@blazingthru , see this is where I get in trouble sis
. For me your fruit needs to line up with the word of God or I am not thinking about what you said. Miss me wit dat
. Too many politicians and regular folks 'say' they are Christian but their behavior says otherwise... Christianity is one thing no one has to prove its validity. All one has to do in our culture is say they are one and suddenly all of the foolishness they embody represents God to the fullest
. Then it's further complicated because in a true Christian walk as you know, you are developing from day to day and little by little. So, you really might be a Christian (for example a new one- but none of us have arrived 100%
) who still has some incorrect ideas about what it means to be Christ like and as a result go out and do things that are not in line with the will of God
.
It is an insult to my intelligence for politicians to be fake in an effort to get my vote. For me you must do more than produce a bottle of hot sauce, sing a Negro spiritual, use AA voices or images in your advertising, use a hip hop track for background sounds, or talk using psuedo-ebonics at your rallies to gain my attention. That's no different than how some retailers show all of those AAs in commercials but only during certain awards shows or on certain channels. These same companies rarely show AAs like that during regular programming.
Too many former slaves are dead right now, too many AAs were sprayed with hoses, hung, raped, families forcibly broken up, denied educations, and discriminated against for no vaild reason for me to do nothing to honor their struggles. They played a major role in the building of this country. I wave my flag proudly for them not the lies from the other side! It is not up for debate as to whether there was massive amounts of double talk going on regarding the way this country came into being because the hypocrisy was/is astounding
!!! In my opinion ratchery does not pay homage to any of the deceased. You cannot make me believe those folks died with the hopes that entertainers could be on a platform partially nude singing about garbage, so that we could be twerk experts, so that reality shows can cast us in the most unflattering terms to be laughed at like freaks at a freak show, so that almost all of the popular shows on TV involve so called successful AA women being the jump off of some white man, so that we could overwhelmingly be single parents (this time by choice) who if the rules of the system changed overnight would be clueless on how to take care of our responsibilities
. Let me stop...*pats blackness card* don't wanna be BC'ed (Bill Cosbyed)
At any rate, be it a Bush (plz no more Bushes
), the Clinton of your choice
, Sanders, a bi-racial candidate
, a 100% black Afro-American one, a woman, or Trump,
no one can say they are Christian and I go running behind them casting my vote all willy nilly...
If Christians were doing what they are called to do to meet the needs of people, then a whole lotta this stuff ^^^ would not even exist. But we don't sooo that creates an unhealthy dependency on power hungry, money hungry immoral Democrats, Republicans, and Independents at all levels of government across the country. They know the way to stay relevant is to stay needed by someone somewhere. Soon it will be Hispanic ppl who are primarily courted
. Let's see how much lurve they shower on AAs then...
