"AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE"...YES AMERICA IS A CHRISTAIN NATION BUT TO QUOTE REV. J. W. WE
I HAVE GONE THORUGH MANY CHANGES SINCE I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS SITE...I HAVE GONE FROM JUST DISMISSING ANYONE LIKE THE REPUBLICAN ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT FAMILY, CHRISTIAN VALUES AND LIVING A LIFE OF OPENLYTHIS BEING A LIE...AND, YET THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TO BE LOOKED ON AS THE CHRISTIAN LEADERS...
THEN I CHANGED TO THIS IS JUST DONE BY THOSE W HO ABUSE CHRISTIANITY...AND THEN I CAME TO ACCEPT THAT EVEN THIS IS NOT TRUE SO IT MUST BE THAT WHAT REV. J. W. SAYS ALONG WITH MY EXPERIENCING THIS DAY IN AND DAY OUT...THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION BUT THIS CHRISTAIAN NATION DOES NOT PRAY TO THE SAME G-O-D...
I WILLNOT APOLIGIZE FOR "M-Y" TRUTH AND WILL NOT WORRY AS I WRITE THIS BLOG BECAUSE THE LAST THING THERE IS ANY INTEREST IS TRUTH AND MORAL BEHAVIOR ANY WAY...
MUCH LOVE, (SMILE)
Mom, your post is very heartfelt and I can totally relate to what you wrote. I have enjoyed your posts/comments and you bring a lot of knowledge and wisdom to BIA.
I mainly browse BIA while here at work, and YES for me it is refreshing to read and post discussions on current issues and events from other Brothers and Sisters whether they be NOI, Christian, Buddhist, or other. It helps keep me open minded, because nobody on the "Job" is discussing things on the level that we do here.
We are all here because we have something in common: We've all been made aware of the evils of racism/oppression, whether we have experienced it for ourselves or not. And since we no longer experience "Black Consciousness" in the street, it is no wonder that people seek sites like BlackInAmerica and meet up in this Open Forum.
We can maximize the benefit of the forums by being positive and engage in more creative dialogue. Mocking of one's leader, of one's English skills and the attitude of "my religious sect far outweighs yours" must stop. We have to at least begin to attempt to connect with one another (as mature adults should) with this forum.
Again, good post Mom I enjoy reading your posts and I hope that you still continue to post and respond to our discussions. The one thing that nearly all of us should have in common is a desire for a Black Culture that one could live and be proud of.
