If you anticipate people will call you a racist, you probably are

Posted: May 12, 2015

If you are getting angry because you can't say what you want about race? Definitely a racist. Because nonracists don't ever worry about things like that. Now if you post on subjects from a racial perspective with intent to provoke, not only is that racist in and of itself, but the fact that you enjoy provoking reaction and then play the victim when people do? Well, you're not just racist, but a the very definition of a bully as well. But you know what's true about bullies, don't you? They're just junkies needing a fix. Don't react emotionally and you detox the junkies (or they go somewhat else to get their fix;) Otherwise, interesting the subject of religion came up in the same threads on racism, isn't it? I'm not sure if we have the same father in heaven and his son or not, do you think we do? Because neither my father in heaven, nor his son, would consciously and repeatedly push the buttons and boundaries using known derogatory and racial slurs just to get a reaction, nor play the victim when people did react and try to get the reactors in trouble. Neither my father in heaven, nor his son, would criticize someone just because as an African-American, they gave a speech to an historically African-American University and admitted they felt hurt by a cartoon depiction of themselves with an Afro and a machine gun in New Yorker magazine and call THEM "racist" for mentioning there are extra hurdles they may need to overcome. Neither my father in heaven, nor his son, would state as fact things he knows are questionable or untrue to deceive others over politics or money. Neither my father in heaven, nor his son, would lie about other commenters here just because they disagreed with him, nor stand by and watched them bullied over politics, and especially he wouldn't stand by and watch his adult friends do that to others over politics or money. Neither my father in heaven, nor his son, would leave 2 or 3 responses to the same commenter, pretending to be different people, just to make them feel ganged up against, just because she (AKA as Burt the Cat) wrote a beautifully compassionate comment encouraging others to think about what it feels like to "walk in others shoes" regarding race, and they definitely wouldn't call HER a racist for doing so. Though my father and his son may use parables or warn of consequences for our own good, they would not knowingly use untrue or questionable stories, stating them fact, to manipulate people into panic for political or financial gain. Because though my father may be tough in warning us with consequences, he is till our father who loves us and wants what's best for us; he wouldn't intentionally create confusion, chaos, panic, anger, shame or pain in his children. No, the book about my father and his son says only the father who would do something like that is the "Father of Lies", who has come to kill, steal and destroy; but my father and his son instead came to give us ALL life and that more abundantly :) So for those who have been treated in the above ways here by those who call themselves Christians, over politics, I an SO sorry. But please realize this - though they think they're justified or got away with it because no one saw? The book about our father says he did - as well as that when it's time for them to meet him, though they think they're safe just because they believe? Many will come and cry "Lord, Lord, see what we did for you in your name?". But it's precisely because of evil done in his name he will instead turn to them and say: "Depart from me, I never knew you, ye workers of iniquity." So try to remember if you see people calling themselves Christians, but instead do the above things in his name? They have NOTHING to do with MY father... his son told us so...they're just showing you who their real father is instead ;) ;
