I HEARD of the “WHITE MAN’s BURDEN” … “BLACK MAN’s BURDEN” …
JUST WHO-WHAT EXACTLY is “The BURDEN”? …
FIRST OFF, WE HAVE a “SIN”, NOT SKIN PROBLEM …
WE ARE ALL SINNERS … (the ONLY TRUE “EQUALITY” in THIS WORLD)
WE ARE ALL IN NEED of REDEMPTION … NOT “REPARATIONS” …
SOME GRACE and PEACE … ACCEPTANCE and SERENITY …
“AMENDS” … NOT ALIENATION …
The “BETTER ANGELS” of OUR NATURE …
PART of OUR “HUMAN DISEASE” … WE ARE “ALL MIXED UP” –
CONFUSED “SOCIAL” and “ANTI-SOCIAL” NATURES …
“PEOPLE are PEOPLE … SO WHY SHOULD IT BE? … YOU and I GET LONG SO AWFULLY”?
OUR HUMAN “PARADOX” – OUR “HUMANITY” REVEALS OUR “IN-HUMANITY” …
“NATURE” is CONFUSING … HUMAN NATURE EVEN MORE PERPLEXing …
HOBBES: HUMAN HOSTILITY – A STATE of WAR of ALL AGAINST ALL … WAR …
LOCKE: HARMONY – PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE … CAN’t WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?”
HUMANITY is IN NEED of a “VICTIM-ization” VACCINE …
VACCINEs to CURE GUILT and GRIEVANCE EPIDEMICS …
ANGER … RESENTMENTS … HOSTILITY …
IF WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND “The PROBLEM” … WE WILL NEVER COMPREHEND a/the “SOLUTION”
BLACK PEOPLE, FIGHTING “the MAN”, FAILED to LOOK in the MIRROR … (listen to Mike … prophet? … pedophile? … “visionary”? … villain? … empathic or evil?
FIGHT the POWER … oops … IN YOU … ME … EVERYBODY …
NEWS FLASH … POWER CORRUPTS … ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY …
TRY READING a HISTORY BOOK …
TRY READING the BIBLE … The LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING …
HUMAN “INTELLECT” is a “DEAD END” of NIHILISM … NARCISSISM … NON-SENSE
BEWARE [black] “REDNECK” CULTURE … (read some Thomas Sowell)
“REDNECKS” MANIFEST THEMSELVES in MANY WAYS … PLACES … AGES …
I (a white man) MIGHT BE IMPRESSED IF SOMEONE TOLD the CRIPS and-or BLOODS THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER …
JUST SPEND a WEEK END in CHI-RAQ … errr CHICAGO …
BEFORE YOU DEMONIZE (without debate) ME, TAKE a LOOK at the “MAN in the MIRROR” …
YOU DON’T NEED BY “WHITE PRIVILEGE” to OPPRESS or VICTIM-ize YOU … YOU ARE DOING an EXCELLENT JOB of DOING IT YOURSELVES …
MURDER RATES … ABORTION RATES … MARRIAGE-FAMILY STATISTICS … NUMBERS DO NOT LIE …
OVER 9 OUT of 10 BLACKS are MURDERED BY OTHER BLACKS … (not the police)
MORE ABORTIONS than BIRTHS …
LACK of FATHERS and BREAK-DOWN of the FAMILY …
WILLING IGNORANCE … HOOD-WINKED … BAMBOOZLED … FOOLED … AGAIN
IF I DID NOT HAVE MY “DADDY” … REALLY GOD and MY PARENTS … MY LIFE WOULD PROBABLY BE a COMPLETE MESS …
THAT HAS NOTHING to DO WITH SKIN COLOR …
BY MYSELF I ONLY MADE IT A BIG (but not complete) MESS …
I AM a “VICTIM” … OF MYSELF …
LIKE the SONG SAYS … IT’s NOBODY’s FAULT BUT MINE …
WHO (or what) EXACTLY is YOUR “BURDEN”
WHO EXACTLY is [my-YOUR “ENEMY” – #1 – ME … #2 – PEOPLE LIKE ME (family-friends) … #3- EVERYBODY ELSE
FORGET “RED HERRINGS” (distractions) and “RACIAL RACKETS” (organized crime & corruption) …
TODAY’s “RACE BAITERS” HAVE AS MUCH a CHANCE of “CURING” RACISM as a LEECH has CURING LEUKEMIA …
the “PROGRESSIVE PLANTATION” and RACIAL “MINSTREL SHOWS” …
WHO EXACTLY “OPPRESSES” and RE-INFORCES RACIAL STEREO-TYPES …
DYSTOPIA and DECEPTIONS … (rooted in satan)
“PROGRESSIVE” IDOL-atry – The GOD of GOVERNMENT … MARX-ist ALIENATION
MODERN “SACRED COWS” RESPONSIBLE FOR TODAY’s “UPSIDE DOWN” WORLD …
WE NEED to “REPENT” – RETURN to GOD IF WE WANT a WORLD “RIGHT SIDE UP”
(HENCE “SlavA Socrates” – a SUBVERSIVE (God Lover) in an AGE of SUBVERSION (God haters)
RACE BAITERS and “SINful” HUMANITY ALL IGNORE the REAL PROBLEMS … and ROOT CAUSES …
JESSE LEE MIGHT SOUND “DELUSIONAL” BUT DISCERNS SOME “UGLY” (deceptive) TRUTHS …
TODAY’s RACE BAITERS OBSESS ON [superficial] “SYMPTOMS” … IGNORING the [deeper] CAUSE
AGAIN, RED HERRING “DISTRACTIONS” CAMOUFLAGING “RACKETS” (criminal and corrupt)
WE HAVE a “SIN” PROBLEM … NOT a “SKIN” PROBLEM …
WHO EXACTLY is the PROBLEM OR BURDEN? #1 – YOU … #2 – ME … #3 – EVERYBODY ELSE …
The EQUALITY of SIN … the IN-EQUALITY of GUILT
I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC … WE ARE ALL GUILTY …
I THANK GOD FOR MY CATHOLIC “GUILT” … 1000 TIMES BETTER THAN HAVING NO SHAME …
MY PROBLEM – WE ARE NOT CATHOLIC ENOUGH … OUR GUILT is 1000 TIMES WORSE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE …
The “GOOD NEWS” – GOD’s GRACE is 1,000,000 GREATER THAN MY GUILT …
NOT “CHEAP GRACE” WHICH REQUIRES NOTHING … GRACE WHICH CAME AT GREAT COST – JESUS GAVE EVERYTHING …
NOTHING I DESERVE NOR EARN THROUGH MY “WORKS” –
HIS POWER, NOT MINE …
REPENTANCE – TURN TO HIS WAY
I CANNOT SAVE MY SELF … BUT IT IS GOING to REQUIRE MY COOPERATION …
I HAVE to WATER the PLANT, BUT I DO NOT MAKE IT GROW …
FAITH is LIKE PHOTO-SYNTHESIS … GOD (His Spirit) DOES the GROWING (fruit) … NOT ME
THAT was the “STUMBLING BLOCK”
IT IS HIS POWER … WORK … NOT MINE
LIKE GRAVITY and NUCLEAR POWER … FORCES “REAL” WHICH WE DO NOT SEE
NUCLEAR FISSION POWERS a NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER … NOT MY “PADDLING”
NOT MY “HAMSTER WHEEL” POWERing a PADDLE …
WATCHING FRED and BARNEY IN THEIR FLINTSTONE’s CAR is NOT an ACCURATE REPRESENTATION of HOW CARS REALLY WORK …
GOD’s POWER … NOT MY [own] “OAR” … is the POWER SOURCE of SALVATION
JESUS DIED ON the CROSS BECAUSE of ALL of US …
I LEARNED THAT STARING at the CRUCIFIX (and stations of the cross windows) in the CATHOLIC CHURCH in San Jose, CALIFORNIA I ATTENDED as a CHILD …
I AM DUMB, BUT NOT STUPID …
WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? …
I FULLY LEARNED (in detail) ABOUT FAITH, GOD’s GRACE and JESUS RISING RESURRECTED by GOD FROM the GRAVE
LEARNED THAT [in detail] in a PROTESTANT CHURCH …
I AM ONE of the LUCKIEST PEOPLE on EARTH …
GOD GAVE ME #1 – EYES to SEE, EARS to HEAR #2 – GOD-GIFTED “DOMATA” PASTORS (shepherds) WHO WATCH FOR MY SOUL
I LOVE GOD, HIS WORD and MY PASTORS [otherwise, I am “cursed” at “love” … oh well … we are strangers in a strange land … this world is not my home, I am just passing through)
MY “WHITE PRIVILEGE” is FAITH (God) and FAMILY (parents) … NOT MY SKIN COLOR …
SURE AS HELL NOT “CORRECT” POLITICAL IDOL-atry … TOTALITARIAN TOM-FOOLERY … GOD SUBSTITUTES …
SOME “BASIC REALITIES: (ignored by the God-less)
GOD IS GREAT …
I LEARNED THERE IS GOOD and EVIL …
GOD MADE THE WORLD GOOD … BUT SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG …
The FALL and the REALITY of “SIN” …
“FACTS” of LIFE … NOT a “FAIRY TALE” …
HUMAN “PERCEPTIONS” vs DIVINE REALITY …
UTOPIAN “NOWHERE” vs “TRAGIC” REALITY
GOD’s TRUTH is “DECEPTIVE, YET TRUE”
GOD’s REALITY is BEYOND TRAGEDY …
“SIN” is OUR “BURDEN” … WHICH GOD “SOLVED” …
NOT MY RIGHTEOUSNESS (filthy rags) … GOD’s (Christ’s Glory)
WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE and IMAGINE a VAIN THING?
GOD IN DERISION … LAUGHS (Psalm 2)
MANKIND PLANS (social engineering – social justice) … GOD LAUGHS …
GOD HAS HIS PLAN … HE IS IN CONTROL …
The POINT – HOUSTON, WE HAVE a “SIN” PROBLEM …
RACISM is a “SYMPTOM” of a MUCH GREATER PROBLEM …
WE ALL SUFFER FROM the “HUMAN DISEASE” …
WHY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. “WORKED” –
GOD’s COSMIC JUSTICE … NOT MANKIND’s “SOCIAL JUSTICE” …
TWO BASIC REASONS – (not his skin color)
#1 – CHILDREN of GOD (the only real “equality”)
#2 – CHARACTER (internal, not external “reality” – superficial perception vs “deep” reality)
NOT “IDENTITY” (race, class, gender) – INTEGRITY MATTERS
MLK followed “The LORD of HOSTS” … NOT HEGEL …
GOD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING …
The REALITY of GOD … and satan …
GOD’s TRUTH and WISDOM …
THIS WORLD’s VANITY and FOOL-ish-ness … CHILDREN of DARKNESS and DISOBEDIENCE …
VS “the adversary” … father of lies … a murder from the beginning … the [temporary] prince-power of this world …
CHRIST (our advocate) vs satan (“the adversary”)
WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH and BLOOD, BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS … SPIRITUAL WICKED NESS in HIGH PLACES …
I AM a “RACIST” … and a “HATER”
The ENTIRE HUMAN RACE is DESPICABLE and HIGHLY SUSPECT …
LIKE DENIS PRAGER, I LIKE CERTAIN PERSON[s] … HATE-DISTRUST “PEOPLE” …
ANY “GOOD” DOWN HERE is DERIVATIVE of GOD –
I “RESPECT” YOU as ONE of GOD’s CHILDREN … IF I DISRESPECT YOU, I
THERE IS GOOD and EVIL …
NOT JUST IN OTHERS … MY SELF
LIKE TODAY’s “PHARISEES” … the LIBERAL LEAVEN of SELF-RIGHTEOUSness
OBSESSING ON “OTHERS”, OBLIVIOUS to SELF … (fake “VIRTUES” – correct-ness CAMOUFLAGING “VICES” – corruption)
PROGRESSIVE “POSEURS” … (political theater by totalitarian tw#ts)
WHITE WASHED HOUSES FULL of DEAD MEN’s BONES …
DO NOT “STRAIN MY GNATS” and “SWALLOW YOUR CAMELS”
JESUS DIED FOR MY [our] SINS …
AN IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME, YOU are WORSE THAN HITLER …
ASK YOURSELF (my self) …
IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD? …
WHO-WHAT DO YOU SERVE ???
YOU DO THE “MATH”, GENIUS … (try the “process of elimination”)
FAILING to FOLLOW THEIR GREAT TALENT and “POP PROPHET”, MICHAEL JACKSON, AN ALLEGED “BLACK” MAN WHO ACTED MORE LIKE AN OLD, JEWISH WOMAN … a “MINORITY MENSCH” …
AS A WHITE MAN, I APPRECIATED MIKE’s TALENT … BUT …
WE ARE ALL “BAD” … NONE is GOOD BUT GOD …
NOW, BACK to “The MAN in the MIRROR” …
MIKE was a JEHOVAH’s WITNESSS … RADICAL MUSLIM … KING … “PROPHET” of POP …
HUMAN … BUT “VISIONary” … (larger than life)
AS a WHITE MAN, MICHAEL was COOL … BUT JERMAINE WAS COOL-er … PLAYING BASS on “I WANT YOU BACK” … MY BIAS … BETTER THAN the “MOONWALK” …
DANCE “DIVINITIES” … MICHAEL, JERMAINE and JANET
AS a WHITE MAN, I LOVE DANCING … I CAN WATCH FOR HOURS …
THEIR “SOUL MUSIC” BRINGING PEACE to SOULS …
OOPS … BACK to the REAL SUBJECT …
“SHOOTING OURSELVES in the FOOT” …
