The fact that he feels compelled to ask demonstrates the degree to which this society has decayed.
Sigh. That was the first thing I came away with as well.
Amen. But even more nefarious is that society has gotten to the point where the thought of reporting a crime is now tempered by race. The press has beaten the populace into utter submission for fear of being labeled "racist".
Hey, here’s the help....
Thou shall not steal. (period!) Exodus 20:15 GOD
It’s a colorless and non-specific how things will end with the sin commandment.
Kwame Appiah...maybe he had pangs of guilt because it was a brother?
I wonder if this dipwad would have felt OK calling the police if it was a white man breaking into the car?
What if it turned out that the white man was a trans-sexual? Would that have guilted the writer?
I once lived in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia which is not far from the dividing line of the ghetto North Philly. It was a common sight to see in the morning lines of cars with windows smashed to grab whatever possible. It was “part and parcel” and police could do nothing or would do nothing about it. The a-hole mayor at the time declared Philadelphia to be run by “brothers and sisters” and they were the MAJORITY but always cried minority and blasted any “gentrification” as whites tried their best to keep neighborhoods clean and crime free.
The most recent I can recall is the state attorney in Maryland looking to overturn 5000 marijuana convictions or Grand Rapids, MI calling it a human rights ordinance, working to criminalize calling the police on POC who are "participating in their lives".
Those are just two I can think of. Many others.
