White Ideology and Nazism

“They [Nazis] attacked liberalism because it seemed to them the principal premise of modern society; everything they dreaded seemed to spring from it: the bourgeois life, Manchesterism [laissez-faire capitalism], materialism, parliament and the parties, the lack of political leadership. Even more, they sensed in liberalism the source of all their inner sufferings. Theirs was a resentment of loneliness; their one desire was for a new faith, a new community of believers, a world with fixed standards and no doubts, a new national religion that would bind all Germans together. All this, liberalism denied. Hence, they hated liberalism, blamed it for making outcasts of them, for uprooting them from their imaginary past, and from their faith." Fritz Stern

Race Is Social Not Biological

Taken from various Anthropology textbooks:


HUMAN VARIATION
“Race” is always a social not a biological
concept
Conventional Classification of “Race” is
pseudoscience.


Hair texture, skin color and facial
characteristics are arbitrary and randomly
selected Skin tone is function of evolutionary
adaptation to climate Race as conventionally used is wrong!


Do Human Subgroups Exist?


The idea of race has historically meant more
than just physical traits. The concept of race is socially constructed, meaning that it is something defined by our society. The American Anthropological Association
(AAA) states that race does not exist as a scientific category. More genetic variation exists within races than between them. An individual’s behaviour and personality are largely conditioned by his or her
culture. The idea of race has been used in the past to justify social, economic, and political inequalities and excuse hatred, cruelty, and violence. Some examples include the Nazi persecution of Jewish people, apartheid in South Africa, and the Ku Klux Klan in
North America. Racial beliefs are considered by the AAA as myths and folk beliefs and have no biological legitimacy (AAA, 1998).


Can We Study Human Variation in a Legitimate Way?


Anthropologists look at human variety and try to understand a specific trait, such as skin colour or blood type, in terms of evolutionary advantage. Blood type is an example of a trait that is easy to measure objectively.
Anthropologists have found that certain blood types are connected to certain parts of the world, but blood type does not correspond to external characteristics. Anthropologists have concluded that race is a cultural myth,
not a biological reality (O’Neill, 2010). In natural selection, traits develop to
help individuals survive and reproduce in a particular environment, but many
traits are the result of a population’s isolation or migration. Many “racial” traits, such as eye colour, probably have no evolutionary advantage at all.

Guns and God

“Guns lack efficacy and are nothing more than idols set up to the bloodthirsty gods of the past. And because we believe Jesus is in control of his world, Christians can be the first—individually and collectively—to destroy all weapons designed to kill other human beings. Such weapons have no place in God’s future (There will be no AK-47 in the New Creation), and as such they have no value in the lives of Christians now." Race, Guns and the Church (by Jeff Cook) ☀

Ferguson, MO - Things Will Get Better

"Don't let one person's hate be your reason for giving up, or losing faith, or even having to do anything other than believe things will get better. I lived in a small Mississippi town as a child during the Civil Rights era. Things got better. I lived through the LA Riots as a person in my 20s post Rodney King. Things got better. I've seen the gruesome crime scene where Matthew Shephard was sacrificed for intolerance. Things got better. I couldn't get health care in my 40s because of a "pre-existing condition" for ten years. Things got better. I hear and read and see hatred and ignorance everywhere, but...? Things WILL get better. The more an ignorant person rants, the more the non-violent majority will consolidate into peace and progress.Things do get better.
