Racism was never the norm in America.Oh come on DAD even you can see that this poster comes from a time when racism was the norm.
You really don't know anything about history, do you?Racism was never the norm in America.
You're assuming that the government will always respect the Bill of Rights. News flash: it doesn't.As I have pointed out many times, our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur legally on U.S. soil.
Whether they respect it or not, it ensures no pogrom will occur legally on U.S. soil.As I have pointed out many times, our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur legally on U.S. soil.

Racism was not only rampant in the USA during the 19th and 20th centuries that it was practically applied in many states legally in the form of like; "Blacks sit in the back of the bus"! Or "Whites only" in diners and restaurants.I think he's got the Bible mixed up with Mein Kampf or The Preservation of Favoured Races.
In the eye of the beholder, eh?Showing a White 50's style family and announcing that it depicts the rapture is basically passing the message that only those types of people get to go to heaven!
But it's still a racist picture, right?I stand corrected on the rapture.
No -- there is a 7-year gap between them.Aren't they the same thing basically?
In this case, only after you've been called out on it; and if I was a betting man, I'd bet 50 euros that that picture is still wrong in your eyes, isn't it?(Yes when I do not know something I ask)!
Yes it is.But it's still a racist picture, right?
OK thanks!No -- there is a 7-year gap between them.
Since I did not know the difference between rapture and 2nd coming then suffice it to say I could not know I was incorrect in my assumption. I accepted your word for it since I am not the "Bible expert". Would you like to rub some salt in an imaginary woundIn this case, only after you've been called out on it; and if I was a betting man, I'd bet 50 euros that that picture is still wrong in your eyes, isn't it?
What on earth are you on about AVThat's the thing with you Internet scientists: you can jump in here and accuse us (or something) of being wrong -- then, when it's pointed out that your premise is what is wrong -- we're still wrong.
-- You guys crack me up!
Now they just put them in prison. Is that progress?And yet, lynchings of black people were very common before the civil rights era.
With respect to the Bill of Rights, or in spite of the Bill of Rights?And yet, lynchings of black people were very common before the civil rights era.
... but instead I said:... our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur on U.S. soil.
... our Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will ever occur legally on U.S. soil.
What kind of question is that?And why would it matter whether it's legal or not?
Perhaps he was trying to point out that followers of Jesus must always obey the Lord even if it conflicts with the laws of man. ("No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?")What kind of question is that?And why would it matter whether it's legal or not?
If it happens anyway, legal or no, who cares whether or not the law nominally says it's illegal? It still happens, people still die. That is far more important than any law.
They do. Get used to it. God loves whites. Don't you? He looks at the heart.Racism was not only rampant in the USA during the 19th and 20th centuries that it was practically applied in many states legally in the form of like; "Blacks sit in the back of the bus"!
