Is The Quran Racist?

Quran.“Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors”. [Sura 3:110]

Ishaq: 243 "I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!' He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks…. Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful punishment."

Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful punishment." [Surah 9:61] "Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey's.
🤨

From Muhammad (pbuh's) last Sermon:

All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action.

Quran Surah 2 verse 177:

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.

^ One of the first believers in the Quran was Bilal a black slave.
Because the whole basis of belief in One GOD is that everyone's equal in front of him, black, white, slave or master. No matter the tribe, caste e.t.c. Every righteous person is to bow down together, in rows (as equals) to GOD alone.

So no clearly neither the Quran nor Muhammad(pbuh) were racist. On the contrary they broughT racial equality to the world 1400 years ago.

Anything suggesting otherwise are not referring to black people in general.
And as we can clearly see from Surah 2:177 I've quoted, The Quran only gives instructions to be good righteous human beings and believe in The One GOD.

Notice how Muhammad doesn't mention anything about Indians, Asians, or Aboriginals? I think the Prophet's racism is blatantly obvious by their omission.

I think "non-arab" kind of covers all the in-betweens.

But LOL anyway.

Mo's opinion on black Ethiopians -

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 662:

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a raisin were made your chief."

Oooh here's another one -

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 256:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin."

So his opinion is to treat a ruler who was a black slave just the same as you would treat any other ruler.

That's great. I've already posted Muhammad's final sermon explicitly stating there's no racism allowed for Muslims. Blacks, whites, arabs, non-arabs all equal in Islam. It's a religion than transcends Race, Tribes and Nationality.
