So a race is now the same as a country that is being fired upon and leaders of other country's say should be wiped of the face of the map?
OK
The analogy is a lot closer than you feel.
Let's assume the following are indisputable:
- The majority of blacks in America were persecuted from the mid-seventeenth century through the middle of the twentieth century.
- Since the middle of the twentieth century, blacks are still more likely than whites to receive harsher sentences for the same crimes (more likely to serve maximum sentences for drug offenses, more likely to receive the death penalty for rape and murder)
- Since the middle of the twentieth century, blacks charged with crimes are still more likely than whites charged with crimes to be convicted of said crimes.
Thus, there still appears to be a subconscious thought process in America that treats blacks as inferior and more deserving of punishment/harm (harm at the hands of the government is still harm).
Thus, it appears that whites are still treating blacks as inferior, and that process results in more harm for blacks.
Thus, whites are still harming blacks simply for being black.
Let me grant you the following with regard to Israel: Palestinian Muslims are still harming Israeli Jews simply for being Jewish.
Are the Israeli Jews justified in responding against any Palestinian Muslim with violence? Are black Americans justified in responding against any white American with violence?
Is any Israeli Jews justified in responding with violence against any Palestinian Muslim? Is any black American justified in responding against any white American with violence?
Is an individual Israeli Jew justified in responding with violence against any Palestinian Muslim? Is an individual black American justified in responding against any white American with violence?
Is an individual Israeli Jew justified in responding against an individual Palestinian Muslim with violence? Is an individual black American justified in responding against an individual white American with violence?
What is the criteria that identifies an individual as justified to attack? What is the criteria that identifies an individual as liable to attack?
