In this season, we’re discussing social issues – problems that are facing our society and what the Bible has to say about these issues.

Racism can take on different forms and exist in various degrees. A milder form of racism may simply mean that one views his own race as superior to other races (or possibly over one race that has been singled out in particular). More extreme forms of racism can include hostility and even violence against others based on their race.

Those who argue in favor of racism will often cite common prejudices or negative stereotypes as the basis for looking down upon a particular race. Personal anecdotes are often used to support racist arguments (a negative experience with one person can be used to portray everyone of that race in the same light). Some will even use the Bible (more accurately, they will misuse it) to argue in favor of racism.

Mentioned in this episode:

• In a 2017 study, 58% of Americans viewed racism as a “big problem in our society.” Breaking down this number, 81% of blacks said racism is a big problem in society today compared to just 52% of whites.
