No, God is not racist (He is Supreme Being), because He has no race and didn't create race (just a different variety of people, like cats or dogs), therefore how can He be racist.
Your skin color/body was designed and adopted to your environment, but does not make it a different origin or species.
Racism was created by the anti-christ (by us). Darwinism sort of started racist ideas talking about evolution, species of changing to a different and make a new one, is not true. There are just different varieties of species. So don't let yourself be decieved.
Sickle cell anemia, has some benefits. It prevents people from getting malaria, which is kills many and is from Africa. So, back then people in Africa with sickle cell survived more than people who didn't.
Does cancer have intelligent design? No, kills everyone.
Does Death have a intelligent design? No, everyone dies, no matter who you are, what, or age, it comes unexpected.
God created suffering to humble ourselves and to come to Him, and that we recognize we need Him (started from Adam and Eve), without Him, we will be nothing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and through faith you can see your blessings.

i actually learned about this the other day in anatomy
the sickle cell gene was orginally a mutation of the body in response to malaria.
people with the sickle cell mutation can't get malaria.
so it was the bodys way of adapting to the situation.
i guess its a less of the two evils type thing.
thats why sickle cell affects mostly black people. b/c black people orginally come from africa and thats where malaria is prevelant.
i dont think it has anything to do with God.

That's just evolution of a biological defense mechanism becoming destructive because it's not being used. There are plenty of other diseases that do that also. Sickle cell anemia originated from a defense against malaria, Tay-Sachs from tuberculosis, etc.

I know you have read the old testament, at best he is a slightly reformed racist. Once he had "chosen his people" he seemed to have no problem supporting them in the slaughter of everyone. Also god just loves slavery, it is everywhere in the bible.

Well it's really a double edged sword. It is advantageous against malaria. Considering it is quite easy to get malaria in Africa, those with sick cell anemia can combat it. No God is not racist.

I really hate to tell you this, it is evolution. It's an adaption to survive malaria. people who survive malaria have a mutated gene, which in their offspring, in which both parents have to hand it down, can produce sickle cell.

Of course not. How can God be a racist when He created us ? We have diseases because of the choices we make, the environment we put ourselves in, the food we digest, etc..
We were designed to sustain life for a long long time.. and because we have free will to do as we please, we suffer the consequences.
