  At this point, it's pretty obvious to me that the GB are not in charge. They are just frontmen.

  There's a shadowy cabal that's really in charge and these guys are just trotted out to do the dirty work. They are made to look like asses and it seems they are really good at fulfilling that role.

  Perry, there are a few other Christians who post on this site, however, none get jumped on as much as you.

  Have you done any serious self-reflection to see why this might be so?

  the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

  but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

  i was talking to a jw last night.

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  Simon, have you ever been to the US? Because what you say seems to make a lot of sense in the abstract, but just doesn't represent the reality of life in here America.

  I think the thread is mistitled. I believe that " Here's an Inflammatory Post and Then I'll Downvote Everybody Who Responds" would be more appropriate.

  I would disagree on the "genuine human solidarity" part. Maybe the national media didnt pay attention, but the day after the riot, hundreds of neighbors and city residents came out and personally cleaned up the mess. They didn't wait for the taxpayer funded city of Baltimore Public Works department to do it. These people care about their city and their neighborhood and are willing to work together to clean up other people's mess.

  White people are notoriously bad at discerning class or potential threat by the way black folks dress. If you're black, you're suspect. It's the overriding consideration in any encounter with a black person. And, I say this as a white American, "tattling" on those other white folks around me. A black man in a suit is, first and foremost, a black man.

  A distinction without a difference. For all intents and purposes, it's racism.
