A Resolution Condemning White Supremacy Causes Chaos at the Southern Baptist Convention

Nope. I am saying social issues are not necessarily racist and shouldn't be broadly grouped that way.

 

So, you cleaned up an inflammatory, racist, motion and passed it anyway knowing full well the original intent if the motion? I know the final bill is worded fine, but should the spirit behind the orig proposal have been a deal killer and ended it right then and there?

 

Uh no. We changed the nature of the resolution so as to condemn what anyone including you and I should always condemn without the inflammatory language that created an alternate meaning and intent. It robbed the original intent of its meaning and turned it in a way that not even the flaming individuals could complain at least publically that they were ignored.

 

The orig intent was to inflame and divide. That should have been a deal ender.

 

It was it did not pass the resolutions committee nor was there a vote in favor of it. Those two actions in and of themselves show it was a deal ender. Now taking the original resolution and removing the inflammatory language means the original intent was reduced to condemning white supremacy and all forms of racism. Do you not also condemn those things?

 

Of course. I would not pass a bill condemning anything if the original intent of the bill was racism. I am Native American. I am definitely not partial to white supremacy. I would not let bad behavior from a group of black men push me to do anything. In like manner, I NEVER support the native pride morons on any of their initiatives.

 

Since you want to get snippy and childlike, I will just tell you that if I was an anything supremacist, it would be a red supremacist. My view, if it came down to strictly race, would be all you homeland invaders can get back to Europe and Africa. Now, can we put the conversation back on an adult level?

 

If the Buffalo ask us to leave, I will then entertain that idea.

 

"White supremacy" is every form of racism? Little wonder that advocating equality is now racism in the eyes of democraps and leftists. An article about Black Lives Matter recently informed that it will accept no white members. Yes or No: is that racism?

As for the SBC, this thread and just about everything else said about its origin is that it was started to defend or support slavery. It was started because of the northern Baptists had resolved no to appoint slaveholders as missionaries. They were probably asked if they would refuse Philemon, but I don't know their answer. Anyway, owning slaves is not a scriptural disqualification for being a missionary. Nevertheless, the SBC first passed a resolution in 1968 advocating for racial equality and declaring that any believer is welcome, and then in the mid-90's there was another one pushing the theatrics with it about how pastors should pick a black Christians (hopefully in their own congregations) and bring them to the front and ask their personal forgiveness for the convention not being more active sooner in pushing for equality. And I remember a few more since then. What are they doing? movie takes or something? In the meantime there are few all-white churches I know about, but many all-black.

 

It deserves no answer.

 

Hilarious, coming from you,

 

You again describe yourself.
If you look back, the question was answered. You are the one slandering me by repeatedly making the inference I am a white supremacist or I am sympathetic to them. Remove the beam from your eye, then you may worry about me. Are you just annoying, a bit slow, or really just outright dumb enough to believe that I would think myself inferior to a white man or be sympathetic to a belief system that says I am?

 

The documented bloodline is Cherokee, Eastern band. I am also Creek, but not fully documentable due to my great grandmother refusing to pass on her tribal information to her descendants.

 

And that attitude is what causes so much division. Gaines was looking to bring people together while still accomplishing something worth while With the original intent set aside and the new intent leaving the originators without reason to complain. The meeting ended peaceful. Complaining about that is absurd.
