This issue has the potential to blow up and divide race relations in the Church.

1. Consider the source that this came from........ The Gospel Coalition. That should instantly raise a bright red flag.

2. Welcome to the philosophy of the Left. Is this something new in the Church? nope Paul warned and chided some of the churches for falling back into the philosophy of the world.

Quote
Titus 3:3-6 (ASV) "For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"
Scripture teaches that professing Christians MUST not get entangled with the philosophy of the world and especially to bring it into the Church. Racism of any kind is contrary to God's law and it was abolished in Christ Who in His atonement paid the penalty for sin which divided man from God and man from man thus creating one new man...

Quote
Ephesians 2:13-22 (ASV) "But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in the flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh: for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father. So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit."

The Left 'preaches' the doctrine hatred, racism by making everyone a victim, someone who has been offended, wronged, persecuted, etc. by someone else. The Left is based upon the division of the human race into categories; race, color, gender, national origin, creed, etc. It is the Church which is a foretaste of the New Heaven and New Earth for these distinctions have been abrogated, albeit not implemented perfectly due to the fact that Christians have remaining sin.

I thought James White did a more than adequate job of refuting Thabiti Anyabwile from the only source of faith and practice; The Bible.

Pilgrim, yes I agree with you concerning the Gospel Coalition. The more I hear about them the more I become concerned about them. I agree with you that James White did a more than adequate job of refuting Thabiti Anyabwile.
Unfortunately, I am finding that issues like this, even with otherwise solid black Christians, have a way of getting their dander up. Years ago I had a black friend, that seemed quite solid in the faith. I was even mentoring him in the Reformed faith. Unfortunately, when I asked him why the majority of blacks voted Democrat, rather than Republican. The answer I got back, was "because all Republicans are prejudice!" That was the last time I heard from him despite my trying to apologise.
I am sure that there are blacks who do vote Republican, but unfortunately I am finding out what not to say among black Christians.

It is amazing how much ignorance exists on this matter of the persecution of "blacks" and the Democratic Party.

Here is some informational sites which remove the blind(ers) by providing the historical and irrefutable FACTS:

Thank you for the links. I do have a question related to the link though.
At the bottom of the link under "Order Now" it reads "EXPOSING THE NAZI ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN LEFT".
I have been doing some research on the left and from what I am reading the American Left has its roots in Marxism, and although it had some German roots. The Nazi's (as led by Adolf Hitler) themselves were of the far right and were anti-Communism. Hitler however, denied the movement was either left or right; he called it a syncretic movement.”

Am I missing something?

Please provide a link to the page which you are referring to re: 'EXPOSING THE NAZI ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN LEFT'. I spent too much time trying to find it. But regardless, Dinesh D'Sousa is one brilliant man who does his research beyond what would normally be necessary to substantiate a particular claim. I cannot imagine that he could be so wrong in regard to the issue of the origin of the American Left. Therefore, at this moment, I must conclude that you have misunderstood something and drawn a wrong conclusion about this matter. So again, please get me to the page where you read what you THINK shows that Dinesh D'Sousa is waaaaaaaaaay off the mark on a subject which he is lauded as one of the foremost authorities to ever come down the pike. scratchchin

I did provide a link, however I also had trouble finding it again.
I decided to Google it and found it right away.
