What I don’t understand: How can Christians back a President that condones killing many more innocent victims than enemy [Iraq] and expect any good from it?

Who lined back pockets of those occupying the White House to kill “In the name of Jesus”? Is that really any better than giving Women a right to choose? Is it really better to allow babies to be born when they are unwanted, or the result of immoral practices?

Peaceful dialogue, listening to the “other side” is the only solution here…

Another is titled “Fundamentalism, the Religious Right, and the NeoCon Agenda” Go to: http://www.rootsofdemocracy.com/fundamentalism_agenda.html
This article explains how Fundamentalist ideals in Christianity have polarized extremists among the Muslims, and both sides have to really listen to each other to find peace.

These articles are ongoing, and plan to have blogs like this over there soon.

That may be true. However, it’s an assumption or educated guest at best but not a forgone conclusion.

I have come to the conclusion that the offensive comment that you remain unrepentant about was not knowingly made to insult me personally. But it does prove that you have a biased viewpoint of what white people in general think about black men.

Your comment regarding your employment situation also proves my assertion that racism is no longer institutional in America and that it is a rare and individual condition and not at all the dominant attitude.

BTW, Lionel at least partly agrees with me on that.

I have already answered your vague questions about inner city schools, government and business with my statement that racism is not institutional.

I never said that black people should just need to get over it. The fact is that I know some never will and that is a shame. In some cases it completely understandable depending on how up front and personal it was for them.

I did say that the hope is in the future and that My generation (GEN X) and the (Y Generation/Millennials) are as a group very color blind.

BTW these two generations are larger than even the Baby Boomers, GEN Y has been called the Echo Boom as they are a huge group.

We judge people by the character of their conduct not by the color of their skin.

You do indeed stereo-type white people, but I should not have called you a racist.

For that I would like to ask you to forgive me.
