Obama intentionally fostered divisiveness and society is paying the price.
In a perfect world, the color of one’s skin would not become
the primary identifying factor for individuals. In a perfect world, we would
view all members of the human race as brothers and sisters. In a perfect world,
nations would be united under the common cause of loving one another as Christ
loved us. Unfortunately, our world is broken. Our world has neglected the One
who created all things and we have become enamored of the things of this world.
Our former and continuing divider in chief, Barack Obama, never ceases to use any
opportunity to further divide the nation.
Prior to Obama’s 8 years in the White House, we were well on
the way to overcoming our sordid past and evolving into a color-blind society.
Once our first black president was elected, it was expected that the racial
divide would finally become but a distant and faint memory. But Obama chose to shine
a spotlight on our differences and revert back into the community agitator that
he truly was. He used his bully pulpit to make certain that any and all racial
animosity would be resurrected from the dead and positioned as a fundamental issue
into the nation’s collective consciousness. “The police officer acted stupidly,”
“If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.” For Obama, there were few
incidents that race did not play a prominent role.
One of Jesus’ most important commands was forgiveness. Jesus
said, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. / But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive yours.” Matthew 6:14-15.
Our history is not pretty, but it is no worse than other
nations. Slavery and racism were not confined to America. Those detestable acts
were part and parcel of developing nations throughout the history of the world.
Far too many have lost their lives for far less than what happened during our
history. If we dwell upon the past, it can, not only define us, but it can overwhelm
us, acting as a cudgel that destroys a right relationship with God.
“Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free
and realizing you were the prisoner!” Max Lucado.
Karmello Anthony, a 17-year-old African American high school
student athlete, decided to enter a tent of an opposing team at a track meet armed
with a knife. He was looking for an excuse to use his weapon. When asked to
leave the tent by a 17 year old white student athlete Austin Metcalf, Anthony
responded, “Touch me and see what happens.” After a brief altercation, Anthony
stabbed Metcalf in the chest killing him. Anthony has since been convicted and
sentenced to 35 years in prison. The African American community, especially
some of the leaders, are outraged, accusing “the white dominated system” of making
an example of Anthony because he is black. When you enter hostile territory and
arm yourself with a knife, your self-defense strategy is defective.
The Obama administration championed undeserved scrutiny
against law enforcement and defended accused persons of color to recompense past
grievances. The President of the United States defended those practices and
directed his DOJ to enforce them. That has incited racially charged incidents into
needless confrontations that often escalate to violence. The implementation of DEI
and CRT further bolster this grievance and entitlement culture among minorities.
Virtue-signaling liberal elites, predominantly white, use their influence to
further the lie of an unjust, white male patriarchy that systemically instills racism
at all levels of society. This helps create the aura of unaccountability for
persons who believe they are resisting an unjust and unfair society.
Democrats manipulate those who accept the grievance culture narrative
and who want “their fair share” as reparations for past injustices. Democrats
can rely on receiving votes from the “underclass” that they have created for
themselves by using government largesse as inducements. Even though most
receiving those benefits remain trapped in poverty, they falsely believe that
democrats are more compassionate and reward them with their votes.
“Their false compassion is called compassion and their
false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent
spell.” Aleister Crowley.
Democrats are the ultimate manipulators. Democrats not only love
hypocrisy; they revel in it. Democrats will use any strategy to gain and
maintain power, no matter who they destroy in the process. For democrats, those
foolish enough to vote them into office are just that, fools they care not about
until it is election time.
“We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction
between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation
of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the
language. Arne Tiselius.
Until democrats reject the leftist ideology that has
overtaken their party, they must be rejected at the ballot box. Until democrats
agree to uphold their oath of office, submit to the rule of law, and advocate
for the truth, they cannot and must not hold positions of authority. It is time
for our Constitutional Republic to be restored as one nation, under God. In order
to have an environment where we can seek a better life, enjoy liberty, and be
free to pursue happiness, democrats and their leftist cohorts must be soundly
rejected.
