The Lord has not kept them in store for five or six thousand years past, and kept them waiting for their bodies all this time to send them among the Hottentots, the African negroes, the idolatrous Hindoos, or any other of the fallen nations of the earth.
It says a lot about the ridiculousness of people who insist their insane ramblings, Lekhraj Kirpalani included, are the unerrable words of God and they are saints, angels and prophets spouting "scripture". For scripture, read Shrimat and remember that the BK used to and still teaches that the utterances of their top dogs is "Shrimat", equal to the words of God and somehow magically insured so if followed nothing wrong will happen to you.
The BKs are burdened with their adoption of "the Law of Karma" from Hinduism (it is no law). Of course, even in Hinduism there are a variety of understandings about how karma might work but the BKs don't bother about that. It's kept simple ... all the bad that happens to you is your own fault.
Therefore, by the BK philosophy, all the bad things and racism that happened to black people happened because it was ... THEIR OWN FAULT! They must have been racists in their last life. It is as simple as that. No need to think about sociology, social justice, politics or the evils of capitalism ... according to the BKs, everything from slavery to the Holocaust and child abuse is the victims own fault.
Now, you might find it hard to catch one of their leaders saying this in public now, they are too aware of the bad PR value of it, but you are likely to catch one of their followers out. Are the BKs institutionally racist? In theory, probably not. All human beings are sparkling points of white light ... souls ... and the body is just a costume. However, on the other hand, they don't have any high ranking black leaders.
There was a saying around Gandhi's time in South Africa that went
"The whites looked down on the blacks, and the blacks looked down on the whites ... and the Indians looked down on both of them".
The BKs certainly have their own brand of Sindi/Indian supremacism going on and within that, moreso in the early days and at a popular level there are elements of caste-ism in which lighter skin is valued more highly.
In the records of the 1930s, Lekhraj Kirpalani is accused of preferring light skinned Sisters. In the 70s and early 80s, we used to joke about their preferences in using blondes for service. The future gods and goddesses are all portrayed with very light or white skin. There are very few to no dark skinned "Dravidian" Indians in the higher echelons of the BKWSU. India is, of course, the center of the world and the original pure land and used to be portrayed, hysterically, as a perfect India-shaped island floating alone in the world in an otherwise empty ocean.
Therefore, I would say racism is probably the wrong word ... but Sindi/Hindi Supremacism would be fair. Even White BK converts have or are seen with a little bit of suspicion. They used to be "useful for service", for impressing non-BK indians the BKs must be onto something, but I guess they are less of a novelty now.
