Yet we have all been made in God’s image, and we know that Jesus died for the sake of all humanity, and as it says in Revelation, which my tagline refers to, there will be people in Heaven from every nation.

And can’t we easily find so many examples of people of African descent exhibiting truly Christian and/or moral behavior (meaning from the conscience God has given all people), while we can so easily find many examples of people of other ancestries exhibiting unchristian and immoral behavior? We can find endless examples of both.

So then why should it be presumed from incidents like this one that evil behavior is any more in the nature of people of African descent than it is any other people? Humans are evil, as we all witness all around us every day, and that evil will tend to take the form of people’s circumstances. I personally grew up in almost all-white, middle-class and upper-middle class communities, and among the teens and the adults I saw so much evil of many different forms that it could be expected from that alone that young people of poor backgrounds, and in the case of African-American young people, whose families for centuries faced a great deal of systematic harassment, rejection, and sabotage, would also do evil, although of somewhat different sorts than that done by people in different circumstances.
