THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA

Justice For Trayvon Martin Movement / The Thank You Letter

THE VERDICT / NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE.

A Non- African American Jury, Judge and Prosecutor Tried A Case Where A Non-African American Man Gunned Down and Murdered A Teenage African American Boy.

WHAT DID YOU THINK THE VERDICT WAS GOING TO BE?! GUILTY?  I DON’T THINK SO.

[I encourage you to share all of my posts about the continual and horrendous injustices perpetrated upon African Americans by the “in-Justice System” in America.  --- My voice is not restrained by political or monetary considerations.  I only wish to Keep It Real.]

------------------------------------------------------

I was reading some comments from a friend’s page and there was a cold heartless suggestions that if “Trayvon Martin had not circled back and attacked Zimmerman this wouldn't have happened.”  This statement assumes that Zimmerman’s version of events is true.   And also implies justification for murdering Trayvon.

Then there were some African Americans who agreed with the verdict -- seemingly they were trying to garner favor and acceptance from those who would at onetime enslave them, castrate them, rape their women, hang and burn them.  These confused and sad souls are obviously not aware of or not concerned with the plight of the African American male.  They don’t realize that non-blacks have been killing black men with impunity for centuries.

We all know that if a black man in America had shot and killed a white boy in the same manner in which Zimmerman gunned down Trayvon Martin, the jury selection, the prosecution’s approach and the outcome of the trial would be a lot different.

However, we should never expect those who were privileged enough to enjoy generation after generation after generation of continual financial, social, civil and political freedoms, favoritism and privilege to understand or empathize with the holocaust and judicial disparity that we have suffered and continue to suffer in America.

“Keeping It Real”

(O.W. Prince)

God Will Avenge His Elect

I was once privy to a situation where one man or group or men had power and control over the success and/or failure of another man’s ministerial career. They proudly exercised their denominational and ecclesiastical authority over the young man- effectively stripping him of any individuality, self-esteem and divine direction from God and turning him into a replica of themselves and a peddler of their doctrine.

One day the young man became acutely aware and convicted of his fall from God’s original calling and he dared to challenge the status quo and began to preach and teach what God sent him to preach and teach [The Gospel of The Kingdom of God] with power, conviction demonstration and authority.

When the ecclesiastical power structure could not again indoctrinate him into their clique and politics, he was summarily dismissed from any preaching or pastoral assignments and “blacklisted” as undesirable and removed from any possibility of being reassigned or recommended for a pastoral position until such time as he complied and met with their political and unscriptural demands.

The contemporary religious leaders of his community effectively closed the doors of career opportunity for this young man and denied themselves and their congregations the saving Truth sent to them by God through his servant. (Mark 12:1-10) They also denied God's servant the right to serve and complete his mission.

I am so happy that I don’t sit so high as to determine who God can or cannot use. (Acts 10:9-15) I am so happy that I don’t sit in the seat of power where I can stand in the way of God’s plan or another man’s calling or kill another man’s opportunity to serve God, be successful and earn a livelihood. (Matthew 25:40)

Those who sit that high will answer to God one day.

O.W. Prince
