Yes. Exactly! And, I would like to add though that the AGAPE Love the Bible speaks of includes the WHOLE TRUTH. Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Light. Ah! I see that you believe that Black people that believe in the historical Jesus is like a fantasy in how children believe that Santa Claus is the one to bring them gifts on December 25 every year. @ProfD Well, I don't believe in the Santa Claus developed today, however, I do understand the history that surrounds it just as I understand the history that surrounds Jesus Christ. I do have all hope in the Second Resurrection of Jesus, a man who was executed under the Roman Empire system, even though he was found to be not guilty of any crime that would warrant that kind of governmental death edict. I do believe that Black men today are being executed, whether guilty or not, along the same lines. I have no doubt that Jesus came to deal with this kind of human sacrifice. I don't see any end to the unfair killing of Black people, both men, women [and children] in sight by any human government. I do believe that this kind of evil must be dealt with on a higher realm. But I do acknowledge your metaphor! But Santa Claus does not involve death! Absolutely!

Thanks so much Richard for your response. You make a good point that goes to the heart of the contradiction in American history. The genocide of indigenous people and enslavement of blacks were conscious collectively racist acts by people who built a legal and constitutional framework around individualism. In a sense racism is systemic even collective yet it enables white people to view themselves and function as individuals. They then deny the systemic problem and black experience.

good points, the usa's fiscal environment, from the destruction of most indigenous peoples to the enslavement of blacks, no matter their ancestral descendency, was communal in nature. It wasn't each indigenous must be killed or each black is enslaved, it was all indigenous must be kileld or all blacks are enslaved. The fiscal reality is in contrast to the declaration or constitutions legal framework, which emphasizes individual rights over any collective. For whites who had and have the positive fruits of both the fiscal communalism or the legal individualism, it has brought about a modern white community that is in itself very multiracial. But, for communities of differing descent<indigenous> or phenotype<black> the fiscal disadvantage and the legal misapplication they received and received creates a terrible environment for the 2022 usa to be a happy rainbow

Welcome back. I see you know your weapons. When in Rome…

ProfD I knew these niggaz are still brainwashed the way so many of them are STILL celebrating pagan holidays even after their origins have been explained to them over and over again. Talking about they don't "celebrate" them....but just look at them as a time to spend time with their families. They don't fool me. Most of them have DYSFUNCTIONAL families that don't even qualify to be CALLED "families". They don't even qualify to be called Neely Fuller Jr. "care units".....because they don't care about eachother. Just looking for any excuse to be lazy and not work and lay around the crib smoking dope and getting drunk.

Correct. The level of dysfunction whether it's rampant crime and/or heavy handed law enforcement especially in big cities is "good for business" when it comes to politics. A lot of people eat off the apple that is crime from law enforcement to judicial system, prisons and funeral homes to name a few. 😎

Simply believing in Jesus is a personal choice. Some believers are intelligent.....others are silly....it depends on the person. However if your Black or Brown or Asian and you believe in and worship a White Jesus with blonde hair and blue eyes....you're brainwashed and likely contributing the the self destruction of your people.

************************************************************************************ As long as the police carry guns and other weapons, they are going to kill and injure citizens. And if they don't have weapons, they will stomp, kick, choke, and do whatever else to exert their aggression. They don't just kill Black people either, they will kill or beat anyone that poses a threat, agitates them, talks back, or sometimes does nothing at all. Look at all the women that have been sexually abused by police officers and prison guards. That is another problem that I have not seen addressed with any urgency. But regardless of how awful they are, I am not a supporter of the defund the police movement. That is a bunch of nonsense. ************************************************************************************

People are running around doing enough dumb sh8t in crimes that require police intervention. They are safe from from being defunded. Police reform is easy. Hire police officers who look like the communities they serve. Do not drop a racist cop in an area predominantly inhabited by people of color. 😎
