But, of course, Eric thinks it's wrong for anyone to ever offer criticism of a group of people...unless you're a member of that group.
Guess none of us can voice any disgust at the events of 9/11 until we become Muslim, emigrate to Saudi Arabia, and take up jihad as a hobby.
It's among the most ridiculous, vacuous reasoning I've seen on the BB.
That's
not what I said. The vacuous reasoning is what you subtly rephrase things to say.
I said it was BETTER to criticize one's group. Because it's too easy to talk about
someone else, and then put them down, and raise yourself up, making yourself the standard. Look at Phil.2:3; Rom.3:9.
The same with the Arabs. A group of Arabs came and attacked us. When you turn this into a judgment on the
whole ethnic group, and start talking about "they're still in the stone age; they used to do stuff like invent the zero, but now their civilization deteriorated while
ours became superior" as I used to hear back then; that's MORE than simply "voicing disgust". You have judged every single individual in the group, including those who have come to Christ.
So you can bash the
actual attackers all you want, and no one will criticize you. But people always go beyond that, into comparing them to "us".
Neither have you.
You've spent every post trying to say no one of another race has the right to discuss it.
The facts are on the table. The source is a black woman. Tell us why she doesn't have a right to talk about it. Then tell us why no one but another black person can discuss it.
Then explain the numbers.
We all agree the problem is sin. That goes without saying. So, tell us why one group is far more guilty of killing their babies in the womb than any other group.
Stop hiding from the facts behind meaningless rhetoric and veiled accusations of racism.
You seem to wan to intentionally ignore the fact that many black people agree with the op. Your argument is moot.
More than that. He's laughably trying to change the focus of the argument to me, without even once dealing with the facts posted in the OP.
When one works to derail a thread they can just be ignored.
You two are unbelievable. Nobody derailed your thread but you. [one of] you just spent several posts trying to goad me into calling you a racist. So
I'm trying to make it about
you?
And nobody even argues about how many black people agree with the argument, and what is that even supposed to prove? Just something you can throw filler comments about us "ignoring facts" with. But I don't even see any figure saying "many" agreed with it.
The spotlight seems to come back to you, because you're the ones starting these threads. You put these "facts" out there, and then
DEMAND for US to come to some sort of conclusion from them. We respond, but
you don't accept anything we say. You call it all "excuses".
So then, there must be only one "right answer" you will accept, but we're not getting it. So then why don't you spit it out then?
You even say it's not "sin" (the
Biblical answer), so it must be something else.
What else do you want US to say? Why are
you beating around the bush?
I see now you give us a "veiled" clue with this "racial or cultural problem". But that does not help you. A "cultural" problem points back to
sin; but
you already told us that was not it. (Of course not, because that will always eventually implicate
ALL of man,
in one way or another, and you want it to be only
one group's
exclusive problem).
So all are sinners, yet we
compare which groups (not even individuals) are "more guilty" (flies against everything the New Testament teaches us, from the Sermon on the Mount to Paul's teachings; like God grades on a curve or something!)
So you stop being so "veiled" and come out and tell us what this "explanation that will get you tagged as racist" really is, then.
