Re: Race versus culture

I'm still waiting for you to explain why the poor white boys are doing worst of all in our education system? Maybe because they feel cucked and depressed by their oppressive government? Who knows? Even einstein got D's. Also, whites make up 16% of the world's population, blacks make up 15%. If ther...

Re: Sacrificial Systems Rooted in Crucifixion as Means to Wisdom and Understanding

Sacrifice is the common denominator found within all religions as the bond between man and God that enables any form of wisdom or understanding to be obtained. ACIM explicitly rejects that position and insists instead that the separation never happened and therefore there was no sacrifice to repay ...

Obviously there is much to be gained for coloreds from having White friends: status, safety, prosperity, intelligence, culture and so on. The bigger question is why would a White person what a colored person as their friend? Seems ...
