*PREJUDICE & RACISM

BY WILLIE WONG
1Ti 5:21, “I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.”
Prejudice in Greek is prokrima which means bias; a prejudgment; prefer one before another; an opinion formed before the facts are known; an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race; — which occurs 1 time in the New Testament.
- ) Christian do not show prejudice.
Jas 2:1, “My brothers and sisters, do not show prejudice if you possess faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.”
Christians do not how prejudice.
Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges
Ch. James 2:1-13. Respect of Persons
1. have not the faith …] Better, do not hold. The Greek for “respect of persons” (better, perhaps, acceptance of persons) is in the plural, as including all the varied forms in which the evil tendency might shew itself, and stands emphatically immediately after the negative. The name of “our Lord Jesus Christ” is used obviously with a special force. He had shewn Himself, through His whole life on earth, to be no “respecter of persons” (Matthew 22:16), to have preferred the poor to the rich. There was a shameful inconsistency when those who professed to hold the faith which had Him as its object acted otherwise. To the name of the Lord Jesus is added the description “the Lord of Glory.” The first two words are not repeated in the Greek, but the structure of the English sentence requires their insertion. The motive of the addition is clear. In believing in Him who was emphatically a sharer in the Eternal Glory (John 17:5), who had now returned to that Glory, men ought to feel the infinite littleness of all the accidents of wealth or rank that separate man from man. This seems the most natural construction, but the position of the words “of glory” is anomalous, and some have joined it with “faith” either as a genitive of the object “faith in the future glory,” or as a characterising attribute = “the glorious faith.”
2.) Prejudice is sin.
Jas 2:9, “But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators.”
Many do not know that showing prejudice is committing sin.
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin – You transgress the plain law of God, and do wrong. See the references on James 2:1.
And are convinced of the law as transgressors – Greek “By the law.” The word convinced is now used in a somewhat different sense from what it was formerly. It now commonly refers to the impression made on a man’s mind by showing him the truth of a thing which before was doubted, or in respect to which the evidence was not clear. A man who doubted the truth of a report or a proposition may be convinced or satisfied of its truth; a man who has done wrong, though he supposed he was doing what was proper, may be convinced of his error. So a man may be convinced that he is a sinner, though before he had no belief of it, and no concern about it; and this may produce in his mind the feeling which is technically known as conviction, producing deep distress and anguish. See the notes at John 16:8. Here, however, the word does not refer so much to the effect produced on the mind itself, as to the fact that the law would hold such an one to be guilty; that is, the law pronounces what is done to be wrong. Whether they would be personally convinced of it, and troubled about it as convicted sinners, would be a different question, and one to which the apostle does not refer; for his object is not to show that they would be troubled about it, but to show that the law of God condemned this course, and would hold them to be guilty. The argument here is not from the personal distress which this course would produce in their own minds, but from the fact that the law of God condemned it.”
3.) Prejudice can be ethnocentric.
Take Traditional Chinese Medicine for example. Not all Chinese Medicine are good and right. No one is God who is always true and has all the truths. Science is seeking truth based on facts. The task and job of Science and Modern Medicine is to sort out what is true and good in Chinese Medine, and what are sheer superstitions. The mysteries of accupuncture must be solved once and for all. Right now an expert accupuncturalist with traditional secret can do an accupucature without pain and produce good results. While other accupuncturalists do the same thing with pain and no good results. Accupucture should become a medical procedure, any trained personnel should produce the same result.
Chinese herbal medicine must go through rigorous modern pharmaceutical methods by turning boiling herb medications into pills, tablets, syrrup, capsules, ointments, inhalants, injections, powders, liquid forms, sprays, etc.
According to https://slife.org/traditional-chinese-medicine/
“Acupuncture is often accompanied by moxibustion – the Chinese characters for acupuncture (simplified 针灸; traditional 針灸; pinyin: zhēnjiǔ) literally meaning “acupuncture-moxibustion” – which involves burning mugwort on or near the skin at an acupuncture point. According to the American Cancer Society, “available scientific evidence does not support claims that moxibustion is effective in preventing or treating cancer or any other disease”.
At the moment, apparently it is still very far from solving the mysteries of accupuncture. Why an expert with traditional secret can do accupuncture without pain and with good results? And why other accupuncturalists do accupunctue with pain and produce no positive results? The days should come when accupuncture is a medical procedure which any trained accupucturalist should produce the same result.
Basically there are two kinds of prejudice, personal and racial.
- ) Personal prejudice
If you go to American South, you will find prejudice is so deep and vast. It is a misnomer to call the South the Bible Belt, it should be called the Racial Belt. It is a shame to Christianity to call the South the Bible Belt. You will discover the American people of the South do not really believe and practice what the Bible teaches. Racial prejudice is so deep and vast in the American South, most like every white is born with the attitude that he/she is born superior, and naturally looks down all other races. If you compare Americans of the West and Americans of the South, prejudice stands up high in the sky of the South. Actually the South is backward, it cannot match with the achievements of the rest of America. The cultural shock is unbearable. I was once to the South on a businees trip. Attending a Mangement Club which supposed to have the best facility. It was a realy shock to enter a toilet facility: You saw a man who was having bowel movement sitting in the middle, while all men who urinated standing against the wall. Privacy did not exist. I thank God that I never live in the South.
Here is an exmaple of personal prejustice, or apparent racism in the Bible.
Jhn 4:7-26, “A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples
had gone away to the city to buy food. So the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How is it that You,
though you are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, though I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews
do not associate with Samaritans.)
John 4:9. Then saith the woman, How is it that thou, being a Jew — As it appears by thy habit and dialect thou art; askest drink of me, &c., for the Jews have no dealings — Or rather, no friendly intercourse; with the Samaritans — They would receive no kind of favour from them. That the expression, no dealings, as Dr. Campbell justly observes, “implies too much to suit the sense of this passage, is manifest from the preceding verse, where we are told, that the disciples were gone into the Samaritan city Sychar to buy food. The verb συγχραομαι, is one of those called απαξ λεγομενα, once used: it does not occur in any other place of the New Testament, or in the Septuagint. The Pharisees were in their traditions nice distinguishers. Buying and selling with the Samaritans were permitted, because that was considered as an intercourse merely of interest or convenience; borrowing and lending, much more asking or accepting any favour, was prohibited; because that was regarded as an intercourse of friendship, which they thought it impious to maintain with those whom they looked upon as the enemies of God.”
Jesus replied to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
She said to Him, “Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get this living water?
“You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well and drank of it himself, and his sons and his cattle?”
Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again; but
whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty, nor come all the way here to draw water.”
Verse 15. – The woman has not yet emerged out of the region of her physical desires and her daily requirements, and needs a deeper apprehension of her real necessities. By reason of the subsequent narrative she ought not to be credited now with impertinence or irony (Lightfoot, Tholuck). She could not understand the miraculous water of which the Stranger spake, but had some dim notion that he might be able to deliver her from her toilsome and exhausting life. She replies to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. The Lord had spoken of eternal life, and she is content to have temporal satisfaction to the extent of thirsting no more. Some commentators, with Lange and Hengstenberg, suppose that the journey to Jacob’s well was in her mind a quasi-religious act, the insufficiency of which to meet her case is at length becoming apparent. This view seems to us inconsistent with the sudden change of metaphor and alteration of his method of approach to this woman’s consciousness and need. He resolved rather to search her heart and reveal her to herself – to bring forth from its hiding place the torpid conscience, and reveal to her the grievous need in which she stood of that Divine cleansing, healing, nutrition, refreshment, which he had been sent into the world to supply. This reflection renders the reply of Jesus less obscure than its abrupt transition seems to imply. John 4:15.”
He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.” The woman answered and said to Him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’; for you have
had five husbands, and the one whom you now
have is not your husband; this which you have said is true.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.”
Jesus said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
“You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.
Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
The woman saith unto him, Sir,…. With another countenance, and a different air and gesture, with another accent and tone of speech, dropping her scoffs and jeers:
I perceive that thou art a prophet; such an one as Samuel was, who could tell Saul what was in his heart, and that his father’s asses were found, and where they were, 1 Samuel 9:19; and as Elisha, whose heart went with his servant Gehazi, when Naaman turned to him to meet him, and give him presents; and who could tell, ere the king’s messenger came to him, that the son of a murderer had sent to take away his head, 2 Kings 5:26. And such a prophet, that had such a spirit of discerning, this woman took Christ to be; and who indeed is greater than a prophet, and is the omniscient God; who knows all men’s hearts, thoughts, words and actions, and needs not that any should testify of them to him; for he knows what is in them, and done by them; and can tell them all that ever they did, as he did this woman, John 4:29. Now in order either to shift off the discourse from this subject, which touched her to the quick; or else being truly sensible of her sin, and willing to reform, and for the future to worship God in the place and manner he had directed, she addressed Christ in the following words.”
“But the time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges
23. the hour cometh] As before, there cometh an hour. What follows, and it is now here, could not be added in John 4:21. The local worship on Gerizim and Zion must still continue for a while; but there are already a few who are rising above these externals to the spirit of true worship, in which the opposition between Jew and Samaritan disappears.
the true worshippers] The same word for ‘true’ as in John 1:9 (see note there); ‘true’ as opposed to what is ‘spurious’ and ‘unreal.’ Worship to be genuine, real, and perfect must be offered in spirit and truth.
in spirit] This is opposed to all that is carnal, material, and of the earth earthy;—‘this mountain,’ the Temple, limitations of time and place. Not that such limitations are wrong; but they are not of the essence of religion, and become wrong when they are mistaken for the essence of religion.
in truth] (Omit ‘in’) i.e. in harmony with the Nature and Will of God. In the sphere of intellect, this means recognition of His Presence and Omniscience; in the sphere of action, conformity with His absolute Holiness. ‘Worship in spirit and truth,’ therefore, implies prostration of the inmost soul before the Divine Perfection, submission of every thought and feeling to the Divine Will.
for the Father seeketh, &c.] Better, for such the Father also seeketh for His worshippers. ‘Such’ is very emphatic; ‘this is the character which He also desires in His worshippers.’ The ‘also’ must not be lost. That worship should be ‘in spirit and truth’ is required by the fitness of things: moreover God Himself desires to have it so, and works for this end. Note how three times in succession Christ speaks of God as the Father (John 4:21; John 4:23): perhaps it was quite a new aspect of Him to the woman.”
The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One
comes, He will declare all things to us.” Jesus
said to her, “I AM He, the One speaking to you.”
Verse 26. – Jesus saith unto her, I that am talking with thee am he. Jesus does utter to the Samaritan woman the truth about himself which he withholds from the sensuous Galilaeans and the carping scribes. Throughout she is susceptible, inquiring, anxious for her own sake to know. The idea she entertained about Messiah would put no obstacle in the way of our Lord’s admission, whereas the opposite idea, the passionate longing for a political revolution, led him to silence others, and even among his disciples to reserve the sublime fact as their sacred secret (cf. Matthew 8:4; Matthew 16:20; Matthew 17:9; Mark 8:30). The truth communicated to this woman was of supreme importance and of universal interest. Our Lord admitted his Messiahship, but of the deeper truths of his incarnation, of the nature of the birth from above, of the Divine life and love, of the means of redemption, and the principles of judgment, he says nothing. Nicodemus learns of both “earthly and heavenly things;” the Samaritaness receives some practical principles. Yet the two conversations are complementary to each other, and throw upon each other reciprocally floods of light. Moreover, there is the same parabolic speech in both; the same habit of mind. It is the same Teacher who uses “the wind” and “the water of the well” to illustrate great spiritual ideas. John 4:26.”
To be honest, even a Japanese asked me for a drink I would be willing even though I consider Japanese are enemies of Chinese.
Luk 10:30-37, “Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the
other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan who was on a journey came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring
oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own
animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’
Verse 33. – But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. Now, for the sake of strong contrast, Jesus paints on his canvas the figure of one who, as a Samaritan, was as far removed as possible from being a neighbour to the sufferer (who, most probably, was a Jew) in the sense in which the austere Jewish lawyer would of himself understand the term “neighbour”, The Samaritan, hated of the Jews, and most probably, in common with the rest of his nation, hating them – he, in his turn, was journeying along the ill-omened “Way of Blood;” he too sees, like the priest, the form of the man, wounded perhaps to death, lying by the way, and, like the Levite, draws near to look on the helpless sufferer; but, unlike priest and Levite, stays by the wounded man, and, regardless of peril, trouble, or expense, does his best to help the helpless. Luke 10:33.”
Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed compassion to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
Verse 33. – But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. Now, for the sake of strong contrast, Jesus paints on his canvas the figure of one who, as a Samaritan, was as far removed as possible from being a neighbour to the sufferer (who, most probably, was a Jew) in the sense in which the austere Jewish lawyer would of himself understand the term “neighbour”, The Samaritan, hated of the Jews, and most probably, in common with the rest of his nation, hating them – he, in his turn, was journeying along the ill-omened “Way of Blood;” he too sees, like the priest, the form of the man, wounded perhaps to death, lying by the way, and, like the Levite, draws near to look on the helpless sufferer; but, unlike priest and Levite, stays by the wounded man, and, regardless of peril, trouble, or expense, does his best to help the helpless. Luke 10:33.”
This is the meaning, Mat 22:39, “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
Verse 39. – The second. The scribe had not asked any question about a second commandment: but Christ is not satisfied with propounding an abstract proposition; he shows how this great precept is to be made practical, how one command involves and leads to the other. Like unto it; ὁμοία αὐτῇ: in nature and extent, of universal obligation, pure and unselfish. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. From Leviticus 19:18. The verb, both here and ver. 37, is ἀγαπήσεις, which implies, not mere animal or worldly affection (φιλέω), but love from the highest moral considerations, without self-interest, holy. The Latins indicated this difference by amo and diligo. Our “neighbour” is every one with whom we are concerned, i.e. virtually all men. He is to be loved because he is God’s image and likeness, heir of the same hope as we ourselves, and presented to us as the object on and by which we are to show the reality of our love to God. “This commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also” (1 John 4:21). And for the measure of our love to man, we have Christ’s word in another place (Matthew 7:12), “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” Matthew 22:39.”
The Jews also practiced racial prejudice by attacking Jesus, Jhn 8:48, “The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?”
Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges
- Then answered the Jews] The best MSS. omit the particle, which if it were genuine should be rendered ‘therefore,’ not ‘then:’ The Jews answered. This denial of their national prerogative of being sons of God seems to them malicious frenzy. He must be an enemy of the peculiar people and be possessed.
Say we not well] i.e. rightly: comp. John 4:17, John 13:13, John 18:23. ‘We’ is emphatic; ‘we at any rate are right.’
that thou art a Samaritan] “Nowhere else do we find the designation ‘a Samaritan;’ yet it might naturally—we might say inevitably—be given to one who seemed to attack the exclusive privileges of the Jewish people.” S. pp. 159, 160. It is therefore a striking touch of reality, and another instance of the Evangelist’s complete familiarity with the ideas and expressions current in Palestine at this time. Possibly this term of reproach contains a sneer at His visit to Samaria in chap. 4, and at His having chosen the unusual route through Samaria, as He probably did (see on John 7:10), in coming up to the Feast of Tabernacles. The parable of the Good Samaritan was probably not yet spoken.
and hast a devil] It is unfortunate that we have not two words in our Bible to distinguish diabolos, ‘the Devil’ (John 8:44, John 13:2; Matthew 4:1; Luke 8:12; &c., &c.), from daimonion or daimôn, ‘a devil,’ or ‘unclean spirit.’ ‘Fiend,’ which Wiclif sometimes employs (Matthew 12:24; Matthew 12:28; Mark 1:34; Mark 1:39, &c.), might have been used, had Tyndale and Cranmer adopted it: demon would have been better still. But here Tyndale, Cranmer, and the Geneva Version make the confusion complete by rendering ‘and hast the devil,’ a mistake which they make also in John 7:20 and John 10:20. The charge here is more bitter than either John 7:20 or John 10:20, where it simply means that His conduct is so extraordinary that He must be demented. We have instances more similar to this in the Synoptists; Matthew 9:34; Matthew 12:24; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15.”
- ) Racism
Everyone knows that in America whites practice racism againt Blacks, and white Americans also practice racism against all other races. You won’t know this unless you studied, worked and lived all your life in America. American corporations also practice racism: I was always underemployed and underpaid. I discovered one Human Resources Department threw away my certificate of master’s degree. Why? When audited, they could say the minority only had a bacherlor degree. I was always more educated and qualified than my supervisors. When I was hired by a white manager, he did not even have a college degree. I know a colleague of mine who was a Korean American who had a CPA. The Vice president of finance, the controller, and her supervisor did not have a CPA. I told her not to think about it otherwise she would be unhappy all her life. Find outside interest. That was why every year during my 3-week vacation I lectured at major universities in China. Chinese professors and students gave me great respect. I also knew a Chinese employee who had CPA and she was treated even worse. The
whole world knows about how bad white racism discriminates against Blacks and other minorities. The world does not know about Black racism which is culturally croader and crueller than White racism.
This is not prejudice or racism. It is a statement of facts. For 500 years there is not one developed, self-sufficent and solvent Black country in Africa. Africans do not like work and hard work. They like games and sports. Africans like to sing and dance, eat and get fat, drink beer and enjoy sex, they produce a lot of children they cannot afford to support. Any nation who shares destinies with Africa is going to doom. No amount of resources can fill the Black hole. There is one thing that outsiders do not know: Blacks also practice racial discrimination. They are more brutal and crude than white managers. Thank God I never had a black supervisor. There are many psychopathic supervisors of whites and blacks. They trample on their subordinates as corporate bosses, and made employees very unhappy.
One Black man told me because of Affirmative Action although his GPA was 2.0 he got in UCLA Medical School, while many Chinese students with GPA of 4.0 could not get in a medical school. Because of Affirmative Action many unqualifed Blacks were hired. I met a Black woman at SEC who could not do simple arithmatics. She was GS 7 and I was GS 5. As a Personnel Director told me he would not want to go to Civil Service Commission with many mouths speaking against him. So many Blacks got good positions in government and industries because of Affirmative Action. One Asian woman asked me to pick up an application at a Post Office. The Black women bodily blocked the entrance not to let me in to pick up an application form. You wonder why so many Blacks worked at Post Office. One Chinese worker told me he could not get a janatorial job at a big corporation because the Black Union would not let him. I knew a Black employee who was good for nothing, he got promoted because the Black vice president of finance spoke on his behalf. The stories can go on and on…
6.) Prejudice and Racism
To properly evaluate the American society, I have to assess three major aspects of my life in America for almost half a century: studying, working, living.
A.) I studied.
I worked my way through college and university, I was desperately poor, a son of poor missionaries. So poor that I invented to use the throw-way computer papers on the other side for my note books. I cut my own hair. I discovered to use icecream to keep me awake at night for doing school work. I discovered to use dye to refill my yellow highligter. I discovered how to use 5 minutes to cook a delicious meal… In fact college and university only care about GPA, if you have good grade, you would have no problem. Howver, problems can come from other places. Although the population of Los Angeles City College the majority were white, but we had a black student president, etc. One day they wanted to shut down the college, the year I transferred to the University. I suspected the college president was a weakling, the California Governor Reagan had no jurisdiction… So out of necessity I wrote a powerful letter appealing to President Nixon. Unexpectedly President Nixon sent two FBI agents to investigate the LACC black student riots. Consequently the college was never closed, I was smoothly transferred to the University. Henceforth, I was a follower and supporter of President Richard Nixon. President Nixon wanted to end the Vietnam War but the Vietcongs were not responsive. I wrote a letter to the French President George Pompidoo asking him for help. To my surprise he sent a personal card with signature. Later I learned from July’s book that President Pompidoo did help to end the Vietname War behind the scene.
I was lucky to be a graduate student of Dr. Harold Koontz, the first time I learned and saw what a world class professor was. It was almost impossible that I became his friend, for a famous professor does not make friends with his students. When I was doing consulting, my supervior said it was fine to invite Dr. Koontz for dinner, the company would pay for it.
After I obtained my MPA, the UNIVERSITY urged me to go on for PH.D. I did not need to apply, they would take care of everything because they knew that I had completed 45 quarter credits, UC GPA 3.700.
60 quarter credits is Ph.D. I turned down the offer because I had been poor for a long, long time.
A prospective employeer asked for a set of my transcripts. I wrote to the Registrar. The Registrar sent only the transcripts of my Bachelor Degree. Little I know in this world there are people who had malice and ill will and did not want you to succeed. Some people at the Registrar might think that a minority cannot earn and does not deserve to have a Master’s degree from a world-famous university and so they withheld it. Another incident was due to Nixon’s connection, someone from Washington, D.C. interviewed me. The woman in charge of Placememt was infurious.
B.) I worked.
In all my career in America, I was always underemployed and underpaid. I was always more educated and more qualified than my supervisors. A white manager who hired me did not even have a college degree. The HR of a corporation discarded the certificate of my master’s degree. Why? When audited, they could say the minority had only a bachelor degree. At American corporations, I met some bad and wicked people, had I not need to work for a living, I would never had met them in this world or the world to come.
The best company I had worked for was McDonnell Douglas. One thing I regreted immensely. The top managemnt of McDonnell Douglas was a good and sound man. They made a strategic mistake like Kodak and others. I really believe it with all my heart, had I appeared at McDonnel Douglas in 1990, had I been given all the authority and powers, I could have saved the corporation. At its peak in mid 1990, McDonnell
Douglas employed 132,500 people. There were bad vice presidents, bad directors, bad managers, bad psychopathic supervisors, and bad employees. I dicovered one employee who owned a travel agency and used McDonnell Douglas copy machine to make large quantity of travel agency commercials for distribution. There were people in the Corporation who worked for themselves and they got high pay.
I additionally conducted Management Seminars that earned great reputation and respect from managers and supersivors; and one middle manager was hostile about my management seminars, and it took one management seminar to turn him around. Because the management seminars earned much reputation that even the excutive Vice President of Administration wanted to participate. I told him that would not work because I conducted management seminars in an open and free discusion fashion. Everyone was entitled to his/her opinions, but when the Exeucutive Vice President participated, the middle mangers would not dare to express their opinions. If you think American corporations would welcome people of talents, you are sorely mistaken. They played up the achievements of whites and played down the achievements of minorities. When a minority achieved fame because of his knowledge and education, when he acquired power without authority, when middle managers flocked to his office to consult him, the upper mangement would envy and target to pin him down. What they wanted was a pack of obedient dogs.
But one Executive Vice Presiden called Jim King was so different and so distinguished that you would never heard of such a move. One day in his staff meeing (my supervisor was there, I was not qualified to attend), he suddenly announced to appoint me in charge of a special corporate project, and put Vice President of finance, Controller, and a general manager under my direction. You never heard of the practice of putting a staff specialist in charge of a corporate project and line supervisors under his direction. Mr. King was so adamant to give me a bonus of $2,000 when the project was completed while Uncle Sam took half of it.
Working at several corporations, I had the impression that some Corporate executives and top mangement did not understand what management was about. It was not enough to get approval and support from the top managemnt for any corporate projects. Some vice presidents, directors, mangers, and employees would work against you because they did not want you to succeed. To succeed means to get promotion and get a raise in salary. Many do not know there is such an undercurrent in American corporations. You wonder why American corporations are not doing well. How can corporations do well when they work against each other? American corporations are great battlefields. That is why American corporations are unhappy places. I have not gone into details how psychopathic supervisors mistreated and abused their subordinates.
- ) I lived.
If you can afford, do not live in Black or Latino neighborhoods. This is not a prejudice or racism, it is a statement of fact. I knew a kindest and good Japanese woman called Mary Sato. In early days they made a mistake of buying a house in a Black neighborhood; she could not move away because they could not sell the house. Mary Satao told me that she knew that I worked my way through college. A package of noodle used to sell 10 cents. When it was on sale, that you can get 12 packages for $1, she would buy them for me. Bless Mary Sato. Twelve packages of noodle I can make 12 meals.
I used to live in a Latino neighborhood, Winnetka. The apartment complex was owned by a Chinese who treated me very well. Latinos are more complicated because they refer peoples of various Latin American countries. One thing was perculiar, they did not behave like normal people. In the middle of parking lot they fixed their car, so that people cannot get in or out with their cars. A parking space was assigned to two cars with two poles. Once a Latino overparked his car that my car could not get in. When the apartment manager called the man, his wife said he was asleep. One day I discovered my hood was poured with acids that it looked so bad. One day my bathroom window was hit by a rock. You now know why I said if you can afford, do not live in a Latino neighborhood.
Although Blacks representing 15.2% of the total American population, Latinos now constitute approximately 20% of the total US population, majority of prison population are Blacks and Latinos. The overwhelming majority of people on welfare are also Blacks and Latinos. Majority of crooks and criminals are Blacks and Latinos. Although majority of prostitutes are white, but they are flocked by a black pimp. Socialogists have not discovered the secret why a group of young white women would willingly sell their bodies to support the luxurious life style of a Black pimp. As a matter of fact, you would never find a Chinese prostitute and a Chinese pimp in America. The majority of illegal drug offenders and users are also Blacks and Latinos.
The Black officials are in safe districts because blacks always vote for black officials. Year after year, they accumulate seniority. The politics of Congress are based on security, not morality and ability. That is why you have a black House majority leader. Once a black is elected, he/she has it for life.
A black preacher was famous, but he was certified by the FBI as an immoral person, and he also preached a false gospel. Blacks congregations usually protect their adulterous preachers. A White Christian lady told me that white congregations do the same with their White pastors.
At present Japan is the most evil country in the world. This is not prejudice or racism. It is the statement of facts.
Japanese committed 14 years of aggression against China, committed most inhuman atrocities and brutalities, hid 731 unit of bio-chemical war crimes, made thousands of women sex slaves conveniently called comfort women, made millions of slave workers, killed 56 million Chinese, rewrote the history so that the Japanese government and courts denied everything. Japan is claimed to practice democracy, but majority of Japanse citizens could not get rid of an evil female prime minister who acts like a dictator. Through the alliance with the US, Japan has revived militarism and changed no nuclear policy.
If you can afford, do not live in Anaheim, Buena Park, North Hollywood, Winnetka, etc. Bad apartment managers of bad cities not only give you bad services, they woud go to your apartment to check what you have when you go to work. They may steal from you even you cannot know. The apartment complex I stayed at Winnetka was owned by a Chinese who treated me well with respect. But the area is a Latino neighborhood.
If you are young, can dry, have a good education and have a good job, there is no place in America like Orange County, California, where it is not hot in the summer and not cold in the winter. After the rain, Orange Country looks beatiful. The two nicest towns I used to live were Fullerton and Cypress. Talking about Orange Country makes me nostalgic even though I have been to the nicest places in the world. The streets and roads of Fullerton are the best built that I know. Even under heavy rain there are no floods or waters on streets and roads. One day I was driving, suddently all cars stopped in front. I wondered what happened: it was an old lady crossing the street, so all cars stopped for her. If it was in Los Angeles, the old lady would have been dead by a hit and run.
Cypress was the small town I have stayed most of my life in America. The apartment was built in a special way that I can see strangers knocking at my door but strangers cannot see me. The Postal Service is perhalps the best in the world. It has a big locker. When I ordered a big book, the package came when I was at work. It was not convenient for me to pick up the package at the Post Office. The Postal Worker would leave the big package in the locker and the key in my mail box. So I can used the key to get my package conveniently. But I had one thing against the City. Every year I spent 3-weeks lecturing at major universities in China and vacationing in Hangzhou. I noticed that even though I had no electricity usage for 3 weeks, the electric bill by Edison power company did not go down. So I complained to Edison, the female representative had the gall to say they did not charge customers according to usage. What is the problem with American justice? Big busineess like Pacific Telephone would unilatrally changed your long distance carrier and sent you a bill; all car repairs were crooked and unreliable; and many fraudulent American corporations, you would need to hire a lawyer to fight them. The legal fees may be bigger than the loss recovered.
The worst city I had lived in America was Washington, D.C. It was both dirty and dangerous. However, Smithsonian Institutions were incredible. Maybe the only good things of Washington.D.C.
My first website was called Chinese for China sponsored my Muzi company. It was so popular the Google made comercials for the U.S. government and president Bush, etc. This was how American corporations work, Google made good money without permission by the owner of the website. American corporations can reap the benefits of your labor and do not violate the law. Muzi failed to protect my website, it was trashed, vandalized and profaned that I gave up and abandoned the site.
Los Angeles Daily News picked my name and address out of telephone book and sent me a bill and by a collection agency that if I don’t pay, they threaten to ruin my credit. Well I had New York Times without pay, why would I subscribe to an insignificant daily? Luckily because I was in charge of corporate policy, I had to work with a lawyer. I told the lawyer about the black mail. He kindly picked up the phone and told Los Angels Daily that I never subscribed to the paper and owed nothing. The Los Angeles Daily apologized and called it a mistake. This is the American justice and the newpaper should pay hefty damages for false accusation and fraud.
If California is without earthquakes, it would be the best country in the world. There are so many nice cities you can choose to live in Orange County. Still I tell you, in America you would be troubled by crooks and criminals that you need to pay a lawyer to fight them off.
Every year I went to China lecturing and vacationing. Once I found out my name was not on the list, the travel agency (owned by Vietnamese Chinese) issued me a bogus ticket. The person in charge of China Airlines was so angry that she wanted to take the license and put the agency out of business.
THE American healthcare is the most costly in the world. Outsiders do not know why. I had a horrible personal experience to find out. The American healthcare is an organized crime licensed by doctors and hospital owners to overcharge and defraud patients so much so it is tantamount to healthcare terrorism and terrorists. The Department of Justice is blind to the fact doctors also own the hospital, in violation of antitrust laws. If you are employed by a large corporation, you are covered by medical insurance, you do not have to worry. Because the hospital would bill the insurance company directly. Unfortunately, I was unemployed and had no insurance at that time, I had kidney stone. So I went to Anaheim General Hospital Emergency Department, not knowing like a sheep to be slaughtered. I was hospitalized for one night, the small room with two patients but charged higher than a luxurious hotel with deluxe room. One doctor of the Emergency Department talked to me, it reminded me of the Scripture, 1Ti 4:2, “by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron.” They were liars and hypocrites trained for greed that their conscience was cauterized by love of money, like the Mafia offered you what you cannot refuse. I received a computer printout of many pages using Esoteric-Medical-Technical terminology that a Ph.D. could not understand. Insurance companies have people who can read Esoteric-Medical-Technical terminology, so they refused some charges, But insurance companies charge high premiums. Even though I did not have surgery, I was charged for instruments and dressings. They even charged my own underwear. So I protested to the hospital billing department, The woman of billing told me they could dig out even more charges, that means they can “manufacture” or “make up” more changes. I complained and sent the bill to the Department of Justice. The female director would not hear it. I realized it is a Department of Injustice. No US Government (department or agency) would stop and penalize doctors and hospital owners from committing fraudulent billing. They can violate the laws with immunity and indemnity. There was no recourse. I knew a case that a young black woman came to hospital for abortion. Three doctors were assigned to take care of her or to get pay. It was ALL covered by MEDICAID. I thought I worked very hard, I could not afford even one doctor. There three doctors, one can change dressing, another changed dressing again, and another can come just to wave and say hello — all will be paid by MEDICAID. No government agency would investigate how much frauds committed through charges to MEDICAID AND MEDICARE.Another smaller case that I hurt my thumb and went to La Palma Emergency. They took X-RAY and provided a very unprofessional device to support my thumb but charged a great deal. The doctors said I had arthritis. The even called me home to have treatment for my arthritis. Funny was after 30 years I do not have arthritis. In fact an American doctor said for my age I have very good hands.

Right before my eyes many countries have changed for the worse. The world is getting worse and worse. According to the eschatology prophecy, in the last days things will get worse and worse. There is no hope for the world. The greatest event to take place in the universe is the second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is coming to reign for ever and ever because He is the King of kings and Lord of lords–the blessed only Sovereign. I am eagerly waiting for the Kingdom of Heaven where there will be joy, justice, love, peace, righteousness, and truth time without end.
If you repent of your sins and believe in the Lord Jesus as your God and Savior, you may also inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

All African nations, South America, Asia and the world, where can you find a country which does not have large national debts and deficits? Africa is different because for 500 years, not one country has become self-sufficient and solvent, they glorify with their primitive cultures and brag about their scientists and experts, joy to kill each other. International aid actually fuel their official corruption. Any nation that shares destinies with Africa will be doomed! No resources can fill the Black holes! The international community should leave Africa alone, let them do or die.
China modernization must focus that every village will have:
- ELECTRICTY
- RUNNING WATER TO DRINK AND WASH
- GAS TO COOK & HEAT
- INTERNET
- LIVELIHOOD
- NEW TOLET BY LAW
