Unfortunately, many people do not see injustice until it lands at their door step. This is sad, because as Christians we are called to live a compassionate life, speaking out for the voiceless, housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, etc. We don’t get to cherry-pick what social or moral injustice we speak out on. There are no asterisks in the bible. And let me add this, from the founding of this country many institutions, policies, and laws have made a “statement” against people of color. The declaration of independence states “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. This was written in 1776, during the height of slavery. It is not impossible that this great country of ours, could say one thing and do another. Just because it does not affect you, does not make it a lie, a falsehood or a race card. Many “Christians” are going to miss out on heaven because of their hardened hearts and their allegiance to political ideology and power over true selfless Christianity.LikeLiked by 3 people

The issue with people refusing to identify terrorists as such does have a long history though: simply remember the refusal to identify the IRA bombers as terrorists simply because so many people on our East Coast supported them.
Oh yeah — the terrorists down south that Reagan supported: managed to have his people get money to them, cleared the way so they could move drugs into the United States to fund their dirty work — all because they were terrorists (wrongly named “freedom fighters” for the PR) on our side
