The REAL Reason “Racism” Is Such a BIG Issue Today 

I love this! Thank you, Ken, for speaking truth from the word of God.

The other reason is a big government needs a divided people to assume power and maintain control. Divide and conquer is one of the oldest tactics known to man. Unfortunately, it still works.

God bless you Ken Ham...a true man of God and Creationism apologist for Christ

Keep speaking Truth, Brother ~ !!!

Thank you. God bless.

Thanks for this ❤

Thanks Ken...a good video!

Thanks Ken. Good stuff for all to adhere too.

There is NOTHING wrong with Christians acknowledging the FULL reality of racial differences.

I am a christian, caribbean black. What I dont get is why we look so different especially hair? I always ask my mom why did the african at least most of us in that race have hair that is completely different to other races. I used to watch women come to work hair all messed up from partying all weekend they would roll their hair up in a bun right there and hold it in place with a pen, I cannot do that. My doctor was going over my mammogram report with me and she said we caribbean women results look different because our breast are heavier. I can go on and on. I heard people teach on the region you live in but that is nonsense. We are all human but something needs explaining.

🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

God chose his favourites ..it says so in their scripture that they wrote themselves

I can confidently state that Mr. Ham was NOT trying to convince you to become a Seventh Day Adventist. Keeping the Sabbath is not for the Jew/Gentile Christian today. We are under Grace not the Old Testament Law. I’m not calling you an Unbeliever. But be careful, keeping the Sabbath is a law, if you keep one, you MUST keep ALL of them. Amen

Ken Ham and Kevin Bacon make a great side (a side of Ham and Bacon).

Biblical world view… there are white churches and there are black churches. Surely the pastor knows about the curse of Hamm ? Racism and hate comes from religion. There is no worse hate than Christian love.

The Anglo Saxons whoever they are and whatever they look like needs to hear this. They feel superior and special for some reason. Haha.

Try again ken! We all know you're trying to teach from the same book that says it's okay to own slaves! What a joke that ain't funny....

There ARE DIFFERENT Races of humans just like there are different of every creation on the planet these people are teaching the accepted translation brought by man and not reading the book for what is actually written in it. The word these confused people say means "types" means "species" inthe original hebrew . these people are really teaching their own doctrine.

Not a real teacher of great creator! teacher of kreatinanity

More often than not, the one shouting racist is the racist.

Human beings are human beings, no matter what skin color we each have.

I so wish everyone would listen to this!

Praise God for you, brother Ken. Your work for God is inspirational.

Forcing Different Ethnicities and Cultures and Religions TOGETHER is a Way of Defeating them. And we're seeing that Today.

One race- human. Many tribes that God speaks of but we are all created in God's image.

Thank you Ken Ham.

There is one race, the human race.

Thank you Ken for devoting your life to get the truth out!!

First rule of any debate, you have to define your terms: Race in a strict sense refers to breeds/strains (a stock of animals or plants within a species having a distinctive appearance/distinguishing traits) of lifeform specimens in a given species. Among human beings, races are groups of human beings who share one or more common ancestors from a particular geographic region of the world. Even from the Christian perspective, human beings may all be the descendants of Adam and Eve, but not everyone is descended from Cain, or Abel, or Shem, or Ham, or Japheth, or other major Biblical figures. The closer you get to the present day in the Biblical timeline; the fewer people share ancestry with the later Biblical figures. If you're not Semitic or Roman, you're not directly related to any of the figures of the New Testament (who were all, with rare exception like Pontius Pilate or Roman Centurions, Semites in general, or Jews in particular). Races obviously exist. Those ancestors of the modern races lived in particular regions of the world and developed particular adaptations (like light skin in the northern hemisphere due to lack of sunlight and dark skin in the equatorial/southern hemisphere due to high exposure to sunlight) to their given climate/region. There are physical differences between human beings of separate races that are physically measurable (shapes and sizes of body parts, for example), and it even has medical implications (northern European males disproportionately have issues with prostate cancer, Sub-Saharan Africans have issues with sickle-cell amenia, and East Asians issues with Jaundice). We do not say breeds of animals like those of _canis familiarus_ do not exist simply because they are of the same species, or because some people get uncomfortable because some other people start ascribing value/superiority/inferiority to certain breeds. This is a Compositional Fallacy/a Fallacy of Part and Whole. The big hullaballoo comes primarily as a result of the self-styled "Progressives" from the late 19th and early 20th century making the misguided and unjustified assumption that difference in race demonstrate superiority and inferiority. They made mistakes in assuming skin color could be a quick shorthand heuristic for intelligence. They were pretty evidently wrong, even from merely a historical perspective. Back in the Middle Ages, an Arab Muslim scribe who explored Eurasia noted that the further north you went, the less educated, less seemingly intelligent, more brutish, and more barbaric the peoples became, culminating in the blond-haired, blue-eyed Norsemen, who were not very smart but were very violent, very destructive, and in that time-period prone to sacrificing fellow human beings of tribes different to theirs to their pagan deities. It tended to be the darker skinned Romans, Semitic peoples, Greeks, Egyptians, and Subcontinent Indians that showed the greatest intelligence level, but this demonstrates obviously that culture and intergenerational development of education and transmission of knowledge has far more to do with IQ and societal achievement than mere genes. Black American economist and social theorist Thomas Sowell points out the reason Sub-Saharan Africans and Aboriginal Australians lag behind other groups has far more to do with the hostile and inhospitable climate and geography of Africa and Australia preventing the development and spread of knowledge and more effective cultural practices across the continent from antiquity to the present day than anything racial about Africans/Australians as peoples.

Amen

There is no difference between the races.. they are all human ....when they were dispursed throughout the world after Babel...... certain genetic traits became dominant at various locations..but the natives of Australia or Western Europe or wherever . The Lord loves variety

Praise God & thank you Ken Hamm.

❤❤❤❤

Ken, are you saying that variation based on DNA is not fact? I have not heard anyone lately saying everyone is not human. That went out with Hitler. Of course we don't need another Hitler. Biologically there certainly are multiple races. There are even diseases that are race specific. I certainly hope you are not telling people there are not different races. That would make Christians look stupid.

That's right, there is no difference between a sub-Saharan African and an Englishman, we can all see that, right? Come on, Robins and Blue Jays look a lot alike and often live in the same tree, yet they are a different sub-species of bird. The fact is that no other animals are classified by "race," but that is because we invented the term for ourselves. However, there are real differences between humans just as there are only two genders, and this basic biological reality is true regardless of whether or not that meets with our modern, fashionable memes.

Another nail in the evolution coffin.😂

Man this guy is such a blessing

Been some time since I heard your teaching Sir! Thanks for speaking the truth in love!.Pray Millions of folks subscribe and believe! Blsgs, gg

The evil one likes turmoil keeping everyone fighting with each other He's done an excellent job here in America

Zip it Ken. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

I understand YHVH created all the kinds of people on the 6th day and it was good. However, YHVH needed to create a bloodline for the Messiah to be born from the line of David that would not be corrupted by the fallen angels. So He created Eth Ha Adam for this purpose.

If someone says “dont send the gospel to the aboriginals because theyre not human” then that person clearly believes in evolution, because they believe in a separate race existing, so why would they care about the gospel?

If the Bible is not racist at all, why does it say in Leviticus 25:44 that the Israelites are only allowed to buy slaves from the nations around them?

Of course there are different "races" (breeds) of humans, just like in all other mammals. Differing breeds have differing characteristics. Get over it.

There is only one race, human

GOD made nations. We do not look the same or behave in the same manner. Each nation has its language its value system or lack of. We are all human and diversity is chaos.

The heart of man is deceiful above all else.

There are people out there in the world who want to limit people by their skin color, Or where they come from.. Some people just want to watch the world burn. Why does skin color matter? Who told you it matters? You can't have your cake and eat it too. What I mean by that is There are some people of a certain skin color who want to be promoted and put in a position of power and popularity and fame Basically be on top , But they don't want to be hated either because of their skin color You can't have it both ways.. This is why the saying that "Pride is not the opposite of shame but its source, True humility is the only antidote

We love AiG and the word of God!

Ham's attempt to blame racial prejudices on evolution is just beyond asinine. Humans have been racist loooooong before Darwin came up with Origin of Species in 1859.

Such basic information which can make so much positive difference when applied. Thanks for posting!

Mr Ham, you make an assertion regarding the Australian aboriginals, and certain atrocities, please cite your sources, in other words more than one source please.

In Genesis 11, God confused the languages of men and scattered them abroad upon the face of the earth. People who spoke the same language would naturally group together and multiply in different global regions, to the exclusion of others. The distinctive genetic traits of those regional groups would be passed down to their descendants, identifiable today as unique ethnicities, cultures, and mannerisms. We are all human beings, made in God's image. None of us are better or worse in God's sight, but we are incompatible with each other. God intended it that way so we wouldn't bond together and challenge him. That's why diversity and inclusivity don't work. Humans are better off being race realists and segregating themselves to live in their own regions with their own kindred.

Amen brother Ken 🙏🙏🙏✝️

God bless you Ken! For taking on such atheist as Bill Nye and others who just try to crush God. It’s so sad that his own creation would turn on him the way they have. I would want to delete and start over myself. Thank you for all you do brother. One day I look forward to going and seeing the ark encounter in Kentucky. Love in Christ brother

👍❤️❤️❤️👍

So Rich (so sad) Thank you Ken ❤

Nicely spoken. Thank you Jesus for the wisdom you have given Ken.

Saying "Adam and Eve" and "evolutionary history" in the same context seems conflicted.

Thank you Ken. Love God and love your neighbor. Regardless of ethnicity or political views.. sometimes it’s hard but possible with Christ

God likes variety. Nothing about race. Bc we all function the same except for man and woman.

We called the HUMAN race. Enough said.

Conditions in the southern United States only got worse with Darwin.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤even the right in media accept racism But Ken I hear very few condemning racism as a lie and deception

I would agree with Ken Ham in this video. Something that caught my attention was what Mr. Ham did, confessed a sin his native Australia did as a society and a part of the Australian Church Body. Why is it that many Americans do not want to confess their sin of racism here in The USA? Why do we try to sweep under the carpet? Let’s talk about The American Church as a whole, it has been guilty of the sin of racism as well. While many Churches have come out and confessed it and asked for forgiveness, and we should extend grace and forgive of us who have been on the receiving end of the sin for racism; there are still many more who don’t want to confess it, repent, and ask for forgiveness. If you don’t believe The American Church has been guilty of the sin of racism, read and study the lives of Rev. Richard Allen, Rev. Charles Mason, Dr. Tony Evans, and Rev. Charles Johnson, among others. However, I will say this to my Black and Latino brothers in Christ, when a White brother or a Church body does confess, repent, and ask for forgiveness we should forgive, extend grace, seek relationship and reconciliation. The climax of the gospel message is not the forgiveness of sin, which is only the beginning, the climax of the gospel message is reconciliation.

You showed a few pure Australian aborigines but most were mixed blood.

Hello Ken it's cold near Dalby But my heart is warm with the love of Jesus. I found you and I are 1951. Models. Sometimes I listen to your co nferences while I pull clocks down. Great investment. Thanks Ken you are greatly appreciated

The problem is that to be a Christian, you are required to believe that God came to earth in human form expressly to volunteer to be slowly tortured to death as a human sacrifice in order to save us all - from HIMSELF. This torturous death satisfied God (Jesus) and made him happy again so that he wouldn’t smite us again, as he did the first time when he drowned everybody in the Flood. Human sacrifice is the WORST superstition we humans have ever invented. In the 300,000 years of human existence, millions of men, women, boys, girls, babies, and animals have been sacrificed either to appease an angry god or to ask for some kind of favor. There never was a god, living or dead, real or imaginary who ever gave a hoot about sacrifice.

If that were true, then the Bible wouldn’t bother to document the genealogy of the passover lamb. The womb of Christ was kept pure from the serpent seed. The sons of Cain. Jesus pointed them out in John 8:44 and again in revelation 2:9 and 3:9. The offspring of the fallen angels, the parable of the tares and the wheat tell you they look just like humans. Not all of them were Giants. If you would go back and read the instructions on the genealogy of the Passover land, you would understand why the genealogy of Jesus Christ was so important. That is the key of David.

❤ awesome topic! Our bodies have been given, by God, the ability to ward off the sun’s rays through darkening or lightening. If our ancestors stayed in largely sunny areas their skin darkened to ward off the super bright sun. Perfect sunblock for darker skin tones! I’m a pale redhead (yes- there are dark skin tone redheads). My ancestry is Scottish, Irish and German. Not much constant bright sun up there! It’s simply location adaptation built into us by God!

Race is from mankind. To put one group above another.. Some ppl worship other human beings I worship God and God only. No human is getting any worship from me.. don't give a darn what their skin tone is or how they feel about themselves or what label they put on themselves. Even nationalities are a label. It's one planet. God formed it as a circle bc it's the only shape undivided.

Ken seems to forget what his fellow countrymen did to the aborigines

So why did death come to every and all animals and plants ..if they never transgressed but clearly god is happy with animals and plants ?

God bless you and your ministry for standing strong with your Biblical views in a time when it's so unpopular, to say the least ❤

The real reason racism is such a big issue today????? Uh it always has been a big issue and will continue to be until it’s overcome.

So Ken is expanding his God bothering to politics.

Thanks for this lovely presentation

Again I say only one race the human race how dare anyone break it down to wherever anybody is from God created the human race so don't go there trying to break it down with different people in different places of the world One race God made human beings One race and I mean One race 😠

All humans did not come from a single pair! the doctrine that everyone comes from a single pair is completely against the law of biology that great creator himself installed!

I just like to say thank you Ken for your insight I enjoyed listening to you

This sounds great until you try living with different races in real life

Mr. Ken Ham. I just want to write. I was a teenager when I saw your videos on dinosaurs. I started believing in God because of your work. Upon investigating Answers In Genesis. I eventually became a Seventh-Day Adventist. I've never forgotten that it's because of God working through you, that I started believing in Him. When my questions about evolution were answered clearly and scientifically. I want to say thank you. I'm an artist, and I paint scenes about God and the Bible now. Thank you for pointing young people who are intellectual, to God as the Creator. Thank you.

Different races! different racial characteristics

Race is real. Obviously

One race is true. There is one group of people that make up 13% of America that I do stay away from, however, due to the unusually high percentage of violence and lack of community standards and decorum.

There's only one human race, but there are two kingdoms Either the Lord Jesus is your King or He isn't Submit to Him , love the Crucified Risen Messiah Be forgiven ❤️✝️🙏

This has always been my argument against, "racism".

Amen ! This is the truth!!!

Thank you for using the english KJV Bible because all other so-called modern Bible translations in english are not the word of God!

It depends on your definition of race. Most people use it today to refer to people with specific physiological attributes similar to talking about tall or short people, blondes and brunettes, etc. A smaller group uses it to refer to everyone descended from a specific individual, such as The Old Testament referring to Israelites, Edomites, Amalekites, etc. This is still used by ethnic Jews to day in regard to Judah, but it fails, because this many generations away over half the people in the world have Judah in their ancestry, so the definition now is more arbitrary, and is used primarily by Germanic and Slavic people who's ancestors who practiced Judaism devoutly or religiously in the 1800s. The physiological defnition is the most consistent, but certain, ethnocentric people don't want someone who looks like them but has a parent who doesn't look like them to be included in their race. This distinction today is especially made toward kids who are half-Asian or half-African by some Asians and Africans, because they are negatively biased toward the culture of the other parent. I don't think it matters if people refer to races, as long as it has no negative connotation. The problem is other people use it negatively, so depending on the situation any mention of it gets treated as negative.

I've never understood this. Ken claims there's only one human race, because we are all related and share a common ancestor(which evolution also says.) Okay. So that's a good argument for why we're all the same _species,_ but what does that have to do with race at all? And why did it take thousands of years, and major advancements in secular thought and science, for Christians to all of a sudden find this "truth" in the Bible? By the way, Darwin also said humans are all the same race.

Praise God 🙏

Agreed fully

The only reason there are people with different color skins is because they spent thousands of years adapting to the various climates of the countries they were living in, if you're living in a hot climate, your skin gets darker, if you're living in a cold climate, your skin gets lighter

Matthew 5:48

Which is all a bit humourous because the Christian church is one of the most segregated institutions in the USA. According to a study published in the Florida Law Review (Vischer, Robert K. (2001). "Racial Segregation in American Churches and Its Implications for School Vouchers") "...As of 2001, as many as 87% of Christian churches in the United States were completely made up of only white or African-American parishioners." Physician, heal thyself.

God divided people for a reason. He divided man by language and race. Unity isn't in the cards folks. God made it so.

Where do the different colors come from

The Aramaic Targum is clear, Genesis 1 and 2 have two different human species of creation events. Race is a politically correct way of saying and racism is the dominance struggle between each...

Thank you Ken for detailing this powerful TRUTH, biblically and biologically so clearly!! Today if you declare just one race, the Human Race, you will likely be punished in some manner. Especially if you work for a woke company or institution (college or university)…… sad that this truth is actively suppressed.
