  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Modern day systemic racism, does it exist?

Maybe.
Maybe it is just who has the money.
oh, that would be white people..... very predominately at least in the usa.
That is an economic issue, not a racial one. And people with money often fight against each other concerning political and financial issues; they don't work together.

We were talking about racism. What are you talking about?
I've seen a lot of people on welfare. They almost totally depend on their providers even if the providers are hurting them. A lot of those on welfare are not white, while still there are many who are white also, but are treated just as badly. What hope do they have to find help that helps, instead of help that controls and hurts ?

Do you then excuse the harming of colored folk by telling them oh don't worry it is not your color, it is only because you are poor ?

Colored folk? There are more poor whites than blacks in the USA. So if more whites are being harmed by this, why would you call it a racial attack against blacks?

Whenever in the news, lacking other sources, a man is accused of a hate crime /racist/ , do they say the hundred thousand others who did not take part in the crime are racists, or do they focus on the one they are accusing of being racist/with a hate crime ?

There are no Filipino football players
in the USA. Lots of black
How many Philipinos even live in the United States? Are you saying that white people are inherently more talented so that's why they exel over others in just about every category of life?
All societies are "classist"
Race is a class issue so thanks for agreeing with me.

That is why blacks are so prominent in
basketball and football.
They have the money, for sure
Third thought: rich white folk control the world, finances, banks, medical protocols, education, etc etc etc ..... so poor cattle don't have a chance except for God's Free Grace Revealed to them.
Aww

Poor cows

Here in China we are not cows and
" rich whites" don't run things.

Sectet: nothing is going tobe given to you.
You have to get it the old fashion way-earn it

There are zero "Philipinos"anywhere.

Class is race and people are cows.
Fascinating.

I don't know about the cow thing but people certainly get classified by race. I believe even you said dark-skinned Chinese have a harder time. I could be wrong. It was a while ago.

You know it! Just check the stats and you can determine who should be on the team. The Owners association votes on who is allowed to own a team and from what I remember the NFL has yet to approve anybody black regardless of their financial standing..

I think there was a book published several decades ago called 'A Nation of Cows'....
and besides that, ancient manuscripts show that we/ common humans/ are considered as commodities to be bought and sold like chattel, our souls being not considered of any value to the 'owners' as they buy and sell and exchange lives daily , sometimes maybe millions of lives ....

Take another look at who the CEOs are. 90+% white case closed

So how many black CEOs should we have?

How many blacks applied for and were equally if not more qualified for those jobs and didn't get them because they were black?

In China a dark skin indicates time working
outdoors, low paid labour's. That is class.

In Asia people like lighter skin as more attractive.
It's the same whether or not there was one African
ever existed. It's nothing to do with them.
Racism / blacks is not the axis the world revolves on.

You failed to follow what I said about goal
post, then ran with it again.
