Bob Jones University's Official Stance on Interracial Dating (or "those satanic miscegenists")
Wheeljak
statement about interracial dating. I decided to go to their website
(www.bju.edu) to take a look, and I decided to post it here, to see
what the nice people of SCAA have to say in regards to it. I hope that
especially those of you who are opposed to interracial dating (not
including the pseudo-nazis and klansboys) will respond to BJU's
statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOB JONES UNIVERSITY ON INTERRACIAL DATING
Why is the focus being placed on something which is such a small and
insignificant part of
the University's whole, making it a media obsession? The last two or
three generations of
students who have graduated from this institution never once heard a
discussion of this
policy. It is not something that is preached or talked about.
This institution, offering more than 110 academic majors, produces men
and women of
character and trained intellect of the sort employers need and
scarcely find today. We have
a wholesome, disciplined, kind, and joyous student body. Racism and
hatred are not part
of our institutional character. The media has missed the point.
Instead of exulting in the
freshness and academic importance of the school, they have magnified
something that we
don't magnify and never discuss. Why?
Is Bob Jones University guilty of racism because it has a rule
restricting interracial dating?
Students of all races attend here and live in racial harmony and
respect for one another as
Christians. If there is discrimination in the policy, which race is
discriminated against?
Black, white, or yellow? Each person dates within his own race. For
there to be
discrimination, one race would have to be treated differently than the
other.
Is Bob Jones University's interracial dating policy the issue, or is
its right to hold the policy
the issue?
Since most people of all races choose to marry within their race, this
furor against Bob
Jones University seems totally disproportionate. The noise comes from
but a strident few
with personal agendas.
If the people of all races who choose to attend Bob Jones University
have something they
can live with, why should the world at large care? It does them no
harm. None of the
University's rules have any bearing or influence upon society at
large.
Does Bob Jones University look down upon interracially married
couples? No. The warning
against interracial marriages is not about the couple, but about the
one-world system.
Can those who are already interracially married enter BJU as students?
Yes. BJU enrolls
interracially married couples who wish to be educated here even though
we have our dating
policy.
Is there a Bible verse or passage that teaches against interracial
marriage? No.
Is there a Bible principle upon which the University's interracial
dating stance is founded?
Yes.
The one-world principle--every effort man has made, or will make, to
bring the world
together in unity--plays into the hand of Antichrist. This first began
at the Tower of Babel,
and it will culminate at Armageddon when the Lord returns to establish
His rule of peace
and harmony for a thousand years.
Bob Jones University opposes one world, one church, one economy, one
military, one
race, and unisex. God made racial differences as He made gender
differences. Each race
and each sex should be proud to be what God made it, and none should
reproach the
other.
At the Tower of Babel, God used language to disrupt man’s plans for a
one-world
government. As a result of this disruption, the people were scattered,
and the races were
polarized. One thing is clear: God wanted a divided world, not a
federalized world. Based
on this biblical account (Genesis 10 and 11), the University wishes to
give God the benefit
of any doubt and avoid pursuing any direction that would give
assistance to the renewed
efforts of man to create a one-world community consisting of one
religion, one economy,
one government, and one race. The biblical account of Babel and God’s
response to it are
historical fact. This Christian institution merely seeks to live and
function under its best
understanding of what God is teaching us from this passage about His
purposes for the
world.
Does the University believe that those who choose interracial marriage
do so out of
rebellion against God? No. It does believe, however, that often the
promoters of it do so out
of antagonism toward God because they are often the same entities that
promote
homosexuality, abortion, and other forms of social radicalism.
Bob Jones University's policy regarding interracial dating is more of
an opposition to the
rebellious and defiant antichrist spirit of the promoters of
one-worldism than to interracial
dating itself. Many who date and marry interracially are just as
opposed to one-worldism
and the spirit of Antichrist as we are.
Does the University believe one race is superior to another race? No.
Are you aware that our 1998 Alumni Appreciation Award recipient was a
black BJU graduate?
Are you aware that our current student body president is an
Asian-American? Would that
happen at a racist school?
Did the University’s dating policy originate to regulate black-white
relationships? No. It was
first stated in the mid-1950s when dealing with an Asian-Caucasian
dating couple. At that
time, Christians nationwide understood that interracial marriage was
best avoided.

To restrict people from dating out of their race in the name of
Christianity is heresy, plain and simple. It is unlikely that Jesus
himself was pure race given the area he originated in.

It's also unlikely that He would have supported your
bisexuality, niggerfaggot.
