Why Are We Still Saying “One Nation Under God?”

I was watching “We The People with Gloria Allred” about a case between two co-workers.

During the deliberations, the plaintiff was shown to be an obnoxious bully who incessantly harassed the defendant about her weight and eating habits. 

The plaintiff made some remark that she believed the defendant to be pregnant and that the defendant may have been ashamed of being pregnant because she was unmarried.

Judge Allred questioned the plaintiff about what she meant by implying that the defendant may have been ashamed or embarrassed about being pregnant and single. She wanted to know if the plaintiff thought that the defendant should be ashamed of being single and pregnant. The plaintiff, in effect, back peddled and said “of course not” and that she was a good person – implying that good people do not think that being single and pregnant is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. 

However, this same “good person” was not admonished or questioned about bullying someone about their weight or eating habits.

It is obvious to me that the demonically clandestine and subliminal message in all of this is that it is alright to harass someone about their weight and how they look but it is unacceptable to suggest that someone should be ashamed of being a fornicator and becoming pregnant outside of the bonds of holy matrimony. 

“We don’t even have the common decency to be ashamed of our own sinful behaviors anymore. We have become brazen in our filthiness and disgusting in our whoredom.” (O.W. Prince) 

Why are we still saying “One Nation Under God” when our courts and laws openly contradict the moral principles of God?

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS...

"They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.  Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. That, however, is not the way of life you learned." - Ephesians 4:18-20 (NIV)

~ African Americans Deserve Reparations Too! ~

Reparation is defined as the act of making amends, offering expiation, or giving satisfaction for a wrong or injury. It is the payment of damages.

We All Agree that Slavery and her children, racism, discrimination bigotry and racial supremacy were and still are egregious ills within our American Society.

This government has forgiven the debts of countries that were formally our sworn enemies and supplied them with the blood, sweat and tears of our men and women in uniform. This country has rebuilt the infrastructure of war torn nations and repeatedly put our men and woman in uniform in harm’s way in the name of democracy and human rights.

However, this nation has not afforded former slaves and their decedents the same courtesy and/or financial benefits that was granted to such countries as Afghanistan (12.9 Billion in aid in 2011), Israel (3.2 billion in 2011) and Iraq (2.14 billion 2011) and this does not include the human cost.

A fraction of such aid as reparations for this country’s horrendous and brutal acts of slavery, racism, discrimination as well as its clandestine policies that permitted the inhumane and immoral lynching, murders, rapes and dismemberment of its African American citizens (namely the black man) and their families, would go a long way in repairing the generational, social, psychological and financial health of the race.

Regardless of the few exceptions that have been allowed to rise to the level of affluence, fame and/or fortune, there is still a significant population of African Americans who have not left the plantation, mentally, spiritually, socially and financially. The holocaust of slavery has generational ramifications that are just now coming to light and must be addressed on several levels none the least of which are financial reparations.

Now, this article may be offensive to some but it is not intended to be. The uplifting of a people wronged does not diminish anyone but benefits everyone. (Bishop)

If you are of African American descent, please feel free to chime in with your opinion on this ongoing question. I will not challenge your opinion or confront your position on the matter. I just want to give you the opportunity to be heard on the matter or at least think about where you and your family would be financially, socially, educationally and psychologically if we (African Americans) were afforded the same privilege and aid that foreign nations are afforded by this country.
