    Don't compound your sins with additionally bearing false witness.

    Do you realize that skin color is irrelevant as a means of defining a person?

    You're still [deliberately] missing the issue. Try again.

    Obama didn't think so when he said if he had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin.

    You said the reason blacks commit violent crimes is because "there is something in their DNA".

    Own it.

    "With" or "by"?

    Hank you, once again, pluck a verse out of context and use it incorrectly. Please treat the Bible with more respect.

    Another ping-pong deflection, an attempt to belittle with an innuendo accusation because you have been convicted by the word of God.

    I'm not missing the issue at all. The OP shared a story about a 19 year old woman being brutally killed by being set on fire. Two stories were provided by the OP.
    The OP then jumps to a racist conclusion using speculation as the reason for the opinion.
    I am addressing the facts of the crime and also calling out Christians for being openly racist.

    My opinion: The African American church in the USA has a deeper walk with our Sovereign King, Jesus, than most churches in the US.
    I applaud my brothers and sisters for their depth of faith in a nation where fellow brothers and sisters often look down on them and judge based on skin color, without ever getting to know the depth of relationship that has been developed with Jesus. It makes me sad to see and hear the racist comments coming from one brother/sister toward another brother/sister. These things should not happen.

    Hank, you refuse to look at your use and misuse of God's word and then claim I am deflecting.

    It is not my understanding which is clouded.

    You have tried to deflect from the issue of racism and have attempted to use two verses out of context to excuse your racist tendencies.
    What is clouded about what I am saying?

    What is not clouded is easier to say.

    Your judgment of racism based upon a faulty premise.
    Your tactics taken from Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky.

    Racism is fairly straightforward.

    It is the systematic method of structuring societal privileges and benefits based upon a person's skin color.

    OK but it is more than that.

    Racism is based upon a delusion and a lie.

    There is only one race: The human race.

    Acts 17
    24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
    25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
    26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

    Anything more than that comes from the father of lies.

    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    Then surely you do not hold that refugees should be summarily returned to countries where they will very likely be injured or killed.

    I repent daily.
