Supremacists?

One of the most common accusations against kinists is white supremacism. While I think many of these attacks are propaganda (it's always easier to compare someone disliked to Nazi's or the KKK for the gut reaction is causes), this probably bears a little looking at. I am not going to dig up references for all that I say here. These are my observations from my extensive reading and numerous discussions. These are merely essays, not dissertations.

There is an implicit and explicit nature to racial views in kinism. There is definitely an explicit denial of white superiority in kinist writings, and there is certainly some truth in this. It is readily admitted that whites, as a group, do not have the highest IQ's of all the studied racial groupings. The concession is given that Ashkenazi Jews and East Asians have an edge in IQ tests. It is also given that blacks, on average, have superior athletic speed and quickness.

There is, however, often an implicit (occasionally explicit) disdain for other races. This is certainly not the case for all kinists. Some truly do not hold any ill will toward other races. The fact remains that kinism is a ready refuge for a number of those who would just as well see non-whites, most often blacks and Jews in particular, blotted from the face of the Earth, or at the very least, sent far away to their own lands.

Another observation of mine is the elevation of peoples of European descent as the standard bearers of Christ. Sometimes this comes across as a sort of Christian Identity-lite. Although there are many kinists who are opposed to British Israelism, kinism is definitely a refuge for some with these leanings. For those who believe that whites are the true genetic descendents of Israel there is little to add, but for the confessing reformed Christians who appear to make up the bulk of kinists, taking this as a matter of pride seems to result in a real conundrum. It is often argued that no other people have taken Christianity to the heights that the European peoples have. While there may be some great truth in this, one must believe, as a reformed Christian that this is a gift given by God alone to this group of people. However, the God who can make the stones cry out, can surely take this gift away from these people, as surely as he divorce himself from the Hebrews, and raise up another race of people as His light to the world, if that is His desire.
