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.
