Hey guys I do believe we're talking about the USA. Not the Grand Final in sunny Sydney.

There isn't any mention of Aussie footy anywhere in the article, I think. Maybe I should have read between the lines.
Well the facts of Trump and his attacks on one side; and black deaths in jail and on the street, on the other, are pretty strong and simple. That's the issue. Why did Trump open this can of worms? He doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with his repeal of Obamacare and other issues he spoke of. Or maybe that Great Wall is still a-building.

such a shame that many are brought up to think that because of the colour of their skin they are better than others. In the case of these footballers its obvious they have great character deficiencies. Maybe they had no proper male role models. Just a thought.

The protest seems to be building, even though the US is sharply divided on the issue by race, colour and age. See The Guardian's comments on racial protest.

It's not skin color that makes a man superior to his contemporaries, rather the content of his character!

Moreover, there is not a black way nor a white way! Just a right way!

At the end of the day, crime and associated violence, seems more prevalent in impoverished societies? And regardless of race, color or creed!

And something decent caring Christians, be they black, white or brindle, can actually do something about!

But only if they want to! And then only by listening to and being guided by, their better angels and the parable of the, [non judgmental,] good samaritan/gentile?

As opposed to greed driven/control freak hypocrites, merely giving lip service to, cherry picked, Christian/holy book philosophy!?

Skin colour, race, culture and all sorts of human differences come into play in our lives, and it is naive to deny that, just as it is naive to deny to that most people prefer to be around people just like themselves. That's why multiculturalism will never work.

Differences are largely cultural and customary, rather than anything real and of substance.

One only need see little kids playing together, without all the, yet to set, inculcated brainwashing impacting on attitudes.

At the end of the day, we can control just one thing! And that is the thoughts we care to entertain or habour in our minds, and through them all our attitudes!

Think, there is great power there!
