Often a person is accused of racism when he appears to be winning an argument with a Liberal or Progressive. A false accusation is easier to make than a factual argument.

A definition of racism is “hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.” Note that one is not a racist because one does not like particular music or movies or humor, or politics. One is not necessarily a racist because he believes forced bussing to other neighborhoods, affirmative action, welfare, and other demonstrative fiascos are a farce, a fallacy, and a failure.

Of course, everyone knows the term is often used by deceived, always desperate, and usually duplicitous people when they are confronted with the truth. However, racism is real and is common for every race and group in the world and for some to declare that only Whites can be racists is surely a joke. No sane person would take such a position since it can be disproved by watching television or reading a newspaper any day. Racists have their own television shows and racist journalists (of all hues) gather around the talking tables all over the channels.

Unpleasant, unnatural, ubiquitous racism is very real and a plague upon the world but what is the basis for racism?

The Scientific American (April 5, 2011) reported on a study that purports to prove that prejudice comes from our evolutionary past based on a study done on Cayo Santiago known as Monkey Island. Well, I’d rather blame bigotry and racism on monkeys than white men; however, the evolutionists must first support their myth of molecules-to-monkeys-to-men (or goo-to-you) evolution before trying to prove the basis of racism.

They have failed to do this.

Racism is not simply disagreeing with a person of another race or even not liking that person, after all, all groups have some unlikeable people. Can I not dislike someone without hating him or thinking he is inferior to me? If people believe that everyone is created in the image of God and is greatly loved by God, then there are no “inferior races” and can be no racism.

Some races appear to have more specific abilities than others as Asians seen to have a natural ability with math and science or could it be they usually work harder at it? Does the overwhelming preponderance of Blacks in professional sports have anything to do with natural ability? With Blacks comprising about 13% of our population, black athletes account for about 75% of players in the National Basketball Association and more than 70% of professional football players. What is the explanation?

Most of the sprinters who run less than 10 seconds are of West African descent. Moreover, it is known that people of West African descent have ACTN3 protein or “speed gene” that is almost always necessary for top level sprinting. Why don’t Whites have that gene?

Some will conclude that minorities excel in physical activities but fail when mental acumen is required. In 2007, Nobel Prize-winning geneticist James Watson ignited controversy when he suggested that Blacks were less intelligent than Whites. I am not qualified to speak on that subject in depth but Watson is not necessarily a racist because of his scientific conclusions. He might be a racist but it is not supported by his scientific deductions.

But, it does take mental ability to learn the game rules and know the plays so lack of mental ability is not reasonable. Moreover, Derek R. Smart’s Physician Characteristics and Distribution in the US 2014, a publication of the American Medical Association revealed there were more black neurologists (411) and black cardiologists (690) than Blacks playing in the NBA which was 350 in 2012. However, while that is good to know, it does not change the fact that far more Blacks than Whites hold lucrative positions in professional sports.

The numbers tell an incredible story proving that there are few Whites in the NBA according to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. That group reported that the NBA had 81.7% people of color (while being only 13% of our population) during the 2015-2016 season.

Is the huge disproportion in the number of Whites to Blacks in the NBA because of racism or do the minorities work harder at the game? We know it isn’t racism because basketball is a business and the basis of business demands you have the most competent players—whatever race or color. So, if the reason for the few Whites in professional sports is not racism, is it possible it is because some minorities have natural abilities not possessed by most Whites?

If Blacks have a natural ability to be very successful in physical and athletic events is it racist to suggest they have more natural ability to sing and dance?

Is it racist to ask that question?

Theologians of all kinds have taught the Fall of Man as the beginning of all the problems common to all races. Racism is normal, but abhorrent, to the human race. Psychology Today (January 19, 2018) reported that “some evolutionary psychologists” believe that to be true. While most psychologists don’t believe the biblical account, they seem to support the consequences of that account.

The results are about the same: theologians say men are fallen creatures therefore do appalling things but evolutionists and other humanists say men have inherited bad genes therefore do terrible things. Same results but different roots.

Science (Feb. 7, 2012) reports on a study that suggests that prejudice is programmed into our genes and that racism is essentially a holdover from ancient history “when humans lived in tribes and it made sense to view outsiders with hostility and fear.”

We are told that early in man’s history there were groups living in the same area that had to compete for limited resources so they resented other races or groups that posed a threat to their existence. After all, man’s main driving impulse is his will to survive. Evolutionary psychologist, Steven Pinker, has suggested that “chronic raiding and feuding characterize life in a state of nature.”

Some psychologists teach that early man’s genes adapted to protect their future. Of course, the theologians have a much better argument than the psychologists—man is naturally evil and will do evil things, i.e., racial hatred because he is evil. Men are not evil because they do evil things; they do evil things because they are evil. It’s a part of their nature as humans.

This is declaring that people are born defective (not by genes but by inherited sin) therefore there is a need to correct the flawed birth by a second birth. Theologians point to John 3 where Jesus said, “Yet must be born again.” He said that because the normal, first birth is always defective.

Racism, like all undesirable human characteristics, is innate to every person on earth and must be mitigated by biblical teaching such as treating others the way we want to be treated. That would eliminate all racism, all sexual aggression, and all wars.

Modern racism comes from the devotees of evolution—pseudo-scientists and fanatical religious followers of Charles Darwin—an apostate preacher with no scientific education. He failed medical school and ended up in the ministry which was the standard operating procedure for dull or unmotivated middle and upper class English males in the 19th century.

But that’s another column for another day.

The origin of racism goes back to the Garden of Eden when mankind chose to disobey God and that rebellion has been passed to every human heart. That is why redemption is required of everyone.

The following statement used to be seen on almost every business door: “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.” Of course, those days of freedom are gone forever and most Americans think that is good. I don’t. If a person starts a business, works day and night for a few years until he or she is successful, it is not the business of the local, state, or federal government to tell him or her whom they must serve.

Nevertheless, if a Black, Jew, Christian, or Eskimo is refused service why is that such a dastardly crime? After all, there are many other similar businesses where a refused person can go. But no, they were discriminated against and will take a “pound of flesh” out of the discriminator. I maintain that discrimination may be a sin but it sure shouldn’t be a crime. Plus, the anti-discriminators are almost always guilty of massive overkill. Of course, it is bad to not get a job because you are young, Black, Christian, female, or other but then do you really want to work with bigots? And don’t even bigots have a right to run their business the way they choose? They can even run it into the ground!

To tell the truth, everyone discriminates every day and there is biblical support for it. The Jews were special people and were required by God to maintain their special status. God discriminated against every other living man when He chose Abraham to become the progenitor of the Jewish race. Jews were forbidden to marry Gentiles; Gentiles were permitted in the Temple court but not inside the Temple under penalty of death; the High Priest was the only man on earth who could enter the Holy of Holies–once a year. Christ originally came only to the Jews and then offered His message to the world.

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul told the Galatians to discriminate in favor of other Christians in 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” That is one reason I try to patronize Christian businesses. For fast food, Chick-fil-a is my choice even though I am not excited about some of their decisions. I choose to eat there not only because they have good food but because of their professed Christian faith. Same with Hobby Lobby and others. That is discrimination and no authority of earth will change that.

Members of the Masonic Lodge give priority to their fellow masons in business activities and while I do not believe any Christian should be a member of any secret order, the Masons have a right to freely assemble and go through their silly routines and worship any god they choose. They also have the right to patronize the business of a fellow Mason and that is discrimination but what sane person would want to make that a crime? Masons are criticized because they discriminate against women but then don’t they have a right to have an all-male club if they desire? Any male can be a Mason, I suppose, unless he is on the State Sex Offender Registry or the FBI’s Top Ten Wanted list. There is still some freedom left in America.

The most discrimination in America is against Christians but that seems to be “good” or “accepted” discrimination by the leftists. We are often called “fundamentalists” or “fundies” usually considered pejorative terms. Anyone who has spent some time in university classes, especially science classes, has seen the extreme brow-beating, harassing, and bullying of Christians by bigoted professors (soothsayers of science) who are unsure of their immature, unscientific, embarrassing lectures. Such professors should be considered uneducated, unscholarly, and unnecessary. And maybe they should become unemployed! They fall into the same category as flat-earthers, phrenologists, astrologers, and snake handlers!

Dr. Stephen J. Gould called creationists, “kooky,” “yahoos,” and “latter-day antediluvians” and he characterized scientific creationism as “the nonsense term of the century.” However, Steve refused to make those charges in public debate where informed creationists could make him look like a “yahoo.” He declared, “Creationist-bashing is a noble and necessary pursuit these days.” Isaac Asimov showed his hatred and bigotry (proof of hatred and bigotry on the left!) when he wrote that creationists “…are stupid, lying people who are not to be trusted in any way.” Richard Dawkins called us feeble-minded, pathetic, and intellectual cavemen in his book, The Blind Watchmaker. In a Times Literary Supplement, Dawkins called us a “gang of ignorant crackpots.” Obviously, many evolutionists are as mean as a junkyard dog when discussing Christians.

There are numerous examples of discrimination in academia against Christians especially in graduate and post graduate programs. One professor of physics at the University of California waited until he had his Ph.D. before “coming out of the closet” about origins. He declared, “Well, now that I’ve got tenure, that means I can’t be fired for simply believing in recent six-day creation and the world-wide Noahic Flood. If I had been outspoken on the issue before, I doubt I would have obtained tenure….I am convinced there is far more evidence for a recent, six-day creation and a global Flood than there is for an old earth and evolution.”

Then there was the well-publicized case of Forrest Mims, a highly-qualified scientific writer whose employment by Scientific American was “openly denied on the grounds of his creationist views.” But that kind of discrimination is acceptable by the hypocrites on the left.

Dr. Jerry Bergman, author of Slaughter of the Dissidents: The Shocking Truth about Killing the Careers of Darwin Doubters interviewed over 300 scientists and educators with advanced degrees and all admitted to receiving some kind of discrimination because of their biblical beliefs! Bergman estimates that on average about 400 cases of flagrant discrimination occur annually in America, and that the vast majority are not contested in court by the victims because they recognize the impossibility of getting justice.

Another example of flagrant discrimination is that of Dr. Raymond Damadian who invented the MRI diagnostic machine that has saved thousands of lives. Yet, Dr. Damadian was bypassed by the Nobel Prize that was given to two other men who made improvements on his device! Many academics, even some who disagree with Damadian’s Christian views (he was born again in the 1957 Billy Graham Crusade in NYC), maintain that he should have received the prize. If not alone, then at least as one of the three since Nobel rules permit as many as three to be named for a prize. Honest people are asking why he was refused since there would not be an MRI without Damadian!

Famous atheist philosopher Michael Ruse suggested that Damadian might have been denied a Nobel Prize because of his creationist views, saying: “I cringe at the thought that Raymond Damadian was refused his just honor because of his religious beliefs. Having silly ideas [six-day creationism] in one field is no good reason to deny merit for great ideas in another field. Apart from the fact that this time the Creation Scientists will think that there is good reason to think that they are the objects of unfair treatment at the hands of the scientific community.”

Obviously many people experience discrimination so chill out, lighten up, don’t be so sensitive, stop whining; a little discrimination won’t hurt you and if it does, you’ll get over it.

After all, you didn’t invent the most important diagnostic medical device with the glory going to subordinates because you believe in true science and the Bible.

Bigots are as easy to find in science, academia, and the media as a bowling ball in a bathtub.
