  • 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.

Yeah, I forgot about white people being slaves as well. I was reminded of it when watching the movie 12 Years a Slave.

A lot of people disagree (including you and I, I'm sure) with the 'eye for an eye' philosophy, particularly Christians, who believe in the 'turn the cheek' philosophy, attributed to Jesus Christ, at his Sermon on the Mount.

You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.​

Only the case here seems to be "Your eye for my great-great grandparent's eye". It would be more understandable if what's going on now was happening during slavery or soon after it was abolished. But when it's 153 years after that point where neither the slaves or their parents, nor the slave owners or even their parents are even alive today to want to take the "eye" of another person based on skin color, it's starting to look like there will be no end to it no matter how much time has passed.
