Ok, so I actually took time to read this thread from page 1 and read up to about 5 and lost interests. Seems like morekaos started this thread to just have some entertainment purposes only and somehow it got into another political thread GOP vs. Dems. The exact reason why I don't like to follow these threads since they're all just arguing each other with un-absolute bases. I like to spend time on what's absolute and stick to that. Sorry guys, but both Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians (is that how you spell?), or whatever are all far from being absolutely right. But you can keep voting for what you think is "less worse" if you know what I mean.
I personally don't see hatred was the original intention here. But it sparked out of contents within the contents within the contents. But that's what political junkies do anyways..
So is it normal to talk about black faces, or talk about other races not in a positive way?
Also, read why he started this thread. Keyword: shallow
Is that what morekaos did though? Well, I can't fully know what's in his mind since only God knows someone's heart.
But as far as how "I" saw it, he wasn't really talking about blackface in a negative way, but showing how people get political over things that even their own side of the party do the same jokes while making such huge deals when the other party does it. How people get political and hypocritical for both GOP and Dems. I think that was the original intention of this thread. (which is also deeply political in a way BTW)
Now to answer your question, is it OK to talk about other races in a negative way? No, it's not OK. To borrow from the biblical example, most church leaders were very racist in the beginning. Peter makes a pretty remarkable racist comment, saying unlawful to associate with a non-Jew, over the Italian Cohort, Cornelius in Acts 10. God though kept saying (even from the OT) that everyone, no matter what the races they are, to be treated well since all are God's creations. Peter learned that lesson here. Regardless, it took quite a bit of time for even Christian leaders at the time to get out of their racism to love other nations as God's children. So being racist or even making negative jokes on other races is not really what God would approve, but we being humans, will keep failing and failing. Though if you're a real Christian, you will have a longing heart to be not failing but be right as God is, over and over again.
Back to morekaos' intention. I don't know if he was being shallow or not. But I can see he was making fun of Democrats for sure. You could be right. Maybe he was being fake and made it sound like a shallow thing while deeply saying bad things to others. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe he's clean. I don't know. But racism? No, that's wrong for sure.
