Why Do Black Leaders Have Preconceived Notions of Guilt When the Races Exchange Roles?

Holder: "Extraordinary circumstances" surrounding Brown's shooting dictated that the feds conduct their own probe

If at first you don’t succeed, try - oops; not that one, but it’s very close. The one I’m thinking of when I heard that the cavalry, in the form of two black leaders, not Black Panthers, although that group are certainly present at this roasting; but these warriors heard that a young black boy got shot by a white policeman during the riots in Ferguson, suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, and they’re here to make sure some white cop gets not necessarily fair but equal treatment.

But wait; fair and equal? How can that be? The cop was not looting and part of the general mayhem prevalent in the scene of the action; only the black boy. And yes, the young black boy was seen and videotaped with a box of expensive cigars in his hand when leaving a store that had been looted.

Just a couple of comments regarding the 'sin of slavery'. First of all, yes - it is a sin. Menstealers are condemned in the Bible. It is an affront to the command to love your neighbor as your self -- and also to the command to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Knowing that man is made in the image of God.

That said, Slavery has been around since the time of Nimrod. It exists today. Captain John Smith of Jamestown fame had been a slave to the Ottoman Turks - until he escaped. There is nothing 'unique' about America regarding the sin of Slavery. Those that are vehement about Slavery as an evil to end all evils should go to the Sudan, and Africa, and fight present day slavers.

The reality of slavery is that no known peoples have not had any of it. St. Paul’s Epistle to Philemon clearly illustrates the fact that slavery existed in the First Century A.D., and that the church did not abolish it immediately. Under the leadership of William Wilberforce, the British took a firm, and expensive, stand against slavery internationally, but not before the Nineteenth Century. But the point is not that there was slavery in Christendom, the real point is that it was Christian leadership - and only Christian leadership - which has ever produced any meaningful reduction in slavery in the world. And if it took a civil war in America to abolish slavery here, consider that while Christians with rifles were the slaveholders in that case, there was never any prospect of the abolition of slavery here - or anywhere else - except by the influence of other Christians with rifles.
