For many years, I wondered why European Jews voluntarily
marched into cattle cars to be shipped off to Nazi
slaughterhouses. How could they compliantly participate in their own
destruction? Why had so many lost the will to survive? Or
was it that so many thought their compliance would guarantee
survival? Some Jews thought not and fought to the death, like those
in theWarsaw
ghettos, yet far too many didn't. I always wondered why, until
now.
This
aging Baby-Boomer can no longer dwell on past Jewish deadly compliance because
I'm faced with the deadly compliance of people who look like me. The
words of George Santayana are
unknown to the less informed masses of black America, but the intended lessons
should have been learned long ago. "Those who cannot remember
the past are condemned to repeat it." Many of us forgot, and
others never knew.
Black
Americans are not being herded into cattle cars. Today's eugenics is
not publicly barbaric, nor is it the maturation of scientific
fantasies. It requires smooth lips instead of sharp tongues,
pretended promises instead of protruding barbwire, and hidden death instead of
open genocide.
I've
lived long enough to witness the racist pre-Civil Rights negro-controlling
techniques evolving into the self-perpetuating genocidal black machine we have
today. What the Klan, Jim Crow, segregation, and every other racist
policy couldn't accomplish has been accomplished beyond the expectations of theAmerican
Eugenics Society because of a singular unalterable
fact. The society that perverts the family structure of man, woman,
and child cannot stand, because every society that abandons the truth of God
will eventually collapse. Once that foundation has eroded, the
society will crumble under the sheer weight of its own depravity.
But
many will say, "Wait a minute, blacks make up only 13% of
the U.S. population. What is happening to them isn't necessarily
representative of the whole nation. Also, America is still strong,
and our economy is booming. Just because black folks can't get their
act together, doesn't mean the whole country is doomed!"
That
is even more reason to pay closer attention to what is happening to blacks in
America. Throughout our history, black Americans had a strong faith
in God. We trusted God throughout the slave
years. Trusted him during Reconstruction. Trusted him
throughout the years of Jim Crow and segregation. The pinnacle of
that trust was on full display during the fight for civil
rights. Unfortunately, after victory was obtained, our parents
dropped the ball, and we let the air out of it.
Our
elders engraved the harshness of the struggle in our souls, but they left out
God's demand for forgiveness. They made sure that we never forgot
being sent to the back of the bus, back of the store and back of the
restaurant. They just didn't remind us that God always had our
backs. They didn't want us to ever forget about the separate
drinking fountains; they just never insisted that we remember Jesus meeting the
Samaritan woman at the well. They always told us to believe in God,
but their actions taught us that dignity and self-worth are achievable by
trusting in government.
Some
may say, "The church is still here. We fill the pews every
Sunday, and we love the Lord." To this I say, so did many Jews
in the Northern Kingdom underJeroboam. They
loved the Lord in their own way, but not his. They worshiped him in
their own way, but not his, and they also worshipped golden calves, thereby
rejecting the First
Commandment not to have other gods beside him.
Aren't
we doing the same thing? If God wouldn't settle for a syncretistic
form of worship from the Jews, why would he settle for it from us?
The
pre-welfare black society understood the necessity for respect and
responsibility. From slavery until LBJ's War on Poverty programs,
intact black American families were the norm. The church was the
glue that sealed biblical bindings in the hearts and minds of the
family. Fathers governed their households, and young men were less
likely to become criminals. Fornicators and adulterers were
unwelcomed parasites. Premarital pregnancies were a rarity, as they
were a cause for shame and reproach.
In
1950, eighty-five years after slavery, the two-parent black household was78%. By
the mid-sixties, black lives started to matter much less under LBJ's Great Society. Now,
just fifty-three years after the War on Poverty began, the once stable
two-parent black household has disintegrated to an abysmal 27%,
and the black church is all but silent! The roots of this
catastrophe were sown the minute the black church started trusting in
government instead of God.
While
the two major political parties share joint responsibility for the state of
government, the Democratic Party has placed itself in direct opposition to
God. Those whose stand against God dig their own graves, and the
black church by and large has decided to dig alongside the Democrats.
Contrary
to the first covenant God made with man, that a man shall leave is parents and
cleave to his wife, the Democratic Party accepts, defends, and promotes the
blasphemy called "same-sex marriage." Contrary to the fact
that man was made in the image of God, thereby having intrinsic value far above
any other creature, the Democratic Party endorses, justifies, and defends
euthanasia. Contrary to the Lord's commandment that
we shall not murder, the Democratic Party supports and defends abortion for any
reason up to birth.
The
Democratic Party's promotion of same-sex "marriage," euthanasia, and
abortion shows its complete distain for the God of the Bible. Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, "The church must be reminded that it is
not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the
state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never
its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it
will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual
authority."
Those
prophetic words from the late Dr. King foretold the judgment evident in large
segments of the black church today. If the black church were still
the conscience of America, she would soundly condemn every affront to God.
Instead,
we have filled our pulpits with biblically disobedient pastoral pretenders who
endorse the God-dishonoring policies of the Democratic Party. Even
though judgment will begin in the house of the Lord, they have no fear of
God. The human rewards they gather today will cost them a godless
reward throughout eternity. To whom much is given, much is required.
When
the black family trusted in God, there were difficult days, but God always saw
us through them. With our present trust in government, we still have
difficult days, but will God continue to be our guide? Being
only 13% of
the population, we have over 30% of
the abortions and account for 40% of the
criminal justice statistics, and at 27%,
the black two-parent family is almost nonexistent.
The
Jewish people survived the diaspora and
Nazi genocide because of the prophetic plans of God. He even brought
them back to the Promised Land. The only land for black Americans is
America. The only hope for the black family is complete repentance
and a return to trusting in God. If we fail to repent, ours may just
be the foreshadow of the fate awaiting the rest of the nation. If that
happens, we can forget about partaking in this melting pot called America,
because all that will remain of us is a stain at the bottom of the pot.
