  • People are mad about Target and stores getting burned down. What about Black Wall Street?? And we can’t forget about the 4 little girls that were killed in Birmingham when the Ku Klux Klan put a bomb in church while they were attending Sunday school. Years, and years, and years of oppression.

      Our forefathers would be totally embrassed by us.
      1. We need to get back to God. I'm glad he showed the church first. 2. Stop talking like our efforts of our forefathers were in vain. Before the target burned, because of them you could walk through the front door.
      3. Remember the past but move forward. Don't stay in the past. You fight this future by yourself you will not make it. They dealt with their present because God gave them strength to deal with it. You will lose if you go without God. Do it God's way or no way.
      4. Know who your real energy REALLY is. Has your vote changed anything? If your vote has not changed anything THEN change your vote. Each will convince you that the other is after you. Research each one and look for results. I said results not hot sauce. RESULTS
      5. To find out who controls you. "Find out who you aren't allowed to criticize".

      Try starting in Africa,. You know the muth land.
      Your ancestors were captured by Warring tribes. They where then traded through out Africa India and other countries
      For gun and ammo and other things that could be used for
      Trade. Long before they were brought to US for sale or trade Slavery is still going on in some countries.
      Be kinda hard what country in because I don't think that slavers took names
      Their manifest would have read something like 50 black males, 60 black winches etc.

    I remember when I was like 7 years old which would be in 1976 I was in the second grade and I remember having to run home for my life at 7 years old because a group of white males called "the white power" burst into our school and was trying to terrorize all the black students and teachers at an elementary school. We didn't understand what that was all about in second grade, 7 year old kids but they came with the intent to put fear in our hearts for them but now I'm older and just as 1Corinthians 13:11 says when I was a child I spoke, understood and thought as a child but now that I'm older I put away childish things and so I'm no longer walking in fear of people that choose to be ignorant and uneducated to the gift of my blackness that was given to me by our creator God himself. Their soul purpose is to come to destroy the very heart and soul of good boys, girls, men and women but I say unto them and them means anyone that hates or discriminates on my blackness because you fail to educate yourselves to who I really am as a human being that just so happen to be created black. God gave me the permission to say this and I'm saying it Isiah 54:17 No weapon formed against me shall prosper. God love and kingdom is made up of all mixed blends and mixed flavors. God didn't and nor will God ever create one flavor to be better than the other.
