#ThisIncludesCorporateActivism
In light of the past year or so in which corporations and now, since January 20, 2021, the government and the departments thereof, are singling out some groups of people in confusion over equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity, determining some groups to be unworthy of receiving government grants, bailouts, or other assistance which their own tax dollars fund, in which merit and qualification are dismissed in favor of a skin color or an ideology test, in which any crime becomes a hate crime if a white male commits it, I want to be clear on my stance on racism: hatred towards any other human being for any reason goes against God's command to love one another.
Hatred of a person or a people group is the rejection, restriction, and removal from full access or society whether through government policy, mob rule, or corporate practice. Singling out one group for special treatment or for rejection is wrong. Hatred towards any people group, including straight, white males, is wrong and is sin.
God created one race, the human race, and our enemy is not other people, but the devil. Each human being, whether born or unborn, able or disabled, is created in the image of God and is unique and highly valuable equally in God's eyes. He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to save any person, regardless of the category we've put them into, if they would receive the gift of salvation. All human life is precious. Our battles in this life are spiritual, not targeted towards people. There are many different ethnicities, skin colors, and cultures, and race doesn't fit neatly into any one box. People of various skin colors or outward appearance may not share the same culture as others who look like them.
For those who follow Jesus Christ, we will someday be spending eternity with each other, a broad swath of humanity with many differences but one similarity: we follow Christ. God apparently loves variety in that he has created many varieties of the same thing.
All crime and injustice, whether theft, burglary, assault, murder, stalking, adultery, envy, greed, race-baiting to stir up anger and division, cancelling via cancel culture, and in any form hurting someone because of their religion, ideology, skin color, ethnicity, belief, or simply because you think your life is unfair in relation to theirs, is sin and is wrong, and leads to hell if you don't repent of it. Whether you are a corporation, member of the media, government official, leader in the community, or someone online leaving comments, you don't get a free pass on this.
Using activist and hashtags that are applauded by those defining what's acceptable in culture as a way to boast of your virtue and to signal to the group to be left alone because your thinking is in line with the group does not give you a free pass. Being unwilling to think for yourself apart from how those controlling the media telling you how you should view something is also not a free pass. You are responsible for your actions and words. You will answer to God someday, and there will be no excuses for any hatred you've helped spread, no matter how innocent or accepted it was in this life or among your peers. The sins of the fathers is not your responsibility, but instead it's what you've done in this life regarding obedience and treating the people justly when you come into contact with them; your fight to make right someone else's sin which leads to your own is not what God intends.
Hatred, violence, restriction, and subjugation of any people group, including conservatives, white males, and other random groupings of people based on whatever whim is popular today, is always wrong. In the end, God only sees two kinds of people: those saved by Jesus Christ, and those who rejected that gift.
Where are you, in regards to those two groups, today?
