I don't think you understand where I was coming from.

How can you say the Septuagint is translated from Hebrew without a manuscript? It's a lie bro

The dea sea scrolls does outdated the Septuagint but you can even see the words on that bitch. Its hell of old

Your arguing a moot point.

The fact that the dead sea scrolls include all the books (except Esther and Nehemiah), and are written in traditional and paleo hebrew indicates the origin of the sacred texts.

You are arguing it being a European creation. That's not the case.



My bad for the derail tho. I'm done.

Bro, you don't even know what's in the Dead Sea scrolls. You trying to contribute ancient text to the bible without any proof of anything. What you're doing is speculating . And , my point still stands that the bible is European written in Greek. The Septuagint proves my point. good day sir

Y’all just be saying shit and then say black people are victims when no other race would take this type of treatment quietly. But to y’all if a nigga don’t have an immediate solution to fix the community then he has no legitimate gripe. That’s how it comes off.

give a solutiion for anything!

please.

otherwise what you saying?

this shit is fucking disgusting.

sick spit out saliva sick.

but you dont call this coonery?

this is where people are....black people?

a black woman gives a white woman a bible after the white women killed a black man.

the white chick gets support and tries to get converted to the perverted religion that taguht a black mans brother to hug his killer?

all this makes sense?

i was pissed off at her but then saw dude hug her.....im done.

i cant even be mad at her...shit i cant even be mad at him.

man real shit.........i was kinda tired earlier and woke up and read this completely.....

its strikes a nerve close to home for me.....an im not thinking clearly with this shit....

but this is raper a mother and sister and law forgive the raper type shit.

and i saying who should forgive and how? no but i can be mad that this person just added to the image of soft ass black men in the US.

]forgive and fold for white people but niggas really want all the smoke with each other.

frfr?

@Lurk Rambis what does this have to do with slavery?

right niow.........what part does slavery play. today.
was slavery playing a part yesterday? for either one of them?
what are we as black people doing so that we do not think about slavery at this moment?

this is about how this man was raised. his own damn father wants to be friends. thats taught how to forgive the killer of your family.

that man didnt come from the fields....he can to the court room and can speak english.

dont blame slavery for this.....this is modern day fuckery .
its alot of black men that would not even think to forgive.....so slavery is not to blame.
unless only a few of us are past it and others are not.

not trying to hear shit

No, but the point is this idea that every black person has to be hardened is what's stupid. If you wouldn't hug your brother's killer, that's fine, but why do you care so much about what another man does? Not to mention that he probably would have done the same if his brother was killed by some black robber, so would be calling him a subservient slave negro then too?

this goes so many other places and is a very powerful poast....but lets save it for another thread. simpliy because black men are always supposed to act a certain way but then we not supposed to act a certain way.

always beneficial.

How does being forgiving mean you can't be against racism? I could see if he hugged her and forgave her before the verdict and then said it didn't really matter to him if she was convicted or not. You'd have a point then. That's not what happened though. The family fought for justice, and once they believe they got it, some of them have forgiven the chick. How does that hurt anyone?

I don't really disagree with what you're saying specifically, but you seem to be implying that you can't seek justice and also be forgiving. That's not true at all. You're right. You can't love and forgive racism away. You also can't hate and grudge it away. Racism is born from ignorance and the only things that will end it are education for those that are willing to learn and death for those that aren't. So no, I don't believe this dude hugging that chick is going to suddenly turn a lot of racists away from their ways, but it's also not going to make racism any worse or more prevalent. So, that being the case, if forgiving that chick can help the family close the door on this and move on, why is it such a bad thing you all?

Being forgiving has proven ineffective against racism. It does not solve the problem.
It's also what racist promote the most black to people, because they know how nonthreatening it is to white supremacy.
Also, as I've stated, forgiveness in the case of many black people (not all) is an excuse to not deal with the problem of injustice done to them.
It explains away the wrong done to them as something divinely out of there hands to just suffer through.

What's even worst is that those same black people will be hypocrites if crossed by another black person.
If someone owes them money, if their lover cheats on them, if someone hurts their feelings, forgiveness wouldn't be on the table.
But the moment it's white supremacy doing them wrong, they want to bring their bible out.

That family is horribly mistaken if they think they got justice.
Black people are in prison for far longer for doing far less than Amber.
This type of behavior further perpetuates the power of a corrupt system and the lack of value for black lives in our country.
They are fools, or complicit, for not realizing it.
 
Just to make sure that there is no confusion or misunderstanding let me make this perfectly clear. In the event that I am murdered godforbid, I DO NOT want the people who love me to hug and forgive the murderer. I want justice, accountability and retribution. Anyone in my family who would let my innocent blood spill in vain is here and forever more disowned from my lineage.


I can't understand why you white jesus worshippers can't understand that simple premise.

True but it's also been going on for so long. I don't see the confusion. I understand the frustration of it though because we know better and we should be doing better.

Maybe that was a frustration question and not confusion question.

I agree with what you're saying based on the mindsets you're speaking to. However, I don't think most people preaching forgiveness do so because they believe it alone can solve racism or because they think it excuses them from the fight. To me, that seems to be something you made up. I don't doubt there are people that fit into both camps, but I doubt it's a representative sample.

Anyway, I don't think you and I are at odds. I'm ok with people being forgiving even in circumstances like this. However, like you said, this guy's action isn't going to change the world, and in general people have to understand forgiveness isn't enough. You can be forgiving, but you still have to fight for justice.

As for whether or not the family got justice, I don't know to be honest. I think it all depends on if you really believe the chick's story that she was drunk and walked into the house on accident. If they really bought that it was all a mistake, then 10 years seems fair. If you don't believe that, which I don't, then 10 years is too light. Maybe if she got a mandatory 10 years that would be better since we all know she's not going to serve that number now.
