Quote:I again, I'm not questioning the merit of his argument, I'm simply trying to understand how he came to his conclusions. He has expressed himself very intelligently in many of his posts, so that factored into my reasoning for asking him these questions. He is also free to feel however he feels. I don't want to change his mind or yours or bchbunnie.


Also, had it been you instead of JJ who started this thread, I would have asked you the same questions. It's not black and white how ppl come to feel how they feel. Their experiences and environment have a lot to do with it. There some things in his posts I agree and there are some that I don't agree with. I'm sure that happens to you on occasion when you read a person's post that is heavily opinionated.

 

That's the problem.  Black white red or yellow pure emotion leads to violence chaos hatred war death etc.  Looking back at the overarching theme of my original post, the criticism that I have with the current regime or iteration of civil rights leadership/community leadership is that we focus far too much on how we FEEL.  Justice is synonymous with truth is it not?  Truth is objective and subject to proof and reason.  So the path to Justice, has to married to truth and reason not divorced from it.
