The poor african american conservatives are grossly, overlooked in this country. If you're poor and an African American that's fine. As long as you don't have any morals, values or spirituality.
Of course, the aim of a constitutional democracy is to safeguard the rights of the minority and avoid the tyranny of the majority. By Cornel West. It's not just important to have African Americans in positions where they can help the community.
Nevertheless, we need the right African Americans there. More often than not we get our people in these positions and they sell us out. They become spies, conspirators, enforcers for the man. All under the umbrella of doing a great job.
It's acceptable and promoting behavioral little stabs in the backs of their own people. For example: African americans following so, called policies which are used to instigate disagreements leaving human violations as a recourse of defense.
We have a lot of animosity towards the wicked systems that put us out of arms reach of wealth. And then join that very system for change and then become a new weapon in their arsenal against us.
My aim is not to provide excuses for black behavior or to absolve blacks of personal responsibility. But when the new black conservatives accent black behavior and responsibility in such a way that the cultural realities of black people are ignored, they are playing a deceptive and dangerous intellectual game with the lives and fortunes of disadvantaged people. We indeed must criticize and condemn immoral acts of black people, but we must do so cognizant of the circumstances into which people are born and under which they live. By overlooking these circumstances, the new black conservatives fall into the trap of blaming black poor people for their predicament. It is imperative to steer a course between the Scylla of environmental determinism and the Charybdis of a blaming-the-victims perspective. By Cornel West
Kĕpha Bĕt (2 Peter) 1:2-21
[2] Favour and peace be increased to you in the knowledge of Elohim and of יהושע our Master, [3] as His Mighty-like power has given to us all we need for life and reverence, through the knowledge of Him who called us to esteem and uprightness.
[4] Through these there have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the Mighty-like nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world, caused by lust. [5] And for this reason do your utmost to add to your belief uprightness, to uprightness knowledge,
[6] to knowledge self-control, to self-control endurance, to endurance reverence, [7] to reverence brotherly affection, and to brotherly affection love. [8] For if these are in you and increase, they cause you to be neither inactive nor without fruit in the knowledge of our Master יהושע Messiah. [9] For he in whom these are not present is blind, being shortsighted, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins. [10] For this reason, brothers, all the more do your utmost to make firm your calling and choosing, for if you are doing these matters you shall never stumble at all, [11] for in this way an entrance into the everlasting reign of our Master and Saviour יהושע Messiah shall be richly supplied to you. [12] And so I intend to remind you of these matters again and again, though you know them and have been established in the present truth. [13] But I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by a reminder, [14] knowing that the putting off of my tent is soon, even as our Master יהושע Messiah made clear to me. [15] And I shall do my utmost also, to see to it that you always have a reminder of these matters after my departure.
[16] For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we made known to you the power and coming of our Master יהושע Messiah, but were eye-witnesses of His superbness. [17] For when He received respect and esteem from Elohim the Father, such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Esteem, “This is My Son, the Beloved in whom I did delight.” [18] And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the set-apart mountain. [19] And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, [20] knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one’s own interpretation, [21] for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-apart Spirit.
None of us alone can save the nation or the world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we commit ourselves to do so. By Cornel West
