I am repulsed by
the people who have worked tirelessly for more than 400 years to convince black
people that our skin color is our most prized asset and defining
characteristic.
This conceit
originally led to our physical enslavement. It has now led to our mental
enslavement.
The stewards of the
zeitgeist –i.e. the spirit, mood, characteristics of a particular time in
history – have persuaded black people to
pursue blackness above all else, above faith, intelligence and freedom.
I object.
Passionately.
This blinding,
irrational pursuit is leading to the destruction of black people and the
destabilization of our country.
I object because I
love black people, I love America and I love God.
I
do not love the stewards of the zeitgeist, and they do not love me or any other
black person who would dare object to their racist manipulation of black
consciousness and black culture.
The root of my
disdain is biblical. Sixty years ago, the hallmark of black culture was
religious faith. It carried us through slavery, Jim Crow segregation, lynching
and was the power source of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Civil Rights Movement.
In
1965, political sociologist Daniel Patrick Moynihan authored what would come to
be known as the Moynihan Report, a study of The Negro Family: The Case for
National Action. Written to influence President Lyndon Johnson’s policies
regarding America’s black-white racial dilemma, the 16,000-word Moynihan Report
spelled out the devastating impact of 350 years of racial oppression on the
black family. It predicted that the growing matriarchy defining black culture
would undermine the progress of black people in a Western society built for
patriarchal families.
Today, the Moynihan
Report reads like a biblical prophecy. Fifty-five years ago, Moynihan argued
black people’s survival in America was a modern miracle.
“A
lesser people might simply have died out, as indeed others have,” Moynihan
wrote.
We didn’t die out
because of our religious faith, the world’s primary source of hope. Faith in a
higher power made our spirit unbreakable.
The Moynihan Report
was written to make the case that America should take extraordinary measures to
invest in the black nuclear family. It was written as a rebuttal of President
Johnson’s Great Society initiative. The Johnson administration disavowed the
Moynihan Report and its author. The mainstream media spent the next several
years framing Moynihan as a racist.
Over the last 55
years, the stewards of American culture have worked to disconnect black people
from our religious faith, our salvation. Black pride is our new religion. Our
skin color and the degenerate behaviors white liberals have deemed as
authentically black have become the hallmarks of black culture. There’s nothing
blacker than repeatedly saying “nigga” in public spaces or having a baby
mama/daddy or dealing drugs to survive poverty. The highest form of blackness
is being a victim of racism, especially if it involves a white cop.
According
to the stewards of the zeitgeist, George Floyd is 100 times blacker than Dr.
Ben Carson.
Black entertainers
are instructed to and rewarded for evangelizing for blackness and celebrating
black victimhood. Being a victim of a racial slight often causes the victim to
speak in tongues. Victimization is so coveted that some believers fake racial
incidents and speak in forked tongues.
Black Lives Matter
is a mega church for the religion of blackness. LeBron James and Colin
Kaepernick are pastors at the Nike denomination of BLM. It was James’ and
Kaepernick’s responsibility to change the culture of sports from worship of God
to worship of blackness.
Look at what has
happened in our lifetime. As a child, the most frequent message you would see
at a televised sporting event was a fan in the stands holding a sign reading
“John 3:16.”
For God so loved
the world, He gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may
not perish, but may have life everlasting.
Now, we are
bombarded with messages promoting the salvation of loving blackness. Some NBA
players wore jerseys with “Love Us” emblazoned on the back. Can they not
recognize their narcissism?
Loving a skin
color, loving a millionaire black athlete, loving a black rapper improves the
world? Really?
Salvation,
justice and fairness are delivered through the love of God, not through the
love of man regardless of his skin color. We used to understand this. Love,
submission and obedience to God ended slavery and Jim Crow, and they will
retard the last vestiges of American bigotry.
White liberals have
convinced black people to take God out of the equation and replace Him with
Barack Obama, LeBron James, Dr. Harry Edwards, Colin Kaepernick, Black Lives
Matter and all the other approved symbols of unapologetic blackness.
I object to this
insanity. Love of my skin color is not America’s salvation. Random white people
loving me is not the key to my happiness, freedom or success in this country.
