My mother was full blooded American Indian; so I am not speaking from the point of view of "The White Man's God"as some would accuse!The progressives have used their WRONG HEADED
definition of Race {On Purpose of Course} to stir up the color issue with their
voter blocks to gain voters....that's right its all about the
VOTE not the people who vote, their just the dupes who
follow like fools and ask "Please sirs, may we have some
more free help?"
If we can REMOVE RACE as defined by the Radicals from the conversation then we are left with real solutions for the future but if we cannot we all lose!
"Race relations" are the area of sociology that studies the social, political, and economic relations between races at all different levels of society.
The whole issue is FUNNY if you slow down and see it!
HISTORY CAN'T BE IGNORED!
This area encompasses the study of racism, and of complex political interactions between members of different groups.
My purpose in writing this is NOT to beat the dead horse of racism but rather to bring to the forefront the true biblical teaching of "The Nations" which is the true idea of who we ALL are before God and man.
It is obvious to anyone with half a brain that this notion that we each come from
different "Races" has not helped to bring us together as Human beings,
WHY IS THAT?
Well the first and most obvious one is that the term has LOST its meaning as people have used it as a derisive tool to separate men from other men just like the term "Sex" has become a separator between men and women when its intent was too bring them together!
You can notice within the meanings of these words for RACE the under towing of what race relations have become. Pay close attention to these meanings as they are not describing "race" as we think of it; different types of human beings (Black, White, Red, Yellow...etc..), rather these meanings describe us as having unattainable solutions to our problems.
We have hate filled differences that cannot be overcome thus these differences will forever divide us. This is the state of Race relations and because we term it RACE instead of NATIONS as the bible does, we're stuck in a limited definition of who we really are as human beings!

The following article says it in a nutshell from a "Nut Job Leftest site"!
These RULES FOR RADICALS form the basis for radical Racism to breed because as long as people deal in skin color rather than the fact we ALL HAVE SKIN AND BONE AND THE SAME HUMAN BLOOD flowing through our veins nothing will or can change....EVER!!
Saul Alinsky and the Lessons He Taught Bill and Hillary and now Obama.

Author: Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky Courtesy the Wanderer

Saul Alinsky wrote two books outlining his organizational principles and strategies:
Reveille for Radicals (1946) and Rules for Radicals (1971).
Rules for Radicals opens with a quote about Lucifer, written by Saul Alinsky:
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom" -- Lucifer.
The Rules Simplified!
RULE #1
RULE #2
RULE #3
RULE #4
RULE #5
RULE #6
In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky says:
Here I propose to present an arrangement of certain facts and general concepts of change, a step toward a science of revolution. He builds on the tactical principles of Machiavelli: The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-not's on how to take it away.
Rules for Radicals is concerned with the acquisition of power:
my aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how ot use it.
This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: ...[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized ... it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes.
Alinsky advises the organizer to target the middle class, rather than the poor:
"Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America's white middle class. That is where the power is."
Alinsky is interested in the middle class solely for its usefulness:
Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class.
They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change, and the power and the people are in the middle class majority.
To accomplish this, Alinsky writes that the organizer must begin to dissect and examine that way of life [the middle class lifestyle] ... He will know that 'square' is no longer to be dismissed as such -- instead his own approach must be 'square' enough to get the action started.
"Here's Liberal progressive (The Lion) getting along with middle class Americans (The Food)"
Rules for Radicals defends belief that
the end justifies the means:
to say that corrupt the ends,writes Alinsky,is to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles ... the practical revolutionary will understand ... [that] in action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent
both with one's individual conscience and the good of mankind.
Altogether, Alinsky provides eleven rules of the ethics of means and ends.
They are morally relativistic:
The practical revolutionary will understand Goethe's 'conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of action'; in action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one's individual conscience and the good of mankind.
The second rule of the ethics of the means and ends is that the judgment of the ethics of means is dependent on the political position of those sitting in judgment.
Alinsky elaborates his meaning on this point, saying that if you were a member of the underground Resistance,.. then you adopted the means of assassination, terror, property destruction, the bombing of tunnels and trains, kidnapping, and the willingness to sacrifice innocent hostages to the end of defeating the Nazi's.
Those who opposed the Nazi's conquerors regarded the Resistance as a secret army of selfless, patriotic idealists ....
" Rules for Radicals is therefore concerned with how to win. " ...In such a conflict, neither protagonist is concerned with any value except victory."
"The third rule of the ethics of means and ends is that in war the ends justifies almost any means."
"There can be no such thing as a successful traitor, for if one succeeds, he becomes a founding father."
Rules for Radicals teaches the organizer that he must give a moral appearance (as opposed to behaving morally):
"All effective action requires the passport of morality."
- What's that behind that "Fake Moral Stand" the Father of Lies?
The tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends states "that you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments ... Moral rationalization is indispensable at all times of action whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means."
Rules for Radicals provides the organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either dominates or is dominated.
"The first rule of power tactics is: power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat."
"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this.
They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
- Look at all those Stupid sheep...Ohhh! I mean Voters!
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule.
Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself."
"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
One of the criteria for picking the target is the target's vulnerability ... the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract."
"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."
Saul Alinsky urged the active and deliberate conscious-raising of people through the technique of popular education. Popular education is a method by which an organizer leads people to a class-based interpretation of their grievances, and to accept the organizer's systemic solutions to address those grievances.
Through the People's Organization these groups [of citizens] discover that what they considered primarily their individual problem is also the problem of others, and furthermore the only hope for solving an issue of titanic proportions is by pooling all their efforts and strengths.
That appreciation and conclusion is an educational process.
Rules for Radicals stresses organizational power-collecting:
The ego of the organizer is stronger and more monumental than the ego of the leader.
The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which a man can reach -- to create, to be a 'great creator', to play God.
Alinsky considered Hillary a terrific organizer and wanted her to become his protege.
She declined. She had bigger fish to fry. She learned her lessons well. She and Bill have employed Alinsky's tactics probably better than anyone else.
If you cannot after reading this garbage from the socialist left see just how RACIST these rules are, you are totally blind to life.
These kind of people have USED US to hate each other to their evil ends! And what do we do?
"Just study the Book, even a pre-historic rodent knows that!"
We as a church bow to the idol of RACE RELATIONS like its the word of almighty God, we need to wake up and truly study in scripture who we once were....ONE WORLD of people who split off at The tower of babel into many NATIONS; not distinctions of colors, not Black, not Whites, not red men or yellow men BUT ONE HUMAN RACE with only self created national differences !
The next question is Can race be Biblically defined?
The term race does not appear in the Bible.
The Bible refers to differing peoples in terms such as family, tribe, people and nation.
It groups people according to familial relationships and then into nationalities.
An example of familial relationship is found in Genesis 10, where the genealogies listed are grouped by family.
It should be noted that nowhere are the sons of Noah associated with race or color.
An important passage on this matter is found in
Genesis 10:5:
"By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations" (Gen. 10:5).
We first need to examine the definition of the word race.
Race is commonly thought of as being three divisions of mankind; the Caucasian, the Mongoloid and the Negroid races.
Webster's New World Dictionary provides the following definition:
RACE:
Any of the major biological divisions of mankind, distinguished by color and texture of hair, color of skin and eyes, stature, bodily proportions, etc: many ethnologists now consider that there are only three primary divisions, the Caucasian (loosely ‘white race ), Negroid (loosely ‘black race ) and Mongoloid (loosely, ‘yellow race ), with various subdivisions: the term has acquired so many unscientific connotations that in this sense it is often replaced in scientific usage by ‘ethnic stock or ‘group .”
"We're all the same under the skin!"
It is interesting to note here that the above definition infers that the term is a loose one and that modern science is replacing it with another definition which is, essentially, that"race is determined by physical characteristics".
Thus the task of defining race is highly subjective and therefore unscientific.
We can thus conclude that race is not clearly definable and is not a good term to use in describing variations among people.
Hate helps NO one, but working for others does!
The question we must answer is this:
Are there separate races of men?The difficulty of classifying man into races has been shown false by simple common sense.
The better term would be varieties of THE HUMAN RACE.
Even evolutionary thinking will conclude that all existing varieties of man are members of the same species.
There are not many species of man on the earth.
Inter-racial marriages are common and children are produced daily with no biological difficulties, this one thing ALONE proves that man is a single RACE called human just as God says in his word.
The prominent anthropologist, Ruth Benedict in her book,
Race: Science and Politics
Stated the peoples of the earth are a single family and have a common origin.
There is NO EVIDENCE that's biblical that race means what men have made it to mean.
"How's that knowledge of Good and Evil workin' out for ya?"
