You're probably wondering what racism has to do with biblical prophecy that concerns the last days preceding the return of Jesus Christ?
Let the apostle Paul explain it through a prophecy he revealed that's contained in the second of two letters he wrote to fellow apostle Timothy nearly 2,000 years ago: "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Part of the increase in wickedness that we've been witnessing in these last days is the increase of racism. And racism is a broad, two-way street that's traveled upon by people of all colors, not just whites as powerful leftists and their media puppets claim.
Racism happens to be one of the most brutal insults that human beings heap upon each other. It's disrespectful, demeaning, dehumanizing and even sacrilegious because it defames a person who's been created in the image of a Holy God.
Recently, America's Marxist media chose to accuse two white men of making highly inflammatory remarks against African-Americans.
The first man was Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy who's become the center of a major controversy because he's refused to remove his cattle from federal land that he allegedly hasn't been paying grazing fees to use. When the ultra-liberal New York Times sent a reporter to interview the rustic, uneducated rancher, the reporter got Bundy to shove his boot deep into his mouth.
Bundy remarked (accurately) that African-Americans have seen their quality of life deteriorate considerably since they decided to hitch their corporate wagon many decades ago to the Democratic Party and its godless policies.
Unfortunately for Bundy, he's a rube who doesn't express himself very eloquently. When he attempted to reason that African-Americans had stronger family values and better morals during the days of slavery and Jim Crow than they do now, he sounded as though he was advocating for a return to slavery. He wasn't but the New York Times succeeded in painting Bundy as a typical racist, redneck hick who hates the federal government.
Then there are the remarks attributed to Donald Sterling, the owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. Sterling allegedly went on a racist tirade a few weeks ago during a conversation he had with a girlfriend when he allegedly excoriated her for promoting her associations with blacks via Instagram.
What seems to have gotten Sterling's ire is the fact that his girlfriend--V. Stiviano--took pictures with Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson. The Lakers and the Clippers are bitter rivals and you can probably understand why Sterling was upset that his girlfriend was publishing pictures of herself with Johnson on the internet.
But is Sterling truly a racist? If he is then he might as well sell his team because very few people will want to work or play for him after his comments were published. And since the majority of NBA players are African-Americans, then Sterling is toast.
Typically, after Sterling's comments were made public, President Barack Obama offered some sanctimonious remarks condemning Sterling: "When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk. That's what happened here."
While Obama said the right thing, he shouldn't be the spokesman for race relations in America. Not only does he employ racists within his own administration (Eric Holder) but he was a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years.
Chicago has thousands of good African-American churches. However, Trinity United wasn't one of them, at least not under the leadership of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an arch-racist and a close friend of fellow racist Louis Farrakhan. Wright promoted Black Liberation Theology, which is the brainchild of James Cone and the first cousin of the incendiary ideology promoted by the Nation of Islam.
And so, if Obama wants to have a discussion about racism, then he can start by explaining why he sat in the pews of a racist congregation for 20 years. Or, why he embraced the radical ideology of Harvard Professor Derrick Bell who espoused the super-racist Critical Race Theory.
Racism comes in all colors. And sadly, it's becoming more prevalent in the prophetic wicked times we're living in. And it doesn't figure to end until Jesus Christ returns.
