Since each of the Abrahamic religions is composed of human beings that are supposed to administer the Word of God to the people of God, conveyance of the Word is left up to the minister, rabbi, and imam's own biases and prejudices that they carry as human beings. This formation of thought by religion has justified slavery, racism, and Jim Crow in American culture.
World domination by the British took place in the form of colonization of nonwhite people based on the so-called Great Chain of Being that was a hierarchical structure of all life that was decreed by God (but whose God?), with white people at the top and everyone else, especially persons of color, at the bottom. Accordingly, class and race affect every social and/or economic institution to this very day.
In this provocative treatise, Dr. R.D. Carter, Jr., provides an eloquent argument that God has given us a road map and that we must fix this problem before it destroys our faith in the church, synagogue, and mosque. Adult readers from millennials to senior citizens of all genders and education levels who are interested in race and social justice issues will benefit from this compelling, insightful, and timely study.
