Is discrimination toward black people recommended in any way in the bible?

    No. Black people are shown in a respectful light throughout the Bible:

    1.-The Ethiopian eunuch was approached by a disciple of Jesus respectfully and his questions were taken seriously. In fact, an angel of the Lord TOLD him to approach this man specifically and to help him. He had a high position in the court of Queen Candace (title name for the Queens of Ethiopia). So obviously God wanted to include these people in his kingdom and help the Ethiopians come to him.

    2.-The prophet Moses married an Ethiopian woman. When his sister Miriam spoke out against her, she was struck with leprosy for a time. Her brother Aaron who followed her in the wrongdoing was punished later by not being allowed to enter the Promised Land.

    3.- Jeremiah 8:21: For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

    4.-Song of Solomon 5 v. 11: His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

    5.- Joseph married a black woman named Asenath. She was the mother of his two sons, both of whom were blessed by his father Jacob.

    6.- Ebed-melech who was an Ethiopian eunuch saved the life of Jeremiah, the prophet. Scriptures: Jeremiah 38:7-13; 39:16. This Ethiopian was also in the king’s house.

    7.-In Amos Chapter 9 and verse 7, God compares the children of Israel to the people of Ethiopia in a good way…as if it was a blessing to be like that group of people.

    8.-Zephaniah one of the writers of the Old Testament was called the son of “Cushi.” The land of Cush is the area now known as Ethiopia. He was obviously black.

    9.- Zephaniah 3:9 "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering..."

    10.- Exodus 2:19: They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

    Black people made up the majority of the bible and we're once rulers of the land. Nimrod, Abraham, Issac , Jacob , Christ, David, Samuel....all black.

    If it did, you should burn it. Dont even think the bible is true but is a weapon to scare people and create crazy people.
