Racial Unrest

August 29th, 2020, I just heard a black liberal talking head on MSNBC admit to the fact, the Democratic Party has used Black America to elect Presidents for generations.   That is not new, but her theology about the Democratic Party shocked me.  . . . . She basically admitted that using race was the only way Democrats had been able to elect a president.  She started her diatribe by admitting, the last Democratic President to get a majority of the white vote, was Lyndon Baines Johnson. Carter, Clinton, and Obama, none got a majority of the white vote. Obama only got 39% of the white vote.  I was not shocked by that, but what shocked me was, her basically admitting that spreading racial unrest was how the Democratic party approached elections.  Democrats were not necessarily interested in helping blacks, only keeping them voting Democratic.  

     I realized the truth of this, when as a teacher of history, I taught about the racial history in America. The founding of America, and the Constitution, blacks were used to attain power. How?  During the writing of the Constitution, an amendment was added to count blacks as 2/3 of a person, to increase the number of citizens in states with slavery, giving those states more representatives and power. 

     After the Civil War and Blacks were freed, the Democratic Party, intimidated Blacks not to vote. They kept Blacks dependent on the Democratic Party for any of the political freedoms Blacks possessed. Democrats during the next hundred years or so, continued to create racial division and unrest. President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, segregated the Federal government during his two terms in office. Future Democratic presidents were more than willing to help Blacks as long as Blacks remained dependent on them. Blacks could not show any independence from the Democratic party without suffering retribution. Republicans have ignored Blacks and even been racist towards Black causes, not only because Republicans were indifferent to Black suffering, or in many cases racist, but also because that is what the Democratic Party wanted, and that is how it kept is power.  Even LBJ when passing the Civil Rights Act was looking out for the Democratic party, saying Blacks (only he didn’t say Blacks) will vote Democratic for the next two hundred years.  

     One of the ways, the Democratic Party has kept Blacks powerless, is through their policies towards the Black community. Keep the community dependent on the Democratic Party though social government handouts and keep the population weak , by keeping the population from growing. 

    Look at population numbers from the United States census. In 1970, Blacks made up 11.1% of the population, Hispanics made up 4.4%, by 1980, Blacks made up 11.7% of the population, Hispanics made up 6.4% of the population, by 1990, Blacks made up 12.1% of the population, Hispanics made up 9.0 % of the population, by 2000, Blacks made up 12.3% of the population, Hispanics 12.5% of the population. By 2010, Blacks made up 12.6.% of the population, Hispanics made up 16.3% of the population. In 2060, the year it is predicted the white population will no longer be the majority population look at the numbers . . .whites are predicted to be 46.7 %, Blacks 12.6 % and Hispanics 31.6 % of the population. 

    Blacks are losing their political power, because of the polices enforced by the democratic liberals who dominate their politics. Why do think Joe Biden, made the gaffe regarding how he saw the Black and Hispanic communities. Why do you think President Obama deported more Hispanics than any other President in modern history, and yet at the same time created DACA, (which does not solve the problem, only creates a political issue which can be exploited for decades to come.) The democratic liberals, who for decades have used the Black voting base, to get and retain power, are in the process of looking for new racial groups to continue the policy of racial unrest, all for the sake of political power. But not being in position to control the Hispanic vote, they are trying to pander to them, and create relationships with Hispanic votes. The problem being many Hispanic voters are conservative by nature. Thus in 2020, the will be an election of racial unrest . . . . otherwise, as the liberal talking head admitted, we will not win this election.

The Gospel of Doug: The Son of Man

Who is the Son of Man? Was and is He a magician, able to make our dreams come true? Or a genie?  Was and is He, a loving hippie type of personality that only wants love, peace and harmony?
      In scriptures, it is obvious He is none of these things. Jesus Christ  is God in the flesh. He appearance in the world, is an attempt to establish and explain what our relationship with God the Father should be.  His life is an example of what this relationship should look like. . .  We can not and will not experience God's love fully, until we turn our lives over to God, completely and wholly.  That to me, in this time of Covid, means not putting our faith in cloth masks, or in Science, but understanding our lives are in God's hands. His Will be done. Closing churches to prevent deaths only shows a lack of faith in God's plans. It shows how flawed organized religion has become. We have to share in God's kindness, and understand it, before we can share it with others. This kindness isn't about acceptance, or tolerance, it is about learning what God expects from each and everyone of us, and then attempting to live up to those expectations .  The Son of Man is our guide, our big brother, helping find our way back home.

The Gospel of Doug: Kindness

    Is kindness inclusion? What if beliefs have to be altered to allow for this inclusion? Does Jesus love everyone with the same intensity, the same love?  In the Gospel Reading I heard today, Jesus compared a Canaanite woman to a dog, did He love her the same as the Israelites He came to save?
    She, the Canaanite woman, was not offended by Jesus, she basically said, "Yes I am a dog, but don't dogs deserve some of your love, Lord . . .even if it is only the leftover scraps of your love."
      Hopefully Christians won't be surprised by the reaction they get from God, and His Son, Jesus Christ, when they have put their lives, and wealth, and even their sexuality, before their love of Jesus Christ. Inclusion,  It isn't kindness, it is probably the most unkind thing that can be done to a person . . .For most of us, in truth, are dogs, begging for scraps we really don't deserve . . . .. .

The Gospel of Doug: The Holy Spirit

Matthew 12:31-33 31And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. 33"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. This bible scripture always amazed me, it still does. People seem to have no understanding of the Holy Spirit. As the world turns darker and darker, the Spirit seems to almost disappear in the thoughts of many Christians. At times like these, the Holy Spirit should shine around the world brightly. The Holy Spirit is a gift given from God. Giving believers a part God's power. He allows this power to dwell in us, in our souls. It grows along with its power, as we follow His word, and commandments. The Holy Spirit is a weapon against evil, but it is not God's finger on the trigger, it is ours. The choice to use it, is ours. When we decide to unleash the Holy Spirit onto the world, we are releasing the power of God, allowing God into the world, in a way, He can not enter Himself, because of His promise of free will for us, and because of His love for us. We are the only ones with the power to release His Spirit, His Holy Spirit in this way. . . . The Third Message from the Gospel of Doug
