Topic: Racism and imperialism

+Anonymous A — 5 months ago #67,953

Something I was thinking about… I’m saying that like I just had this thought recently. I didn’t. I’ve been thinking this for years now. The thought is, the world might like black people more if blacks started colonizing non-black nations.

Sounds crazy, but think about it. The United States firebombed Japan, put Japanese people in concentration camps, and nuked Japan twice. Now the Japanese love white people. If blacks want to be respected, maybe we should start killing people of other races.

"The greatest political weapon is the weapon of terror. Men may hate us, but we do not ask for their love, only for their fear. Cruelty commands respect."

Call me crazy, but Africa has a lot of uranium. South Africa has nuclear power plants which means they already have the necessary nuclear enrichment infrastructure. My idea, is if we enrich uranium to > 90% U235, and we make a small gun-type nuclear weapon (big enough to destroy a large part of London but not quite big enough to destroy the entire city), and we smuggle it into the United Kingdom on a boat, and we detonate that nuclear bomb near London, then maybe white people will start liking us more.

Cruelty commands servile fear, virtue and sacrifice earn respect. This is why discipline is different from cruelty, because discipline is an act of love. Cruelty inflicts trauma which hinders development. Stockholm syndrome has nothing to do with love or respect but is a state of trauma.

Tbh some people will never love you no matter what you do. Some people just decide they don’t like you for no reason, and if they have to choose between dying a horrible painful death and changing their mind, they won’t change their mind. That’s just what they are, and it is what it is. Really it’s their fault imo.

Really, I’m joking though.

In actuality I don’t really desire to be respected in the first place. Like hypothetically if someone called me a nigger and said I’m a monkey or whatever, and they end up in a life or death situation where I could save their life and be the hero and then maybe they’d respect me, I wouldn’t sacrifice anything for them or feel guilty about it, I’d just move on to something more important.

Because the thing is, if someone doesn’t like me for no reason, if I do something for them, they might change their mind about me, but if I let them die, they won’t have a mind. So it’s safer to just let them die.

It's easier to treat others as you wish to be treated. If they are obdurate and persistently cruel then avoid them. Otherwise you risk becoming like them.

It depends. I think forgiveness is a great thing, but sometimes you have to just get on with life. If we forget to forgive anybody in this life, there’s always purgatory. I don’t feel like I have time to make friends out of enemies who are enemies for no reason really. I never hurt people who did nothing wrong.

Forgiveness means freedom for the one who gives it.

Also BTW the original post was intended to sound unreasonable on purpose. I wouldn’t actually do that. I was making fun of the absurdity that people have a preference for people who treat them worse.

Of course, but it presents a good opportunity for enlightened discussion.

Indifference is opposed to justice. This is why the parable of the Good Samaritan is so important. It is ultimately the "estimation of God" that matters, and receiving this forgiveness makes it possible for us to give it.

Justice on God's terms means giving to others what is due, and mercy triumphs over judgement. This is the perspective I speak from. As for those who cling to worldly power, He says “You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God." (Lk. 16:15)

Why would He be? Jesus says "I will not reject anyone who comes to me". The context of the quote is that the Pharisees rejected Him. So does anyone who puts anything above Him.

I don't understand what you mean. When He teaches the disciples how to pray, He stresses the importance of forgiveness by saying if we don't forgive neither will we find forgiveness. That's what I meant by forgiveness setting us free.

> a threat to his power
Haha, God isn't threatened, He wants to heal us. The unforgivable sin is non- repentance on our part since He can't save us against our will. The sin against the Spirit is putting our desires above His desire to save us.

God is love, first. It was by the Holy Spirit that the Christ was conceived and by the power of the same Spirit, Who worked through the Prophets, He was raised from the dead. While the Son took the form of a slave in mortal flesh and suffered for our sake, the Risen One now frees us from death by dwelling in us until He raises us to be like Him. But giving God what is broken in us now is the only way He can mend us now.
