We  explored  how  the  sociological  definition  is  not

            supported  biologically  and  certainly  not  supported
            Biblically. The Absolute Truth is we are all one family, of
            the  race  of  Adam.  There  is  only  one  race,  the  human

            race.


            Fact – America is a racist nation:  When one views the
            history  of  the  United  States,  one  is  confronted  with

            centuries  of  slavery,  segregation,  and  systemic  racism.
            Of this fact, there is no doubt. But to solely view America

            in  this  light  paints  an  incomplete  picture  and  thus
            obscures the truth.


            Truth  –  America  is  not  a  racist  nation:  Since  1965,

            America  has  undergone  probably  the  greatest  moral
            evolution in human history. America’s determination to
            correct  itself  morally  has  been  and  continues  to  be,

            relentless and consistent. The truth is, there are a host
            of policies and laws that have been instituted to attack

            and  dismantle  systemic  discrimination  and  racism.  We
            detailed  these  in  Chapter  3.  Today,  civic  leaders,

            politicians,  academics,  and  multitudes  of  other
            concerned  Americans  of  all  skin  colors  and  ethnicities,

            continue  to  pursue  paths  to  achieve  complete
            resolution.    No  society  that  is  inherently  and

            unrepentantly racist can or will do this. So, why does a
            problem yet persist? Clearly, the answer cannot be one
