Entry: Race, Nationalism, and Patriotism, Part I: Race Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/race_nationalism_and_patriotism_part_i_race#15486 Post contents: Yep, the concept of "white race" was quite exclusionists in the old days. Someone mentioned once a trial for miscegenation (because the State had the right to tell you who you could or could not marry in those days, a prelude to the days when they could sterilize you). The judge refused to convict because while the man was black the wife was Italian, so she was not white. As to how should we treat others, well, when Jesus spoke of the Golden Rule, he did not specify race nor ethnicity, nor anything else, only to deal with them as we should wish them to deal with us. Or in the words of St. Peter Claver, remembering that each of them was redeemed by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sent at: 2008 09 07
