You're Not Black Enough:

How do you "really" feel about being you?

2008-05-27T09:31:00.004-04:00

In my opinion it is more important to like ourselves then love ourselves. Why? Because love is an emotion and is part of our emotional DNA, - therefore we all will experience love in some way no matter how distorted it may be. People that hate themselves love themselves enough to run to safety when their lives are in danger -- it's built in.

But "like" is not built-in -- it's an acquired taste, in order to "like" ourselves we must look ourselves in mirror of our lives and be completely honest about what we see, and how we feel about it. I believe, we can never truly love ourselves until we first "like" who we are as an individual person -- because "liking" who we are restores inner peace.

The journey of inner peace begins with first identifying all the things about our personal character that we do not like. So here is the exercise:

Get three sheets of paper; draw a line down the center of each one.

Sheet One
On the first sheet write this heading: "All the things I like about myself"
In the left column list all the things you like about yourself.
In the right column list all the ways you can improve them.

Sheet Two
On the second sheet write this heading: "All the things I do not like about myself"In the left column list all the things you do not like about yourself.In the right column list what you will need to do to eliminate the negative trait.

Example: Let's us a "gossiper" as our example.

The one thing all gossipers have in common is the fact that they like to talk (and that's fine) so the solution for a gossiper is not to "stop talking" because they are talkers by nature. The solution is to change from talking about a negative to talking about a positive --because that one change automatically puts you in a different class of people. Because you become a different person and people that are only interested in negativity will not be interested in talking to you (anymore) -- you just instantly improved the quality of your life by changing no one but yourself.

Sheet Three - list all the things you are grateful for.

Have a great day!
Love Ya.

The Universe's Message to you

2008-05-26T18:04:00.005-04:00

"We are all like flowers, and are here on this planet to express our creativity. When we do, our lives are filled with ever growing passion. We blossom, thrive and grow by leaps and bounds, and happiness is assured".

It's time to heal our pains, our deep-seeded fears and destructive anger, so that we can live our individual lives as a collective force for the "Greater Good". It's time people, it's time -- the planet is in a healing dynamic and if you fail to synchronize yourself with it, by healing the pains of the past, your anger will consume and destroy you. That is why there is so much physical illness in the world.

It's simply time to choose to rise above or be consumed.

Black People, I Challenge You . . .

2008-05-26T10:36:00.014-04:00

Have you ever heard that what you put out into the Universe comes back to you? Or perhaps the way you heard went like this:

"Be careful what you say, words are powerful"

Be careful what you say -- because the Universe will deliver exactly what we speak to her, to the front door our lives.

If words are power and will yield whatever we utter -- consider this: if everyday of your life you are talking about and blaming racism as the reason for what ails your life. Would it not stand to reason that if, the concept of "words are powerful" is true then it means that, you and you alone, calls all of your so-called racist experiences to your life.

Now lets consider the many times within a day that you personally mention racism in any form. As of July 1, 2006 the US Census Bureau estimated approximately 40.2 million African Americans in the US. I have subtracted 20% from this group, which represents the black folk that do not suffer from the "it's everybody else's fault" mental disorder, which leaves us with an exact number of 32.4 million black people that must heal themselves from this condition, or they will perish in it (but not fast enough, to prevent being a societal detriment).

Now let's return back to the "words are powerful" concept, if every day 32.4 million black folk decried racism just 4 times a day (and we know its more than that), that would be the equivalent of telling the Universe 1,296,000,000 (one billion, two-hundred ninety-six million times - this represents just one day) that you want racism in your lives, so please deliver it -- and so She does, she sends you all the people on the other side of your reality that is in the same mental and emotional condition as you, so that the two of you can impulse each other.

This dynamic plays out both individually and collectively, and as long as your "racism" mantra continues, you will continue to call your emotional co-dependants to you, through out your lifetime. Until you get tired of your reality and change your thought process, so that your life can change -- or not!

My point is if you feel you are "embattled" with "racist" experiences, why not stop calling them to you, by ceasing to call everything you care not to deal with "racist".

By now your saying, "racism isn't going to go away because I stop talking about it". Logically, the only way to prove that is to do it. Which is the only way to obtain the data required to do a comparative analysis that will allow you to logically confirm or reject my findings. Outside of that you're just functioning in pure "fight or flight" mode -- based on nothing but unresolved emotional trauma, so I challenge you to prove me wrong.

The Challenge:
For the next 30-days do not mention the word racist or racism.

Do not call anyone racist (verbally or mentally)
Do not go on the "black man's blues" rant (and don't listen to it either)
Do not claim that "they are trying to destroy the black male" (they are doing a fine job all by themselves, and you know it)
Do not converse with someone on a "racist rant" (they will lower your energy field, like vampires -- because misery loves company)

TIPS:

Keep a pocket calendar and every time you catch your "racist rants" jot it down. At the end of the week total the number. This number will reflect the many times you could have uttered something positive into the Universe -- and received something positive in return.
Journal your experience (and an experience it will be), write down all the things you feel about taking this challenge, the changes you see in yourself and those around you.

There are no external solutions -- all solutions reside within us -- if you really want change, YOU must BE the change. Now the question gets to be: do you have the mental fortitude to raise your own mental and emotional vibration, so that YOU can create a better life for yourself -- or will you continue to render yourself powerless by erroneously thinking, someone else is responsible for your happiness?

Are You Up For The Change Challenge?

PS. Remember:
Drink more water, you'll feel better.
If you don't control your own mind, someone else will control it for you.

Love Ya!

Black folk are not mad about slavery

2008-05-25T09:23:00.010-04:00

My theory about black folk pretending to be "mad" about slavery is this: the average black person has not read "a" book, chapter or paragraph about slavery, and if their life depended on it they could not tell you when it began, why it began or if it really happened, based on any knowledge they possess in reference to it.

However, since it is used as the number one reason why black folk "cannot" do "anything". It would stand to reason that if one were going to use slavery as the reason why all that ails them, ails them, an intelligent person would at minimum be profoundly astute in the subject matter -- wouldn't you think?

A logical person would be able to match up every condition of their life with the chronology of slavery, in order to prove their case -- that is, if indeed "slavery" is the "game" used as to why everyone else is suppose to do for you, while you do nothing for yourselves. Right?

I surmise that "black folk" don't have a problem with having been enslaved in and of itself, at all -- the problem is that black folk are pissed off because they can't remain slaves. Why?

Because as a slave, you do not have too:

Wake yourself up in the morning
Find and maintain shelter
Supply your own food
Think for yourself
Get a job and keep it
Be educated
Educate yourself
Be responsible for your children
Know or use proper grammar skills

Do you get it? Doesn’t this sound "JUST" like black folks condition?

Black folk are pissed off because they do not want to change from their own mental state of slavery -- and that is where the "gimme, gimme and gimme more" destructive mindset comes from – because you want to stay in the pit of ignorance, because that has become your comfort zone.

And your anger with "white people" is because they won’t be your slave master and provide all of your “amenities”, like they used to do in the “good ole days”.

The other factor is that you want their approval, and you're not getting it, so what do you do? -- Lash out just like a child throwing a tantrum i.e. riots, picketing, and false uprisings* to try to get the attention from your mental slave master that YOU won't let go of.

How is that for a theory? Now I told you to hold on, perhaps you should get some seatbelts for you chair, because I haven't begun to touch the tip of the iceberg of my mind on this subject. It's going to get pretty hot in here -- because I am tired of the madness black people! So if you can't take it, too bad for you.

*Yes they're false uprisings -- how do we know? Because when blacks do it (whatever "it" is) you have nothing to say, it only matters if a "white person" is involved. That's called hypocrisy people, "church" didn't teach you better than that?

Why do "black folk" walk in the street?

2008-05-25T09:08:00.008-04:00

I have a question to ask that I have wondered about since I was a child, and it is: Why do "black folk" walk in the street, instead of using the sidewalks. I am really perplexed by this behavior, especially when I know that if there were no sidewalks for "black folk" to use and "white folk" had sidewalks, there would be another "uprising" and a lot of grandstand "picketing" going on.

Because black folk would DEMAND to be treated the same way! Oh yes, you would. You just told yourself that I don't know what I'm talking about and "Black folk" don't walk in the street -- next you'll say they don't barbeque on the front porch and sidewalk, right?

I really am perplexed about this, because not only is it nonsensical but its very dangerous, and while I do have my own theory as to where this behavior is grounded it would be interesting to here from someone that does it. So if you care to elaborate, please do.

The (whore) House of Dereon - turning little girls out

2008-05-24T08:53:00.018-04:00

Apparently daddy Knowles (as in Beyonce) has decided that since Beyonce has married a pimp then he probably won't have much control over her anymore, so the next best thing is to turn out all little girls so that they want to look like daddy's first prostitute. The following is my comment made on another blog:

". . . Beyonce just got married; I'm sure in a very short time she will be to emotionally screwed up (being that she's now married to a pimp) to think of ways to make babies look like whores.

Basically she was and is pimped out by her parents (and now her husband) and she clearly doesn't know any better -- because this has been her way of life -- all her life, but she will soon learn.

And mommy, is so caught up in competing with her daughter, by trying to look 24 herself that she clearly is irrational. I would imagine that the guilt of prostituting her daughter messes with her psyche. So in a sick convoluted way if she gets other "innocents" into the look of whoredom then it would somehow mean that what she has done to her own child is normal.

You know the concept; an addict wants to turn you into an addict, a drunk wants you to be drunk too -- otherwise when they look at you, you remind them of what they are doing to themselves.

Besides, Beyonce may have a big ass, but she is not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, and neither is mommy. Basically they have both been pimped out by daddy -- of which no one sees very often, I'm sure it's because he doesn't want it to look like he's the family pimp.

And when Beyonce’s big ass drops she too will be trapped in a holding pattern and spend the rest of her life trying to look 24 years old just like mommy. Unfortunately, in the mean time they will continue to pimp the babies – to ensure that their dynasty continues – just like the cigarette cartel, the drug cartel, the prostitution rings and so forth and so on . . . ."

But in all fairness to the Knowles family, it would stand to reason that if before the launching of the "Bootylicious Kids" campaign you did not have a problem with the very way Beyonce carries herself and you allowed your precious little girl's to watch her shake her naked rump -- then why would you have a problem with it now?

Because you would have to know, that your precious one is going to want to look and act like Beyonce and all the other women that have chosen to prostitute themselves to the industry. Were you telling your daughter that the way Beyonce acts is not acceptable . . . or were you shaking and grinding right along with her?

And as you can see from the above ads, the Knowles family is not prejudiced -- it's all about the equal opportunity to turn everybody’s daughter out. From the Americas to Japan!

And just in case you haven't noticed "The House of Dereon" sounds like the name of a "Whore House".

The verdict: The Knowles family Is Black Enough.

2008-05-03T09:50:00.012-04:00

Directing black folk to shut the down the city, don't forget to tell them this too:

Stop destroying your own neighborhoods (and everyone else's)
Stop killing your own people (and everyone else)
Stop condoning foul-mouthed rap music
Stop speaking "ebonically" (improper grammar or no grammar)
Stop blaming white people for your self-induced misery
Stop bailing your guilty sons out of jail so they can reek more havoc
Stop allowing Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and now Jeremiah Wright to emotionally impulse you into doing all of nothing to change your self-induced pitiful condition.

Then tell them, that they can start by first picking up the paper in their yards and then do not throw anymore on the ground. Forever!

Instead of this Madness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bLaAd8Tj8k and all because you couldn't drink out of the "white peoples" fountain when you were twelve years old. And because your shame, hurt and pain has never been resolved you seek to impulse all black folk so that you will not be alone.

The same holds true for Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and every other black person that simply cannot progress beyond their emotional pain.

And by the way did you and Jesse Jackson ever apologize to the Lacrosse players, or hold the "black" woman that lied accountable? Did you? I don't remember you calling a press conference for that. Did you?

You don't say that "white people" put AIDS in our community to kill us. My question is this: if you know that it was put there to kill you, then why is it killing you?

Before AIDS can kill, you would first have to exhibit a specific behavior in order to be infected, and if you did not, you would not get infected.

So, why don't you just not get infected? You do realize that infection is contingent on your own actions, don't you?

The real problem again, is that you do not want to take responsibility for your actions.

Irresponsibility is what's killing "black" folk, not AIDS, not diabetes, not high blood pressure, not strokes, not kidney failure, not even crime. These are merely symptoms of a greater problem, which is irresponsibility--irresponsibility is the common denominator among all of the above.

Not taking a driving position in our own lives, is our problem. The above conditions are the result of not understanding, because we do not care what our physical bodies require to maintain a healthy state. And because of that, we get what we've got.

The general cope out is usually this:
"my momma ate this way, my grandmother ate this way, her grandmother ate this way and they all lived to be 80 years old".

So the question gets to be: how many of those 80 years were they sick, fatigued, and in pain . . .? People it's about quality of life, not just breathing.

Ask anyone with diabetes or on dialysis if they prefer sickness over good health. . . ask yourself.

The other factor is this: after "AIDS is put in our community" to kill us then why don't we take an active role to prevent our children from being infected? Because we do not care, and won't care, if caring means we have to CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOR.

We have become so accustomed to blaming everyone else for all that ails us (including the trash in our yards, that we put there) that we are unable to recognize the detrimental role we play in our own lives.

People, this is madness!

Teen Charged After Video Features Gun-Waving Grandma- More Sorry Parents Defending Their Violent Guilty Son

2008-04-23T17:55:00.012-04:00

More Sorry Parents Producing Sorry-er Children

These pathetic parents of this wayward child has the audacity to say that what is clearly evident in this video is a "mis-understanding". Instead of holding their child accountable they "protect" him and say that "he was not abusing his grandmother". Never mind the grandmother's rights. And they do not seem to understand that, the fact that they are devastated about his arrest does not mean he is innocent.

Not only should they be applaud about how he treated his grandmother, but also about the entire content of the video. Stay tuned, this is merely another case demonstrating of how "black" folk protect their violent sons. Because weak-minded parents beget weak-minded children. It's a given--this boy is destined for prison, we will hear his name again.

You're Not Black Enough If . . .

2008-04-23T09:43:00.032-04:00

You are not a black person that does not rise up to protest “racism” for the guilty black male that got his ass kicked by the police--you know the one that is in jail because he just killed two “black” women and their “black” children.

Of course the hypocrites among us couldn’t care less about the murdered “black” people, because all that matters is that the “black” murderer does not get his ass kicked by “white” people. As though he doesn’t deserve it. The other thing is: even if he got his ass kicked only because he’s “black”, if he had NOT murdered people (any people) he would not have been in jail in the first place.

But yet again, the “ protect the black male at any cost” curse strikes again. Protect him so that he can pillage the village—your village, as in: rape, drugs (sold to your other children), molestation, murder, torture, stealing, car jacking, and fathering children he does not know or care about. You name it, all the things you claim you don’t like but your ignorance and weak mindedness deludes you into thinking that you must protect the “black” perpetrators of this destruction because they are “black” and only because they are “black”.

So you black hypocrite’s can get off of the: “only white people do stuff like that” tangent. You’re lying and you know it!

You do not live in a house that is encompassed by security bars because “white people” wants something in your house. Nine times out of ten your security bars are to keep your own sons, nephews, grandsons, stepsons and godsons out—you know, the sons that: you protected at all cost—the one's that were too cute to chastise--the one's that's terrorizing you now--the one's that will slit your throat at the blink of an eye. You know, the cute one's, that can do no wrong.

The one's you aided and abetted in pillaging the village because:

"My baby boy can do no wrong"
"He just got caught up with the wrong crowd"
"its somebody else’s fault"
"The “white man” is trying to destroy my baby boy"

No you destroyed your baby boy, when you stood by him in wrongness when he was two years old. You set the stage for and contributed too the village pillagers. Are you proud of yourself? Are you happy? Have you shown "white people" something? Other than the fact that if you fail to do what is "right" as opposed to what is "black" you will in essence fund your own destruction and find yourself held up in your own personal prison that you call home, afraid of you own son.

Don't get upset, it's the truth face it, and then move forward to correct those things you have done to contribute to this madness. Like, sitting your son down and saying to him:

“I was wrong in protecting you when I knew you were wrong. I realize I did not help you, our people, the world or myself by doing so, and because I know that I failed to instill the importance of taking responsibility for your actions it has caused me to carrying a heart wrenching guilt with me throughout life. And that guilt is so hard to bear that it caused me to continue to bail you out of jail because I know I didn't do right by you.

But now I realize that until I take the steps to at least try to rectify my mistakes things will not get better for you, me, our people or the world. So from this point on I will not bail you out of jail, I will not stand by you in wrongness, I will not continue to say that the "white man" is trying to get you when I know that it is your own actions that get you in trouble.

You're my child and I love you, but I realize that to truly love you I must hold you and myself accountable. And I am asking you to forgive me for not having the foresight and courage to teach you the importance of self-control and responsibility. But if we are going to have a healthy relationship, a better community and a better world we must first start by being better people, and this is where I need to start in my life”.

Topics you will also need to discuss if he is going to improve his condition and become an asset to the world:
Employment
Getting his own residence
Taking care of the children he has fathered
Education
Dressing: letting go of the “thug” look i.e. sagging.

Understand, as children in the formative years (from birth to age 4) they must be taught everything that we want them to know. So if you did not teach him how to be a responsible father you cannot expect him to know how to be one. Therefore you will have to take him step by step in order to do so.

Basically he is still the 2-year-old toddler that did not get what he needed to grow up and be a responsible adult. So to just tell him to "man up" or "be a man" is not enough because he really does not know how. You will literally have to teach him, provided he is willing.

In addition, you must have undaunting patience to correct your mistakes, so don't get perturbed when he rejects the idea of responsibility because all he knows is irresponsibility and blaming others for his self-induced reality--because you taught him that. So in all fairness you really cannot be mad at him, but nonetheless he must be held accountable or you will be burying him soon--or he'll kill you before you get to bury him.

And even if he rejects you and your efforts to help him be responsible, you may still feel bad about not being there in the first place, but all you can do at this point is earnestly attempt to correct your mistake. Because if you do not try, when the streets take him, the guilt will taunt you and ride you to your grave.

So if he rejects moral correction you simply must understand, that your moral obligation must then shift to what is best for society at large. And if that means turning his guilty, murderous, molesting and destructive ass in to the "cops" then so be it. Because the way I see it, there are only two types of people inhabiting the planet; you are either an asset or a liability. And if he is a liability he must be put in check otherwise he will destroy everything and everyone in his path. And since he is a product of you, you must be the first one to put him in check. An easy task when you factor in that not even you are exempt, because he will eventually destroy you too.

This scenario plays out both microcosmically and macrocosmically (I'm not defining this, get a dictionary and look it up--then figure it out. That will give you something constructive to do).

You can see that Jesse Jackson is not a leader of any kind, outside of divisiveness. If you can see that Jesse sits back and waits for something to happen that he can claim as racist. Jesse suffers from un-resolved emotional trauma experienced in his earlier years. Therefore when something happens that remotely reminds him of that trauma he displays his "public racist rants", and no other time do you hear from him.

The truth of the matter is, if white people vanished today Jesse would have nothing to do or talk about. He lurks in the background waiting for another chance to impulse black folk into an emotional state of "us against them".

For instance: why does he not stand up against black on black crime? Because he does not have a problem with black on black crime, his problem is that he needs the validation of those he says he hates the most, and is simply pissed off because they won't validate him.

Jesse why don't you tell black folk to clean up their yards?--a simple task.

Why don't you denounce the foul-mouthed rappers?--because obviously you agree.

Why are you not calling press conferences to denounce black males that kill black women and children Everyday?--because you don't care about black women and children everyday, because if you did you would start with denouncing the foul-mouthed rappers.

Why don't you denounce corrupt black politicians? Because you don't have problem with corrupt black politicians.

Jesse your problem is that "white people" won't validate you. You are simply emotionally needy.

You suffer from "emotional hypocrisy" which is the inability to see things accurately because your un-resolved emotional trauma blinds you from the truth because your pain is too much to bear. Which causes you to blame "white people" for all that ails you. So as it stands now, until you heal from where you are Jesse You Are Black Enough, and that's not a good thing.

Some of you will say, "a lot of people have the same problem" and I agree. However, the difference here is that Jesse calls press conferences and impulses more division in the world through emotionalism just to feed his deep-seeded pain, and nothing real or meaningful is accomplished in the end.

Don't agree? Observe him, from a non-emotional perspective and you'll see it too. Jesse Jackson is an emotional basket case.

If you can't seem grasp how black males can degrade women (while women defend it and dance to it) through so-called music, but then will turn around and fight and kill someone that "disrespected" their "momma".

As though the bitches and ho's mentioned in their favorite songs does not include their "momma".

And to add insult to injury, the wayward mother's of these wayward kids also listen; dance and finger pop to this destruction. Then they make their son's vow, to not allow anybody to "disrespect" their "momma". And are proud when their son gets in trouble, goes to jail or kills someone that called his "momma" a "ho", the same "ho" that his favorite music raps about--and his "momma" dances too.

But these people claim to have a problem with Don Imus -- no they don't, they just like to fight and be violent, and any excuse will do.

Why do you not have a problem with the rappers not rapping about the value of education, the importance of a clean neighborhood, the importance of true self-respect, how and why to respect women, the disadvantage of becoming a teen parent? You do not seem to have a problem with your daughters dancing to so-called music that degrades them -- but you have a problem with Don Imus.

People do you realize this is total madness? In educated terms it's called Hypocrisy.

Some Actual Facts:

Fact #1. The school that Oprah founded in Africa is for black people. Oh! Not black kids in the US. Are we talking about the same US were the majority of black kids are not interested in school because they have grown up in an environment that refuses to take responsibility for themselves. Consequently, they see no value in education, keeping the neighborhood clean or safe. Or do you really mean--Oprah won't buy you what we want.

While the small percentage of black youth that chooses to be an asset to the world are subjected to navigating through the low-caliber mind set that taunts them because they possess the ability to simply enunciate.

Fact #2. Tickets for the Oprah show are available to all that take the necessary steps to obtain them.

The Weakest Among Us

We have allowed the most violent and uneducated among us to take hold of the airwaves in what they call music. So no matter what you attempt to instill in your children they ultimately are highly influenced by the most degrading among us.

Then we justify condoning this degradation by saying it's entertainment because we do not have the fortitude to stand against it. Because we know standing against it, starts in our own households, with our own sons.

And because black women have bought into the "protect the black male" at any cost nonsense, we have allowed them to pillage the village, in the name of pseudo love. Then we turn around and say, that "white people" want violence in our neighborhoods. People those that are destroying our communities, killing, raping, murdering are the same sons that we vowed to "protect at any cost" Well the cost, is us.

Then these people keep populating because they are not responsible parents so it does not matter how many violent and ignorant kids they have. In the mean time, responsible people are not having baby after baby because they understand what goes into raising children. So the violent and ignorant population out grows the responsible poulation by leaps and bounds.

How did this happen, because everytime we hear the truth of our condition, we point the finger in another direction. Which means we do not learn and grow, and each generation becomes more and more violent and ignorant.

For those that say: "you can say that about any people". My response: this blog is about black people.

You know that fifty-cents (two quarters, or four dimes and two nickles, or fifty pennies) lives in Massachusetts. A geographical area that his poor uneducated black fans do not even know exists, and certainly cannot spell.

Other Facts:

His yard is clean
His cars are not parked on the front lawn
He does not barbeque on the sidewalk
I repeat--He does not barbeque on the sidewalk
And if you tried to interact with his children he would not allow you too, because you are uneducated, and considered a bad influence.

You want Barack to be president. Because a black president means that the "black hypocrites" will not be able to continue to hide behind the "I'm black, therefore I am disadvantaged, I have no opportunities, so I can't do anything and you have to take care of me". A black president would force the "black hypocrites” to come face to face with their "gimme, you owe me" mentality.

In reality, a black president is the worst nightmare for all black folk that do not want to improve their condition -- i.e. change. Because then the “black hypocrites” can no longer use "being black" as a reason to be a social parasite.

I know, I'm a -- Sell Out! -- But a truthful one.

Black folk are always saying "the truth will set you free". Is that ALL truth or just what you want to hear?

And we must not forget this statment:

"yeah, but no matter how far we've come, we'll never see a black president"

The reality is black hypocrites do not want to ever see a black president.

A black person that does not see the rationale in riding around in a Mercedes, Jaguar, Cadillac i.e. brand new expensive car while living in a dilapidated house in a crime ridden neighborhood. With uneducated children walking around in $300 gym shoes, carrying $400 purses and thinking that phrases like “where you at” is the way “real” black people talk.

A black person that does not use the bible to perpetuate hypocrisy by claiming that “Good Christians” “forgive” therefore all that he/she has inflicted on others should be forgiven, forgotten and consequence free. Because “all fall short of the glory of God”. Along with the, “he that has not sinned, cast the first stone” MADNESS! But then absolutely will not “forgive” the “white man” even though this forgiving black person purports to be a profound Christian—total hypocrisy!
