One Race–Many Ethnic Groups
The growing Socialist/Marxist revival in Western nations does not follow Karl Marx’s original plan.
Marx taught that history is a continuous conflict between the wealthy (the bourgeoisie) and the working class wealth (the proletariat). Twentieth century socialists tried to stir up that narrative in the USA. It didn’t work.
In the 21st century, socialist/Marxists (like New York mayor Zohran Mamdani) are advancing their cause with different “opponents.” They say the struggle is not primarily about economics. It’s about race–whites versus people of color.
That’s a lie.
The human race is the only one on planet earth.
What the Justice Generation Needs to Learn About Race and Slavery
I’m on a break between quarters after grading numerous papers.
One of the final ones was written by an African American pastor who is a great guy. But he made a fatal mistake often found among preachers obtaining degrees. He preached a passionate sermon in his paper (what he already knew) instead of telling me what he learned from a classic book on world missions.
He spent half the paper speaking about racism.
I thanked him for his burden, but had to knock his grade for not following directions. His paper provoked a question:
What does the “justice generation” need to learn about race and slavery?
Racial Triumph in America
Two items dominate the calendar this week in the U.S.
First, the celebration of the civil rights prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King, with a national holiday that bears his name. And second, the partisan impeachment of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
I will deal with impeachment next week when the circus dies down a little. Today I’d like to share some thoughts on race in America.
Dr. Martin Luther King would be pleased–and give God the glory.
“Great things He has done.”
