  • 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.

There's a challenge in this story.​

It's about a little boy in a school in the east end of London. One day he asked his mum if he could have a friend home for tea. As there's a mixture of race in his school, she hesitated. "Is he a cloured boy?" she asked. "I don't know," he replied. "But I'll find out tomorrow"

It seems to me this is a reminder that chlidren are children the World over, and that they simply do not notice what colour other children are-brown, white, black or red, all are one, and all are willing to play with each other and be friends.

So where does race prejudice begin?
Makes you think, doesn't it ?

Race prejudices begin with cultural divisions and differing priorities within and between differing cultures. Thomas Sowell does a wonderful job covering racism and may of the overlooked aspects of it's origins in his book: BLACK REDNECKS AND WHITE LIBERALS. It's a very enlightening read. I highly recommend it!
