    If I had a few minutes to spare I could probably find articles accusing five Baptists of doing and saying the same thing. Would that mean there is a systemic and out of control problem among Baptists too?

    It would mean that there is systemic racial prejudice and racism in this country. So much so that Baptists, like on this board, systemically display their racial prejudices just like that young man did.

    So yes. This board continues to prove it's out of control.

    The people out of control are those in the government and media that worked together hand in hand to promote and encourage racial division and hatred to such a degree that people are resorting to murder.

    Those responsible will blame us, seek more control over us through "safety", "anti terror", and "hate speech" legislation and fortify the police with more military gear.

    Problem = racial division and violence.

    Reaction = people look to government for solutions.

    Solution = give government more money, more power and more control.

    Civil war in America is being engineered by those in power.

    Might be good time to wake up to that reality.

    Poncho said "Civil war in America is being engineered by those in power."

    How about those common citizens who are fed up with the over power of DC?

    You mean like Clive Bundy? That's easy if you're the government you wait till the camera crews go home and use "the law" to silence them. Or you place some of your people in the midst of the protesters to insight violence to give the police a pretext to use their military training and gear against the "common citizens".

    The video says the boy was 12

    How many 12 year olds in Germany wound up shooting a Panzerfaust at a Sherman or a Stuart??

    Show me where high ranking political officials, like the President and the AG of the US, supported these people, or spoke in support of their cause, giving validity to their claims. Show me the protests in the streets, disrupting innocent people's lives, supporting, or calling for, the death of police officers. Show me the race pimps, with national radio and TV shows, out marching with these wing nuts supporting them while they call for the execution of police.

    Unlike the race pimps, da Prez, and all the yokels laying in the streets, you cannot show any support for these wing nuts outside of their own echo chambers.

    So Fox News didn't give these nutcases what they ultimately wanted, fame and attention, so they are bad? Maybe if CNN and others didn't pimp out these crazies, and make these lunatics famous, the number of lunatics looking to make the news would start to fall? Nah, lets trash the network that actually doesn't give lunatic killers what they crave instead.

    You are comparing apples to pork rinds...

    Fail!

    Some time ago, (3, 4 years ago?)
    I started a thread entitled Baptist on Baptist Crime.
    (Yes, it did involve deacons)

    I tried to find it but to no avail. (would welcome any assistance to finding it)

    Reminds me of the polarization in the late 60's over the Vietnam war, only getting worse.

    Media Matters? From Obama's mouth to their web pages. Obama might as well write this stuff himself if he ever finishes his golf game. :sleeping_2:

    What on earth are you talking about? This was showing where Fox News hasn't treated a story about a black man who killed cops the same as they have white men who have killed cops.

    Where has the President , the Attorney General or the race pimps shown support for what he did? You're puffing smoke.

    Yet here they are night and day giving the crazy black guy who killed cops more attention. Hmmmm.

    Naah. That's just your errant understanding. Forgiven. :1_grouphug:
