Close To Home: Skinheads Plan To Kill Obama

Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.
In all, the two men whom officials described as neo-Nazi skinheads planned to kill 88 people - 14 by beheading, according to documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
The spree, which initially targeted an unidentified predominantly African-American school, was to end with the two men driving toward Obama, "shooting at him from the windows," the documents show.
"Both individuals stated they would dress in all-white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

Some questions:
-If you had to guess is the stereotypical black culture what these men really hate or is it the person himself?
-What would bring a person to hate someone so much due to the color of their skin?
-Is it possible to separate color from culture?

Wow, they don't love God or have the love of God within them. They don't love people of color. They are in the world and are of the world and yet do not like all of the world. I don't think it is the person themselves that they don't like. It is more the ideology of whites being perfect. You see some of this thinking in Mormonism. The white skin people are pure and delightsome and the black or dark skin people are cursed and therefore evil.

-What would bring a person to hate someone so much due to the color of their skin?

the answer would seem to be very obvious. The love of God is not in them! They know not God! Although, there are people who are not Christians who still like all people based on the fact they consider themselves to be good people!

-Is it possible to separate color from culture?

Is it possible? Through Christ ALL things are possible. Will it happen? I don't think so. The world won't allow it. While the world says we must "accept" all people, the world is still guilty of promoting one group over another group whether it be the color of their skin or their religious beliefs.

Thanks for the post! Very well done with good questions!
