I will state right up front that I don't know what it's like to be black in America.
I believe I have an idea of where this kind of extremist thinking comes from. White people in Western society have caused a lot of grief to people of other races. The European settlers stole the land from the American Indians and destroyed their society. They enslaved the African people.
Generations later, there are still pervasive racial issues that desperately need to be addressed. Some of what this man says makes a lot of sense, but then he drowns out the sensible parts of his argument with hateful rhetoric. I can't bring myself to believe that hate can ever be the answer.
I am not a Biblical literalist by any means. However, I feel that he is taking certain passages from the bible and using them to suit his belief system. The Bible can be interpreted a million different ways. It can be used to promote peace or spread hate.
Why would a creator deity make a variety of races and then hate certain of those races? That makes no sense to me. Why would you hate what you have created?
The actions of certain white people in the past created this climate of hate. However, responding with more hate can't be the answer.
Extremism is never the answer.
