I consider myself non-racist as a white person. there is alot of racism inthe USA, why is that? Racism is really divided in 2 main groups, prejudice and xenophobia. Both have their base in Ignorance and Fear. Prejudice stems from generational ignorance of what is true and that of innuendo, and falsehoods. Xenophobia is the fear of all things strange and different. That includes Differens skin color, cultures, foods, languages, etc. not commonly found in isolated enviroments. Once distrust is sown it usually is followed by hatred in the long term. When and, a big if, Jesus wil appear as many Chritians believe, it wouldn't be long before he would be lynched as an blasphemer and a fraud. Who among us knows who he is? It is all speculation what he would look like and what he would say would definetly not be acceptable.
We have a distorted view of what Jesus is supposed to be. That's Prejudice. If he came back as a man dressed in arabian garb he would be killed because he is a foreigner. Prejudice and Xenophobia combined.
What a wonderful world!!
