    A white man was beaten to death by three blacks and a Hispanic in front of fiancée and aunt. This happened in St. Louis. Don't get me wrong...there's outrage. But, it is channeled in a civil way, and not out of racial indignities, real or assumed?

    The public outrage when a gang of blacks kill a white person are suspiciously absent, and maybe, just MAYBE the African-American community that feels a chip on it's shoulder and the desire to violently protest and use the cause as an excuse to steal, vandalize and burn down private property could learn something about letting the law handle the wrong doing?

    I would think by now, the wrongful social act of slavery would be a distant historical memory, allowing all the gains diversity, tolerance and political correctness has ushered in?

    After all the native Americans seem to have ended hostilities. The wrongfully interned Japanese American citizens have moved down the social freeway of racial indignities. In truth, white America has bent so far over backwards to improve inequalities for blacks, that some would say we have gone further then humanly possible.

    The truth is ... the angry black community needs to begin moving down the road towards civility by accepting the same civil indignities and wrongs all other AMERICANS face at the hands of other, evil, Americans of color (different then that of the victim) without going crazy and falling back on the worn out premise of racism.

    I believe it is time for the entirety of ALL citizens regardless of color to melt in and be one, and no longer march and cause division to continue.

    We are after all, AMERICANS. I've participated in several autopsies during my career as a social service investigator, and what I clearly witnessed during each autopsy was that after the MA made the initial incision into the skin of the body ... the person took on the SAME similarities of every body, regardless of their skin color, the blood , bones, muscles, nerves, veins and organs looked no different than the other bodies.

    We are all humans. Created by the same God. And once we realize this we will accomplish greater things for ALL mankind. I still have hope for us, because I have faith in the God who made us.

    Now if those still holding to old wounds that only serve to divide and separate them from us, would put those memories to rest, then the blacks who continue to hang their cause on one incident that happens from time to time; we will be more like the community of the man who was viciously beaten to death by four other humans bent on harming another human, and let the cops and legal system do their fighting for them and the wrong they incurred. Shalom !

    You tend to repeat thread topics that have already been made by others. Nearly 7 hours before your OP, in the very same forum :Beat Me In St. Louis.

    Another ridiculous, poorly titled thread.

    You ask where's the outrage and then proceed to tell us there was outrage. Do you even care anymore what you're saying ? Or are you, like your buddy rev, too busy trying to race bait?

    I would venture the latter. Like Rush and Sean, you seem to want to keep white "political conservatives" mad about all things black and continue to look for angles to denigrate them in any way possible.

    Classic wickedness.

    Do you feel better, now? You poor soul. It must be hard to be you, living in a world of imperfect souls! All of us who fail to meet you standards, will continue to be that way, so why do you torture yourself by staying around such a dark pit of evil vipers, pulling you deeper into our spiritual snare. :laugh::smilewinkgrin:

    Well beat me daddy, eight to the bar. It's another one who has a higher opinion of himself than the world around him does. Wake up Rippy baby .... no one cares what you think, let alone me. When it comes to your rat race of a life, I have no horse in that race. :smilewinkgrin: :laugh:

    Your continued brand of wickedness that you try to veil as something else doesn't cause any illness in me. I expect such wickedness to continue to flourish when the folks at the root of it refuse to recognize the wickedness for what it is and repent.

    Sounds just like those who are homosexual and practicing the homosexual offense. :eek: Imagine that.

    Where's the outrage? I'm sure there is plenty in St. Louis.

    But if you require an answer: The difference is the people that beat up the white man were not policemen that were hired by the city to protect and defend its citizens. Happy now?

    Don't hold it against him. These things tend to happen as you become more and more senile.

    Comments like these only serve to make YOU look like a horses patoot! Keep it up, God is not proud of you, nor is your pastor.

    What does my pastor have to do with this? Am I supposed to be striving for my pastor's acceptance?

    That's his round-about way of telling everyone that he has some personal information about where you go to church.

    I guess we're supposed to feel impressed that he knows this. :laugh:

    If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?

    YOU are saying that Matt's witness for Christ is tarnished?

    YOU?

    Let me be clear about this.


    YOU?

    Very true as we can't do it alone. We can only do it through the love and support of God. As only God can do through us.

    Jesus before He went on the Cross says that we need to love our enemies which is harder but need to love them. More than we love our friends or family members.

    Jesus loved from the Cross those that beat Him and tore off his clothes and all of that. To die and rise to pave the way for salvation. Remember next time an enemy comes your way.

    Kill them with kindness!

    Good advice .... but do you think the Grand Jury might find me guilty of foul play?

    By the way, WELCOME to the Baord. I have not met you yet, and this is a belated welcome. :thumbs:
