Let us consider that Jews have been the most persecuted race in the World. With six million killed in Nazi concentration camps and in ancient time slaved by Egyptians today attacked by Palestine and other enemies.

The Jewish are not taking vengeance but trying to fend for their Lives to defend that small nation of Israel which the US in the past has helped them.

Now in the civil war it was the north against the south. Many whites died along with Blacks over the issue of slavery. Meaning many white people was on the side of black people while others were against them.

They were put down in the past by white groups of people.

But today I have not seen it.

Just as the Jews are forgetting the past so shall the black try to live in the same example.

Keep bringing it forward and it remains a current problem. Leave it in the past and we can all get along.

Jesus says make peace with all men if possible. Your race does not matter. It’s the attitude and the spirit the mind which draws people to get back to take vengeance.

But in truth Blacks also kill a lot of blacks as well.

There is a lot of pride hatred superior thinking bringing up the past.

All other races I know don’t have big racial issues. Not bringing up the past of past events.

They Live and move in and today’s white America in most part has moved on except a few minority white radical groups.

With whites and Latinos being majority in this country who did they vote in office? Barack Obama. Where is our prejudice now?

It is the past recent Death of Michael Jackson who was black had more news on him than Elvis or John Lennon of the Beatles. .
Michael Jackson most likely has more white fans world wide.

We know what the white racists did in the past. But we are not them.

Listen to the Lord and place it in the hands of GOD. America is too much of a melting pot these days of nations from all over the world.

Most races are getting along but mostly blacks bring up the past even those who have not lived that era.

We are a nation of all nationalities. Let us all get along. We can't change the past. But we can change the present. Let’s not repeat bad history.

We can't undo what has already been done by those in the past. Accept us for who we are now. Not for what our ancestors were.

When Jesus said kingdom against kingdom and nation against nation perhaps even this also means even within the country's borderlines.

It is an awful past. And it is not good at this present.
but we whether black white Indian or any other race need to walk in the Light of God and make peace with those whoever you can and are able to all on friendly kindness on all sides of both or more parties involved.

The World has division. But The Body of Christ does not.

The true body of Christ is one under GOD, One Love One GOD, One Heaven., One Earth. One baptism through one Savior Jesus who unites his people but the world lives in division.

Are you suggesting that Michael Jackson got more publicity because he was black ?
Because I would have to disagree and say his colour was nothing to do with it.

How many people do you know, back in 1977 when Elvis died or 1980 when Lennon died, not only had PC's in their home, let alone access to the internet ?

How many people do you know who had satalite television in 1977 and 1980 ?
Television that can beem in news in minutes, almost as it happens ?
I don't know about the States but back then here in the UK, we had two television channels, BBC and ITV.

His colour had nothing whatsoever to do with getting more publicity. He got more publicity because of advances in technology.

sometimes I feel a bit of a nit,, it never occurred to me that Michael Jackson was dark skinned,,, I know he had a problem with his appearance but ,,, he was a singer, thats all I can think about him.

Well, I would hold that opinion but I've been thinking about that. Wonder would that insult a black person even though the remark was meant with the best intentions ?

erm I dunno, maybe people should go round with badges,,
if it matters, are they not racist too ? I dunno.

I didnt see how many brown eyed people behaved badly
or how many blue eyed people behaved badly...
I know how many red heads behave badly

The very act of putting people into catagories by a physical appearance is biggotted.......... I dare say we all do it without thinking.

No, I dun mean that. What I mean is, some people may hold the argument that if we don't " see " what they are then we don't " see " them as an individual.
Always remember an episode on Inspector Wexford where a young black girl was missing. Police found the body of a young black girl and called the Mother in to identify the body.
She said, that's not my Daughter, why did you ask me to do this ?
The policeman said,,,, well, um,, cos shes black.
The Mother said, excuse me but didn't you read the description I gave you of my Daughter ? My Daughter has one finger missing, yet you just saw black and didn't see " the person ".

Would be a bit like if you'd spent a lot of time and money making yourself look nice, P didn't say a word, you asking " well ? ", him going and when you got shirty with him for not noticing, him saying,,, um,,, I didn't notice, I just see people.

Not very flattering is it really ?

I mean, I always thought like that but then I started to think, well maybe if I go around with the best intentions just saying, oh I just see people, I kinda thought, thats not seeing individuals really is it ?

how can you have the same colour skin as a few million others and use it to claim individuality ? or did I miss something ?

I cant get that in the same catagory,,, I dun make up the same as others, I dont dress the same as others, I didnt pay for my skin colour, I am a little peaky compared to other caucasions .. but I aint sure how that fits in Lil..

I am not out to flatter, I am not out to anything, I just dont care what colour skin is.

And just a question,, How come this only matters with darker skins,,, no one mentions Olive skinned people, or the very pale skinned from scandanavia, it confuses me
