race they belong to but because of their individual effort, determination and development. Bill Gates did not become the wealthiest man on earth for several consecutive years because he has a white skin. Nelson Mandela and Dr. Martin Luther King are one of the most esteemed legends of our generation not because of the color of their skin. God in His infinite wisdom created man (man in generic terms), black, white and colored. Racism is an insult to the ingenuity of the Almighty omniscient God. The United States of America for instance, is one great country that God has richly blessed. It is a country of all races, a country that aptly fights to protect freedom and human rights. Howbeit, racism is very high in the US. This contradicts her ideological support for freedom. There are lots of genius’ for instance who are in the sports and entertainment arena and who hail from all races: whites, blacks and colored people. Bob Marley, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, Michael Jordan, Mohammed Ali, Michael Jackson and many more. The color of their skin had no bearing on their achievements. Racism is born out of hatred and self deceit and is predominantly among lowly people of sparse intellect. It is an evil absurdity and an irrational way of living. Racism and slavery in my opinion are two faces of the same coin. As a matter of fact, every racist needs psychological therapy and spiritual deliverance from demonic possession. Racism is an infringement on the fundamental human rights of others. It often involves racial segregation in schools, churches, hospitals and the like. In addition, it also engrosses the violation of the voting rights of other races, institutional discrimination as well as terrorism. Furthermore, it entails the preference, exclusion, restriction or peculiarity of persons based on their race, color or ethnic origin. It is a system of oppression, intimidation and racial inequality. Anyone who practices racism is called a racist. Racism provides all racists first class tickets to hell as they are indisputably haters of God. There are so many racist cults and organizations all over the world most of which propagate murderous and violent ideologies and acts of wickedness e.g. the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Racism is expressed through hate slurs and/or speeches. I have heard white racist call Africans "Jungle Monkeys" and "Chimpanzees". How can someone call God’s creation such terrible names? Some Negroes also refer to white skinned people as "City Pigs". God’s perfect handiwork "City Pigs"?Any employer of labor who refuses to hire qualified persons or who purposely dolls out more wearisome work to persons of a particular race or those who refuse to promote their employees because of their race or color should relentlessly be ashamed of them selves because racial bias is a demonstration of stark ignorance.
Have you ever heard of apartheid of South Africa where a minority white treacherously dominated, oppressed and annihilated many among the majority blacks in that African nation for many years? How about the word anti-Semitism which is racial discrimination targeted against the Jewish people? Adolph Hitler, one of the most monstrous anti-Semitist that ever lived, has the blood of millions of Jews hanging over his soul crying for justice.
Genocide, same race discrimination, racial nepotism, apartied, and the rest, are all condemnable acts of darkness. It is a fact that racism is more predominant among the whites but even blacks and colored people have unfortunately joined the band wagon of racial discrimination and hate. Some Negroes forbid and disown members of their families who marry whites. Some white churches do not accommodate black skinned people.
Soccer is one sport that tends to unit the world but racism has become a major deterrent. FIFA, the world’s soccer governing organization embarked on anti-racial campaigns throughout the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany. Players were seen lined up before opening matches holding banners with inscriptions against racism, while the captains of various contending teams were made to read out anti-racial messages prior to every match. In spite of all these effort by FIFA, the evil and animalistic racial insults and vicious taunts did not abate. Monkey sounds and racial slurs were targeted at black players. How pathetic and deplorable. Racism kills the spirit and flavor of sports. Severe penalties should be meted out on anyone who utters racial slurs. This evil atrocity must be outlawed and defeated worldwide. It can lead to grave hostility and destruction of lives and properties because it is provocative and devilish. Say no to hate and ridicule against blacks, whites, colored people, Arabs and Moslems, etc. It is not every Arab or Moslem that is a terrorist. The racial prejudice against Arab and/or Moslem Americans is so thick you can allegorically cut it with a knife. Hate crimes are provoked by racial and religious discrimination. Fight against racism today: it is primitive and devilish.
