Seeing Through Racial Intolerance

ZARA V. GLORIA DOOKHIE

Those who think of some of their fellowmen as not wholly acceptable as equal human beings because of nationality, race, color, class, occupation, religion, or any other classification have a problem!

Many accept the account of creation in the first chapter of Genesis: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness .... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him."^{Gen. 1:26, 27;}

But having accepted this account of the creation of spiritual man, they promptly turn their thought to the material evidence of mankind as unequal and accept that as the current fact. They attempt to reconcile the contradiction by saying that the spiritual creation is an ideal, or something to be attained at a future date and in some far-off place called heaven.
