Today’s Thought “One People; Divisible” G. Ward Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” There’s an irresponsibility from those presumed scholars who’ll suggest “benefit” from imposed atrocities on other human beings demoralized, even considered barbaric, even given first names unrecognized to their homeland, while neglecting issuance of a surname (deemed intentionally with an equivalency of owning a rake, or a shovel) and whereas many post slavery historical giants impacted by the same, sought to archive a spiritual attitude compelled by the Creator’s words – “Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance” (Jas.1:2-3), their words, sought to expound on those enslaved with commendation towards resilience while in horrendous captivity and thereafter, has now been unfortunately utilized by some political pundits to argue defense of a change ( through educational curriculum mandated differently, discounting every generation’s ingestion of what they thought was truth) as if we’re to believe these same legislators thoroughly have enjoyed reading from Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass’ manuscripts, who they say are heroes echoing their sentiments. We know these same post slavery giants would endure great degradations while attempting to be recognized as citizens of a land whose mantra is “all men are created equal” given by so-called “Founders” (shamefully proponents of slavery themselves) who allowed such a tag although an indigenous people existed in this same land ( and those colonizers having exercised a varied coup against these originals through great massacre, to then force them onto undesired territories, also considering them “less than”). Many absolutely forget, no other ethnic group were given over to this free land against their will and forced to establish benefits to all others whereby all benefit from an existential commerce beneficial unto any. A legislative change should never tamper with historical accuracies, for It would be with similitude in attaining graduate certification in “Mother Goose” phenomena. Our Creator has made us one people and if we perpetuate allowing philosophies divide to think resolution is near, why do you think the re-visitation in such an argument exists (cf. Ac.4:12)? Racist ideology persists because very few want to teach the Supremacy of our Lord and whereas HE made all men in HIS image, MOST DON’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HIM!
