Stupidity Of Forgiveness - Charleston Shooting by Afromalaika(m): 7:08pm On Jun 20, 2015 |
Religion, Weaknesses & Self consolation- A case study of the Charleston Shooting. I watched with a heavy heart yesterday when the kin of those killed in the Charleston Church come out one after the other to forgive the killer; Dylan Roof. This pattern of forgiveness I observe is common to the Black Americans when their oxen are gored. The spate and the speed in which the murderer was forgiven leaves more to be desired. Is this forgiveness borne out of cowardice/weaknesses, religion or self consolation? The answer to this question seems rhetoric. I took exemption to this type of forgiveness expecially when the culprit has not sought for such or showed remorse for his actions or in actions. I sense there is more to this forgiveness as pronounced on National TV. or perhaps, my reservation on the Christian teachings of forgiveness. You may wish to set the lines straight but I strongly opine that this is a pure case of cowardice and inferiority complex of the Black people in the United States. |

raayah:If this is a religious injunction, I fear the Black Americans are taken it too far. Can't they just show a strong nerve for once? |

Things are going on behind the scene, if it was a muslim that did the shooting, they would be saying they need justice. |

I think the Church should be separated from the state. This is a purely criminal case, forgiveness in this wise should be personal. |
