I'm responding only to what's written on that display.
Not interested in devolving into a discussion of thugs or out of wedlock pregnancy or other stuff being brought up here..
Just what's on the display, which lists beliefs and behaviors of White Protestants, which might be different from the beliefs and behaviors of other cultures and races.
why does it seem that everything lately is designed to separate us?
plenty of black families have those exact same virtues....
since when is the only black culture....some backward criminal ghetto culture
Separate us mentally, specifically nonwhite vs white, but not at all physically. Sounds like how you set up a fight or revolution . Notice they're not even directly attacking the good ideas as much as the race/ethnicity the ideas originated from or are associated with.
I'm not picking and choosing from scripture, calgirl. I'm reading the Bible and not working really hard to ignore what is being said because it doesn't agree with what I want it to say.
And this is not the place to go off on the religious tangent I realize I started, but the "talent" symbolizes the gifts from God. Although the "talent" was a unit of money, Jesus didn't literally mean the people I gave money to invested their money and made more money. Those who used their gifts from God for the greater good were given more gifts.
Not money. Blessings. Skills.
Seriously? You bring it up and then won't discuss it? Yes, I realize the story is allegorical; that is why it is called a parable. But some people in Rio Linda may not know that a talent was an actual unit of currency.
You ARE picking and choosing because if you are going to use Scripture you have to use all of it, which you won't do.
Your examples in this and in other posts are silly.
Chinese medicine doesn't prevent something like smallpox or polio. It was white Western men who figured out penicillin and vaccinations. Oh but sure, medicine is Western and just a choice.
Building wealth and working hard is necessary because it is not anyone else's responsibility to take care of you: not your neighbor, not your extended family, and definitely not the government. I know you think we should all be sitting around singing ""Kumbya" and holding hands or something like that. Do that all you want to, but again, don't expect one thin dime from me.
Should not be any museums for anyone. Take it all away. Everyone go back to their own native lands, including the Native Americans supposedly from Russia.

I shouldn't have brought it up, this isn't the forum for discussions on Christianity.
Maybe if you'd like to further continue this topic, start a thread in the religion and spirituality form about the Protestant Work ethic, and maybe I'll join you?

So they should take their cultural beliefs and behaviors some place else. People shouldn't stay or come here if the culture is unsuited for them.

I say everyone go back but the American Indians, Anglos and Blacks. We'll partition an Anglo, multicultural and a black independent jurisdiction zone for anyone who wants to stay. Only the Anglo zone will end up staying a democracy .

I don't care who ends up a democracy. That's your world and you can keep it. What I want is total separation. That way, everyone ends up doing what they want among their own kind, and their own kind only.
