i always understood the term 'black' (or 'black', if you write for the guardian) to refer to sub-saharan africans or people of sub-saharan african origin.. but, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.. so, apparently barack obama is black - 'the first black president of the united states'.. and lewis hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in formula one.. and jordan peele is a black film director, apparently.. and then there's meghan markle.. there may also be people of pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.. and, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.. barack obama, lewis hamilton, jordan peel, halle berry and meghan markle are all biracial (mixed-race).

they're not black.

disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.. .

Do you realize that major newspapers capitalize black?

Remembering Rutherford

he seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.

rutherford died at beth sarim on january 8, 1942, at the age of 72.

[220] cause of death was...carcinoma of the rectum..."[21] .

I’m sure Charlie Manson said some good things in his lifetime but it wouldn’t prevent me from saying he was still a horrible human being. From my research on Rutherford, he doesn’t appear to be the man of God that you might envision.

I think we are pretty much in agreement. When you were expressing yourself regarding Rutherford, it seemed to suggest that since you didn’t see many of the negatives that were expressed about him by posters that you weren’t of the mind to believe these allegations were true. Certainly your prerogative but that’s why I questioned whether you were an apologist of some sort but it seems you need to thoroughly research everything about the man and his writings to make a judgment. lol I’m glad you are not on a jury.
