I suppose a holy man is not attached to his possessions and depends wholly on the kindness of strangers.

So then, if you’re a good Christian, and you catch a burglar trying to break into your house, you should say to him,”Hold on a moment, I’ll open the front door for you”.

God needs lots of loving. People say awful things about Him all the time.

Very interesting.
Not certain where I fall – in some circumstances I get energized by debate.
But, awkward social interactions (not necessarily debating) caused in large part to my presence (regardless of what exactly I did to precipitate that awkwardness) drain me more than anything.

However, I great enjoy solitude. Time away from others really helps me to focus.

Good post.

Blacks who are already thugs create rap and in so doing nudge other blacks who listen to rap still more toward violence.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call blacks people without a conscience — merely with less conscience — but for understanding race differences, we may want to look into that direction.

Half-devils, half-children is probably the best description of blacks I’ve ever heard.

It’s upsetting to see how much rap/hip hop perpetuates this thug mentality within the youth of the black community.

The political media’s main entertainment approach is to foment “outrage,” pretend or genuine, silly or reasonable, among various groups about whatever. Suppose somehow someone on TV mentions an argument in my book calling for the abolition of the Fed.

Then another guest says: “Did you know that Chernikov is a RACIST? He once wrote a blog post that was critical of blacks!”

After that, who would care what I have to say about economics?

I understand. I didn’t want to mention the topic in my post because I didn’t want it to see like I was “calling you out” or trying to throw you under the bus – since you had already taken it down. And again, you have the right to say whatever you’d like.
I don’t know exactly how I feel on the topic myself. But I do get very frustrated at times with what appears to be a lack of effort/accountability/responsibility (whatever you want to call it) from (what seems to be) many in that community.

The Catholic in me tells me to be as loving, patient, and understanding as possible. Lofty goals for someone like me who really, REALLY struggles to put that into practice.

Hey… I was thinking that maybe I needed to pick my battles. Race is such an explosive issue that people will attack you personally, call you morally depraved, and so on just for expressing a (reasonable, in my view) opinion. Alternatively, they’ll try to recruit you into KKK. I probably don’t need the aggravation.
