NO LOVE!!!
The freedoms we have in America are still the greatest
reason why this country is so great! And the ability to change for improvement
to enlighten the face of this country is amazing! I heard many opinions about
the recent shootings in America and all are valid because it’s from each person’s
perspective, so let me share mine. If a person has never been racially
profiled, discriminated against or called the “N” word then that person can’t
know the fears and humiliation that follows these actions of hate, he/she can’t
have the right perspective, the same if a person has never lived in the ghetto
or projects or experienced a major crime against him/her. I grow up with all of this surrounding me and
I can tell you the rules are very different than most. If you didn’t dress the
part you were rejected, if you didn’t stand up for yours or knew the right
people, you were weak and constantly bullied. The law enforcement was the enemy,
neighborhoods looked out for each other and snitches were dealt with.
So what does
all this have to do with the shootings, well, our culture is influenced by where & whom we spend our time and especially in what we hold our faith. If a person hangs out with a thug, he/she will reflect a
thug and live a thug life and policemen (some) don’t care to know the difference. So now!
Just because baggy pants style came from prison or hardcore persona is promoted
by rappers, doesn't give a policeman the right to take a life for
racial profiling, absolutely not! The only solution to fix the discrimination
in this country is by minority owners take ownership of their neighborhoods and start building establishments to educate, influence and direct the youth positively, like minorities did in the past before racial dominant people burned them down. Also start telling them they matter
regardless of their differences and learn to stand up for their rights, peacefully,
when their freedoms are being threatened. Now! Even with all that said, the key
element missing from our nation laws, social systems and technology is the establishment
of real & true
love. And the only form of love that never fails and is unconditional
is the love of Jesus Christ. Gun control, seeking revenge or creating more
division among the people is not the solution.If a country loves its people, why does it keep building bigger and bigger guns instead of finding safer effective ways to reach the same goal. For example: Manufacture bullets that sting or neutralize a person or any other form of technology that will disarm a hostile situation...
Remember!
Timothy 6:1 (KJV)
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
If a country continues to live without moral instruction or moral standards it will continue to suffer many sorrows… Guaranteed!
