Am I wrong?

Perhaps correct, BBB.

To repeat what I added in my above post when you posted, I think dys's thread here points up one thing, if you are looking for something, you will find it, and that includes failure and unhappiness. Self fulfilling prophecy, and thats what I think alot of people's problems are in regard to race and a whole host of other things. To wallow around in this is not productive, and my recommendation is to forget it for a while and the problem would subside. Thats why I said what I did about obsessing over it, and that is what alot of this is.

As I said in an earlier post, I think racism and tribalism have a lot in common. Some people are more evolved from tribalism than others.

Woe! Chew on that for a while, dys. In fact, that should arouse the interest of alot of people.

We have the Five Civilized tribes in Oklahoma, cyclops, but that is about as close to any tribes that I align with.

if you want to see tribalism, look at your own party right now.

So are you going to eliminate nations, BBB? How funny. Then we have worldism, another form of tribalism. I knew where you were going with it, but if you want to see tribalism, look at your own party right now.

Right?

There is no more insular and tribalistic group in America, then the white male power structure known as the Republican party.

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love

The black theologian must reject any conception of God which stifles black self-determination by picturing God as a God of all peoples

Snood is a medium?

Who knew!

Okie's recommendation about racial strife is "forget it for awhile, and the problem will subside".


Dang. (slapping forehead with heel of palm) So simple.

Dwight D Eisenhower had once said
"politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen".
Yes and all the citizens around the globe should take this sane advice and should not allow the criminals, scoundrels to engage in politics as full time looting job.
