On Racism

-- Trump is loved because he does not care what people accuse him of.
-- By disposing of this one word (racism) we could liberate ourselves.
-- Being "anti-racist" is a tradition of the elders (so is the prohibition against antisemitism).
-- Jesus Christ hated man-made traditions that are elevated over God's word.

1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”

3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.

Matthew 15:1-9
