By human nature what hurts us is what we tend to avoid! For example, I press the deacon and all Black Christian Americans where did our race get the Christian religion from and the answer is from White people because Christianity is their religion.
The deacon said Christianity came to him from his grandmother, but he is not really addressing my question and that is because it hurts him to know that his Christian religion is the White man’s religion. And therefore, he avoids the dialogue!
Siebra Muhammad said to me that the things I said about Black Americans having the Islamic religion and sucking up to the Arabian ways hurt her and as a result she blocked my communication to her for over a year. She said that she has immune herself from the truth I say and now the things I say doesn’t bother her! To immune your self from the truth will not help you since you cannot immune your self from God and God is truth.
Ever since I was a young man I had a tendency to tackle the most difficult things first. I did the same thing when I entered the workforce. I am a carpenter by trade and the things that were my responsibility I tackled the most difficult ones first and got them out of the way. But what the deacon and siebra do is to avoid the difficulties to handle the easiest things and avoiding altogether the difficult things.
It our new country these type of attitudes can not help us as a race gets ahead in our country!
I remembered listening to President Kennedy’s speech to the nation he said that America must land a man on the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard!
When you avoid the things that are difficult it should tell you that you are not all that you should be.
