Black and white racists are idiots?
What is black racism and why does it happen?
Whatever type of racism you are asking about
IM2
it happens where there is UNFORGIVENESS of past issues
and these get projected forward.
Yes, you can blame it on "white racism" but where
people forgive this, the cycle can be broken instead of retribution.
FORGIVENESS = ending and healing the wounds of racism
so problems can be corrected without the hostility attached
UNFORGIVENESS = continuing the projecting of blame
back and forth which you trace back to white racism.
No matter what the source, unforgiveness enables racism to continue.
No Emily it doesn't. Number 1, the racism is not in the past. Number 2, it has been forgiven. Number 3, Jesus forgives but demands us every day to stop sinning. Whites who practice racism need to stop doing that. You sit on your butt telling me to forgive when you should be telling these racists to stop committing the sin.
Start doing that.
IM2
1. Yes and Yes, the racism from the past
is what projects and repeats in the present and future.
2. When it is forgiven, it stops.
If it is still in the present, that means it's
still projecting.
3. Agreed, and the first step is to forgive
so we stop repeating the same sins
As for
A. "Whites who practice racism need to stop doing that."
Agree
B. "You sit on your butt telling me to forgive when you should be telling these racists to stop committing the sin."
When I talk with "these racists" I tell them the same thing.
When I talk with you I tell you the same thing.
I ask people on ALL SIDES to stop the racist projection.
If projection is still happening, that means the issues
INTERNALLY that are not fully forgiven and resolved
are being PROJECTED EXTERNALLY which is the
mechanism manifesting as racism - it's taking the
internalized issues and projecting them on a collective
group especially targeting individuals by race
who are seen as REPRESENTING THAT GROUP.
Now
IM2 I'm relieved to hear that you believe it is already forgiven.
I agree and pray for that forgiveness to be expanded upon so that
ALL THINGS CAN BE CORRECTED in that open environment.
I asked the Pastor Sunday and his team to pray for you.
His message he gave was that:
* NOBODY can take your joy that is given by God
* God's blessings are too great, that nothing and nobody can demean them
* Everything you need is already in the house
Let us continue praying and working in agreement
that all these wrongs/sins be forgiven so they can all be corrected.
Projection as racism is one sign that there are still
unforgiven unresolved issues that haven't been handed over
to God but are still circulated back and forth blamed on others.
