SBC President's pronouncement on 'Black Lives Matter' slogan

[Particular]

I asked you what your definition of racism is - (unless I missed it) you have not answered my question.

So enlighten us - what is true racism.

Racism is a system that gives one race privileges over another race and therefore exacts injustice upon a person based solely upon the color of ones skin.
Apartheid is a perfect example of racism. Jim Crowe is another. Red lining is another. Stopping a black man just because he's black is another.
Racism has been the system in the United States since its founding. It finds its way into many areas of our society.
A friend of mine is a black woman. She and her husband were providing foster care for a white adolescent. When the child got sick, she brought him in to the clinic. The receptionist accused her of trying to scam the system and demanded many extra documents from her that she did not demand from a white woman who also was bringing in a sick child. These little things happen everyday to black men and women, even though they are Godly people. That's racism...and we have to deal with it in the USA instead of scoffing at it and denying it exists...like many here are doing.

Several things you mention are based on fact -
However, I believe you left out one very important point.
Racism includes that a person discriminates because he feels that one race is superior to another.

Mr. Webster states the Racism definition is - "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race." (bold - my emphasis)

No race is privileged over another in this country. To say there is is a lie.

Would you say that Affirmative Action gives a person of a certain Race or gender a privilege over another.

I'm waiting too.

He did in Post 121

Indeed, he did.
I believe, like the phrase black lives matter, people are using different definitions and therefore struggling to understand. Particular, by his definition, is not incorrect. I will leave it there as obviously this is a trigger that has resulted in accusation. I would like to see the Baptist Board Administration make a statement to help delineate their own stance.

You truly have no clue what racism is, do you.

So you are saying that the murder case in Democrat Minneapolis Democrat Minnesota is racism where there was an arrest and charges is racism?

 

[Katarina Von Bora]

You truly have no clue what racism is, do you.

More baseless accusations and verbal assaults. This is sinful behavior. You can't know his thoughts or his heart. Your actions do not comport with:

James 1:26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

and

Romans 14:12-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way.
