Combating Discrimination Peacefully

 There seemed no way to make up
'Cause it seemed your mind was set
--Phil Collins

God has blessed us with a tool to combat unjust discrimination in a peaceful manner: the market. If someone discriminates against another, the discriminator loses resources (material and/or psychic) as the target of discrimination takes his/her business elsewhere and trades with someone else.

If needs of the target are not served well, then entrepreneurs take advantage of the opportunity by adding capacity to better serve the target. If the labor of the target has been erroneously shunned by the discriminator, then others hire the target to gain productivity.

No government force, no earthly laws are necessary. God has provided a non-violent system that sanctions those who violate His law.
