All of this is coming from a poster who's avatar is one of THE MOST racist representations in the USA!!! So your little rant doesn't surprise me at all. I don't know who you think you are, but don't you ever come at me telling me how I should feel as a Catholic and especially, as a black...

I knew it!! I knew there was something different about your experience. Tell me: Did your parents tell you that you were "better" than black Americans? And don't you dare bring skin tone into this! That's a whole different conversation all together with a 400 year history behind it. And that...

I did no such thing. I just want everyone, including the media, to stop lumping all the protesters under one large "Black Lives Matter" umbrella and using it as excuse to say "BLM does ___ insert illegal activity here ___ and BLM does ___ insert hateful act here ___ ". Once again, I repeat...

https://www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=RC-Cqkq6zWc Here is the link to the youtube video you imbedded. That video, which was shot in 2012 by the way, was so heavily edited, it's laughable. In fact, one of the commentators actually emailed the president of one of the colleges in which one of...

When I said "you" in my post, I did not specifically mean "MoonlessNight" even though I quoted you. However, I will emphatically say that I do not believe that you care about how black men are treated by police officers in the US. Not once did you make a post about the men that were killed by...

Let me ask you, have you seen the tweets from the cops that were hugging the black kids? Or the videos where the black protesters were hugging the white and opposing protesters, and they ended up holding hands in prayer and joined also by a police officer? Or the numerous facebook posts by black...

Please show me that these people that are getting in these confrontations and are shouting for cop deaths are officially a part of the BLM organization. For all you know, these are just some people protesting with another group of people and they went off the rails. You only see a bunch of...

It's been about four years since I've posted on this site and I see little has changed. The same things that drove me away are still here. Some posters here that call themselves Catholic are neither loving or edifying as our Lord commanded. Empathy is non-existent to most. As a black Catholic...

(I sense some condescension in your question, but I'll humor you anyway.) Absolutely not. I ignored him because his rant was way off base. So why continue to discuss this. If I say something was offensive to me, and you write 4 paragraphs on why I'm supposedly wrong, you're not listening and...

Thanks Mike! I appreciate it. :)

Sir, I don't know you personally. I said your words were offensive to me, and you come off as semi-racist. Again, I don't know you so I can't call you a racist. However, your words are telling me that it's a possibility. The fact that you discount how I feel is enough for me. I ignored...

Exactly. My folks tell me stories today about what they had to go through when they were younger. Heck, I've been through racist crap too and I'm not even 40 yet.

WE got away with OJ? And slaves did not have a choice of owners or the choice to not be a slave. I try Mike. I really do. Reading threads like this though is soooo disheartening. I will pray from them - you are right Mike. I may have to go to confession really quick after this thread is...

Orthodox huh? Look around your church and tell me how many black faces do you see? And the black people that you see rioting are .00001% of the black population. So you decide to use that small amount and use it as an excuse to paint us all with a broad brush? Most of the black people I...

What stuff have we gotten away with exactly?

What in the heck makes you think that WE don't get upset over black-on-black crime??? I can't believe that you even typed that - but then again, yes I can. The difference is that no one outside the black community cares about it, so most of (white) america doesn't care about it. The media...

Oh good grief. I was speaking metaphorically. Plus, Ephesians Chapter 5 does not speak of apples and oranges.

This is the real question! To go deeper, I know one has to believe all of the Church's dogmas, but what about the Church's doctrines? Does one have to believe all of those as well? And why does it have to be all or nothing? I love my husband. We made vows before and with God. I don't...

As a black person, I don't even know how to respond to this. But make no mistake about it, I think your comment is totally out of order. Just because you see things one way does NOT mean that it's correct. I am extremely disappointed with some of the comments on this Catholic forum from...

You missed the point. It's not about what the Priest or Deacon may want for himself. It's about the people's perception of that Priest or Deacon. When they speak, everyone (most) listens because of their positions. They are perceived to be knowledgeable and also authoritative which...
