ERIC LONG: As an African American man, I often find myself asking where was God during the time my ancestors were Chattle slaves. I find myself asking the same question as I'm often overwhelmed with the injustice in our country. I've never faced death like the guy in the video did, but still I'm asking the same questions. Such a strange thing!
CR: Until right now, I rejected the Stations of the Cross as Roman Catholic Propaganda. However, I realize that we each play a role along that fateful journey up to Calvary. Many are the descendants of Peter crushed by the prophetic Rooster crow. Many are the descendants of the Women of Jerusalem weeping and wailing. Many are the descendants of Simon of Cyrene helping to shoulder that rugged monolithic Crucifix. Suffering is like ripples in water. Suffering demands attention. Ignoring such tragic events affects DNA. Trauma is inherited and exacerbated, if it isn't addressed properly. I think, African trauma was a harsh way of Greater Inclusion into His tortured Body. The Great Resurrection Hope is that He received a New Incorruptible Body,,,
JUB8891: kinda like syria all over again....
PIOTR SAKRAN: I think Allah and America have many things in common.
