The top of the list and commonly referred to form of racism against "white people," is.......... ding ding ding. Anti-Semitism.
Ok. That should be pretty clear. Yes, many Jewish people have "white skin tone." Some are even 100% white. Some are mainly Ashkinazi Jewish and they get called "fake Jews" because of their European nature. These are conspiracy theories and hold no water in proper judgment.
She very clearly and rightly explains that the "academic world" will NOT fix the entirety of problems and root of anti-semitism. The belief that a college degree, seminary degree, PhD in racism studies, law degrees, medical degrees etc. will eliminate anti-semitism is a lie. No. It is like saying a man needs a college degree before giving his neighbor and/or friend a glass of water. There are no requirements of degree status to eliminate anti-semitism. It is a personal HEART CHANGE. If the degree was a necessary principle, then the conditions which brewed Nazi German standards of "excellence" in judgment of people would have been eliminated immediately. Biblical standards.....vs. academic standards seems to be the heart of the matter. Biblical standards only needs about a 5th to 8th grade education to understand principles presented.
Note: Jewish people can be partly Jewish ancestry or any other level of ancestry. DNA tests only go back 200 years or so.....so a research on heritage could reveal an ancestor of Jewish heritage over 400 years ago.
Other types of racism against "white people"?
1. White skin tone people with minority heritage hidden in their DNA. Perhaps they are 10% or less of a certain heritage minority group and the features do not show up. They may perhaps have immediate family members who have the features and then the family life will prove their heritage. Often these people are put into the same category as 100% white people and understand all things 100% white (socially that is), but their reality is not that. Assuming that the white person can and should meet all white people standards of living and excellence and life despite the minority conditions.
2. A white skin tone person who raised or was closely associated with a minority heritage person. Perhaps a white mother had a black child. The white mother gets labeled with various labels. Maybe another person is married to a person with minority heritage. Another has a close cousin with minority heritage, and they were closely raised with this individual.
3. Patriarchy racism. Basically a father in the home happens to be 100% white. People encourage him to act in "gross manners and behaviours" towards children, elderly, widows, orphans etc. People who encourage the 100% white male to act out in a violent way and against the "sermon on the mt." standards are creating racism against "white people." Note: Many "mad white men" come from fatherless or socially dismantled homes.
4. Denaturing the white person. Creating heavy institutional environments. Eliminating personal privacy and space which allows independent reflection. Essentially, creating a practical slavery environment from which a person of white heritage must survive. Yes, there have been such thing as white-slavery environments. Perhaps encouragement of sexual impurity lifestyles can be listed as a way to commit racism towards white person. The slavery is that which is associated with bondage to sin. Allowing internal "bad behavior" as if there is an invincibility of character in the white skin tone person of any condition.
5. Cult like conditions. A person who is white is put into a horrible religious environment that is controlling and unloving. There is no freedom of thought outside of this group or the standards it presents.
6. Ignoring the historical evils in "white people countries." For example communist Russia produced extreme poverty after its collapse. Middle Eastern countries (like Balkans and areas of Levant) have people who were forced to undergo many evil things. Ignoring these evils and sufferings is a form of racism towards white people. What about Christian persecution in these countries to the point of death. Yes, even religious value persecution and misunderstanding can be a form of racism towards white people (white on white racism).
7. Historical error or purposeful misinformation. Creating documents that make it appear as if the "white man" was always the source of evil and/or power. Examples: 1. Roman pictures which show only white people in roman society, when there were actually multiple skin tones. 2. Evolution pictures which show the man evolving from ape to neanderthal to a black man and then to a white man. 3. Making Jesus into a 100% white man.....even though he lived in Egypt for a time among "brown skin tone" people. Thus he blended in with the culture heritage of the time on up to today.
Essentially creating a FALSE narrative that white skin tone man is and always will be "at the top" creates pride which leads to his own destruction. TRUTH redeems.
8. IQ ability racism. Higher sense to place white man and standards of living in a more academic enlightened environment. Disassociating with the highly intellectual "white man" simply because of his keen academic abilities. Example: Not conversing with a man who went to Princeton simply because of keen academic ability. (Note: Personally I know a man who went to Princeton. He doesn't have other special features of racism, but the condition of not associating with someone by academic ability creates strain on relationship)
9. Calling one's self a minority heritage when the evidence is barely there or is clearly past chronological order. A trace element of heritage doesn't count as a person who historically went through the "boarding school era" or "brown vs. board of education." However, trace amounts of Nigerian heritage could be equivalent to an ancestor that went through slavery during the founding of the USA.
There are more instances, of course. Assumptions and false accusation do not fix "white man." Rather it is change of heart to see the inside of the heart of Christ (a Jewish man who redeems) that will fix these elements of racism. Note to self, just because you were neighbors with someone or worked with a lot of people of this or that heritage, doesn't mean that you fully grasp the heart and pain associated with racism. Think Sermon on the Mt. standards. Family standards come first (ancestry and helping meet personal needs in the home).
some folks just make fun of their own culture and heritage in a way that is completely inoffensive....
Put this video on mute (the characters in this video are Jewish and/or have slight tones on the skin):
Another example:
Play this song in the background.... most racism problems are associated with money....how it is used instead of as a tool to serve others in need.....
Holy Spirit is our guide through all things....
