Racism and Theology

It seems, as always, when something controversial happens there are endless people lining up to take advantage of the situation.
This INCLUDES.... members of various religious organizations. Everyone wants to seem to get a "pat" on the back for stating the obvious. Racism is horrific and easily avoided.
However, there is a very real problem with Racism in Christian Theology that has existed from the earliest times of the early NT church.
Most fundamentalist and evangelicals have this problem. Their theology promotes the Jewish race above all others. They do. There is no way to avoid it. This is a "stain" on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love the children of Abraham. I do. God knows I do, However, they have NO PROMISES that any other race of humanity doesn't have TOO.
ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE IN JESUS CHRIST. ALL OF THEM...... They are all equally available to the children of God. Equal access. Equal opportunity. Equal fulfillment to EVERY SINGLE RACE OF MAN. I'm not trying to "put down" the Jewish race. I'm just saying every man is equal in Adam....
Jesus wasn't called the second Abraham. He was called the second Adam. The promises of God are NOW, In their ENTIRETY..... available to all of the children of Adam.
The promotion of one race over another is WRONG. Even if that race is the Jewish race.
