And it is how info is presented:
For example - many of us were taught that
1) the Emancipation Proclamation, freed all the slaves. Well, that just isnt true. - It only freed the slaves in the Rebellious States.
2) West Virginia became a state over the slavery issue - but lets take a look at history. Yes, slavery was PART of the reason - but those in western Virginia were talking about leaving in the 1820's. One issue was "Taxation without Representation...."
Check this link about WV history
Anotherwords - we need to have the full story
For example - we are told we must wear our seatbelts to save our life
The recent stat is that 57% of all traffic deaths - the individual was not wearing a seat belt. Or we could say that 43% of all traffic deaths - the individual WAS wearing a seat belt - With about 40,000 deaths a year that meant that some 17,000 people died while wearing a seat belt.
Are your chances better - of course - they are! - One other thing - there are several reasons (or should I say excuses) that a person dies in a car crash.
A) DWI
B) Speed
C) Tailgating
D) Distraction
E-other
So whoever is trying to prove their point will only use the stats to prove their point - ie - MADD normally only talks about the danger of booze -yet disregard the other factors.
Bottom line -same thing with the War of Southern Independence - many only look at their own side of the issue - when there are many factors.

Moreover, disciples of Jesus are not supposed to despise others. It is antichrist.

Now if you had problem with white people before obama, then maybe you're the reason why. The blacks and whites that I have known for decades never had racial problems. I worked with blacks (and whites) my whole life--never a problem. Until obama started stirring up racial division. It was NOT obama's color--we despise the policies of biden WORSE than we did obama's--does depersonalizing it make it sound better? I don't want either one of them to go to hell but I can't stand them because they are both wicked, biden even worse, so if it's color-motivated, how do you explain that?
Tim Scott is blacker than obama but I could support Tim Scott as president if he had more fire, more determination. He's a good man, but I think he's weak.
Donald Trump is a great man because he loves America, he hates the deep state--the swamp--and he gets behind issues that benefit America and he's tough as nails and fights to win. And he didn't even take a salary. Yes, he is a great President. That doesn't get him into Heaven, of course, but I'm not asking President Trump to be my pastor, but to be my president. He is NOT anti-Christ, nor does the job call for a person to Christlike--it calls for them to be tough--the job calls for a person to be "Caesar", not to be "God". Render unto Caesar...remember? Do YOU THINK obama or biden have any kind of decent character whatsoever? Please reply, because if you do, you and I have nothing to say to each other further. -

I am so white people thought I was an albino when I was a kid.
I grew up in a heavily segregated region, with lots of ethnic tension. As I mentioned earlier, a few of my classmates in public school were junior members of the KKK. In the early 1970s, the local KKK had a rally (complete with cross burning) in a vacant field a block from my childhood home.
I guess you should run away and sulk now. -
Same principle for President Donald Trump, best President in a hundred years. obama and obiden the worst two ever, but a leftist is willfully blind to both facts. -

(2) While I don't agree with your assertions at all, the statement in the meme is true. God can use both good and evil people for His own purposes and glory. The longer I watch the mainstream "conservative" Christian movement follow Donald Trump away from the teachings of Jesus, the more I believe God is using Donald Trump to judge and cleanse His church. Judgment begins in the house of God, and there are many charlatans and power-hungry pastors who need to be disciplined. As Trump faces the consequences of his actions, professed Christians will be forced to repent or be forever marked by the broader culture as something other than a disciple of Jesus. -
I have NOT abandoned it. He has no character that I can see, none that is good. I merely acquiesced to the way YOU want to look at it, your approach and I STILL can't stand him. But I never stated his ethnic heritage was the problem--never--that was your argument, not mine because it isn't about his ethnic heritage at all. It is his lack of character, and his hatred of America, and his socialism--his policies. If it was his ethnic heritage, then the whites would think biden to be ok, but they don't--he is worse than obama, because his character, his policies, his decisions, are all worse.
As for presidents, and all other people, every human, they should be people of good character--I simply disagree with you that President Trump is of low character, but I won't bother to argue about it--I look at his Presidency, and it was great.
President Trump is not the Second Coming of Christ and I never expected him to be. But he's America's best President in the last 100 years. And obiden is the worst, and obama is the second worst, and Jimmy Carter has been bumped back to third, and I suppose he was happy about that.
