I love all God's good people and I believe God meant for us all to live together. But I think the white folks have some issues they have to address and deal with to make a healthy symbiosis possible. When such issues are not dealt with, then there is a problem with maintaning the tradition of both sides. The field is not as open as some people think. I've heard twice of these Ugandan women whose deaths were suspicious to the members of their communities, and the perpetrators were believed to be the dead's husband. White. You'll say with the two cases I'm generalising. Okay. One thing I've seen on a wider range, most black African women here in Europe work like horses to support their white husbands. What perplexes me, they won't do it for a black guy. So, are we loosers or are we loosers?
Meli, God loves his creation, and he wants his creation to live happily together. He also set borders and different cultures, colors and tribes and languages for his beloved creation. He now wants us to live within our cultural boundaries and colors and languages. God can send you across the boarder, but that is for a particular specific purpose. Usually to serve him. We serve God in different capacities, not necessarily only as missionaries. At a future point in time however, people will be one family again.
Long ago all people were one, living together and speaking one language (Gen. 11:1). After the flood, they conspired to build a very high tower, Babel, where they hoped, among other things, that no flood would reach them. That is, in case God might become angry again and send another flood, even if he had promised not to do so.
If you put people of the same mind together, there is no limit to what they can do. People have some creative capability like that of God. He created us in his image. Great things may be accomplished when the undertakers are of the same mind and unanimous, and stir up one another.
"Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language. Nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. (Gen. 11:6)". If they continue as such, wickedness and profaneness will be insufferably rampant, for they will strengthen one another's hands in it. Their united motive was not obedience but disobedience to God (Gen. 11:4).
Today, people have regrouped as they did at the Babel times. I hear that they are now building a city in space.
God is able to blast and bring to nought all the devices and designs of "Babel-builders". God has various means, and effectual ones, to baffle and defeat the projects of proud men that set themselves against him, and particularly to divide them among themselves, either by dividing their spirits (Jdg. 9:23), or by dividing their tongues, as David prays, Ps. 55:9.
Back to the point, God mixed up the language of the people who were building the Babel tower. In other words God caused these builders to forget their former language, and to speak and understand a new one, which yet was common to those of the same tribe or family, but not to others: those of one colony could converse together, but not with those of another. That way God stopped the mischief they were up to. At that time, God created all the languages and tribes we have today. People who attempt to cross these cultural barriers, are meeting a stiff (divine) resistance.
Some whites know that the blacks are generally desparate to come to the white countries. There are many whites who are actually criminals, drug addicts, drunkards, whose society has rejected. And they have the money. So, they get these desparate black women, and literally enslave them. The most victimized country is Thailand (at least here where I am writing from). They make them work for them at almost no salary, force them to group sex, and any kind of humiliating sex acts you can think of and even death.
The question was "Black or White, what?". Put in other words, the question would sound like; "to stay within your tribe, group and language, or to go to the foreign groups what would do you prefer?
We cannot join hands when our tongues are twisted. If we cannot understand one another, we cannot help one another. When we do not understand one another, we cannot take pleasure in one another.
(a) Consider all the inconveniences we sustain by the diversity of languages, and all the pains and trouble we are at to learn the languages we have occasion for. (b) Think of those unhappy controversies which are strifes of words, and arise from our misunderstanding one another's language. (c) What we are in reality doing is an attempt to a rebellion, a type of our ancestors at Babel. It is to strive against a divine sentence, by which the languages of the nations will be divided while the world stands.
Therefore my answer would be; South, West, East or North, home is best.
