Without safeguarding the reputation and dignity of the so-called African-American in the United States, and without belittling the rationale and God-given character of the Anglo-American, this study will approach the equality issue in America in the utmost empirical view. Using sound, biblical reasoning and historic evidence, the following study will explore past, present, and future relations between the two ethnic groups to evaluate any progress, regress, or stability as a result of both coexisting in this land in regards to the possibility of equalization.

The biblical perspective is based on human nature and the preordained purpose of God, and the historical perspective is based on man's natural lust and conquest for world supremacy and dominance. By the end of the study, a clearer picture of the relations between two world powers will develop as to whether equalization is possible amid the incoherence and politically correct jargon of today's theoretical framework of the social structure. Henceforth, the term "Whites" will substitute for Anglo-American, and the term "Blacks" will replace African-American.

INTRODUCTION

There seems to be some disillusion in many ways and among many people about the progress or regress of the relations between blacks and whites where it pertains to equality. Some say relations have improved and equality is not a far-fetched possibility, a theory based on sociological studies and statistics of historical data, and acceptance of this theory has eased tension among those who believe it. Still others believe that there remains a problem in terms of inequality even to the extent of the outward show of "blatant bigotry" and others to the effect of day-to-day situations of "timid bigotry", yet, the dilemma cannot go unattended if only for the sake of the country's future. To actually determine where the problem of inequality in America lies - if there is one - one would primarily have to understand the mindset of selected individuals.

For instance, if you ask a young black male who lives in the ghetto of Harlem if blacks and whites are equal, he would probably say no, they are not. Yet, if you ask a young white girl who attends a mildly integrated college and gets along fairly well with her black classmates, she would probably say yes, race relations are improving. There are various answers and beliefs among many people to take into consideration when evaluating racial equality or inequality in America.

For the purpose of this study, we will view the dilemma from a macro/biblical-level that will allow us to angle the cultural lens at time and chance thus focusing on the preordained and expected mentalities of each ethnic group, both blacks and whites. In other words, the study will place society at present on the biblical prophecy of whose turn it is to rule the world.

In addition, the study will consider the institutionalized levels of the past and present America, and finally, zeroing in on individual ethnicity, worldview, and opinion, will expose the mindset of the main players in the game of human equality. The depths of the study will rest on the foundation of honesty and fact without regard to preference or time. The resolution to any problem will never be reached without first acknowledging its beginning.

THE BLACK MAN AS MASTER

Before America, before the rule of Rome, before the white man, before the Birth of Christ, there was the legacy of Egypt. (Contrary to popular modern beliefs, Egyptians were Black people, not white people, as scholars today would have people believe). A nation built from the root of African granite and stone, Egypt stood as king and ruler among the world. A rich history of kings and queens that carried themselves in the stature of dignity and pride executed the authority and discipline it takes to manipulate a society.

Monopolizing the world's resources for the good of the entire world and maintaining a relationship with nature that gave them the strength and intuition to survive any crises of that day and age, the North African people walked in an arrogance that even God honored. However, in that arrogance they suppressed a nation of people of a different creed and subjected them to the unpleasant task of human bondage. For four hundred years, the nation of Israel was slaves to the taskmasters of the black man of Egypt.

When the time of deliverance came from on high, by God's own might, the Pharaoh's of Egypt stood firm against God's commandment to free the people of Israel from the Egyptians grip of slavery. Soon after the wonders of God, Pharaoh released Israel to him but as a product of 400 hundred years of suppression, the Israelites built the greatest empire known to humankind.

It was preordained that the Israeli nation served the Egyptians as slaves for the simple pleasure of God who wanted to demonstrate his power over humankind. He personally hardened the heart of the Pharaoh just so he could show different signs and wonders to the world before the Egyptians freed Israel. Afterward, he convinced Egypt and Israel that he was God, and every other nation of the world realized his power.

Throughout the history of the Old Testament, God raised nations in power and plunged them into ruin for years at a time. Babylon, Ethiopia, Israel, Rome, Greece, and now America, are all partakers one way or another in the pleasure of God to ultimately show his powers. Nations have conquered other nations, monopolized the world's resources, fought endless wars for control of a land, and bound one another to slavery and or servitude. From a biblical perspective, slavery as a stride to world domination has always played a part in history, although, men neglect to see the overall purpose and plan of world ruler-ship and practiced the art of superiority and supremacy over the exploited, and in many cases skin color was a factor, but in most others, it was religion.

Another reason God allowed submission of one nation to another was for the disobedience that nation displayed because of a given commandment by God. Because of Egypt's pride and treatment of the Israeli nation, God imposed punishment upon them, even though it was by his consent that they oppress Israel. Acknowledgement of him is vital to the stability and future of any nation. Given the chance, a nation was suppose to recognize God's presence and adhered to his demands. But one might ask, how can you adhered to someone that demands you disobey him, as in the situation with the Pharaohs of Egypt when God purposely hardened the Pharaohs heart.

Again, the purposes of God are always two and three-fold. God no more used Egypt as an oppressor to fulfill an earlier plan, one that was a lesson to the sons of Israel, than he did order Joseph into the land of Egypt to be enslaved. Hardening Pharaohs heart was only a subdivision in the stratagem for Israel to occupy their own land and to know whom their Lord was. Confusing, as it may seem, the preordained destination of a nation lies within the scheme of a supreme being who does all that is done for his own pleasure.

Subjugating a nation of people to the brutalities of another for more than four hundred years is but a mere component in the realm of logic that unfolds into the desired results of the originator. Likewise, equality has never been an absolute law of humanity; therefore, world dominance and ruler-ship has shifted from one nation to another over the course of history in respects to the differences of culture and geographical ethnicity, and, according to whose turn it is to rule the world. Egypt had their turn. Now it is the white man's turn, and the black man's turn to suffer in consequence of a 3000-year old punishment. Yet, who knows what lies ahead for the destiny of either nation, black or white?

THE WHITE MAN AS SUPREME

After the birth and death of Christ, many nations adapted Christianity as a world religion. Nations from every corner of the earth attended the day of Pentecost and heard men speak in the tongues of different languages. Whether a person, or scientist, acknowledge this turning point in humankind as one to market the gospel of Christ throughout the world and among the various nations, is one of personal preference, nevertheless, the Birth of Christ marked history as the beginning of the end.

Without controversy, recorded documentation of how the world received Christianity, as a religion was one that leveled the playing field for all. No one man or nation begat Christianity, nor can any one take full credit nor assume reproach for its beginning; therefore, Christianity is not deemed a man's religion, but again, a cog in the logic of God. Also, as a reflection of his relationship with the Israeli people, Christianity, and Christ, serves as a catalyst to the fulfillment of a world originated and operated by its creator. Beyond all reasoning of man, the destiny of every nation relies on acknowledgement of the existence of God.

Supposedly founded on this belief, America is in the beginning to mid stages of disobedience to God. They also, will suffer punishment just as all other nations did who rose above the acknowledgement of God. Moreover, the institution of slavery served according to nature, as a devise used to build and to assess the character and faith of a nation, which is presently the white man.

The greatest myth circulating through the minds of many people, both black and white, is that slavery was ordained as a benefit to the black man because it introduced him to Christianity. However, it is evident that the black man, during the time of correlated rule of Egyptian and Ethiopian nations along side the Roman and Israeli nations, already knew of Christ; therefore, there is no way Christianity was new to the black man nor slavery as a benefit for him. Slavery is for the benefit of the oppressor, never the oppressed.

If there is, any benefit gained from the act of slavery for the oppressed and further justified as a religious one, it would have to be viewed from a biblical perspective and not a human one. Men are obviously ignorant to the biblical perspective if they have resorted to enslaving a nation, unless, they see the destiny of the enslaved in the form of deliverance and reward, and their own destiny as eternal punishment.

For, if the Pharaoh had known that Israel would, soon after freedom, establish their own system of government, and that his nation would self-destruct, he would have never enslaved Israel. Thus, the white man of America even in reasonable intelligence can never justify the enslavement of the black man as being a benefit to them without acknowledging that they, themselves, will soon fall to destruction.

Along with the supremacy theory comes arrogance, and arrogance is definitely a factor in the mentality of the white man. Arrogance is a highly deceiving mentality that blinds even the most highly intellectual mind aware of its deception. Unconsciously and unintentionally, white men have utilized the supremacy theory to his own ignorance. In other words, he is so overcome with, and wise in his arrogance, that he will never admit to there being a racial or inequality problem in this country and especially that he is the cause. Consideration is vital in understanding what goes on in the mind of a white person.

Putting ones self in the white man's position can enlighten anyone to why they think the way they do. If a person were born into the role of supremacy, in a country where the majority rules, and taught or even influenced by the situations that stereotype ethnic diversity to the extreme, they would automatically accept their role, unconsciously, as superior. If circumstances were reversed, and blacks were in power, they would have the exact same mentality; this is only natural. So the white man can never actually be blamed for their mindset, for it is a given in the course of humanity.

Expecting nothing less than arrogance from the white man is customary and is to be tolerated and understood by the black man, or any other minority group within his country. Yet, tolerance of "blatant bigotry" and unnecessary violence imposed on the enslaved or oppressed is extremely difficult to accept as natural, although, this too, is explainable as a characteristic under the influence and result of arrogance.

In addition to the white man never admitting that he is the sole reason for racial inequality and turmoil in this country, and many parts of the world, and that it is because of his arrogance that the problem will never be resolved, he, also unconsciously-intentionally, fights to maintain his superiority, substantiating the theory of group threat. Yet, in his mind, he is being as fair as possible to all people of the world where it pertains to survival and dispersion of the earth's resources.

Equality is a concern of his where it pertains to all men of the world so long as all men are equal among themselves, wittingly acknowledging him as supreme. He cannot help that he is in world authority; to him, it is the curse, and undoubtedly an act of nature that he is supreme. To the distress of many though, his acceptance as the world's gift to mankind exposes the arrogance by which he operates, and sometimes it is only by the distress of others that the good of humankind will be satisfied [in his mind].

When establishing the foundations of America, the white man was only doing what was best for those in whose land he extorted and those in whom he enslaved. He, the white man, was at the time all that counted in the world. All others were sources of negotiation, goods, or capital. Negotiations and trade among other nations, including African nations, were mere investments in the world's future. In other words, it was always business, never personal, until, white men began to realize that blacks, Asians, and Indians, had minds and could actually learn by being be taught. Before that, as stated before, they were only capital and property.

Once the white man reasoned that other ethnic cultures other than his own could contribute to the building of his nation did he begin to see them as actual humans. The assimilation of the three different cultures, African, European, and Indian, after so long a time of cohabiting with each other, enlightened the white man to the fact that he was, in so many words, possibly expendable. Therefore, he regressed to the defense of group threat, where members of the dominant group perceive that the minority group threatens their well-being. As a result, he adapted the mentality of protecting what was his to assure the future and betterment of the world. No one could ever assume the role in which nature had thus ordained him (the white man) to stand.

This is when the white man began to concoct a plan to deter the advancements of other nations. To do this he had to covet and own most of the world's resources to assure complete control of the world. Many nations would not bend to the conquest of the white man thus he resorted to schemes of compromise in the form of deception. He had to think and stay one step ahead of other nations or at least control something of value and need of that nation. So, when it was time to consider what the world needed to survive, he reasoned that oil, land, and many other amenities necessary for survival had to be under his control, thus, he approached the people whom occupied and lived on those resources and either forced them off, deceived them, or compromised a fraudulent deal with that country.

If actual resources could not do the trick then he resorted to what he knew best would restrain any opponents in case his treasures were threatened, which was violence. Moreover, to this day, it is by violence that he retains the world. Beyond that, he has no knowledge of how to maintain his power and authority over the world, for, in the event deception, force, or compromise fails, war is declared on whatever nation refuses his offer. Much like the mafia.
