That’s what and who I saw when he gave the statement also you can tell the it was very hard for him to mutter these words. Literally had no sincerity or compassion in his voice
It reminded me of when Obama tried to explain this:
the idea of race and racism in America and in the world today is nothing less than a deception and a liar. From hell. God made all men and women from one original couple, Adam and Eve. Until we admit and accept that as truth and humble ourselves before the Creator, we will never solve this sin of racism. There is good news, hoever

What does the Bible say about racism?
What does the Bible say about racism?

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.

As a result, no New Testament writer attempted to end slavery itself, as this was not possible in their time. But several other facts should be noted as well.
One: Paul abolished all racial and social discrimination for Christians:
In Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:2628).
Every believer is our sister or brother. None in the Christian family are to be viewed as slaves.
Two: Free Christians viewed slaves as their equal.
Paul appealed to Philemon to see his slave, Onesimus, no longer as a bondservant but more than a bondservant, as a beloved brother (Philemon 16).
Racism and the Bible
The Bible clearly condemns all forms of racism and views every person as equally valuable. Lets look at what Gods word says about our subject, then well consider some common questions people ask about the Scriptures and racism.
Six theological facts
One: We are all created by God.
The human story begins in Genesis 1, where God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them (v. 27). Every person is created intentionally by God in his own divine image. Thus, every person is sacred and equally valuable. Every form of racism, by definition, is to be rejected.
Two: We are all descended from the same parents.
Every human being is descended from Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28). As a result, The man called his wifes name Eve, because she was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20).
As Scripture notes, the Lord made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth (Acts 17:26). Because of the Flood, all of humanity can trace our ancestry to Noah as well (Genesis 9:1).
Three: Every person is equally valuable to God.
As noted earlier, Paul stated boldly: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). This at a time when many Jews considered Greeks to be unclean and inferior. Some claimed that God made Gentiles so there would be firewood in hell. Many refused even to look upon a Gentile in public.
For their part, Gentiles persecuted the Jewish people across nearly their entire history. The Jews were enslaved by Egypt, attacked by Canaanites and other surrounding tribes, destroyed by Assyria, enslaved by Babylon, and ruled by Persia, Greece, and Rome. The Roman Empire destroyed their temple in AD 70 and disbanded their nation after the Bar Kochba revolt in AD 132135. Nonetheless, Scripture teaches that there is neither Jew nor Greek in the eyes of God.
There is neither slave nor free was also a revolutionary claim. As we have seen, slavery was endemic in the first-century world. Many viewed slaves, especially those who came from foreign lands, as inferior to Romans.
There is no male and female was a radical statement as well. Romans considered women to be the possession of men. A female belonged to her father until she belonged to her husband. Women were either wives or concubines, with few rights of their own.
Galatians 3:28 sounds the clarion call that every form of racism known to Pauls day was invalid and sinful. The God who made us all loves us all.

How timely from the NY Post….
Just last year, the Parents Opposed to Pot lobby group tried to sound the alarm on the link between marijuana and mass shootings, compiling a list of mass killers it claims were heavy users of marijuana from a young age, from Aurora, Colo., shooter James Holmes and Tucson, Ariz., shooter Jared Loughner to Chattanooga, Tenn., shooter Mohammad Abdulazeez.
The Dayton killer agrees with everything Elizabeth Warren says. Has anybody else reported that?
There are no new gun laws proposed that would have stopped the El Paso shooter. Except for the fact that his Mother knew something was wrong and called Police. They told her he has done nothing wrong.
