Racism, Xenophobia and Hate

With vicious farm murders, vandalism of historic monuments and xenophobic attacks on
foreigners burned alive in KwaZulu, how should Christians respond? 
Biblical Solutions
Only Biblical Christianity offers a rational basis for opposing racism and for pursuing justice.
Equality before the law is a Biblical principle:“The community is to have the same rules for
you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to
come. You and the alien shall be the same before the Lord. The same laws and
regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.”
Numbers 15:15-16
Creation Leads to Respect for Life
The Biblical doctrine of Creation where people are made in the image of God (Acts 17:26); and
of Redemption undermine racism, affirmative action, xenophobia and hate speech. “Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this
is from God who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting
men’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”
2 Corinthians 5:17-19

Evolutionism Breeds Racism

On the other hand, those who hold to Darwin’s theory of evolution, have no objective basis with
which to counter racism. In fact, Darwinian evolutionism has inspired a whole host of racist
ideologies and movements, especially communism. The actual title of Darwin’s famous
evolutionary book is: “On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.”

Evolution Leads to Revolution

Karl Marx wanted to dedicate Das Kapital to Charles Darwin and wrote “Darwin’s book is very
important and serves me as a basis in the natural sciences for the historical class struggle.”
“
Violence is the midwife
…” as Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin so succinctly put it: “
evolution leads to revolution!”

D

arwin and Marx were Racists

Both Darwin and Marx expressed racist views. It is ironic that so many Russians and Africans
have held Marxist and evolutionary beliefs because Darwin taught that the “advanced races”
should “
exterminate

” the primitive races in order to speed up evolutionary progress!

Karl Marx himself despised the Slavs and Blacks, writing that they were “frozen at
pre-civilisation levels”
and would never make any contribution to history! (Karl Marx – the Racist, 1978; Understanding
The Times, by David Noebel, 1991; Marx and Satan,by  Richard Wurmbrand).

“They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity…” 2 Peter
2:19

Discrimination and Antagonism

The Oxford English Dictionary defines racism as: “…discrimination against or antagonism
towards other races.”

Hypocritical Racists

Yet many who speak out vitriolicity against racism, are themselves racist, displaying intense
antagonism towards people of other races and advocating policies which discriminate on the
basis of race.

Character or Colour?

These are many of the same people who would idolise Martin Luther King (Jnr.), but who are
not willing to live by his maxim that: people should be judged by the content of their character,
not by the colour of their skin.
