This Is my Philosophy. I don't ascribe to notions of race because race was created by what we now call racists. By bigots. I can't say exactly when I started suspecting that this is Truth, but a trip to Philadelphia's Franklin Institute - a science museum - to explore an exhibit on culture convinced me of this. An author featured in that exhibit said exactly that: that race isn't real.
And boy, have I gotten pushback on that idea. Sorry, not an idea - rather, Truth.
Henry is exactly right. And it's rather ironic. You see, cultural and ethic bigotry was created out of a perversion of scripture. Yet, scripture explicitly states that we all sin and fall short of the glory. We were created to be a little less than angels, but we don't even come close to such lofty aspirations.
It is absolutely within us to create a utopia on this Earth, but we have fallen so far from Grace I can barely conceive of such a thing happening in my lifetime. To add to this great sin, many of us now think we can do it without God. Or upon a perverted, unfounded notion of God.
... so yes, celebrate cultural and ethnic differences. Those differences weave a tapestry of potential and Glory, founded in God. Those differences do not justify inferiority or superiority but rather a complimentary unity.
The great problem of our times is godlessness. It's as simple and as tragic as that.
Be color blinded but culturally minded.
