Yeah, Bee, but you don't know exactly what Obama's concept of "God" is, do you? It might be quite different from what you imagine. Maybe even Obama is not entirely clear what his concept of "God" is, after all. (Most people are a bit unsure about the exact nature of the God they believe in...)

Rig - Well, what I meant was this:

Cultural racism - People of basically the same overall racial stock, such as the Scots and the English...or the English and the French...or the Iroquois and the Hurons...or the North and South in the Civil War...or the Japanese and the Chinese...attempt to destroy each other over their petty cultural differences.

Genetic racism - Blacks and Whites...or Asians and Europeans...or Whites and Amerindians...attempt to destroy each other over differences in basic racial type, which I think are differences that could be described as genetic in nature.

Every conflict seems to involve plenty of cultural racism, but a few also involve a specific form of racism based purely on race itself. If so, it will also be accompanied by the usual forms of cultural racism.

It all amounts to one simple, primitive, dumbass train of thought that is held in the mind of a moron: "They're different from us. That's really disturbing to me. Let's kill them."
