God DOES love everyone, it is through sin that we are separated

First, God loves ALL of his creation.

John 1:3, "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made."

Genesis 1:31, "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. "

He also has an intimate knowledge of every person created:

Jeremiah 1:5 states, "“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Psalm 139: 13-15 "You brought my inner parts into being; You wove me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder; marvelous are Your works, and You know me completely. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.. 16 Your eyes saw me unformed, yet in Your book all my days were written, before any of them came into being."

1 John 31, "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! "

We are loved from the beginning. What separates us is our own free will.

Galatians 5:13, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love."

Joshua 24: 15, "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve"

Mark 8:34, "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."

Revelation 3:20, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."

Again the idea of our actions separating us from God's love is emphasized with this:

Isaiah 59:2, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."

Also, aside from everything mentioned, Augustine's book "City of God" which was fundamental to establishing much of Christian doctrine (written in 426) predates ALL modern Christian philosophers reaffirms God's love extends to everyone and is only lost through sin. That God loves everyone is in no way "modern" thought, it is the crux of our faith.

Yep. Sorry I don't prescribe to your specific ideology. There are just as many shit head white, brown, and yellow people. Actually if I were to fault one group it would be extremist Muslims, but that has little to do with race and everything to do with cultural/religious ideology.
