I don’t know why you assume race wasn’t a factor; many poor blacks listen to “leaders” who insist race is everything, and oppression by whites is the reason for the misery of so many blacks.
Do you really think the outcome would be the same if the victim looked like one of the perps’ sisters or mothers? I don’t - and as other FReeper are pointing out, imagine if the races were reversed.
I don’t know how many naïve whites need to watch these outcomes before they learn; it is a shame that the reality is concealed by the enemedia.
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.
