What Happens When You Are Under Oppression

and this is why we say "BLACK LIVES MATTER!"

 Today we as black people hear our cry of BLACK LIVES MATTER, yet other blacks are also saying "BLACK ON BLACK CRIMES MUST STOP." Then we are paid less and are given more work than whites. We are the less than 11.6% of the work force and our unemployment rate is 9.5 to whites 4.5. We are often the victim of police brutality. We are consider lazy and are on welfare more than any other group of people. On top of all this, we have blacks who sell us out for their own profit and gain. To add to that, black's with a slave mentality who only want to serve their white master. These things happen when you are under OPPRESSION. Let me show you...

 1). This is why BLACK LIVES MATTER read... EXODUS 1:6-10,1:15-17

 6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Hebrews were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them. 8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Hebrews have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.” 

1a. Because of fear and intimidation of them being over ruled, or left to work for themselves, the Eygptians  try to stop the population of the of the Hebrews and kill the boys to keep the population down. EXODUS 1:15-17

 15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 

2). When we cry out "Black on Black Crimes Must Stop" we must first look at the reason why we are having "Black on Black Crimes" to begin with. Read... EXODUS 1:13-14

13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” 14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” 

2a). When under oppression we will turn on ourselves because we are the easiest target to attack. We have been condition under Stockholm Syndrome to have feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.

3).Why we are paid less and have more work than our white co-workers, for prosperity of whites. Read... EXODUS 1: 7,11-14

7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota.
11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

4). We are often times the victim of police brutality...Read EXODUS 1:11-12

11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

4a). Because we are under oppression when are the likely target of police brutality and unsolved murders. When people say "All Lives Matter" after we and I say after we say Black Lives Matter they are trying to play down what is happening to our black people. Especially coming from a history of being consider 3/4 of a person.

5). We are consider lazy and on welfare...Read EXODUS 1:6-8

6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 

5a). So when you see reports about black being lazy and on welfare don't believe this America was built on the backs of slaves and is continually strives on black people. We even won't talk about Melania Trump's speech for just an example.

6). Black's selling out black people...Read EXODUS 1:14

14 And Pharaoh’s slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed, demanding, “Why haven’t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?”

6a). Some blacks are helping keep black people oppress just to have life better for themself, as you can see the Israelite/Hebrew people had their own overseer, so that meant they actually were not doing the work but made sure their people continued to do the work.

7). In spite off everything that happen to the Israelites/Hebrews some of them still wanted to go back to their oppressor... Read NUMBERS 14:1-4

14 That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! 3 Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4 And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

7a). Stockholm Syndrome along with the rest, is what we face as people of OPPRESSION...





This is only for the definition of Stockholm Syndrome all of his views I don't necessarily agree with.

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)

Black People Can Not Be Racist

It Is Systemic and It Will Not Benefit Them



EXODUS 1:8-15
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”

11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”

As we read in the Bible the Israelites were hated by the Egyptians they were treated unfairly they worked for nothing and were enslaved,  They were a strong nation of people and they grew stronger in number because of God.  Pharoah became very fearful of them growing stronger and he decided to put more pressure on them by increasing their workload and putting slave masters over them, that were of their own people to help keep them under control.  That was for their own benefit so that they could build them stores to keep them rich and in power.  They thought with such harsh work and labor their number of people would decrease in population but instead they increased so much that Pharaoh decided to kill every male child of the Israelites to decrease the population.  This way Pharaoh  and his people could remain rich and powerful.  We as black people can't be racist because it will not benefit our people, we have no control over money, government or resources to where it would cause us to alter the lives of people.

Beverly Daniel Tatum, PH.D. from her book "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"  states from the ' "Portraits of White Racism David Wellman argues convincingly that limiting our understanding of racism to prejudice does not offer a sufficient explanation for the persistence of racism.  He defines racism as a system of advantage based on race' " "In illustrating this definition, he provides example after example of how Whites defend their racial advantage-access to better schools, housing, jobs-even when they do not embrace overtly prejudicial thinking. Racism cannot be fully explained as a expression of prejudice alone".
