Let’s just admit it, jlocke is right there with Steve King—-they have now both said essentially the same thing and neither one understands why it is a completely unacceptable thing to say! (Much less to think, in the first place.) But jlocke and Steve King both claim to be Christians…
Well, NotJohnLocke gets the idiotic comment of the day award. I’d say more about him, but the mods would probably shut me down.
Apparently, the fact that attitudes can facilitate wrong doing in folks means little to him, unless of course, he is following some conservative screed. You know, like “All those people getting gummint subsidies is lazy and worthless.” Yeah, I feel that away about certain industry “leaders” whose companies get subsidies. And gosh, there’s all those lazy, worthless farmers depending upon government subsidies to prosper.
Racist attitudes and, even more so, racist actions, facilitate racial violence. Many southern lynchings were well attended events. See the pictures in this link:
Racist attitudes let whites get away with murder for a hundred years after the civil war. You didn’t have to carry a rope or a bucket of tar or whatever to help make murder accepted. It wasn’t local attitudes that made a difference, but the exposure on national television and federal prosecutions that changed matters. Exposing the casual racist as well as the Klan Klown is necessary to keep the vermin under control.
And, as NotJohnLocke’s posts have shown, he is also a misogynist. Women are still fighting for the right to be respected as persons instead of bodies to be exploited. It’s the attitudes of people like NotJohnLocke that have helped keep women underpaid, undervalued and over-harassed.
Hate does provoke the weak-minded into murder. Charlottesville, VA is a prime example.
NJL is proud of his 19th Century values and would love to inflict them on all of us.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
@jlocke clearly has no idea what sin actually is, behavior doesn’t “become” a sin, because divine standards for human behavior aren’t subject to ongoing revision based on godly whim. Sin is malum in se, not malum prohibitum.
But if he’s asking when it was officially declared a really bad sin, a human decision, no later than 1979:
“Racism is a sin; a sin that divides the human family, blots out the image of God among specific members of that family, and violates the fundamental human dignity of those called to be children of the same Father. Racism is the sin that says some human beings are inherently superior and others essentially inferior because of races. It is the sin that makes racial characteristics the determining factor for the exercise of human rights. It mocks the words of Jesus: ‘Treat others the way you would have them treat you.’ Indeed, racism is more than a disregard for the words of Jesus; it is a denial of the truth of the dignity of each human being revealed by the mystery of the Incarnation.”

King has a long history of racist remarks. He said that white men have contributed more to overall civilization than any other group.
He had to actually ask there isn’t anything wrong with talking about “white supremacy” before the Repubs denounced him. Too little, too late Repubs.

Apparently, Jlocke, refuses to acknowledge how often racism became murder.

I have read previous posts from jlock. Him and Steve King are soul mates. They probably get their white robes cleaned at the same dry cleaners.

^ : Now there’s a rejoinder worthy of a debate class failure…
I’m thinking of no longer referring to him as NotJohnLocke, but trimming JLocke to Joke.

He is guilty of being a loudmouth. Republicons are supposed to only speak about their racism quietly amongst themselves

Well, Joke, I don’t see any need to reply to things that exist only in your mind. It is you who do not respond to specifics.

What you should be asking yourself, Ramirez, is why are you in the same political camp as a guy like Steve King?
