What about the people who had already discriminated towards cultures in the past. For example, where do you think Hitler ended up? Can you specifically quote scriptures that does/does not support racism. How does God feel about people who are racist and what do you think about the ones who are? I am shocked and appalled by what other people on YA! think about certain races. What makes you think that African-Americans are all bad-especially black women? Why do you think black women deserve to be disrespected and what does God think about black people? Why is it so hard for people to understand black women work just as hard and probably harder to get what they need in society? Tell me what you think and no offensive answers, please!

YA, don't get offended either. I'm just wanting to understand some things!

To answer the first question I think anyone who wants forgiveness once they enter the heavenly gates, will recieve it. God forgives all who want it.

Hitler never had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So, he isn't with the LORD today.
People who are born of God, through heart faith & confession in God, & the will of God; aren't racists anymore. The old man is dead & the new man alive in Christ.
Hitler was a racist & an antichrist. I don't have any respect for him. I love African Americans, the same as Asian, or some other nationality, including American. I know some who are strong women/ men of faith. One has to realize the Kingdom of heaven is of all nations in Christ.
I know some darker skinned women who are strong women in faith. I have a hard time of thinking someone is black, in that there are a lot of different shades of brown, etc... There are people who actually have black skin, but I haven't seen many.
Those saved by the blood of the lamb come from all nations. All colors, etc... God loves diversity, originality, uniqueness, etc... We are all special, not one is the same. Yet we all are of the human race.

I know for a fact that a racist bigot can in no way enter Heaven... In order to enter Heaven one must be reborn in the spirit and to be reborn in the spirit one must live a righteous life and being a racist bigot is not living a righteous life.

Not that I believe in the bible or anything (I am Wiccan), but according to all I have heard, Jesus Loved Everyone and wished for Everyone to Love Eachother. Now I don't know who has or hasn't inflicted/ told you about/ where you read about these bigotries, but I am going to venture a guess that those people -no matter how many times they said they were in the service of the Christian God- aren't exactly people the real Christian God wants to spend eternity with. I think another good Question would be 'Will Hypocrites go to Heaven'.
As for Wiccans and Pagans, I am of the opinion that we aren't aloud to discriminate either. One of our main rules states "And it Harm None, do What yee Will". Personally I have always interpreted that as : "Do as you like, but if what you like hurts people, then you're in trouble!" Anyway, good luck with your quest for answers. ^__^

Wow. This is going to be one of the hardest questions I've had to answer.
I was raised in a multi-racial family. My father is from North Africa, and my mothter is of Jewish lineage. She was raised part of her childhood in the bushes of Africa as both of her parents were Anthropologists.
I was raised not being racist against anyone, including black people. I had many black friends, men and women, in school, growing up and I've even dated a few black men.
However, within the last few years, I took an employment position that consisted of all black people. In the beginning months, it was fine, but it grew very hateful. I tell you, I've never been so discrimminated against by any group in my life, as I was by this group (and to this day, I still cannot figure out why). There was so much hate in that office against white people, Arabs, Jewish people., etc, even against their own race!!
After one year and a few months I had just about had enough. I had even called for some meetings to be held about this problem in that year's time, and of course, to no avail.
I love black people as they are like my brothers and sisters, but this employment experience really threw me for a loop and I will never forget it. It really made me learn about how stuck people, as a whole, will never get past race issues. I was really sadened by the experience.
I still indeed have a number of black friends, as I've mentioned, but this was just that one experience that made me really look at the world we live in today just a bit differently.
I hope this helps....

Anybody can go to Heaven as long as they ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of their lives and to save them from their sins. True Christians stop hating other people due to the color of their skin and other things because they have the Holy Spirit inside them to guide them to do the right thing. There is a bible verse that goes like this...If you still hate, you are not of the Father.

Unfortunately for them and everyone else who refuses to cooperate with God, racist bigots will not be in heaven.
In order to go to heaven a person must have a Christlike character.
A Christlike character is the only kind of character that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of character that could be trusted in heaven.
God and Christ are displeased with anyone who chooses to think wrong thoughts about others.
There are a variety of reasons why people could be thinking unfavorably about African-American women. Some form their opinion based upon what they see of those African Americans who lack moral excellence or beautiful character. Others base it upon hearsay. Still others have deep, personal heart issues that have developed through their experiences in relationship to African Americans.
There is greater potential to influence other human beings through the influence of our character than there is potential to influence them through our reputation. Aim to reflect the character of Jesus Christ and leave the reputation in God's hands.
Slander may blacken the reputation but cannot stain the character.
It is the small person that tries to increase his or her size by cutting down others.
A Christian is like Christ. He made Himself small so that others could be lifted up.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Pray for the small people too.

Bigotry is to hate. to be predudice is to hate.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
They will not be able to go to heaven with that hate in themelves towars others.
God refers to "brother as being another person and not just a blood relative. Same goes for Sister.

The trick is everyone goes to heaven.
There is simply no where else to go.
Racism and bigotry are just as important of tools for gaining understanding and promoting spiritual growth as love and compassion are.
They are opposites to be sure but we can use either the negative or the positive to advance our spiritual understanding.
We just need to stop judging and pay attention.

People hate that which is different from themselves. It's easier to be judgmental on the internet due to the anonymity. I doubt they'd say anything if you confronted them face to face.
