It’s so strange to claim self defense.

You can’t claim fear of a vehicle while standing in front of it. If it was safe enough to block, it wasn’t a lethal threat.

He chose lethal force after creating the danger himself. That’s not self-defense.

If rich people can donate money to build a ballroom then they can donate to feed the hungry.

You’re absolutely right. People who don’t actually learn about their religion and follow blindly are prone to be misled by fear or authority instead of guided by compassion which is ironic, since most religions at their core are supposed to teach empathy, kindness, and understanding.

People have different experiences, and just because you can’t relate doesn’t make them less valid. Religion teaches compassion. Maybe reflect on that to soften your heart. I say this gently as an atheist, because I still value kindness.

I wish more people studied social sciences. The generational wealth gap didn’t appear out of nowhere. Things like slavery, the Three-Fifths Compromise, Jim Crow, redlining, and systemic racism put lots of Black Americans generations behind. Generational trauma carries burdens as well.

When you dehumanize a marginalized group for viewership you really just show the emptiness of your own character.
Absolutely no morals exist.
