Racism, Police Violence and ISL


We see so much violence on television it has conditioned ourselves to soften our view of it until it touches us in a personal way.  I personally think we have become a lot more paranoid about the World (foreigners) and therefore racism is raised, we know we all can be racist it is our human nature to exclude or attack which is not like us.  It is not just about black and white people, it also includes race, religion, sex and genetic build.  My own Christian beliefs states “Love your neighbour as yourself”, my Muslim friend said “A person is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity”, both of these statements have one requirement, When you look in the mirror who do you see, the broken or the one God has said you are, if you are an atheist you need to see yourself as the person you need to be in society, come up higher and only then you can love each other or view each other as equal.  I switch to Facebook and more police violence pops up, my heart goes out to the families that have lost and I can understand in a small way how they must feel.  Then the following day the same video comes out again with new footage that shows the same basing or murder by the hand of people in charge, my heart gets harder towards authority, what this is doing is changing my attitude towards people who the government has put in place to serve and protect me, we are now divided.  There was a song buy the brotherhood of man “United we stand Divided we fall” our society is falling into the hands of criminals and ISL by over portraying the actions of a minority of evil doers,  yes bring it out but forgive, don’t repost (remake) the video and know not all in authority are like these people.  Do you love the people in authority or a harder question do you love the people in ISL, you need to separate the sin from the man, some of those ISL people may change their heart attitude and want to bring their families out of the hatred, I am not saying don’t fight, we must listen to our governments, if you don’t like what they are saying vote them out at the next election but obey them.
