If they get to the point of loving (or at least tolerating) those who don’t believe as they do, that might dampen the pleasure they feel in Heaven when they view the torments of those selfsame unbelievers in Hell. ---

I’m confused. Is America great or not? The slogan is to make it great “again,” which means it’s not currently great. Or is it that it can be great with improvements? 'Cause if it’s that, then it’s OK for the black population to seek improvements. (And of course, leaving out the part where the government, at every level, has specifically targeted black people to be purposefully fucked over. That’s not great.) ---
