Well it is my view that education, reasoning and spirituality are supposed to improve conduct. For many so-called Christians, it is enough to state that they believe in the bible and quote passage and verse, without changing their conduct. They feel wars, lies and slander are fair game, as Jesus will save them because they believe. "I have a short temper" is acceptable because you believe in Jesus. You can be foul mouthed and claim it is valid because you feel others do it to you, and it's ok for you, because you are not perfect and believe in Jesus. Well that type of 'Jesus belief' that reproduces hypocrites with poor conduct is OUR worst enemy.
It is also typical for many whites and near whites to assume that when they are in a black gathering that Blacks will automatically find them 'pretty' and worthy of dating. That is what happens when whites want to engage blacks in a Black setting without attempting to address their complicity in the anti-Black system. Blacks who are informing themselves also have to examine their role in this.
There is no reason to casually trust anyone, black, white or any shade in-between, but I do not fear anyone. History is on my side here. Trust is something sacred and deserves much consideration, and should be dispensed incrementally by all sides when evaluating each other. So of course I do not trust you.
