Mat_15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Luk_6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? And your point? Verna, -Wally doesn't have a point relevant to the subject we have been discussing.
When he gets backed into a corner, -he just starts throwing out bible verses even when they haven't anything to do with the subject at hand.

well if that doesn't prove those verses true i don't know what does... I guess you’re implying that I am blind? Is that your point? If that means that I do not have complete understanding as in there are many things I do not see clearly - yay for you - you are correct. But I am not intentionally blind which I think be part of your problem.

It’s something I don’t have down and although tempting, I doubt I will take it up. I might though if pushed. Could be good for a chuckle.

by everything you say on here....you got 31k posts here you wade through all 31k and figure it out... I have seen no indication at all that dmm hates white folks. That is silliness.
I doubt she hates whites, but her post have indicated some disdain towards whites. She believes in reparations, forcing whites to hand over their money to blacks. She seems to believe that every white person is 'privileged'. The socialist playback is to instill white guilt, where every white person is guilty of systemic racism. The over-all gist of her post suggest a bias against anyone who's white. Or maybe that's just me?

To stand up for one. does not in any way mean to denigrate the other. But yes it is humbling to see how our human inclination toward power can make us a cruel bunch of creatures. We can do better.

...and just where have I ever indicated that I ""hate white folks?" by everything you say on here....you got 31k posts here you wade through all 31k and figure it out..
I don't have to "wade" though my posts to know that I have never indicated in any way that I "hate white folks"
Just because that I am able to understand what people of color and other races endure and I can empathize & share their feelings, -even in a small way, -does not mean that I have to "hate" some one else!
That is crazy!

Just saw on the news that Prime Minister Scott Morrison has extended the lock down for Sidney for another 4 weeks.. Good Times Doesn't anyone in Australia need to work? Where do you all get your money from?
They are thinking of mandating mask in the U.S. again for everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.. So much for the effectiveness of the vaccines!

Dan a couple of corrections . It is Sydney, not Sidney. The Prime Minister does not control lockdowns, State Governments have that responsibility. In Australia and New Zealand we have a wonderful thing called the Anzac spirit. It binds us together and we support one another. That makes all the difference. ANZAC values include such human qualities as courage, mateship, fairness, persistence, integrity, humour, initiative, endurance, determination, ingenuity, respect, and the "selfless spirit of ANZAC"

Historically your correct, blacks have faced discrimination and abuse. I just don't agree that its prevalent today, or at least very rare. There is equality today, programs like Affirmative Action even gave blacks an advantage. Being a Good Samaritan is paying the taxes necessary to help; Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), public housing, scholarships, and free cell phones don't grow on trees. Making whites feel guilty for being white is just an effort to exploit more free stuff.

I knew it was spelled Sydney, just a typing error.. We have many of those same attributes, minus fairness, integrity, respect, and the selfless spirit of ANZAC. Covid isn't our biggest problem, we're too busy killing each other these days. In some big cities, your more likely to be beaten or killed than dying from covid19.

Dan, a very sad situation. We can only hope that your people change their attitude and not be so aggressive. Pacifism is the answer.
The Anzac spirit is much the same as humanism, more effective than religion.

If you study history, most injustices suffered by groups, be they ethnic or religious, never go away. They carry on for centuries, and feed on themselves.
While the British did a lot wrong when they colonised countries, here in our country they tried to do a better job and formed a Treaty with the Indigenous people, called the Treaty of Waitangi, which is where it was signed. It is a living document and forms the basis for many of our laws. Where the Government has broken those laws, reparation has been agreed and paid, and with an apology. It is the only way to deal with a grievance successfully. Yes it costs, but the value far outweighs the cost, especially if a grievance is left to fester.
Reverse racism, such as Affirmative Action is not the answer. It only put petrol on the flames.
Our Ngai Tahu Trust, Ngati Ruanui and other similar Iwi are proof that it works, and everyone shares in the wealth creation.

The idiots who should be wearing masks don't. It would be easier to police if everyone wears them.
