Man you sure are throwing out that "hate" word a lot when no one has even remotely said anything like that.

Calm down, dude.

---

I am very calm.

For starters we're not children, we are all smart enough to realize feelings can be insinuated... they don't have to spelled out.

Secondly, it says everything that you find an issue with me for saying people shouldn't look so negatively on their fellow man because their skin color is different; yet have said nothing to condemn some of the strong bias slants which have been posted on here.

I will repeat, I am glad Saban is the representative of the team and not some of our intolerant fanbase.

I am not forcing anything, that is you guys attempting to force this notion that because someone is black they are lesser than, a problem or a criminal.

I don't even believe in force. Even Jesus Christ didn't force himself on others he wanted people to choose to believe in him.

Then again Jesus would never condone hating your fellow man because they were born with more melanin in their skin and always told us all to first love God and then our neighbor.

---

This is kind of all over the place.

No one that I can see is attempting to force any opinions at all that says blacks are less than, problems or criminals.

Statistics may state that black men commit violent crimes at 6x their population levels, but no one is saying that all blacks are criminals or that they are less than or that they are problems. That is putting words into people's mouths that just aren't there. It is impugning people's motives. Those things are wrong Biblically and rationally.

As far as Jesus forcing Himself on people, I'm not sure where that comes into things, but you're right he doesn't force Himself on people, even though He is 100% correct in His rightness and in truth. "Though He knew no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth, when He was reviled He did not revile, when He suffered He did not utter threats, but continued to entrust Himself to Him who judges justly." He will, however, judge all men by the truth and on that day "every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

As far as Jesus condoning hatred of fellow man because the were born with more melanin in their skin, I couldn't agree more. In fact, He would not have us hate our fellow man for any reason. If you have hated others in your heart you are guilty of murder. This is a stark challenge for us all.

the subset seems to be doing a lot of the talking when that subset is responsible for an inordinate amount of violent crime

Wrong. You base your opinion on what you see on TV, not on facts.

Then you guys sit around and wonder why the cops are racist

---

To whom are you referring with "you guys?" Now you speak for the police, too?

quote:

And BTW if you want to debate statistics you damn well know that deaths of blacks at the hand of police is statistically infinitesimal

---

Once again, you're full of shite. Find anything that I have written about police being a substantial portion of the culprits of black violence rather than a vestige of the problem. You are hell bent on arguing a point that I did not make. Unfortunately, your riposte was for naught.

You have a narrative to push. Therefore, you deliberately blind yourself to truths that do not make your point salient.

Quit while you're behind, because, I am what your writing has led me to believe that you think does not exist. A proud African American that supports people of all demographics that are living their life, and not looking to hurt others. I'll either help you or get out of the way.

I am not pushing a narrative. I am calling out the hypocrisy and utter failure of the black political leadership and this current movement, the so-called Black Lives Matter, movement for their abject failure in addressing the systemic problems in black America because it ain't white supremacy. Newsflash its 2020 and not 1950's Mississippi. I haven't heard one goddamn word uttered or any sort of balanced analysis of regarding the causation of these problems. I have heard lot about systemic racism being the fault of white people going back to the time of Christopher Columbus and the Conquistadors but not a word on the genocide that takes place in our major cities. I am guessing the race pimps like Sharpton and BLM are too busy cashing checks and don't want to frick up a good thing with all this white guilt. You finding some lame arse article doesn't change that.

WTF are you talking about "painting everyone with the same brush"? Where have I done that? Do honestly think that I paint 44 million people withe same brush? You are uncomfortable with the truth of the hypocrisy of the current narrative and uncomfortable with the facts that black America's problem is a the end of the day, the responsibility of black America to solve.

The basis of your argument is you painting an entire race based upon the BLM movement. Go back and read your posts. You are, either, woefully ignorant or purposely blind. You continue to argue points that I am not making. I'm not going back and forth with you, any longer. You're a clown and wasting my time.

Ummm no...that is you projecting your own issues onto me and this into this debate because you really just don't want to hear about it.

Look you seem like a solid dude and don't want to create an environment where people are antagonized and don't want to post. So I am just going to step out of this thread.

Enjoy your 4th

basing that on anecdotal evidence

It's anecdotal. The majority of black people with whom I interact, hates the BLM movement. You would be surprised to find that the opinion of most blacks about Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan, and others that preach divisiveness are negative. As I stated, previously, most black citizens are looking to live their life, positively. Unfortunately, black people doing great things for their families and communities is not good for political fodder. The money for doing good at home is far outpaced by the money that follows racial strife, economic inequality, black-on-violence, etc. It is rare to see positive stories involving black people because that does not get someone elected or a show on MSNBC, Fox News, or CNN.

I'll add this: BLM does not speak for all black people similar to the way that the KKK does not speak for all white people, etc.

I appreciate that. Did you know that Thomas Sowell, over at Stanford, couldn't even give out his address? He doesn't even have his name on his office. That is how badly he is treated for daring to not toe the line.

Any idea why more of the black community does not just stand up and tell the dividers and the destroyers to shut up and go away? It seems that this would be a very helpful and productive thing. In my limited perspective, most whites will bend over backwards to help young blacks who want to get ahead.
