“When I Talk About Black People, I Don’t Expect White People To Understand”


Like the writer Nile Girl when I write about race relations, racism, bigotry and bias I’m not writing to or for a white audience. I’m not trying to curry favor with white people nor am I looking for validation or agreement. That’s slave mentality thinking.

For my nearly 60 years on this earth I’ve heard more than enough of white opinions on how I should be or think and I reject every last one.  I believe in Self-Determination. I define myself and my culture.

Mostly my writing including this blog is for me. If you like it. Fine. If you don’t that’s fine also. If you agree or disagree. Fine.  I’m not about to argue or debate with white folks.  If you feel insulted well so have I, my parents, grandparents and great grandparents going back to when we were forcibly brought to these evil wicked shores against our will.

This is who I am and this is who I will always be. No apologies.

Enjoy the article.

Black Jesus

Is the Church in League with the devil?


 

 

The church is also accountable for much of the hatred America is flooded with today. Many of the so-called big time Christian Televangelists, TV preachers and well known ministers have and continue to support #45 despite the fact that they knew who he was from jump street. It makes you wonder what Bible are they reading and how did they get this unsettling view of Christianity which glorifies the status quo, division, strife and racism.
 
These are false prophets who must be called out for they are leading the flock astray making one group of people think that they are better than another group of people just because they have a pale complexion. That was the same justification that sanction the slaughter of millions of Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow, etc…
 
Pretenders to the Throne have made Jesus who was a brown skinned Sephardic Jewish Rabbi into something that Jesus would have never supported. Just like Jesus called out and confronted those who made the Temple (House of God) into a den of thieves if he was here now Jesus would stand up to the white supremacists, KKK & Neo-nazis. Jesus referred to I believe it was Herod as that sly fox. Jesus did not mince words. If you were a hypocrite religious or political he told you so. That’s my Jesus. The Activist Jesus.
 
By the way no matter what color or race you are stop calling yourself a Christian if you hate, despise, loathe or speak ill of people of other faiths and belief systems. If you look down on Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Native Americans, Sikhs, or anyone different or not like you please keep your mouth shut. You are a blot, a stain on Christianity. Go back to the Bible and find out what true Salvation means.

R.I.P. Heather Heyer and all those Black, white, & Jewish who died for equality

Notice that the Orange Nazi has not given or even offered condolences or sympathies to the family of Heather Heyer. Instead #45 hails, shakes hands and is in league with the evil neo-nazis, KKK and other white supremacists groups. So he is really saying that this brave and courageous young woman caused her own death. He is actually blaming her when she was fighting for peace & unity. He is not a man. He is a demon straight from the pits of hell. But one day satan will come for his immortal soul and all his money will be in vain.

Know your History.  Remember. For History always repeats itself.

On June 21, 1964, three young civil rights workers—a 21-year-old black Mississippian, James Chaney, and two white New Yorkers, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24—were murdered near Philadelphia, in Nashoba County, Mississippi.

In 1963, a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls.

With its large African-American congregation, the 16th Street Baptist Church served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., who once called Birmingham a “symbol of hardcore resistance to integration.” Alabama’s governor, George Wallace, made preserving racial segregation one of the central goals of his administration, and Birmingham had one of the most violent and lawless chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.

The church bombing was the third in Birmingham in 11 days after a federal order came down to integrate Alabama’s school system. Fifteen sticks of dynamite were planted in the church basement, underneath what turned out to be the girls’ restroom. The bomb detonated at 10:19 a.m., killing Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins–all 14 years old–and 11-year-old Denise McNair. Immediately after the blast, church members wandered dazed and bloodied, covered with white powder and broken stained glass, before starting to dig in the rubble to search for survivors. More than 20 other members of the congregation were injured in the blast.

When thousands of angry black protesters assembled at the crime scene, Wallace sent hundreds of police and state troopers to the area to break up the crowd. Two young black men were killed that night, one by police and another by racist thugs. Meanwhile, public outrage over the bombing continued to grow, drawing international attention to Birmingham. At a funeral for three of the girls (one’s family preferred a separate, private service), King addressed more than 8,000 mourners.

Bible Belt?  What Bible are they reading?

The same can be said for many of the big name white TV Evangelists, TV preachers, Mega-churches etc..  Many of which are located in the red state Bible Belt. If you’re American you know exactly of whom I speak. Do you hear any of these false prophets standing up to Agent Orange, the KKK or the Neo-nazis?  No. So just like the white supremacists who took off their pointy hoods you may as well say these Bible Belt leaders have done and are doing the same. Their silence speaks volumes. They have perverted the Gospel  and the name of Jesus.

Woe to them in the day of judgment.

Matthew 23:13-39

New King James Version (NKJV)

13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.[a]

15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it. 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies[b] the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it. 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells[c] in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.[d] 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem

37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

Stephen and I have our own special sibling language. Kind of a modified sign language that Stephen uses to communicate with me when he has trouble finding words. 

Stephen is verbal and can give short responses. 

We know each other so well that speech is not necessary. 


Stephen can wash, dress and bathe himself. He also uses the bathroom on his own. My brother Stephen is a Blessing in every way.

Cypress Hills Cemetery is where my parents, grandparents and other family members are buried.

My sympathies, prayers and heart go out to all Asian-Americans affected by this terrible desecration.
