They better pay the money before they leave!

I went out to bat HARD for John Davidson after he shouted the N word at black actors and producers at the BAFTAs; against many in my own community. Davidson apologised, and his use of a racist slur was explained by his disability and I extended grace and forgiveness.
So here is the uncomfortable question. Kanye West has bipolar disorder. He has said his antisemitic outbursts are linked to it. He has apologised, more than once. Yet the reaction is entirely different.
Let me be clear. West’s antisemitism is vile. It is not edgy, it is not excusable, and it causes real harm. In the same way, a white person using the N word does. Both should be condemned without hesitation.
But condemnation is not the same as consistency. If we are prepared to treat disability as a mitigating factor in one case, we cannot simply ignore it in another because the individual is more controversial or the offence feels less convenient to forgive. Either disability meaningfully shapes responsibility, or it does not. Either apologies carry weight, or they do not.
If we only extend grace selectively, it stops being a principle and starts looking like preference.

Any church that spends money on elaborate drone shows instead of feeding the poor is no church of Christ
Chad Prather@WatchChad
WOW! A drone show put on by a church in Manvel, Texas depicts our Savior Jesus on the cross. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow, HE IS RISEN.

@LindaPears87262 When did we become? The UK has been a Christian country for more than a millennium. You can’t judge the last 69 years of atheism / secularism and say that’s the history of Christianity in the UK. Also, going to church for major events is not being a Christian.

@MaxkwTet @bornagainsteph I couldn’t have said this better. Welcome to the club. Many people in the Bible had a relationship with God that had peaks and troughs. Psalms is the best example of that. David was all over the place lol The most important thing is not giving up. God loves you ❤️

@bornagainsteph I’ve been there before. Our journey with God and our growth is never linear. Remember in humility to try to surround yourself with godly people you can trust. It’s difficult sometimes. But the Body is there to help.

This is fantastic.
Croydon decided to implement Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, blocking cars from accessing various roads and fining people £160 per infraction.
They ran the scheme for two years.
Now the High Court has ruled them unlawful as they were implemented for profit and not to reduce traffic at all.
Millions of pounds must be returned to people who were fined. If you were fined during that time you have to request a refund.

@tomisin_ms This is a lovely example of how racism is rooted in total ignorance and a lack of knowledge. He didn’t know half the facts the uncle was telling him. The guy got schooled.

@omoelerinjare Eeeww, what a disaster.
Go blame your parents for producing an an1mal like you. Imagine being half human and half yariba 🚮

@Igbonation007 @omoelerinjare No tradition lasts forever 😊. Otherwise you wouldn’t be responding in English right now 😊

@omoelerinjare If your father is Yoruba, you are Yoruba. You are from your father’s side. You are not half Igbo, you are not Igbo. This is African tradition
