The Black experience has been one of chattel slavery, rebellion against slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, sabotage of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation, civil rights, unbelievable courage, boldness and sacrifice, less pay in many instances even when more qualified and the audacity for many to hurl personal insults to President Obama because he is black while "leaders" stayed silent. There is nothing wrong with disagreement but why the venom?
The big lie from the justification of slavery is still in effect that "Blacks are lazy and depend on government."
I have heard even some Christian pastors imply all the time that blacks vote people into office to get free stuff (i.e. welfare, Medicaid etc). Are we to ignore the rich and powerful who donate to (i.e. buy/bribe) politicians to get things done for PROFIT. You get the truth when you follow the money in our system.
What are the facts since Blacks landed in America? Let's look at the work experience:
1619 to 1865 No Pay - 246 years
1865 to 1964 Low Pay - 99 years
1964 to 2016 Unequal Pay - 52 years
1865 to 1964 Low Pay - 99 years
1964 to 2016 Unequal Pay - 52 years
Imagine almost 400 YEARS (397 actually) of free labor and pay inequality for black people in America and yet many say affirmative action is reverse discrimination and if blacks would just work hard they will get ahead. The majority of them work hard but the system is rigged and needs fixing. The fixes of the past was progress but we are a far way from the true America.This racism is demonic and comes from the pit of hell.
I call on all Christians to root out this demon of racism from their hearts, their homes, their families, their churches and their communities. Stop being silent- it's an insult to Jesus Christ.
I call on government leaders at all levels to execute real justice. The book of Romans (chapter 13) says that it is God who allowed you your office because you are His ministers to do good. Stop caving into to the money changers. You must stand with boldness and integrity so the wicked will fear you.
America, God will execute justice unexpectedly and harshly unless we change and those He allowed to do justice will do their jobs. There is work to be done. We will either sink or rise together.
Romans 13
“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.” Romans 13:3-6 NKJV
