Thanks for proving my point that "welfare president" isn't racist.
That was your point?
So, you are comfortable with "welfare president" because it isn't racist?
It is prejudiced, and ignorant. Are you OK with that?
Yes, just as he did with Trayvon Martin. I never said how Christ would judge him. So what is your point?
Clearly you don't get it. You are supposed to be like Christ. People on this forum bear the badge of Christian. And yet, many of them have no problem judging a dead person, and assuming details of an event that happened despite their absence.
You were not there when Martin was shot. I would venture and say 99.99% of people here were not there. Not for Martin, Not for brown. Yet, they call these DEAD People savages, violent, thugs, beasts - and condone the murder of these people.
THAT is not Christ like, and it is not humane.
My point:
STOP BEING HYPOCRITICAL ACTING LIKE YOU FOLLOW CHRIST WHEN YOU ARE QUICK TO JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY BASED ON WHAT YOU HEAR. You seem like the same type of "Christian" that would damn a Sabbath keeper, and praise a murderer. Either way, you give atheists reason for pause: no wonder why they constantly question God. There is barely anyone acting like Christ, but a lot of people wearing the badge.
Just what is it I am defending exactly? Never mind, don't bother.
EXACTLY. You just say things without any thought. And, you don't even realize how offensive you are.
Again, thanks for proving my point.
Do you even know what you are arguing? I said post the response you get when you tell a sociology/political science/anthropology professor that "black people are on equal footing..."
I don't see any video, or proof you did that, so how does this prove your point?
Except he wasn't choked to death. He wasn't murdered. Was his death horrible, tragic, and preventable? Yes. He should have gotten medical attention much quicker. But your refusal to stick to facts gets in the way of any discussion.
HE WAS NOT CHOKED TO DEATH?

He died from choking. He died from manslaughter. He kept saying he couldn't breathe.
Do you think the choke hold massaged his neck, and he died of fairy dust?
Since I am currently a member of the church that Paul was founding, I really doubt that. But somehow your massive intellect and education give you such hidden vast knowledge about the past that you alone know the truth.
Please don't play the "over intellectual" game.
The bible is clear that Paul killed Christians. And, since he killed
Christians, it had to be during and after Christ. That is why I said 40AD, because Christ supposedly died and resurrected around 33AD. It was an educated guess. And, let's be clear: people don't equate biblical knowledge with "massive intellect and education." The opposite, in fact, is true especially on these forums.
I said you wouldn't persecute Paul today because he is a champion of faith - you proved this yourself by speaking about the church you come from.
Not at all true, and yes, the correct word is ranting. Your condescension and arrogance are getting very stale.
"You never know when you entertain angels, and your mentality clearly sets a limit on who can be an angel. You can't even consider that someone give their life over to Christ at the last moment (and therefore, judgment is ludicrous.) The narrative instructs you to do the contrary."
That is condescending? I would say presumptive, but with due reason especially with respect to what you think people die from vis-a-vis Eric Garner chokehold. You think i am condescending likely because of my educational pedigree. In reality, I don't believe I am any smarter than you. I have heard 9-year olds describe the fabric of space time more eloquently than many of my professors. Degrees don't mean anything. So, get off of the intellectualism: in hindsight I shouldn't have even talked about my educational background as now it has become an argumentative crutch. It is the same reason why I don't post my age, or faith icon. It will become an argumentative crutch.
Whatever. Antebellum America is long gone.
No it isnt. It is called the Prison industrial Complex for starters - many names it goes by.
But, since you say it doesn't exist it doesn't exist, right?
And yet you, dearie claim to speak for all blacks throughout all history. Very hypocritical. Since no one but you can have an opinion on the matter, and none of our experiences count, continuing the conversation is obviously a waste of time.
Oh, quite wrong, dearie. I never claimed to speak for all black people. I even said I am an individual - something you continue to ignore.
And, you can have an opinion; dont act like I am barring your free speech now. It hasn't stop you yet.
And, quote me where I insinuated any conversation was a waste of time. Please do, because I don't waste my time.
I told you I Don't Think You Are stupid, I Think You Are ignorant.
So? Not qualified to speak on the matter, according to you?
Being black in the States, bearing a black child, raising a black child and having that child make it to 20 years old in the States are things that are much different than being godmother, or adoptive mother of a black child. Worse? Never said that. Unqualified? Never said that. But, let's not pretend that a white, latino, Asian or middle eastern adoptive parent will know the dynamics and intricacies of what it means to be black in America.
When they are older, and they see the video of Garner being choked to death, or read about Trayvon Martin, what would you expect them to think? How do you think they will identify, or resonate with general things that happen to people that look like them? How will you raise them to deal with their first racist encounter?
It can be done; people have done it. I am not speaking on anyone's parenting ability. I am being realistic. If you and I are arguing about whether a black man was chocked to death when their is video footage showing this, how do you think you will instruct and guide a child that looks like Garner - when s/he has similar qualms?
And, you still don't even know my ethnicity, because I have not told you.
