George Floyd Not a Christian?

[Salty]

I sure hope no Christian who God gave darker skin comes to this site. In fact I hope no person of color, regardless of faith comes to this site. This is just embarrassing.

Unless someone volunteers their info - we have no ideal - as we do not ask for race or several other classes! So, there very well could be several on Board.

Just because a person mentions race - DOES NOT mean he is racist.

Suppose a person robs me of my wallet. When I talk to the police and they ask me to ID the individual.
So I say - Well, HE was about 5'6", was BALD, walked with a LIMP, wearing OLD and SMELLY CLOTHES,
and he carried a bag that said US ARMY. And he was BLACK.

Does this mean I hate males, short people, those who are bald, and handicap as well as Veterans and poor people.
NO - those things I mentioned are simply for identification. But when it comes to race - many want to assume racism.

The problem comes when police find this 5' 6", bald, limping black man, they beat him up, arrest him, and throw him in the back of the squad car claiming he resisted arrest. If the suspect was described as a 5' 6", bald, limping white guy, they'd arrest him and throw him in the back of the squad car.

That's the difference and this treatment of blacks is what people are protesting.

That's racist!

Where there any Samoans in your hoods growing up?
My mom passed when I was 8, we were homeless during the hippie hay day. Met my Samoan family at 14.
