Po-lie-ticians They Are Not For Black People

Unless you are rich and educated...

Politicians make it very clear that the ones they care about are the rich and educated because in a society where capitalism exist, one is only interested in the benefits of one's own self. Now if you put one's own self into one big unit then that would be everyone who is rich.  There is a democratic party, republican party and a independent party, but within all these parties one factor is the same they are all rich.  So if we live in a society where it centers one's own self becoming rich and if you look at it as a collective group which means all rich people, why would they ever want to help the poor.  We must turn our eyes to the Lord who is rich in houses and land John 14:2 HE will provide for you Psalms 23

James 2:1-13New International Version (NIV)
Favoritism Forbidden
2 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b] also said, “You shall not murder.”[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Commentary
James condemns acts of favoritism.  Often we treat a well dressed, impressive-looking person better than someone who looks shabby.We do this because we would rather identify with successful people rather than apparent failures.  The irony, as James reminds us is that the supposed winners may have gained their impressive lifestyles at our expense.  In addition the rich find it difficult to identify with the Lord Jesus who came as a humble servant.

We are often partial to the rich because we mistakenly assume that riches are a sign of God's blessing and approval.  But God does not promise us earthly rewards or riches, in fact, Christ calls us to be ready to suffer for him and give up everything in order to hold on to eternal life (Matthew 6:17-19; 19:28-30; Luke 12:14-34; Romans 8:15-21; 1 Timothy 6:17-19).  We will have untold riches in eternity if we are faithful in our present life.  (Luke 6:35; John 12:23-25; Galatians 6:7-10; Titus 3:4-8)
