Interesting. The ones who seem angry are those who say heritage not hate then tells one to foad.
You sense the fact that for the last 2 weeks I have relentlessly been called racist. Yep I’m angry. I would never wish for someone to FOAD.
I grew up in the south. From my perspective PEOPLE in the south live next to each other in peace. Most of the PEOPLE in that church were the same type of PEOPLE I’ve been getting hugs from, or giving hugs to my whole life. Good Christian folks or PEOPLE if you like. I wrote a post last week, that I can’t write again because I tear up every time I think about it. Please go read this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3302293/posts Post #44, if you want to know how a true southerner feels about race. (sorry about the copy and paste)
Yep I’m angry, and getting angrier. I hoped this was going to calm down when the victim’s families spoke of forgiveness and God’s love in that courtroom, but no all that did was piss off the left and the media who aren’t getting their riots.
Now we have Shabazz, and Farrahkhan calling for destroying the American flag, and calling for a Race War. Would any of the PEOPLE in that church that night be doing this, or want this done in their name?
Slavery was bad. Slavery is bad. But I ain’t never owned anyone. None of my friends growing up was ever owned by anyone. It’s part of black heritage I get that, but it’s hard to respect someones heritage when yours is deemed evil. It would be like me blaming one of my friends for a mugging committed by someone neither one us knows.
My heart was broken by the shooting. When I heard those family members that day in court, I had tears running down my face as I knew I was hearing the voice of God right there on TV.
The shooting is over. We can’t undo it by attacking someone else. What we can do is what we have always done in the south in my lifetime, gather together, hold hands, ask God to not let it happen again, and go back to being neighbors again.
