Depoliticizing Race
Blog Repost
It’s truly a shame… and demoralizing to the states of our union that fought a costly war to end slavery to see violence and vandalism being so manifested in our day and time under the guise of race. Never-the-less, there it is on every news network seemingly everywhere endlessly to give the appearance that race relations are a major problem. They keep saying, "We need to have a discussion on race." Why?! We've been talking about race since before the Civil War! Race is not the problem. The violence taking place is for the most part due to the lack of an accurate understanding and appreciation of history. Or perhaps the downright rejection of it. This is what leads to the lack of respect shown in racial dislike. It’s this lack of respect that always weakens any civil society. In these 241 years of union that was based on all men being created equal by nature’s Creator, one would think race shouldn’t be an issue by now. But it is. In the world of men… hate will always exist. Where and when allowed. Racial hatred is just one of the many tentacles of hate available. History shows us that utmost disrespect manifested as hate towards people due to race (or for any issue) is prerequisite to tragedy. Sparked by political views and fanned by the MSM in the world of men today it can be a powerful way to move people’s minds. One way or another.
What You Feed Your Mind Is What You Become
It can be exciting to some. Especially the young. The excitement to be part of what seems like a “righteous” cause can be very drawing to many. And very intoxicating to some who drink of it. History teaches the righteousness of any cause is measured on the purity of the facts believed. Many people through history have been deceived to move an elite class’s agenda that was based on extreme disrespect towards races and/or groups of people, I.e. - Germany under Nazism. There is no new thing under the sun. The racial unrest occurring now is no coincidence. We’ve seen race relations unrest accelerating in the last 8 years. This unrest is another Obama legacy. Selected coverage given by the fake news of the events steers the minds of many to a desired destination. A serpent whispering in the ear rationalizing the justification of violence is the MSM feeding the minds of the listeners to cause an emotional reaction for the purpose of moving individuals to a collective “good”. Violently if needed. Which many … as we are seeing… are falling for. You'd never know it by getting your news from the MSM but more whites are shot by police officers than any race and are at the top of the "race ratings" every year. According to the Washington Post's 2016 police shootings database 465 whites were killed, 233 blacks and 160 Hispanics that year. It's portrayed on the news as it is to seize ratings sure but the end goal is to generate and sustain a division among the American citizens. The more chaos, the more they have to cover and!... the more the government gets involved. And takes control. As any student of the history of the progressive movement knows, chaotic violence, whether it's based in race, class, religion, ethnicity or even gender... is a needed ingredient for a socialist overthrow.
This whole racial divide is so primitive in the human psyche. It’s founded on fear. Fear of those not similar to another in something as simple as appearance. A sense of security exists for most when among one’s own race than when not. Is that racist? No. It’s natural. People allow that uneasiness when among those of a different race to cause them to shun those different. Instead of honestly addressing it, taking out the foundation for the uneasiness and overcoming this primitive fear, many take the easy route and rationalize it. An indifference towards a race or races (or anybody for that matter) is fertile ground for the seeds of hate. It is not only being expressed in racial issues but at the time of this publication is in all of the whole political and media realms. As shown in the hatred expressed towards our POTUS, towards conservatives and this “sudden” hatred for statues and monuments. The monument for Columbus in Baltimore, Maryland was if nothing else a historical piece. Damaged by some young, self-righteous, attention seeking punk. Unanimous as he is only known as "Ty". The coward. This is no different than the Taliban destroying works of antiquity and/or book burnings. There are proper channels to go through to remove something from the public domain. To take vandalism into one’s hands is immature, indifferent and intolerant. The vandals of monuments need to be pursued, prosecuted and punished for their acts of destruction. America is a civil society. This is a land of law!
The Destruction Of Monuments Is At Minimal
The DNC Attempting To Erase Their Own History
It's just gotten ridiculous! Have ya heard about ESPN's decision to pull a game caller off of a football game assignment because... as ESPN explains, "the name he shares with the Confederate general made him a poor choice for calling a University of Virginia football game in Charlottesville, where a recent protest over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee left a woman dead and became part of the national dialogue." Never mind he's Asian. In Tennessee the Memphis City Council has decided to exhume and relocate the remains of Lt. General Nathan Bedford of the Confederate Army and founder of the KKK. Against the wishes of the family. Here in east Tennessee a popular tourist dinner show (Dolly's Dixie Stampede) has come under attack for their Civil War theme.
For years I’ve been telling as many folks as I can it would benefit their lives to study the founding of the United States and/or the history of the socialist movement. The ignorance of these two approaches to government in the minds of the American citizenry has led us to where we are today. A rise in the number of mostly young people running on emotion instead of following the written standard of the law. We are witnessing political unrest to the point people are being killed and injured and property destroyed. This is by design. Thanks mostly to the influence of federal money in public education and of the progressives in the leadership of the teacher’s union. But then unions are founded in socialism. Socialism is a European philosophy. (Today it is also commonly referred to as “progressivism”, the “left” and “liberal.” Democrats before WWII such as FDR openly respected and admired what Mussolini was doing in Italy before hostilities broke out. Mussolini as you recall was hung by his own people.) The socialist movement is influenced by many philosophers throughout history including Plato (428/427-348/347 BC), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) and Karl Marx (1818-1883) to name a few. Some of their works are linked at the bottom of this post. In a nutshell, the success of socialism is dependent on the number of people that are willing to surrender their individual liberty for the promise of security and become a majority. Then, the promise of utopia is defined by and administered by the political elite. The United States of America was founded to insure individual liberty. For all! Not just the elite. Something the world of men had previously never known to this extent. A constitutional republic. Socialism may be fine for Europe but America was NOT founded to be a democracy! And yet most people… including politicians (that call themselves “leaders”), think we are. A democracy is majority rule. It is socialism lite. These two approaches to government... socialism and individual liberty (capitalism) stand opposed to each other. In all categories. All those involved in all the mischief concerning protests and monument desecration are all influenced by the socialist philosophy. Socialism promotes unrest against the standard until they gain the majority, then use intimidation and violence to squelch any resistance. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution promotes a civil society. Unalienable individual rights guaranteed to all citizens and recognizing creation’s Creator being overall.
Speakin’ a which… what does “creation’s Creator’s” Word say concerning His people in all this? Pretty simple as this disciple sees it. That being… we ain’t got a dog in this fight. These socialist situations are designed to move people to emotional outrage for nothing more than to manifest hate. Which brings forth chaos. And seemingly something everyone wants to talk about. Any Christian believer that is manifesting spiritual love has nothing to prove towards race. Excuse my Marine vernacular but all this political unrest concerning race is world shit. That’s what it is. World shit. It’s not so appetizing when you see it like that is it? This is a fine example for the usage of one of the spiritual rights God’s children have, being citizens of the kingdom of heaven. That being sanctification. We are set apart from the things of the world of men that is contrary to the Truth we’ve been given. Yes we live in this world but we are not of it anymore. This world is not our home. As American citizens, God's household needs to be alert and watchful always but especially in times such as this. I can see where this can be or is being used as a precursor to an attack on the First Amendment. The progressive movement needs free speech nullified. (Hence the push for "political correctness.") Which is only taking so long because of the Second Amendment. We have spiritual rights and we have political rights. They all need to be exercised when necessary where necessary! But we are always ambassadors for Christ, remember? Do ambassadors engage in the things of the nation they’re in when unrest breaks out among the population when it doesn't concern them? No. Neither do spiritual ambassadors engage in worldly situations that promote worldly consequences and shame. But we still do our job.
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not counting people's sins against them (but canceling them).
And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation
(that is, restoration to favor with God) So we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God were making His appeal through us; we [as Christ's representatives] plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God
2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (AMP)
God’s people… all of them… the new believers, the disciples, the elders and the gift ministries are all encouraged by the Word of creation’s Creator to manifest, that is to make plain… the love given with the new birth. While we are still in this world... while we are still in the flesh. When this spiritual love is brought forth into manifestation to the world of men through these physical bodies as instructed by God’s Word it is a beautiful thing! This is what makes us burn bright spiritually as God’s stars in the world. There’s no condition. No limit. No issue. (Including race.) We just love! God’s people that operate this love properly have nothing to prove concerning these issues. We are above them, "seated in the heavenlies." Our protection from them lies behind the walls of Zion. Separated from them. If any issue touches us to where our political rights are threatened or violated we demand justice according to the law. If we touch it (the world shit) we become unclean (to use OT vernacular) and our thinking is not acceptable to God. Nazis (a form of socialism) that want to assemble publicly and do so legally and peaceably have the Constitutional right to do so. Just as (if you’re an American in America) you do. Just as you do, any American citizen has the right to speak their mind. And just like you... don't have however... a right to be heard. Or freedom from criticism or consequence from what you voice. Maybe it’s too simple for some but the best defense against hate is don’t listen to it! Even if the MSM forces it on you. Quit watching it! All this political racial stuff is designed to agitate you to the point of being a participant in a mob. This is neither God’s will or the goal of a civil society.
I John 4:4-13 (KJV)
(*= added by me for your clarification)
*Ye (* born again believers) are *of (*= out of, implying motion) God, little children, and *have overcome (*= are victorious over) them: because *greater (*= of magnitude) is *he (*= Christ) that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that *knoweth (*= ginosko; perceive; denoting a personal and true relation between the person knowing and the object known) God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby *we (*= God's people) *know (*= ginosko) the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and *knoweth (*= ginosko) God. He that loveth not *knoweth (*= ginosko) not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to Be the *propitiation (*= payment) for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth is us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby *know (*= ginosko) we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his *Spirit (*= lower case; referring to the gift). (Love= Agape; unconditional spiritual love)
