“I might not agree with the wisdom (in fact certainly would disagree in some areas) about the black community’s point of view. But at least I would want to understand what it is. Then I can reason concerning the wisdom.”

There isn’t one ‘wisdom’ in the black community (such as it is today). That demographic isn’t nearly as monolithic as many outsiders assume it is. Viewpoints and considerations vary widely, though some are prevalent enough to be noticeable, such as political affiliation.

Talk to ten black people about the current state of affairs with the black ‘community’, and you’re liable to get ten different answers regarding causes and effects. It all depends on who you talk to, and what their socio-economic situation is.

Doubtless you are right. There are multiple threads of thought. I suspected the same even in BLM. There are some evil soreheads who see red wherever they go (the extreme case being the Dallas shooter), and then others who see yellow lights in certain places.

All I can offer, perhaps, is prayers, and maybe a kind word to those who are affected. And that’s not always easy. Our common enemy — I know you aren’t deep into theology but at least hear me out — isn’t even other people. It’s an incredibly evil angel who took it on himself at the beginning of history to defy God in whatever manner he possibly could. Different terms appear in the faith community and the bible: Old Scratch or the devil or Satan or the serpent or the Accuser (and many more bad things). The only total safety from that evil angel is in the arms of God who will forgive all in the work of reconciliation. God in wisdom allows some, but not all possible, evils to occur in order to highlight that we need to head for His embrace.
