Re: Anger + Sadness = RAGE
The whole story is sad, but we cannot conclude what happened based on the limited info we all have. And the fact that some of the evidence has been doctored by the media to sway public opinion should have all of us reserving judgment until all the facts are in.
What is even more heartbreaking is the fact that 90% of black homicides are committed by other African Americans and that 83% of white homicides are committed by Caucasians and this fact barely makes a blip on the radar. It's heartbreaking that mainstream media serves to stoke racial division rather than report the news. It's heartbreaking that opportunistic people use innocent folks like the Martin family to garner attention and benefit financially from a persona that exists only if racial division can continue.
Our church is multi-cultural and multi-generational. We maintain unity by focusing on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and being about the Father's business.
