Description

Prompt: Based on this case study, is it credible to claim that “one can see the

justice of God working in the world” (197) if this is a world where black persons can be

killed without consequences for their killers? Stated differently, is it possible for God

and humans “to create the world we crave for our daughters and sons” (227)? If yes,

how? If no, why?

    social atrocities such as the case of racism, where we are categorized as minorities at the center
    of the supremacy of the majority who believe they are more superior to us and are more entitled
    to some rights than us, we tend to question if our God is just. And if for sure God is just, we
    expect that He should promptly deal with those inflicting pain on our lives and causing us all
