Are you going to go down on your knees and beg for your life, old one?" Abbot Mortimer stared calmly into Cluny's savage eye. "I will never bend my knee on my own behalf. However, if I thought I could save the life of one of my friends I would gladly fall down on both knees. But I know you, Cluny, better than you know yourself. There is not a scrap of pity or mercy in your heart, only a burning desire for vengeance. Therefore, I will not kneel to one who is consumed by evil. --Redwall
there are too many creeds that teach people there is good in everybody. everyone can be saved, everyone can be redeemed.
stories like this reinforce that this is not a universal truth. some people, no matter how much compassion they receive, no matter how many chances they get, no matter how much divine intervention comes their way, will always be evil.
There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth among the judged at the end of it all. They'll say 'Why didn't I get another chance?' or 'You just don't understand my pain!' or 'This universe is set up wrong because I was judged unfairly!'
Evil is not remotely relegated to third worlders or browns. it is the duty of all good people on this earth to be vigilant against evil. it comes in all forms, and it gnaws at the minds of weak people. all good people must stamp out evil before it takes root in good people, as well as stamp out evil people lest they spread evil.
Fair, but that said, the difference is that it is in the nature of White Christians to do good. All others, despite what they might say, trend toward evil in all cases.
I've got some family like that. They're not evil, they're just stupid and consistently make stupid decisions and refuse to change anything about their behavior. Naturally one feels bad, but the only realistic way to solve their problem is to micromanage their lives. And even then it would be an uphill battle - not to mention completely unfair to their surrogate parent / guardian.
To quote IASIP, "once your brain is a piece of shit, it's always a piece of shit". Most people are shit and it's a waste of time and effort to try to micromanage them in Western society.
Stories like this remind me of the woman who had her face ripped off by someone's pet chimpanzee. A wild animal will always be a wild animal, even if you put a diaper on it and give it a name.

At some point the distinction ceases to be a difference. If the result is the same, is there really any difference? If a dumb teenager goes drunk driving and kills a family of four, is it really that much different than a grown adult murdering a family on purpose? Sure, you could argue the intentions are different, that the teen wasn't trying to get anyone killed. However, the result in both cases are the perpetrators are a menace to society.
If the stupid people were all clustered in one location away from all the smart people, and the two groups weren't forced to interact with one another, it would be fine. However, the real world isn't like that, and the smart people constantly have to suffer the consequences of stupid people making stupid decisions. Personally, I consider that to be a form of torture.

The devil won’t care.
80iq turd world garbage will only ever interpret empathy as weakness. Never forget this.
if only it were so simple.

the first place to start is one's own heart.
Mudsharking is the greatest evil

just off the top of my head, there is:
like all people on this earth, white Christians are also prone to evil.
Do the words "per capita" mean anything to you?
Your comment is not false, but it is irrelevant.
More whataboutism. just because evil might be less prevalent in a population doesn't mean evil doesn't exist in it.
Non-Whites have zero empathy. Remember that.
Ask Hillary about those "super predators" she said need to be "brought to heel."

Or let nature take its course and have them purge themselves out of the gene pool.
