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?
