Exposing the fallacies of racism

GEOFFREY J. BARRATT

Racism, like sickness, sin, and death, is a variant on corporeal claims about man. All are fallacious claims. Mortal fallacies are exposed by Christian Science and corrected by it.

The corrective method of the Science of man is to lead us to look at existence not from sensuality, but from Soul-sense—not from finiteness, but from the allness of Love. Doing so heals. It regenerates and reforms, and it diminishes and negates injustice. All mortal claims are unjust, from the divine perspective, and racism is as unjust—as tyrannical and invalid—as sin, illness, decay.

Mortal reasoning is essentially divisive. It would impose on us a sense of being organic, of being composed of this and that physical element. It would argue, too, that man, Mind's idea, is fractionated into races. Man is, by reflection, as whole as God, and to play host to suggestions of division is not only physically unhealthy but socially and politically unhealthy.
