Casino67 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Western Journalism: Racism: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race; the belief that some races of people are better than others. Have you noticed we’ve stopped talking about ways to overcome racism? We appear to have allowed the problem to overwhelm any consideration of solutions. Most of our talk these days focuses on making accusations, on race-baiting, and on using race as a way to control or demonize or manipulate others. Moron talk in the NFL consumes the air waves, not as a basis for exploring remedies, but merely for entertainment value. Racism is no longer a social ill. It’s a political weapon. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. never pulled a punch speaking about injustice; but he didn’t leave it there, like so many do today. No, instead, he moved the discussion forward, emphasizing two parallel subjects: non-violent activism and racial reconciliation. Why did he do that? Moved by the Spirit, he was an agent of true progress, a patriot and a man of God, interested in everyone’s betterment regardless of race. He urged us to live up to our ideals and form a more perfect union, saying that character was far more important that skin pigment. That’s where our focus should remain.

Valin Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I look on this as a golden opportunity to be very very snarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
