    "I will never say that progress is being made.
    If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress.
    If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that's below, that the blow made. And they haven't even begun to pull the knife out, much less pull, heal the wound...
    They won't even admit the knife is there."

    One thing that can help is that we, as Christians, should stop watching CNN, FOX, MSNBC, OAN, NEWSMAX, and anything else that instigate division.

      I'm not a fan of corporate media or letting billionaires tell me how to think. The 24 hour news cycle forces them to create news when there isn't enough to actually report on. It's a terrible business model for actually reporting the truth. We have capitalism to thank for that.

    • @averageuser4367
      @averageuser4367 Місяць тому

      That being said, comparing CNN and MSNBC with FOX, OAN, and NEWSMAX is a false equivalence. Nobody on CNN or MSNBC had to use "No reasonable person should believe our commentary is true" as a legal defense.
      None of these are perfect by any means, but the right leaning networks rely on a number of tricks that are specifically designed to mislead their viewers. The other networks certainly make mistakes, but at least lying isn't their entire business model.

      I specifically replied to you. But youre trying to create the illusion of an incentive structure without realizing its still related to personal ethics. And in the case of corporate media entities, the reporter is still beholden to an executive and an owner. Capitalism isnt the problem.

    I hear a lot of the “anesthetizing security of stained glass windows” in this.
    Not your best work, HP.
    Seeking peace without recognizing why there was conflict will not result in a lasting peace. Treating that conflict as something in the past is a major mistake - far too many things still happening as we speak.

      Read “A Call for Unity” (1963) - it was what King responded to and rejected when he wrote the words about stained glass windows.
      Compare that rhetoric to King’s response and to these five points.

      1. Implies that the problems of racism are historical, not current.
      2. I’m fine with this one.
      3. “On all sides.” The assumption that people complaining about the troubles they experience just aren’t listening to those oppressing them is… not great. There is something to be said for forgiveness for those that “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do” and listening to those that have learned as a way to better reach those still yet to learn.
      4. “On all sides.” Sacrificial love is what many of those trod under the bootheel of America have done - Black soldiers serving in the Great War an easy example where they served faithfully and well and their sacrifices were rarely if ever honored.
      5. I’m OK with it. Echoes of the problems in 3 and 4 but the rest doesn’t jump out.
      Structurally, the title explicitly harkens back to the 1963 statement. Calls for unity from those in a position of comfort are easily seen as calls for submission and acceptance from those that suffer.

      Short version is:
      1. Implies that it’s a historical problem rather than a current one.
      2. (I agree with.)
      3/4. Both imply that this is an equal problem with equal blame. It’s not, even the slightest review of history would make this clear.
      5. I’m OK with it. Making it about healing as the victory rather than our side winning is a good sentiment, not sure how the prayer framing helps.
