10 "Requests" of white people from a BLM leader

[euphemia]

My DNA shows 6% Middle Eastern and all the rest from western Europe. I'm blond and blue eyed. Go figure. I think the ancestral home in Scotland was purchased by a relative who is Korean.

If we do not learn to forgive others, what makes us believe that God should forgive us?


John 15:18-27 (KJV)

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Yeah, I get all of that, donnay, but all I was saying is that there is also scripture throughout the Bible that tells us that worldly battles against the evil destroyers is the right thing to do. There are scriptures that remind us, that as saved Christians, we are still citizens of two Kingdoms.

Anyway. As I said earlier, we're darned if we do and darned if we don't.

I'll try to turn the other cheek as best I can but if I ever end up on the receiving end of this horse pucky because I'm simply white...

BLM leader, ''you got hands: use them."

...then Ima pop it like it's hot. Somebody's catching a major ass whippin on that day. No doubt about it. Sorry. I'll lask the Good Lord to forgive me.

I'm done with the thread.

Proceed, all...

[Natural Citizen]

Well, no, one last thing I want to say before I hit the bricks is that the ways of the world were so much clearer when I held atheist views. I didn't have to put some kind of blinders on every day like everything was just okay and let the bad guys just do whatever they want without uttering so much as a word against them to the contrary of their actions. It was so much easier to call a spade a spade and be done with it.

144 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

[euphemia]

I'm not sure why your faith hinders your opinion. I have plenty of opinion, but my faith means I don't worry about what bad guys do. God is ultimately in control. Underneath are the everlasting arms, you know?

[euphemia]

Frankly, it's easy to see who is tolerant and who isn't. I have a friend who is all New Agey. He says he honors all paths, but one time he asked me a question that meant I had to be flat out honest on a matter of faith. He tried to argue the point. That's when I knew he really did not honor my path and that while he said he believed in everything he really believed in nothing. He's still a friend.

No offense to you intended, it's just that I've had a few of those "friends" in my life... drop him like a bad habit. It's foolish to surround yourself with people like that because it always ends poorly for you. Always.

[oyarde]

Maybe the American Indian would have something to say to Channel about all this land stuff.

Well , maybe Dankes Minnesota Casino Indians could teach the black commies some capitalism .

[DGambler]

Wish people would learn to understand the difference between racist and bigoted.

I'm getting triggered by a lot of $#@! lately.

If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:23

It could be what church you go to, if you attend one at all, but easy calls aren't always for the best. For one, spades can't lie but people do.

It's okay, really. He's not in a position to give me too much grief. Hopefully he came away from the discussion with some things to think about

[Danke]

I cannot take any commie seriously that starts sentences with " White People " . My white friends like Danke would not drink with me if I did that .

"My white friends like Danke...?

you been smoking Peyote again tonight?

[lilymc]

Looks like more media propaganda to create a reality civil war show.

^ This.

^ and this.

White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader

https://www.leoweekly.com/2017/08/white-people/

Aug 16 2017

By Chanelle Helm cofounder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter Louisville

1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists $#@!s, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the $#@! they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

Notice that "passing laws that hold police accountable when an innocent person is killed" isn't on the list.

[shakey1]

My advice is stay out of the cities.

... and if you must go, be aware of your surroundings, lest you be targeted for their particular brand of chosen aggression.

[Swordsmyth]

Notice that "passing laws that hold police accountable when an innocent person is killed" isn't on the list.

That would deprive them of their best tool for inciting violent revolution.
They WANT more dead black people, it's good for business.

[euphemia]

Here's another interesting point: The government-licensed media likes people from the Middle East as long as they fit the stereotype of Muslim and ignorant. The well-educated Arab-speaking Christian population are all but ignored. I had an opportunity to advocated for a zoning variance for a group of Arab-speaking Christians, and I took the opportunity to push every button I could, including calling them, "underserved." As it happens, my testimony won the day for the group and I couldn't be happier.

I appreciate the opportunity to be able to express my thoughts in a public forum. Thank you all for indulging me.
