Looking at the politics, sometimes, I wonder if voting is more racist or hatred of poverty. I am not denying there are racist factions, but racism is part of the continued divide and conquer mission. When our community unified, change overcame the nation (MLK). Now, we complain and raise our children to be feared and hated in masses that even make us want to fear and hurt us/them since the gangster rap of the 90s. If you dont see it, why is your child in the suburbs, or just visit an urban school and volunteer for a day. When we stop looking at other people to solve our problems, then we can form communities that keep money in it, keep business running, and elect people from it to run it. Stop allowing the self-hate, jealousy, DI-vision, and other non-sense to keep us ruled by those who we complain about. How many times do we go to work tired from hanging out all night, going back to school for self-gain, working 2 and 3 jobs multiple times a week versus writing congress, empowering each other, spending quality time with our children to instill values that profit them in them, helping our neighbors to build better communities, attending meetings that affect our neighborhoods, etc? Some of us are so caught in a paper chase and rat race that we cant see what is in our face that challenge us from having what we say we should have. At then end of the day, we can have excuses or results. When the television talks the mess, do you speak back to it using your mouth power. The media has made a loud voice, even when it speaks lies and biased statistics. Many things the Black community created that prospered has been sold, lost, or stolen; because we do not have a network of trustworthy people of character who stand firm on being a force that can withstand tests. How do you think other cultures have come to be in power? They do the same things that we do, but media speaks more against us than anything, and we speak the same thing empowering it and weakening what we could have. I am not a racist; because I have no competition. However, I recognize what is occurring and want a better society for all people. If people who look like me dont recognize the obvious and subtle poverty that we create, we shall keep having what they say and saying what we have. I observe the distractions that keep us from having what we say in faith, versus saying what we have in terms of the complaints of employment, racism, crime, mis-Education, no education, poverty that breeds violence, etc. Several times the Bible says, Do not be deceived (James 1). It also states, in Mark 11, The Withered Fig Tree …23Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. 24Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.… Looking at Joel Olsteen sermons, although he is ridiculed for being so positive, he recognizes his mouth power. What are we using our mouths to do? And how many of us who complain are actively fighting the negative statistics in our own lives to be a better family and community member, refraining from creating broken homes, truly helping people to learn to fish versus just giving them something to have for a moment of comfort, subduing our passions to hold a standard of being a better man, looking in the mirror and seeing ourselves as we are known and allowing GODs grace to change us for the better. I charge anyone who has read this far to place a daily alarm in the phone that confesses things for them personally and thanks GOD for His grace to improve this world for His peace to rule and reign in it and every member who is in office. Hebrews 10:23New King James Version (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Again, lets be careful of being devoured for our lack of knowledge, lack of action, and lack of belief in an all powerful GOD to work in every area of all our lives. I thank GOD for breaking the chains that bind us to lack of progress. We bind existence, and we loose life in abundance until it overflows in the lives of others, in Jesus name. https://youtube/watch?v=-pD2zIuiC2g
