If Jesus is real and if he is a god of love, then Christianity shouldn't be one of the most horrific plagues ever released on mankind. The torment, terror and murder caused by white Christians throughout history among the most brutal in history.
This isn't a matter of a few bad apples. Christianity is fraught with evil, while too many Christians just shrug and say "nobo ...[text shortened]... with greed....how much more should Christians raise hell over the racist evils done in God's church?
The thing I wonder about is why He hasn't just ended us, and the only reason given is that He loves us; it isn't just what He does it is who He is, so we are given space to come to Him who is love, righteousness, goodness and all the other attributes of God. Do you think we are a holy righteous people that God should keep letting us murder, rape, steal, cheat, hate each other being a God of love? That should be okay because we are so righteous?
No greater love than when someone lays down their lives for a friend, and Jesus did that for us; the Word of God did that for us, the greatest example of love. From God, there could be nothing less; for us, we are a condemned race, all of us without exception, and God is attempting to save us, from His wrath, the wrath when we are locked into once we leave this temporary life and come face to face with Him. It will not be the whites on one side; we are all one people. Those who hate others, without exception, are breaking God's law that we should love Him and each other.
Our brutal history is us treating us with contempt bigotry, using others as objects to be consumed instead of individuals who were all without exception made in God's image, for God's purposes. We treat each other as trash, and the ones we are doing this to are people God loves; we are in His creation treating the most precious things on this planet other people with hate and contempt, and you think God should be okay with that knowing our time is short here where there is no turning back?
What is causing all of this is our sin, and we love it; instead of owning up to our corruption, it is easier to condemn someone else,' but in the case of racism, when we start hating other races, we become that which we profess to hate, we will have no excuse before God when we give an account for all of our words, deeds, and thoughts before a Jesus Christ who tried to save us.
