41 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hipocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Luke 6:41, 42 (NIV)
Throughout the recent campaign for the presidency of the United States of America there was a clear and constant theme; "racism." It was not the racism of the founding history in the United States, where black citizens were systematically and institutionally deprived of equal rights under law; but rather, it was a racism that demanded a common burden of guilt among white citizens for each and every offense ever committed against black members of the community. In this constant class indictment, where every caucasian was born convicted of the sins of their ancestors, the only acceptable penance was an open and unbridled confession of guilt and full throated vocal support of the Democrat nominee as the first "black president."
To accomplish this task required a blindness in his disciples of his far reaching liberal record and Socialist agenda; and a willing ignorance of each and every violation of election ethics and law. According to the mainstream media, no obstacle to the election of Barack Hussein Obama could be endured if the United States was ever to correct the error of its past and finally be free of racial prejudice.
Of course, the true racists (and there are many) could not be openly identified. Senator John McCain would have had the flesh beaten from the backs of any supporters who dared to rightly point out the blatant "race baters" of the Democrat Party (it was nice to see that President Bill Clinton, the official "first black president" could recognize the racism used against his wife). But, the truth be known, the ones most guilty of the crime of racism against the modern black community has been those enablers who enslave blacks with welfare, drive wedges between husbands and wives as they use every available tool to destroy the family, and promote the lie that white Americans are responsible for black violence, drug addiction, disease, and children that would rather join gangs than learn their lessons in school where they could really get ahead in life. And all the people said, "Amen!"
Yes, there is a racism of the past, and there is a racism of the present; but the current racism is almost never a function of those on the political "Right." Beyond the likes of Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat, West Virginia, and others like him who are happy to claim the black vote if it will keep them in political power, there is also the likes of religious power brokers who, rather than teach their congregants the values of Christ, are much more happy to blame others for the condition of their community. In this case, they maintain their power over their subjects, become rich off their ignorance, and are always able to point the finger of blame to others "who don't look like them" [do the phrases "Black Liberation Theology" ("...God d__n America!"--Rev. Jeremiah Wright) and "Nation of Islam" (Louis Farrakhan) ring any bells?).
Giving the "benediction" at the conclusion of the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama, the Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, founding member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, closed his prayer with the following phrase. He said, "...help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will do what's right." President Obama offered no rebuke, no objection, and no apology for this guest pastor's blatant racial assault against every white citizen of the United States of America. Obviously, he approved!
The lesson from Jesus in the book of Luke is one we all need to keep in mind. If we are really serious about overcoming racism we need first to recognize the prejudice in our own hearts. It seems to me that there is plenty for men and women of every race to do to "get right"; not just the "whites" of Rev. Lowery's prayer.
In truth, though, we can see that there is no penance that will ever be acceptable for this group of Americans who have sworn their souls to the Democrat Party. The reason is simple; they will never give up a tool that works so well to enslave white voters to achieve their Socialist agenda under the cover of overcoming racism.
The Democrat Party, the party of President Barack Hussein Obama, has set the tone for the foreseeable future; and it is clearly going to be a racism that continues to blame white America for every problem of the black community.
You thought racism had finally been defeated in the United States of America? Not as long as Democrats have a breath in their body to accuse your children of the slavery and oppression of the past.
