    I believe you have confused the terms ‘Lost sheep’ and ‘Lost tribes.’ There are indeed lost tribes of Israel who have probably been biologically assimilated into other or all ethnic groups. However, in the Matthew passage in question, Jesus is referring to the people of Israel as ‘lost sheep.’

    Paul, I perceive you have not thought through your political convictions. Consider the following: Without healthy businesses, who will employ the working class? Policies that hurt businesses will ultimately hurt the employees of those businesses. I do not understand how school vouchers hurt black people, because it would give them the opportunity to choose a better school for their children. Affirmative action perpetuates racial stereotypes, so that successful black people are seen as unqualified, regardless of their accomplishments. Republicans and Democrats both want people to succeed, but they have different ideas about what is effective and what is not in reaching that end. Please do not insinuate that Republicans are actively ‘anti-black.’ Except in rare fringe cases, that is not so. And especially do not claim that it is the agenda of a major political party to ‘exterminate’ a race of people. At least conceal your partisanship enough to simply say that you think Republican policy is unhelpful to that race.
