I see
All I can do is serve as a watchman, and as a white Christian, to tell you well-intentioned, but o so naive brothers and sisters that an all-out, total war has been declared against you, me and our children.
I pray, YAHWEH to open your eyes to see the peril all around you.
It honestly saddens me that you think this way about your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Calling human beings 'illegals' isn't Christ-like. They are humans first. Funnily enough, I actually volunteer with a lot of illegal/undocumented immigrants. I try to serve God in the ways that I can, and when I saw them in need of basic human rights like access to proper healthcare, I was motivated to learn Spanish to the point where I could help translate medical terminology and help medical personel who can't speak Spanish. These people are real people with families, children, and jobs. You can't look to the media to tell you the 'truth' about things. Funnily enough, my parents are from a third world country. My grandmother was a slave and my grandfather was captured but escaped to Germany. The thing is, if my grandparents were able to raise my father/mother in a way that prevented them from seeing all white people as 'the problem,' then what is your excuse? I read about your experiences, but if a former slave can raise non-racist children, then I don't see your excuse. My parents names were changed when their country was colonized. To this day, people ask me why my first name is African, and why my parents' names are 'American.' My dad is about your age, but he never told me white people are 'bad,' or all white people are racist. They lived in a period of colonization, but STILL never raised me to be racist.
You're right, people are naive to think that race is of absolutely no importance. But the thing is, we are humans first, then Christians, then members of our respective races. Race is a social construct, not a biological one, or a biblical one. My racial experiences are very different to yours. I grew up/still reside in a 90-95% white, affluent neighborhood. I was the only black girl in my classes. In my experience, there are racist and non-racist whites. There were some white people that are 'extra accomodating' to me, because they know I'm one of only a few minorities here, there are some that are quite the opposite. That's part of life. But I never put all white people in the same category. Everyone is different. In college, I had to distance myself from a few of my fellow black acquaintances, because the way they talked about white people was just not right. I'm sure that white students talked about black students the same way, but I didn't care about that. I am a Christian before I am a black woman. I don't condone anyone of any race making negative comments about a particular race's smells, facial features, cooking expertise, etc. I have friends of all races. While in college, I began to realize that many black students who grew up in predominately black neighborhoods operated under the assumption, 'all white people are racist until proven otherwise.' I operate under the opposite assumption, 'all white people (and people of other races) are non-racist until proven otherwise.' It's interesting to me how you present a snippet of the realities of crime in America. If we want to talk about crime in America, we have to talk about ALL crime. Is it fair for me to assume that white men are more likely to be school shooters than other races, because of the way the media presents this narrative? No. You have to look at the statistics and see if they confirm this narrative. You talk about the rapes, robberies, and other crimes committed by black people in your former town, but all I see on the (local) news where I am is white men killing their wives, white boys shooting up schools with assault rifles, pretty gruesome stuff…but do I look to the media to tell me the 'truth' or do I look at the numbers?
"In a report released Thursday titled Race and Hispanic Origin of Victims and Offenders, 2012-2015, the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics found that a majority of most violent crimes are committed by people who are the same race as their victims. Indeed, the rate of white-on-white violent crime, it found, is about four times the rate of black-on-white crime."
So despite your anecdotal 'evidence,' and the way you try to skew the narrative, white people are more likely to be killed by other white people. This same trend is evident in other races. It's interesting that you put quotation marks around the word 'people.' No, black people are not "people," they are people. Just like every other race. You mentioned how the blacks' project was filthy and yours was clean. I guarantee you that I can find a white family with a 'filthy' project. Race has nothing to do with cleanliness. There is no correlation.
It's funny how you consider yourself a 'watchman' and propose this notion of a 'war on whites.' There is no war on whites, trust me. Show me the white man or woman that died after being knelt on for 9 minutes by a black or non-white police officer. I don't think that has ever happened in the entire history of the United States. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please). Actually, I'm 99.9% sure that never happened, because if it had, it would have went down in history. (And the police officer would have been given the death sentence).
Honestly, you have God-given free will. It's your prerogative what you think and what you say. I understand not everyone is an ally. But you aren't even neutral here, you're proposing that blacks are out to get white people, which is not the case. I honestly don't see how you came to that conclusion after watching the George Floyd video. Someone knelt on him and killed him and now there is a war on whites? I'm not understanding your line of reasoning.
Black people aren't out to get anyone, trust me. They just want to be able to live. Period. I don't think that's a lot to ask for. I pray to God that one day He will open your eyes to the reality of life; the color of our skin has no affect on what lies within. Hatred of other races is unbiblical.
And you will probably not tell me, but what exactly do you propose that white people 'do' to 'protect themselves' from this so-called, 'war on whites?' Something tells me it's unbiblical…
