A Challenge Of Your Ethics

QUESTION: If you had a family member or close friend who got robbed, swindled, raped, or molested and the perpetrator got caught but they were a very important person, would that change your opinion of the offender's guilt? Would you prefer forgiving the offender, restoring them and getting them some help over defending & helping their victim? What if it was your child, mother, sister, father, brother, spouse or other relation they robbed, swindled, raped, or molested? How important does the victim have to be in your eyes in order to get equal or greater consideration than their high profile assailant or V.I.P offender? It doesn't require knowing God or being religious to do what is right, but doing what is right in the face of wrong is always of God. Wrong is wrong and right is right no matter who is doing it, but there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Cuckoo For The Wrong Cocoa Puffs

Certain elements among us in the Black Community have a tendency to "blacken" things up a bit too much. I understand the outrage over "Cecil the Lion" being killed in contrast to the insensitive responses of people over the racially biased mistreatment of Black People. I was upset about that too the same as with the general public's racial bias against someone like Michael Vick for dog abuse in contrast to someone like Ben Roethlisberger who was shielded from being convicted of rape; not to mention the many others guilty of habitual domestic abuse that don't make the newsreels and avoid being demonized nationally like Ray Rice was.
