What are the different Christian teachings on racism?

AnswerThe Bible teaches firstly that all people on the earth are from the original humans created by God, as outlined in the two perspective accounts in Genesis 1 and 2. Further to this, mankind is also all descended from eight persons who survived the flood of Noah's day, and so we are all genetically similar and related. This fact is borne out well by the facts of modern medicine where a white skinned individual may be a better match for a medical donation of blood or a body part to a black skinned person than another black skinned person and vice versa.

The idea that we are all 'of one blood' was stated specifically by Paul in his sermon on Mars Hill in Athens.

Acts 17:24-26 (King James Version)24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Further to this, it is clear that Jesus died for all the people of the earth, not just one particular nation or race, although it is clear that He was a Jew. Since He died for all and He loves all people then we also ought to do the same. Paul also points out in Galatians, that various barriers which divide people are 'broken down' in Christ, including the barrier of race.

Galatians 3:26-28 (King James Version)26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

What is the meaning of minority complex?

It is not a clearly defined term, and different sources have differing ideas as to what it means. There seems to be at least two main definitions.

It seems that when a group of people is held back long enough, they begin to either doubt themselves or wear a chip on their shoulder. They may believe it and give up, with the thoughts of doubt creating what is fear, and could be partly why we've never had a female or openly gay president, for instance. Or they may resort to labeling and blame, attacking the very people who they perceive as holding them back. So it is a mindset of internalizing the feelings that being a member of a minority engenders.

Or, when the phrase is used for people who are not members of minority groups, it usually means that those people have the perception that the public feels they are not doing enough for minorities. The consequence there is overcompensation. Like if those in charge help minorities in such a way that they harm or punish their own people.

What is racist about a White man eating a banana?

An unconfirmed report claims that an American mayor has promised to ban white police officers from eating bananas after an allegation that it is racist. There is nothing to substantiate the story but it is in line with the "politically correct" local and national governments of America, UK and other Western countries trend of bizarre behavior in the name of equality.

There is nothing racist about a white man eating a banana. There is nothing racist about any man eating any food for that matter. To ban such an activity is nothing more than PC insanity.

There are a few racists who have used bananas to attack black soccer players in the UK. Throwing bananas at the players, suggesting that they should eat "monkey food" is disgusting behavior and one that is punished by courts wherever possible. That behavior is pure racism and should never be condoned.

Similarly, it is conceivable that someone may use bananas as a prop for sexual harassment centered around stereotypes relating to race and genitalia. That behavior is not only racist, but sexist as well, and it should not be condoned either.

The fact that a handful of racist thugs use a banana as a prop does not make the banana guilty and it doesn't make a hungry white policeman guilty either. It is time to work towards eliminating all racism but let us avoid the insanity of banning normal activities by normal people. Racism is about attitude, not about bananas.

What is 'racism of lowered expectations'?

"Racism of lowered expectations" is a new form of racism that is developing in liberal circles as an overreaction to the pushes for equality between Whites and Non-Whites and Imperialists and the Victims of Imperialism. As an indirect outgrowth of the ideas of pluralism has come an acceptance of not only the distinctiveness of people's cultures, but of their legal and political perspectives. This has gone to the point where to avoid appearing culturally insensitive, a nation or its citizens will not openly hold Whites and Non-Whites to the same legal standards or hold them to same expectations in international politics.

For example, some individuals have criticized the way that Serbia and Israel were and are vilified for their human rights abuses relative to the much larger and more pervasive human rights abuses that go on in numerous African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian countries. According to "racism of lowered expectations", the Whites (in Serbia and Israel) are held to a superior standard of behavior than the Non-Whites who "cannot be expected to behave as well". Of course, Non-Whites are just as capable of observing humans rights as Whites are, which is why this expectation is a form of racism.

Can you get expelled from school for being racist?

Forbeing racist, no, for being openly racist, yes. I knew a boy who was expelled from my high school for racist behavior towards a darker skinned girl (she is actually white, but looks Hispanic or some darker ethnicity).
