Make no mistake, the way popular secular culture views
the so-called race concept and racism is deficient.
Secular solutions will always tend to restore one group
while unfairly and over-zealously taking from another.
– Racism Defined
Let us briefly pause and take a look at a secular
definition of racism. Racism is a belief that race is the
primary determinant for human traits and capacities,
and that racial differences produce an inherent
superiority of a particular race. It is based on the
assumption that differences in race are a fact. It can be
a political or social system of discriminatory or
prejudicial polices and acts that are founded on the
55
acceptance of the existence of different human races.
Notice that this definition and others are hinged to the
discredited sociological definition of race that we
addressed in Chapter 1. Note that the secular concept
of racism, like its concept of race, is void of any
spiritual underpinnings. It emphasizes the political and
social arenas thus, inferring political and social
programs are sufficient to resolve the issue. So, while
it is a fact that racism exist, is our perception of it
accurate? Is it truth?
