Black teens kill white Australian student "for fun"

[nebula]

Ah, and there's the point.

 

There is not evidence that Zimmerman was racially biggoted towards blacks; in fact, just the opposite has been evidence. He even took a black girl to prom! Yet he's been targetted as the poster child for racial bigotry. And many angry blacks have used this case as an excuse to cry out hatred against whites.

 

Edwards was one of those.

 

So here we have a case where the evidence shows Edwards was racially biggoted towards whites. It cold even be asked, if it was a dark-skinned person had been joggin by, would the teens have gone after him?

 

 

So, here is what we have.

 

Do blacks feel threatened by whites? Yes.

 

Do whites feel threatened by blacks? Yes.

 

Have white people given black people a reason to feel threatened? Yes.

 

Have black people given white people a reason to feel threatened. Yes.

 

Are whites who are not guilty of threatening black people being punished for white people's crimes? Yes.

 

Are blacks who are not guilty of threatening white people being punished for black people's crimes? Yes.

 

 

Now, did I spin this case? A bit more than was warrented, but it was to make a point. Sometimes "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" has to be applied in order for the "gander" to "get a taste of his own medicine" in order to realize he needs to change his behavior.

 

(Not accusing you of being a gander in this case, so long as "the shoe doesn't fit";but the ganders are out there, and there are a lot of them.)

Here's the more important question.

 

Why does crime happen? Why does racism still exist?

 

If you ask those two questions, can figure out why, and address those issues instead, then problems can be solved.

I understand what you were trying to illustrate now, and I agree it needs to be discussed more.  I wish everyone could see that placing expectations on one another based on skin colour is as silly as placing expectations on one another based on hair colour or eye colour.  I guess the only way to do that is with time and education.  Societies are very slow to change.

One word: hatred.

Here's the more important question.

 

Why does crime happen? Why does racism still exist?

The over-arching answer is that man is a sinful and is dominated by influence of the god of this world (Satan)   The sin problem manifests itself in many ways, including the sin of racism.  Racism is a spiritual problem, not a social problem.   

 

The  reason racism is still so prevalent is that we have mistakenly treated as merely a social problem and have tried to fight it on that basis and so far that hasn't produced much in the way of good fruit.   On the other hand, there are men who are former KKK members who have  become born again Christians who have denounced racism because Jesus came into their hearts and transformed them, and changed them into men who love people of all ethncities.  They were virulent racists who repented and turned 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

 

No one can be talked out of being a racist.  No one can reason with racist because racism isn't rooted in any semblance of reason.   It is a virulent and irrational hatred that can only be addressed by a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.   Jesus is THE answer to the problem of racism, but our politically correct society wants to have discussions and focus groups and "boot camps" and whatever else they can think of to address the issue.

 

These three boys need Jesus.  Jesus is the only hope for them.  The government and society cannnot heal them of the spiritual ills they are carrying around in them.
