One of the things I learned as a child from my careÂgivers was to âspeak the truth and speak it ever cost it what it will he who hides the wrong he did does the wrong thing stillâ>
Now Iâm a man I still hear the same refrain today , mostÂly from rich white men who refer to themÂselves as Christian Conservatives.
I have always conÂsidÂered myself a Christian by faith even before I gave my life to the lord, because I was raised in a Christian home. It was that funÂdaÂmenÂtal belief in God which preÂventÂed me from stealÂing, killing, and doing othÂer things some find socialÂly unacceptable.
As I delibÂerÂatÂed for myself the merÂits of givÂing my life to Christ I sought to find ways to be Christ-like . I wantÂed to do the things Christ told us to do. I thought about Matthew 26:11 a woman broke an Alabaster box of preÂcious ointÂment, she then used the ointÂment to wash Jesusâ feet then used her hair to dry them.
His disÂciÂples were not pleased but Jesus knowÂing their thoughts said unto them âŚ10âWhy do you bothÂer the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. 11âFor you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12âFor when she poured this perÂfume on My body, she did it to preÂpare Me for burial.âŚ
I will not talk about my interÂpreÂtaÂtion of Conservatism sufÂfice to say that Merriamâ-Websterâ.com. charÂacÂterÂizes it this way.
CONSERVATISM<>A politÂiÂcal phiÂlosÂoÂphy based on traÂdiÂtion and social staÂbilÂiÂty, stressÂing estabÂlished instiÂtuÂtions, and preÂferÂring gradÂual develÂopÂment to abrupt change; specifÂiÂcalÂly : such a phiÂlosÂoÂphy callÂing for lowÂer taxÂes, limÂitÂed govÂernÂment regÂuÂlaÂtion of busiÂness and investÂing, a strong nationÂal defense, and indiÂvidÂual finanÂcial responÂsiÂbilÂiÂty for perÂsonÂal needs (as retireÂment income or health-care coverage).
On the basis of what Christ wants us to do I conÂsidÂer myself a Christian despite my filthy-rags disÂpoÂsiÂtionn at times. I also see cerÂtain eleÂments of my perÂsonÂal belief sysÂtem in Merriam Websterâs eloÂquent charÂacÂterÂiÂzaÂtion of Conservatism.
I am not parÂticÂuÂlarÂly sold on the conÂcept of indiÂvidÂual finanÂcial responÂsiÂbilÂiÂty for perÂsonÂal needs (as retireÂment income or health-care coverage.
I do believe Government has a role to play in helpÂing those who are unable to help themÂselves, not those who refuse to help themselves.
Despite my best efforts I havenât found much comÂmonÂalÂiÂty with the politÂiÂcal rightâs protesÂtaÂtions of either Christianity or Conservatism and my ideas of either.
The Bible says by their fruits you shall know them.Matthew 7:20 âŚ19âEvery tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.20âSo then, you will know them by their fruits. 21âNot everyÂone who says to Me, âLord, Lord,â will enter the kingÂdom of heavÂen, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heavÂen will enter.âŚ
I donât want to judge who fit the bill of a chrisÂtÂian and who doesÂnât but when a philoÂsophÂiÂcal perÂspecÂtive espousÂes Christian prinÂciÂples yet does everyÂthing antiÂthetÂiÂcal to the faith I feel duty bound to at least say to peoÂple unconÂvinced or conÂfused at the disÂconÂnect between words and deeds that they are charÂlaÂtans and impostors.
âŚThe Political right espousÂes the right to life, I am not opposed, it is nevÂer manâs right to take life. Yet their defense of life stops after a woman gives birth.
They steadÂfastÂly believe a woman absoluteÂly have no right to terÂmiÂnate a pregÂnanÂcy even pregÂnanÂcies which emanatÂed from rapes or incesÂtuÂous assaults.
Now Like I said preÂviÂousÂly I refuse to play God itâs above my pay-grade to decide who live or die like some white peoÂple believe when they deny taxÂpayÂers funds to help care for chilÂdren after birth.
They oppose food-stamps and othÂer benÂeÂfits which would give babies the most basic sustenance.
They oppose every othÂer forms of Governmental assisÂtance which would susÂtain life even to those who canÂnot help themselves.
Where is the chrisÂtÂian empaÂthy and love
Yet they want masÂsive buildup of milÂiÂtary arseÂnal at the expense of social proÂgrams which would aid the least able to take care of themselves.
Ironically they have no probÂlem givÂing lucraÂtive tax-breaks to mega corÂpoÂraÂtions which absoluteÂly does not need the money.
And this is just on the charÂiÂty end of the spectrum.
In order to elicÂit symÂpaÂthy from them one has to be white Anglo-Saxon regardÂless of the travÂesÂty being visÂitÂed on the vicÂtim. Where is their empaÂthy for their felÂlow man? Where is their fideliÂty and obeÂdiÂence to the teachÂings of Jesus Christ?
In order to make Jesus palatÂable to themÂselves they had to change perÂcepÂtions of what Jesus looked like. So Jesus Christ could not conÂtinÂue to be a dark-skinned Jewish man he had to be recreÂatÂed to look like a long haired white male> Without equivÂoÂcaÂtion that levÂel of inseÂcuÂriÂty and hatred has got to be genetic.
⌠One of the amazÂing things to me is their disÂgustÂing inabilÂiÂty to speak the truth . This is not a quesÂtion of Left and Right , itâs a issue of White.
How do you straight faced call yourÂself a Christian then lie through your teeth ?
If God was vengeÂful where would these white men be?
Dr. John Henrik Clarke . born January 1, 1915 died July 16, 1998 Writer âHistorian Professor, Hunter College in New York and at Cornell University.
When the earÂly Europeans first met Africans, at the crossÂroads of hisÂtoÂry, it was a respectÂful meetÂing and the Africans were not slaves. Their nations were old before Europe was born. In this periÂod of hisÂtoÂry, what was to be latÂer known as âAfricaâ was an unknown place to the peoÂple who would someÂday be called, âEuropeans.â Only the peoÂple of some of the Mediterranean Islands and a few states of what would become the Greek and Roman areas knew of parts of North Africa, and that was a land of mysÂtery. After the rise and decline of Greek civÂiÂlizaÂtion and the Roman destrucÂtion of the city of Carthage, they made the conÂquered terÂriÂtoÂries into a province which they called Africa, a word derived from âafriâ and the name of a group of peoÂple about whom litÂtle is known. At first the word applied only to the Roman colonies in North Africa. There was a time when all dark-skinned peoÂple were called Ethiopians, for the Greeks referred to Africa.
Why Africana History? by Dr. John Henrik Clarke.

The unmitÂiÂgatÂed gall to copy an entire peoÂpleâs hisÂtoÂry then do everyÂthing in their powÂer to remove every trace of the greatÂness and grace of our ancesÂtors is dumbfounding.
Black Lives matÂter Activists are now someÂhow anti-law enforceÂment? Why would any Black perÂson be for a Law Enforcement modÂel which kills their sons and daughÂters aunts and uncles and gets away with it.
What unvarÂnished arrogance?
Students donât have the right to rise up on University Campuses and speak out against racial oppresÂsion in their Schools, their comÂmuÂniÂties, their counÂtry, because some white guy decides who should speak and who shouldnât?
On what Planet is this susÂtainÂable and withÂout consequence?
When stuÂdents at Dartmouth protest in solÂiÂdarÂiÂty with stuÂdents of Mizzou and Yale white peoÂple get into chatt rooms and use all kinds of conÂdeÂscendÂing lanÂguage , clearÂly what they want is for black peoÂple to shut up and endure anothÂer 400 hunÂdred years of tyranny.
Instead of relatÂing to the obscene pogrom which have been visÂitÂed on African peoÂple in this counÂtry and around the world and still conÂtinÂue today as some whites have done the majorÂiÂty of them wants silence.
Who the hell do they thing they are?
They engiÂneer wars across the Globe . They engiÂneer overÂthrow of govÂernÂments with whom they disÂagree then label freeÂdom fightÂers terrorists.
How susÂtainÂable will this conÂtinÂue to be? How many more years will the black and brown peoÂple of the Globe lay dorÂmant even with the ravÂages of genoÂcide inflictÂed on them through artiÂfiÂcial disÂeases âwars and othÂer methÂods of exterÂmiÂnaÂtion? Do they think we are too stuÂpid to underÂstand whats going on ?
There is no Christian in their brand of Conservatism letâs be clear about that. In the same way there was no Christianity in their hearts when they interÂactÂed with the Africans and Native Indians then merÂciÂlessÂly masÂsaÂcred them, there is no Christianity in their hearts today.
They are the sons and daughÂters of darkÂness and the soonÂer we speak to these truths the better.
When Black peoÂple rise up and say Black lives matÂter what the hell is their probÂlem ? All these peoÂple are sayÂing is âour lives matÂter tooâ ! Their lives have always mattered.
We do not need them to valÂiÂdate this moveÂment, and we cerÂtainÂly do not need the valÂiÂdaÂtion and supÂport of those whom Professor Clarke so approÂpriÂateÂly refer to as âwhite butt kissersâ.
The fact that they are up in arms is that itâs causÂing them some disÂquiÂet, some disÂcomÂfort, on that basis alone Black Lives Matter must not only conÂtinÂue it must intensify.
For hunÂdreds of years they have masÂsaÂcred and raped with impuniÂty, they have intimÂiÂdatÂed and wreaked all kinds of genoÂcide and terÂror and Blacks peoÂple stood silentÂly by and allowed them to get away with it.
It must end. Why would they not be indigÂnant now they have always had things their way ? âYes masÂsa suhâ !!
