  1. Bright young woman in that clip, but lots of hyperbole. She exaggerates to make her point. Reminds me of the Antitheses in Matthew. Contrast with Lord Jamar‘s interview where he explains why BLM is a sexist & white controlled organization co-opting black concerns to raise money for white people, push unrelated agendas and paint black activists as vandals. The ‘all lives matter’ trope was 2016. Lord Jamar is on point for 2020.
  2. Saw a video by a young black man who was furious that BLM, Inc. tried to prevent him from using the phrase “black lives matter” because he was not authorized by BLM. Also this: Lord Jamar on BLM, Inc. Scrub to 3:30. Contains profanity. It’s not about statues. It’s about street theatre and Biden Laundering Money
  3. Even more interesting is that all of those FRN’s are slave script. They have no asset content but are debt notes which, at the Federal minimum wage, are iou’s on roughly 6 minutes of labor per $1.
  4. Paul, you are basing your opinion on American propaganda. I spent 25 adult years in New Orleans and was professionally involved with many organizations and issues. I could tell stories for days. Obviously you have a good heart but you are low info on American race issues and the war of Northern aggression, which puts you on par with most Americans. The statue thing today is an organized PR stunt. It will be gone shortly after the election.
  5. You want to tear down a monument? https://www.dinosaurkingdomii.com A Virginia attraction documenting the Union Army’s battle against the dinosaurs.
  6. I think this is going to be a memorable Fourth of July.
  7. Grasping at out of context proof texts? 😶 Google causes of the civil war. Especially note the role of tariffs. Historians understand this period well. There was plenty of documentation. And the condereracy WAS in 1816 😉
  8. I worked beside Mitch on Hunger Project stuff and the anti-David Duke campaign. Makes me miss the old New Orleans.
  9. No, the history you learned about 1816 is incorrect but widely taught in middle schools. Read up. The causes were the economy and the desire to grab geopolitical power, as is the case in all wars.
  10. Southern cities handled this well years ago with public meetings, removal and repositioning of statues, etc. All legal and with full and engaged public discussions. No problems. New Orleans is a good example. The vandalism now foist upon us is centered in a few northern liberal cities. Slavery was not legal in Seattle or Minneapolis but still churches are burnt and synagogues defaced there while the mayors refuse to enforce the law. No Confederate statues or schools of course so terrorists tear down statues of Lincoln, women and abolitionists because they were white. The Christian churches and the abolitionists ended slavery yet they are attacked? Jews were leaders in the civil rights movement. This is criminality, not protest.
  11. Slavery was universal in 1861. It stopped only in the west; mostly because of Protestant Christian abolitionists. Christianity and Western civilization uniquely stopped slavery, but some people think we started it. BLM is a registered corporation. It is a Democratic party PAC. They made their own box.
  12. The 1816 conflict was not about slavery at all. It was about the perfectly legal secession of Southern states of the Republic who were being pressed to pay the banking debts of the Northern industrialists. Slavery was practiced in Northern states. New York had more slaves than the entirety of the South, and Lincoln was careful to keep Northern slavery legal in the Emancipation Proclamation. There have been public announcements by the current mob that they intend to start vandalizing Christian churches. They have proudly admitted being trained Marxists, and they are clearly Maoist and not Leninist. Lee is considered a hero because he turned down Lincoln’s offer to lead the Union army as it would cause Him to war against his State of Virginia.
  13. BS. It’s vandalism and reveling in the joy of destruction. Targets included statues of Lincoln, two abolitionists and “Lady Progress”, a tribute to women. This is a mob, not protestors.
  14. Lucid comparison of the religious aspect of Cancel Culture.
  15. What do you think, Paul? It’s your thread.
  16. Black Americans do not have a homogenous opinion about anything. Including monuments.
  17. No. “Cancel Culture” is a modern euphemism for bigotry. It is an intolerance of those with different political, ideological or religious beliefs. We should love each other and avoid flawed or emotionally leveraged actions which break us up into sub groups and pit us against each other.
  18. Jenson is perfectly polite, Paul. You just have a difficult time with people who take Jesus and the bible seriously.
  19. I believe God progressively reveals himself directly and through Scripture.
  20. The existence of god as a being is implicit in the language. Experience vs. non-experience points to individuality. So do the other terms. PaulS’ pantheism is a variety of theism, as is your panentheism. You guys are playing language games. I can’t get through Steiner. Physical bodies, astral bodies, etheric bodies and whatnot. But it seems related. Maybe not, but it came to mind. Manley P. Hall is in the general domain of this god=man thinking too. Better than Steiner imo and lots of public domain recordings of his lectures on yt and in text. To use the word god at all points to something capable of creating matter. If it cannot create matter god is the wrong concept.
