Christians and Jews of Jow Forums, how do you explain Racism in a Biblical context? I believe Jesus's Purpose was chiefly to bring the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel back into the fold. In Matthew 15, Jesus makes it absolutely clear that his preference is for Israelites. I, myself, am a racist, and would like to find solid Biblical support for my perspective. All the scientific data behind race realism supports it, as we all know. But do any of you Bible scholars have any solid quotes or information about this that could help me become more firmly confident in the Biblical precedent for my belief? Thank you.
This mainly applies to those afflicted by the Curse of Ham and Canaan, those with dark skin.
Serpent Seed theory and British israelism are always your go-to routes. Those two don't necessarily mean white superiority but they are what white supremacists used to use, and white supremacy is used to slur the theories. Go to wiki.
It was always God's plan to invite everyone into the kingdom, and you are wrong but am argument could be made.

Please explain further. How am I wrong?

Serpent Seed Theory is fascinating; I actually had come up with an interpretation along these lines independently.

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.
2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
