Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostDon’t get me wrong, we can’t help how our household or society out our doors was as kids, but not everyone knew racism the same way. I do not ever recall my grandparents or even my great-grandparents ever using a racial slur and would have gone off the handle if they ever heard it. That was not allowed. Maybe Oxi could try to understand that not everyone grew up with a racist family, in the Jim Crow era.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostAnd indeed, you've posted very little in this thread, and I haven't seen you defending arbery's shooters or exaggerating arnery's 'crime' of being in the house under construction. You've not shown one iota of the behaviour that I am ascribing to racism. That is consistent with your claims about yourself."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

I said the focus here was on creating the supporting the idea Arbery deserved to be chased.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 06-19-2020, 08:43 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostNo, I've been saying that the attempt to smear Arbery and justify the chase is stereotypical racist behaviour and that racist behaviour of that sort finds itself supported and encouraged by hell itself.

The McMichaels are clearly responsible for Arbery's death, but to what extent is for the legal system to decide -- and, of course, they will some day have to give an answer to God.
You tried. Have a Golf Clap.
