I remember when calling a black person "black" meant a fight. I do remember when blacks debated the term "negro" verses "Negro" and or colored. Afro-American was considered too radical and African American was just damn foolish. I earned a master's degree in African American Studies in 1977 and I was labeled a fool by blacks as well as whites.
When I was in high school the word we used for homosexual was "sissy". Only very effeminate boys were considered sissies and the football players that screwed them down in the woods near E.E.Smith were not considered "gay". The football player that screwed the chorus teacher just so he could drive his Cadillac was not considered "gay".
Maybe it will happen in my life time. More and more women (perhaps men) like me will speak up, speak out. Do remember I had to accept my truth. That was the hardest part of this whole journey, accepting.
"Know ye the truth, the truth will set you free."
It has nothing to do with color, with gender, age, or status. It is GOD.
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation, neither shadow of turning, of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be kind of firstfurits of his creatures." James 1: 17
GOD blesses who (HE) blesses! Stop looking for your Messiah to be a particular color, a particular gender or age.
So, Liberty University and Regent University and so called Evangelists tell you how to vote. Has that man done anything but double talk? Is that blond pompous buffoon the best the Republicans can offer? Do you hate people of color that much?
What is with this double standard? The man is Bush League! TWO CORINTHIANS ! If President Obama had mangled the Scripture like that he would have been ridiculed, impeached from office for stupidity.
If you are to be like a first fruit for GOD, you must do better. You must be honest, righteous, loving. Why is your heart so hard? Why do you begrudge people trying to escape poverty, a war torn country, persecution?
Will jealous haters ever admit to their own wrong doing? Must they cast blame? It is easier to blame a President of color because racists want to believe the worse?
While I was certainly hated and vilified all of my life for my failure to completely kiss my "mother's" ass all the time, for having gifts she did not think I deserved, I know she hated everyone else also. Martha mistreated everyone! She may have given you some bullshit apology before she died but she never meant it.
Get that hate out of your heart.
"Come ye out from among them."
Praise the LORD!
