Black and white: Since the dawn of creation, black has been given a negative connotation. Why?

All peoples, regardless of stature, culture, color, or language, are members of one human family. The apostle Paul plainly stated that God “made out of one man every nation of men.” Or, as The New English Bible puts it: "From one human being he created all races of people and made them live throughout the whole earth." (Acts 17:26) HOW HUMAN VARIETY CAME TO BE Scientific studies have shown that differences among living things are, basically, a matter of genetics.

Adam and Eve had all the prerequisite genes for all the varieties of races/skin tones as well as the various features. It is said Adam and Eve could have been dark skinned to begin with, as light skin tone typically comes from dark. Note that we are all "brown"... we are simply different shades.

Now, suppose a group of people were isolated geographically from the rest of the human family. Certain characteristics among those people would become stronger, or “dominant,” throughout the group’s descendants. Eventually a new “race” would develop, yet it would remain human.

Professor S. A. Barnett, from the Australian National University, defines race as “a group which shares in common a certain set of genes, and which became distinct from other groups as a result of geographical isolation.

HOW THIS "GEOGRAPHICAL ISOLATION" CAME ABOUT The Bible mentions a time when there were not, as yet, any races. Back then, it could be said of mankind that “they are all a single people with a single language.” (Genesis 11:6 in The Jerusalem Bible) However, the account in Genesis 11:1-9 talks about an attempt that was made to keep mankind in one location for religiopolitical purposes. But this ran contrary to God's original purpose “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.” - Gen.

9:1; see also 1:28. So the account goes on to mention that God suddenly caused men to speak different languages so they could not understand one another. Unable to communicate as one people, little groups, now isolated by the barrier of language, moved off on their own.

As they spread farther afield, distance added another barrier to communication. The record of these events says that God "scattered them from there over all the surface of the earth.” (Gen. 11:8) Isolated by location and by language, the descendants of each group multiplied and developed the distinct features of their “race.

The nearest ancestor of the black race is Noah's son Ham. Some of his descendants became increasingly darker over generations. Ham himself was not black but some of his descendants became blacks.

There are blacks in the Bible, but it is mainly about God's chosen people the Jews and finally Christians. The Bible speaks of Egyptians and Ethiopians and Cush or Cushites, both of which were blacks during biblical times.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
