Racism is New

Of course words are always changing and the ideas behind them shift.  As C. S Lewis pointed out words generally lose their unique descriptive power and degenerate into synonyms of ‘good’ or ‘bad’.  And Owen Barfield points out that the refreshment of language takes place through poetic connections.  But today we have militant abuse of language to gain power.

What now? Favored races?!

There is no ‘reverse racism’. Now for the first time we have racism, before we had stereotyping an Darwin.

Before, most black people were a certain way and so the whole race was viewed that way. In his attempt to put a gloss on atheism Darwin suggested that things turn into other things, and that the previous things were inferior. Hitler and Planned Parenthood thought they would help this process along.

Phase two was the overreaction to Hitler, which was multiculturalism, but we kept the Planned Parenthood part. And people who opposed this were also called racist, but they too were just generalizing.

But this new thing, of hating people for being white, is racism. It is not generalization gone wrong. It is something else. It is another form of Christian heresy. The problem in the world is not sin, it’s whitey. And the solution is not Jesus dying, it’s whitey dying.

What we really need is the Gospel. We are all one race. And we can all find success under King Jesus. Black people didn’t need to evolve as Darwin thought, they just need the Gospel. And they don’t need to be killed in abortions, they need the Gospel. And if you hate white people you need the Gospel. And the white people forgetting all this need the Gospel.
