This is what I try and explain to people, ALL people have souls, and all are candidates for, and capable of, salvation, even negros.
Not saying at ALL that races are not different, and some much less 'desirable' (for lack of better word), than others (and dumber, of course).
Not saying anything about 'rights,' just the biblical teaching.
And, many people have reached a point with their wickedness that they are 'reprobate,' and given up by God, hopeless and cannot and will not be saved, though we don't know who they are in this world, only God who is omniscient, and no one should be treated as beyond hope (that doesn't mean that you have to 'hang' with them though).
Apostle Paul was a murderer, and that, of Christians. He was certainly not beyond hope, and look at Manasseh, and many others, look at the wickedness David committed. Etc.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, he gave his only-begotten son...". Those, to whom are still stuck in the "flesh", can only see a "physical solution" yet cannot get rid of the root of the problem... Physical actions can only effect physical beings, not the spiritual beings behind everything...
Once saved, we are different, the person is no longer the same we get refined from the spirit... We see things differently understand deeper and do what we can to make known the evil and depravity... we know who are the real enemies of mankind while most focus on their physical puppets... Strung along by demons of depravity, even spirits that seek nothing but their destruction... It would please them for you to destroy their puppets because they always have a backup and their plans will continue... Pray for the spirit, and the armour, so you can withstand what is coming... Eph 6:13 also 18 and continue exposing their evil...
Yeah, I have noticed you trying to save others from the trap of hatred, and be rebuked for it... Hold strong and don't bend but learn to choose your battles...

I appreciate that. Yeah, I can't go to the extreme others do, calling people animals (though I admit the behavior of some people is definitely animal level).
Like you say, John 3:16 and the below scripture, and many others prove what we're saying. And but for the grace of God...
Revelation 7:9
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”
I have no problem calling individuals what they have proven themselves to be... I just don't generalize based on appearance...
