@knotchoes @SpeechyNY @Bryan_Hawn@CNN Unfortunately, it is never simply a "police custody" situation - ever. It is ALWAYS accompanied by RESISTING ARREST - every. single. time.
Wake me up when a black man without a rap sheet gets hurt or killed in simple "police custody" w/o resisting...
@tedlieu FEEEELINGS, whoa whoa whoa feeeewings...
Well, Ted - it makes me 'feel' nothing, but makes me think DJT is the least hypocritical person in any room, saying outloud what others think, but dare not say.
Oh, wait - I do FEEL warm and fuzzy knowing he lives so LARGE in your mind...
@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp Here is one POV on those questions. Just know there are others, and theology can be a lifelong learning experience, separate from faith

@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp This sounds like you have a very healthy interest in Christian theology. Have you thought about auditing a course nearby?
@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp Thank you for proving my point.
Killing is effective, and there is no innate, natural disinclination of it, as you asserted. While killing for imperialistic/colonial purposes went on, killing for other reasons were discouraged as I described. Debate me, lv silliness out of it
@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp See? You cannot (or will not) actually counter the points made, ie engage in debate. Bc you are self-mired in words and thoughts of others; you have memorized the talking points, and any deviation or challenge scares the bejeebus out of you.
@FountainPenDiva @allinthewhite @chris_notcapn LOL, dense much? Or just disingenuous?
Nobody said Cinderella WAS history - but it is obvious to a blind man that the characters, setting, and accoutrements are all BASED on a WHITE historical background. Based in an African background, the princess would look like this
@allinthewhite @chris_notcapn Except it's the opposite of 'color blind' casting LOL
It's a forced and fake move, a counterfeit.
I don't see why black people want to be part of something that is totally based on, conceived in, and played out of white history.
@chris_notcapn@unionjump That's a cute reply, but not a stable analogy.
It isn't about being 'believable' - it's about being fake, forced, phony. Why do black people want to be inserted into stories based on white history?
@knotchoes @SpeechyNY @Bryan_Hawn@CNN Seriously? It's a simple metaphor.
Maybe you would understand
"Play with fire and you'll get burned"
better?
Plain and simple: live the life of a criminal?
Putting yourself steadily into iffy situations?
Your chance of getting hurt/killed are much higher than the average Joe.
@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp Why didn't the Mayans (and scores of other cultures around the world) know it was wrong to engage in killing for human sacrifice?
Their religion told them it was OK.
OUR religion (during the Conquest by Spanish friars and clergy) told them it wasn't.
@wobujerdao @gcooper146 @posschamp No, actually it isn't "simple"; in trying to make it so is simply engaging in sophistry.
You think you have all the answers down pat, but what you really have is pat answers.
Killing? Effective in lots of ways - that's why we have been killing each other for as long as we have.
