Racist? That word is a bit overused just like Antisemitism. When we observe the facts and report the facts, we are then policed by ourselves. This is done by being shamed. Shamed by being called a racist. I know you didn't call me a racist, but that is what is being implied. The young black culture is motivated by aspiring to go to jail. Does that sound racist? Or does that sound like the truth? I happen to know my statement extremely well, sadly. Due to someone very dear to me. Rap music, what is its main theme? I'll let you or any others fill in the blanks. White liberals have pushed an agenda that doesn't help anyone, black, or white.

In Christianity there is no race, but the race of Jesus Christ. But alas we are told over a pulpit that there is a physical race which is preferred by God above the Church. To question that, and try to make an argument is met by the title Antisemitic. While some take things to ridiculous and sometimes hateful extremes, when we look at facts they are just facts. We need to stop looking at the bug on the leaf, and start moving towards the vast forest. The Church is the only WAY out of this mess. The mess (in this country) is about to get a whole lot worse.

Most def not calling you a racist and didn't mean to imply that you are one. I agree with everything you said about rap music, drug culture and violence being promoted in the black community.

I probably should have researched the guy who created the video, but just at first glance, him saying "crime has a color" seemed pretty racist. You could certainly find videos of white folks committing horrible crimes. Would we then make the same statement that crime has a color?

I know there are statistics regarding crime and color, but he didn't give any statistics. He simply showed two videos of black men committing crime.

I believe that the individual who makes the comments is being as raw as he can be. For obvious reasons. One being that we live in a world where calling out this sort of behavior is not politically correct. Do whites commit horrible crimes? Yes, but if you ask if the white culture aspire to go to prison, through its culture, you would hear no. Is this across the board within the black community? Absolutely not!!!! People are people, skin color has nothing to do with our content of character. Christianity must reach the young black community to overcome a sagging trouser, rap listening, weed smoking, jail cred culture.
