Bible-Inspired Racism (1 of 3)

The first installment of a three-part video series on how the bible has inspired racism in the centuries since its creation. Part one covers the self-professing Christians who fought slavery and believed in the inferiority of blacks and Jews. Christianity has not ever been about equality.

Wrong on Hitler. I'm not a beliver, but I want to be fair and not lump all religions together. Hitler paid lip service to Christianity in public but privately he hated Christianity because he thought it a religion for weaklings. Hitler actually admired Islam, considering it a religion fit for warriors. Even Wikipedia says this. He worked with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini who raised an army of east European Muslims to wipe out the Jews. Look it up.

@dtoiam What's your source on his view of Christianity? Most people refer to a book called "Hitler's Table Talk", which has a lot of controversy surrounding it. There's good evidence to suggest that the anti-Christian passages are forgeries from a specific translation, not found in the original. Also, so what if he admired Islam? Can a Christian - even a crackpot one - not admire Islam? The woman in "Jesus Camp" admired the way Muslims raised their children to fight for Islam.

@Allina277 Dumbass, this video is not MY views on the subject. I'm quoting from the writings of early Christians who interpreted these verses in a racist manner. It's THEIR views. I'm not telling you what I think it means at all, except that your excuse is a weak one, especially since you don't know the original Hebrew and you're basing your reading off the English text!

Great series. I was disappointed that you did not use 1 Peter 2:18-21 to demonstrate the point that slaves were treated unjustly in antiquity, though.

Christianity has not in-sighted racism but wrong interpretation can insight a racist problems within churches and society. If you look at the video I recently posted on my channel BenDenoon look carefully at the video regarding restoring relationships.

@inphanta Indeed. If he actually watched the other two videos, he'd see that those types make a cameo in part 3.

@1coolguysuper: "So tell me then, quote me one non-white Christian who says that the Bible says one particular race is "cursed" or is inferior." Youtube is littered with Black Hebrew Israelite types who make this very assertion...

[DoctorFJK]

@1coolguysuper Actually there are many black pastors who have attacked Jews in the past, both as a race and a religion. Also Christianity has inspired many black on black conflicts and genocides, most notably Rwanda.

@1coolguysuper lolz "it depends on what you mean by "hispanic"?" why would it matter? Race is imaginary, as we all are just genetic diversions of the same single path if you go back far enough... Not to mention one day none of these imaginary races will exist due to interbreeding and genetic change aka evolution....

@1coolguysuper If you truly believe what you wrote on Mitchell here, I suggest you do a little bit more research. Even Wikipedia, as unreliable as it may be, says otherwise.

@1coolguysuper I apologize for the confusion. I meant people of Spanish or Portugese heritage.
