The centuries of brazen bigotry, discriminatory acts and oppressions of systemic racism by guilty whites professed to be Christians does not grant blacks or other hues as objects the right to do the same.1 Indeed, their bad example should have served to warn any seeking to live out biblically conservative Christianity not to go there since God’s displeasure would and has taken many tangible forms. Nevertheless, as I also note in my book, The Scourge Of Racism, a number of blacks and other minorities professed to be Christians have not paid heed and have become embittered racists with guilty whites; participating in what is truly an American Church failure on the issue of racism.2
The reaction of anger leading to bitterness is an optional response to racism by its objects. I have written about God’s righteous anger and testified about my own at the unrighteousness and injustice of bigotry, discriminatory acts and oppressions spawned by racism.3 However, God as God makes “a path for His anger” in judgment and holy wrath (Psalm 78:43-51, NKJV)4 while unless we dispose of ours appropriately, it festers and morphs into bitterness that works evil, self-harm and finally destruction in us (Job 5:2a; Ephesians 4:26-27, 31; James 1:19-20). And from where does being an embittered black or other minority racist spring but bitterness as an entitled victim?
Though being an embittered racist as one that has been harmed by racists is to be expected from among those who do not know God in relationship, such an outcome is not to be the case for those of us who know Him. In the first place, while we may become temporarily angered by whatever mental, emotional or even physical injury we may suffer from a racist, we entrust ourselves to God the righteous Judge as our Lord Jesus taught and set the example (Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 23:33-34; 1 Peter 2:21-23). I will be the first to confess the teaching and example of the Lord as biblically conservative Christianity is far beyond my grasp in the natural. Nevertheless, God has not called us to do Christianity in the flesh, but the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:1-5, 4:18-20)!5
In the important second place, though we suffer injury from others often without direct cause in this sinful, fallen world, we know God does not see any of us sinners as innocent victims. None of us has received what we justly deserve for our sins which is instant death! This should birth humility in us at God’s mercy as it did godly men of old (Psalm 51:1-17; Micah 7:5-10). Are you being taught these truths in the church you attend? No, not if it is far from objectively reading, interpreting and applying God’s Word as it is written and conserving biblical Christianity from its beginning (Jude 3). To be clear, a black racist will suffer the same end as one that is white since God who judges shows no partiality (1 Peter 1:17).6 Depart from a church that facilitates rather than repudiates racism!

5 Here is why biblically conservative black men as aspiring strong men of God in the image of Jesus Christ are so desperately needed and can help at this hour. They display and can faithfully teach other men about the enabling power of God in the Spirit to please Him and do His will as I write about in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics.

It is the arrogant pride of rank racists who like Adolf Hitler of Germany, believe it is a manifest destiny born of superiority that Western Europeans and their scattered progeny have been dominant in the world for just over the last five centuries. As He leads me to assert otherwise in my book, The Scourge Of Racism, the God of the Bible in sovereignty controls the movements, habitations and dominions of ethnic nations to this very hour.1 No ethnic group has risen or rises to prominence in any sphere apart from His purposes and permissive will. This being so, the global dominance of Western Europeans and their descendants until now, has been of God and should inspire humility!
The record of nations in the Bible objectively read, interpreted and applied begins with the sons of Noah after the global flood and God’s command, ‘“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth,’” (Genesis 9:1, 7, 18-19, NKJV). In Genesis 10 his youngest, Japheth, is presented first, then middle son, Ham, and finally firstborn, Shem; the birth order and names of their respective sons follow. Ham’s son, Cush, begot Nimrod the first named empire builder “on the earth” with “the beginning of His kingdom” being “Babel” and other cities “in the land of Shinar;” beyond it as well, building Nineveh in Assyria (Genesis 10:2-12, NKJV). There is general consensus Nimrod as Cush was racially black.2
Here is the point I make in The Scourge Of Racism: God in His sovereignty has granted global or at least hemispheric prominence and dominance to various descendants of the sons of Noah beginning with black Nimrod down through the centuries as He has willed. It has had nothing to do with the superiority of race, but the sovereign election of God in accord with His purposes!3 So then, all of the rest of Ham’s sons had geographical dominions (Genesis 10:13-20) as did the sons of Shem who was part of the godly line from Adam elected by God to be the progenitors of the greatest King ever; even His Jewish Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 10:21-32; Luke 3:23-38)!
Despite their population growth at the time as well as present and future dominions, Nimrod and company ran into a major problem with God. With their single language and culture, they sought to build a city and worship platform to reach into “the heavens” as part of a plan to allow them to remain together in one place as a single people. God was having none of that and came “down” to “confuse their language.” Not being able to understand each other, the people left off building the city and “the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth.” Rebellion against God and idolatry has characterized the Gentile nations from that time until now (Genesis 11:1-9, NKJV).
Only God in sovereignty knows exactly why He has allowed the ascendancy of Western Europeans to global dominance in these last days. Even so, given the disdain He has for the proud who walk in pride and arrogance written in His Word, it surely was not so men puffed up could exalt themselves before Him or boast in any measure for He ‘“resists’” all who do (1 Samuel 2:1-3; Proverbs 8:13, 16:18-19; James 4:6, 13-17; 1 Peter 5:5, NKJV)! Indeed, history is replete with God taking down arrogant, proud rulers and their kingdoms after first allowing them for His purposes to mistreat and oppress His people, Israel. Pharaoh of Egypt was first (Exodus 10:1-7, 15:1-19).
Pharaoh and his kingdom was followed later by God’s take down of the proud rulers of surrounding nations that had oppressed Israel in the land with His permission during the period of the Judges (1 Samuel 12:6-11). Then came Israel’s kings when God did the same thing among nearby rulers and nations along with those far off such as Nimrod’s legacies Assyria and great Babylon as foretold by the Lord’s prophets (Isaiah 10:5-19; Jeremiah 25:1-29). Truly, if God uses any nation or kingdom to punish others, you can be sure they will be punished too! His holy prophets also foretell the world will see Him take down all of the kingdoms of proud men in “the day of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:10-22, 13:6-13; Jeremiah 25:30-33; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Revelation 6:12-17, 11:15-18, NKJV).4
In light of all the foregoing, not racial supremacy birthed of arrogant pride, but humility should characterize the hearts of the descendants of the Western Europeans who founded America.5 For with proper humility global prominence and dominance is understood as a serious stewardship responsibility from God to which He holds men accountable.6 To have been globally known as the arrogant oppressors of non-whites does not commend the guilty to the Lord who judges. Realizing this, guilty especially professed Christians must repent as Samuel the prophet also challenged Israel that sinned against the Lord to do (1 Samuel 6:7-7:6).7 Otherwise, without repentance those who exult in the arrogant pride of racial supremacy following Satan are in grave peril of divine take down.8
