Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. ImageImageImage
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light, Image
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land. ImageImageImage

"Authentic black conservatism has always had the fundamental and explicit goal of opposing white supremacy."

— Kareim Oliphant

#BlackConservatives

If Burkean conservatism is a response to the French Revolution; African or Black conservatism, emerges out of, and in response to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

The Conservative Roots of #BlackHistoryMonth

"Arguably one of the cleverest artifices of white supremacy is the thorough scrubbing out of African civilization and human existence before contact with Europeans."

— Dr. Chidike Okeem

"When oppression and subjugation are falsely presented as the genesis of black human identity, it provides a pseudo-intellectual justification for the marginalization of black people both on the African continent and in the diaspora."

"Moreover, it provides a justification for self-hatred among black people who are not taught any better."

#NeverForget The Aryan Jesus in Nazi Germany: The Bible and the Holocaust

"We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer."

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer Image
"If it has come about that today The Black Christ; has to be led into the field AGAINST The White Christ; by a young black poet, than a deep cleft in the church of Jesus Christ is indicated."

#NeverForget

#WhiteNationalism is an abomination.

It was a movement so BARBARIC and DISSIMILAR in world history, that men had to find a new word to describe its satanic conduct.

The word that was settled upon' #Genocide

The #ArmenianGenocide started in 1915

The Holocaust 1941 and 1945.

But, before those two genocides trsanspired, one happened in Africa: "It took place between 1904 and 1908"

Filibuster is a perilous wedge lodged in the heart of our politics

"How could a country [Germany] so highly developed, cultured, and educated descend from a functioning democracy to a full-blown dictatorship in just a few years?"
bostonglobe.com/2021/10/30/opi… via @BostonGlobe
Is the Filibuster Just?

Does the Filibuster expand liberty or will it take it away?

The AFRICAN father of WESTERN theology whispering to another AFRICAN.

“Lex iniusta non est lex"

'An UNJUST law, is NO LAW AT ALL.’

You have to make the MORAL case against the filibuster -- not the procedural problems with it.
