Race Issues ...

As a christian I have several issues with Racism , God didn't say Love thy neighbor unless he is black...he only said "love they nieghbor".

Quite frankly that should be clear enough.

Before I go to far into this spill I have to fess up...I as a white male would not allow myself to become romanticly invovled with a black female, not because I couldnt be able to find a black female attractive ...but more because life is complicated enough for a white person or a person of color ...but for a mixed raced child it would just be insane.

That said the only real reason there are race issues is the factor if ignorance.

Before anyone suggests to me about the jail population being mostly black I want to say first that I understand a lot of what I have seen in the news ....and I do believe that there is racial profiling ...and I UNDERSTAND most of what I read or watch about these crimes.

The bottom line is that middle aged WHITE males scare me more than the average black male does. The reason is this I understand If "Jessie" had a little to much to drink while playing cards with "John" and felt that he was cheated and it turned out bad.

I have a little more trouble understanding the train of thought behind serial killers...and I think that if you do your reserch you will find that most serial Killers are white male between the ages of 30 and 50.


I have seen Race Issues in ways that most people could not imagine because of my carrer path....asa copier repairman for a number of years I was called to make repairs on copiers in all parts of Memphis Tn and I even saw race issues in churches ...

Churches of all places !

There is no Band aid that will take care of this problem ...The solution has been to long in the making and the issues are to complex to make an effort like the current one about banning the "N" word.

How about instead of Banning the "N" word we do some real teaching about the all of the things that black cluture has brought to the human race...and I am not talking about Rap Music ...thank you very much.


People have no idea how Black cluture has impacted our lives :

I'll give you an example :

Have you ever heard the expression "The Real Mc Coy"

Here is where that came from ...

Elijah McCoy
Elijah McCoy (1843–1929) invented an oil-dripping cup for trains.

Fast Fact: Other inventors tried to copy McCoy's oil-dripping cup. But none of the other cups worked as well as his, so customers started asking for "the real McCoy." That's where the expression comes from.

Here is my scorce :
