...That Christians were origionally racist?
The first guy to sing the first version of "Safe in the arms of jesus" also sang racial songs like "Cake Walk in Coontown" and "Old Black Joe"

Not suprised at all. I just love all the people freaking out about your question. Like Rose telling you to "look at the future not the past". Isn't most religion about listening to stories of the past to develope a better future? Oh well.. All the holy rollers want proof the he wrote these songs, because that would be impossible!! but all forget the Spanish inquisition, Crusades, and many other events of torture or murder the catholics, baptists and others have committed. So no way this guy could have written these songs!

You really should listen to that small still voice that tells you right from wrong. I'm sure there were many songs sung about Christians in a derogatory manner also. Look to the future not the past because we can help change tomorrow but can do nothing about yesterday.

Well...since Christianity began in the first century, I highly doubt there were any Jewish musicians singing the songs you listed.

Some Christians were racist. Jesus and his deciples obviously were the first Christians and were by far not racist. Get your facts straight.

Your mind is ugly.
Psa.37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Breaking news ----All Christians were and still are sinners. But thanks be to God we are not only forgiven but are striving to live to please him.
