With risk of sounding like a libtard/commie..But just a curious question from a humble clueless European:
I don't care about people looks (women aside), i only care about peoples actions and morals. If they are a patriot who lives up to western values and culture and the love of all mighty god.
But in America it seems race has a very important role in your society.How you see each other, it seems as you guys always have a need to distant yourself from each other in that sense. (Its not about hate or so, its just that everyone seems so fixated about race its ridiculous)
Why is there a "black community"? "Asian-american community" "White community?" "Latinos"..For people in Europe we mostly would see you all as Americans. I do understand the fact that most of the immigrants to the new world was white Europeans so in that sense it is a "white nation" historically so that i respect in regards to identity and history i also think its fair to see it that way.
But today it just seems so weird to say and not sound racist no matter what race you are? And don't get me wrong, almost every American i've met in the US were LOVELY! Only great encounters, we meet a white cop in the middle of no where in Texas who stopped our car because i made a wrong turn, he was the typical "hillbilly cop "you see in movies but he was just cool against us, and he didn't give us a ticket because we where tourists and wished us a pleasant journey, best cop i ever met. And as i said, i'm black myself. So yea, it has nothing to do with that, its just how you talk about each other no matter if it is a positive sense or not.
Me and my friend from Sweden visited the US some years ago, and we did laugh about that fact that we rarely saw a black and a white walk side by side on the street. We did and people assumed we were cops (LOL) xD.
All sides are doing it. I mean, its strange to hear black people talk about racism when the majority of blacks are racist in my opinion, and i'm black myself but not American. I would dare to say that these days black people are more racist against others as towards themselves then any other group..But still everyone,no matter what "group" you think you are is always focusing on race..How will America ever be a united country if the race bating is such a normal part of your culture? I hear all sides speak like this and always has.
Your military don't seem to think like this? But the civilians this is a huge part in how you look at each other. Enforced by the democrats of course but still..
Any ideas?
Jesus is the only identity worth having. The Holy Spirit gave you that one, sibling. Praise the LORD and God bless you in Jesus name. Amen.
Even Jesus Christ distinguished between Jew and Gentile.
You're right He did. However as Paul wrote in the Epistles in the Holy Spirit:
Romans 11(*v.11)
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
God bless you in Jesus name, friend. Amen
Indeed
