SAYING WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID

OTHERS HAVE THOUGHT IT BUT I WILL SAY IT.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY UNITED STATES PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE NOT PERFORMED IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE POOR, THE MINORITIES, THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED AS WELL AS THE HANDICAPPED CITIZENS OF AMERICA. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF UNITED STATES PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE ENGAGED IN EVIL POLITICS AND UNJUST WARS WHERE OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WERE PURPOSELY PUT IN HARMS WAY AND MAIMED SLAUGHTERED ON THE BATTLEFIELD BECAUSE OF A PERSONAL AGENDA BY THE CHIEF EXCUTIVE OFFICER OR OVER SOME PHONY ALLEGATIONS OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. GENERATIONS OF MINORTY CITIZENS WHOSE FOUNDATION AND HERITAGE SPRANG FROM SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION, SOCIAL DEPRAVATION AND INFERIOR EDUCATIONAL AND EARNING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS JUDICAL DISPARITIES THAT STILL EXISTS TODAY HAVE HAD TO ENDURE THE EVILS OF RACISM AND BIGOTRY WITH GRACE, DIGNITY AND FAITH. 

HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME THAT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN BECOMES PRESIDENT OF THE UNTED STATES OF AMERICA; A SIGINIFACANT SEGEMENT OF THE WHITE POPULATION HATEFULLY BRINGS ALL OF THEIR POWER AND INFLUENCE TO DEMONIZE THE PRESIDENT AND TRY TO SULLY HIS LEGACY. MANY WHITES HAVE ACTUALLY LOST THEIR ABILTIY TO HIDE THEIR RACIST THOUGHTS.  OVERT ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST MINORITIES HAVE INCREASED ALONGS WITH RACIST SLURS AND DEMEANING DEPICTIONS AND OTHER INSULTS. WHITE SUPREMACISTS HAVE LOST MINDS AND SENSE OF DECENCY, PROPRIETY AND CIVILITY. THEY ARE OUT OF CONTROLL. WHERE WERE THEIR PASSION AND OUTRAGE WHEN BLACK MEN AND BOYS AND BLACK WOMEN AND GIRLS WERE BEING SUBJECTED TO THE HARSH REALITIES OF SYSTEMIC BIGOTRY, MURDER, RAPE, IMPRISONMENT, THE CLANDESTINE AND SYSTEMATIC DISMANTLING OF THE BLACK FAMILY AND THE CONTINUED POLICIES THAT KEPT THE POOR IMPOVERISHED AND WITHOUT ANY HOPE. THEY TALK ABOUT ENTITLEMENTS AS IF IT WERE A BAD THING BUT AREN’T THEY HYPOCRITES? THEY FEEL ENTITLED TO AN UNJUST PORTION OF WEALTH AND LIBERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN AND STILL ARE DENIED TO GENERATIONS OF MINORITES. 

I AM TIRED OF THEIR BELLYACHING AND WHINING ABOUT A LITTLE DISCOMFORT AND AN IMAGINED THREAT. I AM TIRED OF THEIR COWARDLY TACTICS OF SLANDER AND MISIFORMATION. I SAY TO THEM “BE QUIET!” YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CURRENT PRESIDENCY OR HIS POLICIES. YOUR FAMILIES HAVE NOT ENDURED GENERATIONS OF OPPRESSION. “BE QUIET!” YOUR WOMEN HAVE NOT HAD TO EDURE THE ABSENCE OF THEIR HUSBANDS AND FATHERS DUE TO A CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM. “BE QUIET!” YOU HAVE NOT ENURED THE LOST OF UNBORN GENERATIONS BECAUSE OF LYNCHINGS, MURDERS AND THE UNJUST IMPRISONMENT OF YOUR MALE POPULATION. “BE QUIET!” YOU HAVE NOT HAD YOUR WOMEN HABITUALLY SUBJECTED TO SEXUAL MOLESTATION, RAPE AND ABUSE WITHOUT JUDICIAL REDRESS. “BE QUIET!” YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU FEEL SUPERIOR AND ENTITLED TO COMFORTS, HAPPINESS, SECURITIES AND PLEASURES THAT WERE DENIED US.  IN REALITY, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS YOU WHO ARE SEEKING FOR ENTITLEMENTS?  SO WHY DON’T YOU JUST HUSH?!

IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THE DEMONIZING OF PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS RACIST OVERTONES. OTHERWISE, WHY WASN’T PRESIDENT BUSH DEMONIZED OR WHY WASN’T ANY OF THE OTHER FORMER WHITE PRESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DEMONIZED, PUBLICALLY SLURRED, SULLIED, POLITACALLY TERRORIZED AND CHARACTERIZED AS INFERIOR DEMEANING ANIMALS (I.E. MONKIES AND APES)? WHY WEREN’T THEIR HERITAGE AND ORIGINS SCRUTINIZED WITH THE SAME FERVOR AS PRESIDENT’S OBAMA’S WAS? WHY WEREN’T THEIR FAMILIES’ HISTORY OF SLAVE OWNERSHIP, ILLEGAL MANUFACTURING AND SALES OF ILLEGAL LIQUOR, ILLEGAL GAMBLING AND PROSTITUTION BROUGHT OUT PUBLICALLY? COULD IT BE THAT THEY ARE “ENTITLED?” 

SOME OF THESE RACIST MALCONTENTS SAY THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS AND THAT THEY REPRESENT THE MORAL RIGHT. LET’S EXAMINE THAT CLAIM.

Ecclesiastes 10:20 says, “Don't insult the king, not even in your thoughts…” 

Daniel 5:22 says, “…The Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.”

EVERYTHING IS ORDERED BY THE LORD, EVEN OUR PRESIDENT.

WHO ARE WE TO QUESTION GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY OR HIS CHOICE IN LEADERSHIP?

MINORITIES HAVE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE AND SURVIVE IN HUMILITY AND QUIETNESS -TRUSTING IN GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY AND GREAT MERCIES. I SUGGEST THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH THE CURRENT PRESIDENT TAKE A LESSON FROM THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO SUFFER THROUGH MANY PRESIDENTS.

TRUST GOD AND BE QUIET!

(BISHOP O.W. PRINCE)
