How Christianity indoctrinated me in anti-racism

[idiom]

I was one of them Pentecostal missionary teens in the 90's. All my culture was Christian culture. A fair chunk of it was virulently anti-racist too. I provide a smattering of it in case you too have been infected with the myth that all people are created equal, and that God requires repentance and the corrections of wrongs before sacrifice and communion, and wish to reminisce.













Golden age.

Trigger Warning for supporting miscegenation



Trigger Warning for Diverse Casting



Trigger Warning for use of excessive Sign Language in a Christian song



Trigger warning for entire 30 minute episodes about actively confronting racism



This one actually got updated to include brown children. The imagery is probably problematic, so look away if stereotypical cartoons bother you.



Imagine thinking Jesus died for Asian kids, they can't even read the words of Jesus which he spoke in American.

Jesus spoke in all languages (tongues). The reason God changed the languages was when people thought they could save themselves with the tower of Babel.

Genesis 11:1-9
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Imagine reading my whole post and concluding I didn't know the story of Babel.
