"There is no god in all the earth, but in Israel." (2 Kings 5:15)
"You (children of Israel) are a holy people unto the Lord your God, The Lord has chosen you to be a special people that are upon the face of the earth." (Deuteronomy 7:6)
Some of the sayings attributed to Jesus seem to reflect this attitude. When a non-Jew Samaritan asks him for help he refers to them as dogs. Jesus also stated that he was only sent to the lost sheep of the Children of Israel. Interestingly, the passage where he is supposed to have told his disciples to "go unto the nations" is not to be found in any of the most ancient manuscripts and is now considered spurious.

Furthermore, the concept that Jesus was the acclaimed "Son of God", and so-called "manifestation of God" does have some racist overtones, i.e. that God made flesh was a Jew. Now concerning the Cushite wife of Moses mentioned in Numbers, without trying to dismiss entirely the proposition that "the God of the Bible hates racism", the context seems to be more suggestive that God's anger was for their upsetting Moses than any hatred of racism.

Western powers have been using Bible and religion for controlling and conquering the world. It is said to see millions of brain washed Americans buying the religious politics of the neo-conservatism that if continues will destroy this nation.

Yes, the White American and White Europeans use the bible and Christianity to support slavery and their racist agendas to colonize Africans,Asians and other minorities in the Past but now the minority is the Majority who will put them into check! Jesus is God and the only true God of Israel and he reigns forever more. He doesn't look at race,religion or culture but at mankind righteousness and unrighteousness of the heart.

it's amazing how many ways you can twist the bible into supporting almost any activity. just take a few things out of context, or worse yet misquote it.
