"These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment." Prov 24:23where are the verses that say this?
Well said. God is not racist and has family from all races and walks of life.Where is the "still small voice" within that we cannot know without any Bible verse that racism is wrong? Do Christians need a Bible verse to know what is good or evil? The Bible is nice to have, but it is unnecessary. The law is written upon our hearts. In the case of racism, do not seek for the answer in the Bible - seek the answer within. If you cannot find the answer within, then you will distort anything written in the Bible to fit your preconceived notions about racism.
That should say "The Bible does not condone racism -- whether white, black, brown, red, or yellow".The Bible Does Not Condone Racism

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ." (Gal. 3:28). Whom do we identify with? Do we consider ourselves to be citizens of Earth? Are we Americans first and Christians as an after thought? Do we identify with our 'whiteness'? Is it more significant that we are male or Christian? All of these divisions are true of our former life without Christ. I am not an Earthling; I am a citizen of Heaven. I am not an American, I merely reside in the country that is today called America. I am not a white man, I am a new birth with no racial identification. I am not even a man, but I was merely selected by God to be placed in a male body. Do not consider yourself male or female, but you are now "one" in Christ. In our flesh we were "formerly gentiles", but now we are "one in place of the two", "killing the dividing wall of hostility" (Eph. 2:11-20).
I cannot hold such an immoral view. The prostitute should be flailed? The tax collector should be tarred and feathered? The queers should be shunned like lepers? Any modern Christian who divides themselves from such people are not following the narrow way! There is no 'us vs. them' in Christ. Only those who preach a false gospel teach that divisions in Christ are godly.
I thought all of us were humans...children of Adam....all of the same race. Are there other races? nahhhhWhat people need to understand is that racism and the race card is being used by the enemies of America to destroy it from within. And it is now black racism which has come to the fore, but it is not being condemned.
