I find it more amusing that some Christian groups in America have tossed out the teachings of Jesus and are proclaiming their message of racial superiority or exclusion as “Christian”.

Didn't slavers do the same thing? It's not really that new.

Not exactly. Yes they claimed they were superior, but they also claimed that slavery was a good thing and sanctioned by the Bible. It was the best thing that could happened to those they saw as inferior. Jesus, in their minds, would approve of the great good that slavery represented.
