Everyone should know racism has been a problem since biblical times. Anyone that doesn’t see that racism has greatly improved over the last century is in denial. Anyone that thinks racism is no longer a problem is in denial. Anyone that thinks racism is a white thing is blind. Racism exists within all races. We should not confuse racism with prejudice. Not all prejudice is racism. Anyone that thinks racism will ever go away is blind. If you are the target of racism the best way to handle it Is to just deal with it and be determined that no one will determine your worth or your outcome.

I haven’t kept up with the whole thread but I somewhat agree. However, most have taken the time to post (in their mind) credible information supporting their view. Some have even taken the time to read each other’s links. This is better than other topics where they just exchange insults. But you are right, no one will change anyone’s mind. All need to realize that race is a very hot/trigger topic for all sides and need to consider that when posting.

Everyone

Prayers to you for a speedy recovery oldtimer

How bout keeping politics out of the celebration of Christ.

Happy birthday Jesus!

How many of us would be OK with someone posting your tax return in the Sunday paper?

I saw a meme that said Rather than looking into the tax return of a millionaire turned public servant, why don’t you look into the tax returns of the public servants that turned into millionaires.

Sums it up pretty well

Time to show’m why your here

They have some receivers.

Maybe not

That safety could be a momentum changer.

I wondered the same thing. You probably know better than me but there’s legal verses reality. An immediate shot could be justified but questioned without warning. However, the fact that a warning was given without the opportunity to comply could be questionable in court as well.

He shot less than a second after telling him to drop the gun. Just an observation. Still justified.

Saw this on the news. In typical media fashion, several preview announcements reported Austin police killed a man stand on his porch. Wasn’t until you watched the story you find out he was shooting a rifle. Body cam looks like the shooting may have been a bit premature, but still justified. [Hidden Content]

A marine prisoned for four years in Russia left behind. Someone that served our country but freed someone that is ashamed of our country. We released the merchant of death. We are one screwed up disgusting, weak embarrassment of a country. I don't think we can be fixed. 😡

He wanted a three year deal. I would have expected him to stay in Houston for two year deal.

Never ever did I suggest forcing religion or Christianity on anyone. Earlier you ask what Christian values I was talking about. Marriage between a man and woman, abortion, the Bible and prayer in schools, the list goes on. Or course you already know this so I’m not sure why you ask the question unless it’s to further the debate.

Without God, who determines what sin is? Sin wouldn’t exist.

As I said, I’m no history buff. However, our country continues to veer away from Christian values and (my opinion) head deep per into moral decline. For those that like the direction we are going then just sit back and enjoy the ride because the best/worst is yet to come. If you don’t like the direction the country is going, can we just blame it on politics? No, it’s bigger than that.

Unreal

By what morally authoritative measure do we determine murder, theft, drug or alcohol abuse, incest, etc. are wrong? Man's wisdom? Right and wrong has to start somewhere above our own human conscience. As I said earlier, believer or non-believer, we will have the opportunity to explain our case before God all mighty. Do you think you will be so confident at that time?

So in God we Trust was added by the government. Do you think it should be removed?

I'm no history buff, however it would be hard for our deeply religious founding leaders to not lead with Christian values. The signs are there, In God we Trust, So help me God, Ten Commandments in government buildings, etc. All of which are slowly being removed. Depends on who we listen to.
