its true yet a lot of people (not all ) but a lot of people still have hate in hearts..they may not show it in front of people but they still did and do... (generally) No offense..........
its not just between Black and white people but its between White and Brown people and white and yellow people.......
So why is it that a huge population (world's largest religion) of white people have racial difference with almost every race....(no offense) I know some people don't yet most people do.... Don't deny it if you had a choice between living in a black or Asian neighbor hood for cheap you would still go for white neighbor hoods....
**** I fully understand that many people don't feel racial hate for other people I am just talking about the ones who do... So please no offense*******

Every last Christian I know is openly rascist.
That's so weird, I know... it baffles me.

I'm not sure whether this is an honest question or a tirade against racism. Assuming that you would like to know, there are probably two answers.
First, not all white people are Christians. In fact, a great many are not Christians.
Second, the bible teaches that even those who are Christians will still struggle with sin until they die. So, while one should expect to see less sin in their life after submitting to the lordship of Christ, it is also to be expected that some sin will remain with a person up until the moment that they day. For one person that may be gossiping or lying. For another, cheating and stealing. For the third, and perhaps in answer to your question, it might racism and hatred.
In Christ alone,

Isn't there a story in the Bible about Killing the inhabitants of Jericho, and taking the city? How is that Peace and Love?
"people then shout as the trumpets are blown again, and the wall around Jericho falls down "flat," allowing the Israelites to walk "up into the city." The Israelites killed all the people of Jericho except Rahab and her family and burnt the city to the ground"

Everyone, and I mean everyone has ill feelings toward people. To be a Christian does not make someone suddenly above natural human hatred for anything different.
White people (and I am one, or at least appear white to other white people) do not harbor any more hatred toward blacks than blacks do toward whites.
The other races actually harbor more hatred toward us than we do toward anyone. Your question proves that. It is probably because our history. It appears we were successful at everything we set our minds to do. Modern luxories are almost exclusively white ingenuity. We are truly the most blessed of all the races.
A lot of whites misused our power. But a lot of non-whites were also jealous of it. Whites have been both kind and evil throughout history.
And yes, if I have a choice between a white or whatever other color neighborhood, I will choose white. but even fish swim with their own kind. tht analysis proves nothing. Oppurtunity exists for every race in America. There are rich and respected people from every single one. Noone is kept from success because of their skin color.
The Bible teaches a lot of things. Peace and love are among them. Christ was against racism. So stop being one by thinking whites are the worst race of all because we have a lot of problems with other races. Look at Darfur. Blacks kill blacks ritually. Is that white peoples fault?

Already living in the Black neighborhood because it is quite a deal.
Did you know that some Black people hate some Black people?
My wife is neither Black nor White and I have noticed that some Black and White people hate her. I am White, and some White people, my Aunt for instance, hate me for marrying her.

Thank You for starting this conversation:
My husband is 1/2 Puerto Rican and 1/2 Black - I am caucasion looking - But, not white. My father's was mother was Black and my Grandfather was white - they were married over 50 years and when my Grandmother died my Grandfathers heart broke! They Dearly loved eachother! My Grandmother's Grandmother was Chinese Roialty.
My mother's was white and her father was Full-Blood Cherokee.
My family has been all my life mixed! To me this is normal in my life - race does not matter!
When I first met my husband I did not even know what he was and I did not care!!! I did not ask him until we had been married for three months - I was so scared that my husband, Mark would take offensively - he did not. Thank God. That was in 1997 and we just celebrated our tenth anniversery March 17th.
I am Sooooooooooooooooo Tired of racism! I do hate the word itself. Jesus Himself said; "lYou are to love others as I have loved you." People over-all have NOT listen to 'That' message - which I feel is of Love!!!
Please no one take malice in what I have written here - this is just my life the way it is - I Love It! I mean no offense to Anyone! I have friends of every race - and I Love My friends Dearly - I have NO problems with them! We even know four other mixed marraige couples - 3 wiith children - BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And, sooooo Very SWEET and PRECIOUS!
Please Be At Peace!
Take Care and God Bless!

Unfortunately many people don't actually believe what they claim they do. People wear masks to hide their true selves and hope nobody ever get a glimpse of them without their mask. So sad but true..

It is true that the Bible teaches that God is no respecter of persons. It also teaches that if you don't believe in God for whatever reason, even if you never heard of God, you will be punished for all eternity.
Not the kind of book for me.

okay. stop feeling that every racist is Christian. the majority aren't. like I said before, you tend to confuse "christian" with Christian: social construct vs creed.
and Christian and White are not synonymous terms FYI. I have plenty of white, black, asian, indian, arab, jewish, etc. brothers and sisters, and none of them think Christianity is a white religion. please remove that mentality. God is not discriminatory of colour, so neither should we be. hate is a sin altogether.
