@5pointpastor Brother, so your point about the union soldier: thank God for thier bravery and patriotism. The best of the American ideal. The confederates were traitors trying to protect thier ability to build wealth and power with free labor by enslaving my ancestors. The vestiges of that
@5pointpastor Struggle are still in effect today. Reconstruction, Plessy vs Ferguson, Jim Crow, Red-lining, war on drugs, etc, all have the same practical effect. For illustration, consider the average net worth of White families vs Black families. I am so thankful for blessed assurance 2/
@5pointpastor Of our ultimate deliverance from this totally depraved world. While we are still here, we must let our lights shine in this darkness. I think we have to confront the principalities and powers honestly if we are going to press toward the mark together.
@5pointpastor So I think disproportionate aggressive or violent police behavior by law enforcement against certain communities are also a vestige of the inconsistency of a nation that preached liberty and justice and benefited from the opposite toward a large section of the population.
