In my early readings of Americans history related books, I heard that people in the south called blacks subhuman during segregation era. I come to realize that it may not be derogatory at allTo that comment, I responded "It's not a matter of race or color of skin." "It's all due to Leftist politics (which destroyed the family) and subhuman leadership..."
As to your comment, I think there is a difference between saying that someone else was racist and acted on that racism to murder an innocent person AND that someone else murdered another person because the murderer was of a certain race and people of that race are murderers (i.e., subhuman).
Are many Black people racist because they listen to their leaders who hate whites?
Yes.
Should we also then become racist in response to their hatred of us.
No...because if we do we are no better than they are.
Racism (that is, the stereotyping of people solely because of their race) is evil.
It is evil when it is directed toward you and it is evil when it invades your own soul.
You will note that I did not say that "racism played no part in the crime above."
It most certainly did.
That said, it is our responsibility to resist the temptation to return evil for evil.
I see; thank you for clarifying.
“Should we also then become racist in response to their hatred of us.”
We’re deemed racist for simply exercising caution...
