Face book rant again: Is the Bible cool.

    I question my belief every day because of ideas from intelligent men like Dr. John Henrick Clarke, Alain LeRoy Locke, and Langston Hughes. However, the word of God from a Christian perspective will always remain with me. Like many of us, we went to church on Sunday, at least once. I know for certain in this life we come to situations where we must act, I call it the pinch, when multiple solutions exist but pressure makes you take the fastest method to escape a situation. For example, millions of young males are accepting plea bargains instead of a trial when it comes to a legal action. Many young men end up getting probation and remain in and out of jail for an extended period of time due to probation or parole violation, parables from the Bible do work to guide our path in this life. In the moment of now there is no history or future, and change is inevitable. We only have struggle and choices toward the light or the dark like the seed in growing in the earth, roots burrow into the dark earth, while leaves and flowers of a plant reach for the light of the sun. Personally, I am stuck on Christ, I've been a Christian as long as I've known how to spell my name. However, I think there for I am, God is in me so therefore I am in God, you are in God so we all our in God, therefore God is our community on earth. I refuse to have blind faith, so I question authority and practice my beliefs. Spiritual experiences are a subjective point of view, but we share similar beliefs and ideas which generates an objective view of an idea. These ideas are stories to guide to guide our actions in the now. As I have practiced the way for decades, I find the Bible help in decision making when it comes to moral issues. Anyway, just thinking.

Showing feelings in on Face Book

High as fuck! I am so over conservatives and liberals. Just two wings of the same old bird "White savagery." One is a police officer, the other is a social worker. They come into low income neighborhood to control the population of the poor instead of providing the means for self determination. I have noticed many upward mobile African Americans tend to flea the urban corridor and attempt to establish communities in economically corresponding neighborhoods. I have noticed in Fresno, Ca, that the African American community has been dispersed over the entire county. Being dispersed over a large area diminishes the ability to control the seat of an elected official. The elected official, usually European American, but there is some tokenism, function is to provide security for the accumulation of wealth. This accumulation of wealth is based on class and race. Here is a CRT scenario: The elected official is representing the economic goals of a community. The majority of that community is European American. The first person the elected official must appease is the majority and providing jobs. Hiring the police to control low income communities provide a nice living for a large majority of European Americans. Hiring social workers to control the behavior of low income citizens provide a nice living for many European Americans. Thus, I wonder what was the function of poor whites during the times of slavery. Were they serfs? I have Hispanic American friends that find it interesting that African Americans are in their traditional red line Hispanic districts. Transmission terminated.
