Getting Up

This Black History Month: I think it's important; to look at how the injustices of Racism have affected not only black people, but with regard to the Caucasian / European race here in America.

I first want to point out; that our current predicament has not been limited to a political party.

Having had both Democrats & Republicans in office: what did not change; was

the position we find ourselves standing in today as a Nation.

None of this stuff just happened.

The invisible hands of injustice are now the hands that threaten to strangle us all.

Yes; all. Contrary to popular belief, those who tout the "White Privilege" banter- dare I say: are

the one's who are strangling the most. Unseen like carbon monoxide.

You see; it is you, whom they've used -

to perpetuate their plans of hatred and destruction. Even to the detriment of your own families & livelihoods; without knowing.

While carrying around a false hate; a hate used for reasoning- Used to JUSTIFY- some of the most heinous crimes against another human being.

Against humanity; Against your family & Against yourself.

How so? You ask?

You see; the very people who allow you to justify these crimes are the very one's committing them against YOU.

The very one's who stole your houses & 401ks, raised your taxes. The same one's who allow poisons & toxins in the food you eat, the air you breath. The vaccinations you give your children.

These are the same people. The same one's who put Trump in office; Are the same ones -

Using you against yourself with hate.

The Lord says destroying yourselves with the works of your own hands & heaping destruction upon your own head.

Were standing In the aftermath As a people.

To hold a man down, is to spend your own life on your knees.

In order to move forward, you must first get up yourself.

We all must.

Getting up in forgiveness

We must first forgive ourselves.

Forgive ourselves for what we didn't know; and hold ourselves to a higher standard now that we Do.

To be free: YOU must take off the chains of injustice; hatred, bigotry, and sexism.

To Choose today; to walk upright into the future, in solidarity and respect for the LORD, his people and his word.
