rac·ism   (rā'sĭz'əm) Pronunciation Key
n. - The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
- Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
rac'ist adj. & n.
From this information it should be suffice to ascertain that a racist is a person who subscribes to this prejudicial belief system, exercising discrimination on the basis of race. When the State of Louisiana first made the marriage license (government permission to marry) mandatory, it was only mandatory for those who practiced miscegenation, or "mixed-marriage". As long as both individuals who married were of the "same race" they did not need to ask the government for permission to marry. Those who were of different racial origins were required to apply. see: BEFORE YOU SIGN These people were discriminated against on the basis of their race. "Same race" marriages required no marriage license (or permission to marry) at that time. Later however, in 1923, Uniform Marriage and Marriage License Act was put into effect, requiring people to apply for a marriage license (permission to marry) from the State government. However there were still some States in the west that did not endorse the State government issued marriage license. It is my understanding that by 1929, the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act was established, requiring all U.S. citizens to marry by means of Civil Writ, regardless of their alleged "racial purity". "Racial purity" was a very serious concern for many people of the U.S.A. at that time and unbeknownst to many today, Adolf Hitler's views with respect to racial purity (and many other views of his) were warmly received by a great majority of Statists at that time. Swastikas were boldly paraded in the streets alongside US flags while crowds of US citizens cheered, prior to the second world war. I found footage of this on the internet but it is also historical fact. The reason for my generous usage of quotation marks when I use such terminology as "racial purity" and "mixed-marriage" is because personally, I believe there is only one human race comprising several variations of the same race. I realize this belief is not always popular among some; but science has already proven that all human beings are indeed the same spieces, regardless of what the neo-nazis would tell us. I have an improved version of the original manuscript that you copied, here: http://www.yourchristianspace.com/blog/view/id_12170 In the sixties people still had to learn that there are consequences for loving corruption and confusion as much as there are consequences for loving correctly. As for experimentation, from a scientific standpoint, we learn that adulteration is a process that renders a particular substance "impure". For example: A chemist, in a laboratory setting, will regularly adulterate various substances to learn through observation what the conclusive outcome, product, or consequence, of that specific adulteration will be. The "love experiments" of the sixties also produced many results that were not conducive to the establishment of a healthy society. Many of these experiments continue in corruption even today. Social engineering is an ancient art. After all, someone must take the reigns of authority to help prevent Society from falling into a state of complete chaos. They won't do it without Jesus.
I think it stands to reason why the Lord God told His people, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Interestingly, Geneticists, Biologists, and other scientists, are still doing this today, on a daily basis, sometimes without realizing what they are really doing: Adulterating and frequently manipulating our very own genetic material with other material, and consequently rendering it corrupt. Researchers are interested in what the consequences will produce; hence, stem cell research. All the data from most of these various medical centers available today is carefully recorded and deciphered by researchers who record the results. Human experimentation has not ceased by any stretch of the imagination as science continues to work on the challenge of bio-engineering.
As for the matter of the secular government writ, commonly called the "marriage license", few people understand that this was also based on a genetic experiment in Louisiana shortly after the slaves were freed. At that time many "concerned citizens" desired to keep track of the affairs of their former slaves. Many of the southern States in the early 1920's were very concerned about something called miscegenation, a bio-genetic form of what racist (race oriented) individuals considered to be "adultery". As a result of this great concern for inter-racial marriage they invented a new law that required all "mixed-marriages" to apply for a marriage license. Races of same "colour" were not required to apply. If permission was granted to the inter-racial couple they could 'legally marry'. Prior to this, there was no secular marriage license in all of the U.S.A. Neither did the churches of GOD have any such custom. (All of this can be verified in Black's Law Dictionary.)
The custom of paying the State government for permission to marry worked out so well for the State of Louisiana, that other states (and nations) in AMERICA quickly followed suit. In 1923 the Uniform Marriage and Marriage License Act was established by the Federal government of the United States of America. In 1929 the name of this act was changed to the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act. Under this act it became mandatory for all those residents in the U.S.A. to register their intentions to marry (if they had such intention) with a State endorsed marriage license, regardless of race, creed, or colour; but in the beginning it was not so. What I find most interesting concerning the matter of licensing marriages by means of a secular writ, is that the incidence of legal divorcement in the U.S.A., after the establishment of this LEGAL ACT in 1923, has increased over 600% by ratio, with respect to prior divorcement records (which have a much earlier legal history). This should be ample proof that rings and vows and paper writ do not a marriage make. It bears repeating that in the beginning it was not so?
