A few thoughts on “Racism”

I’m wondering if these social justice warrior celebrity athletes on strike (for Jacob Blake) know there was a knife on the floorboard of his vehicle he was trying to get into? Do they care? The answer is, NO. Reports are saying he may have had the knife in his hand the whole time.

But facts don’t seem to matter to people who already have their hearts made up inside. We are a racist country in their eyes. They are the victims. Victims who ironically get worshiped whole making millions of dollars to play with a ball.

But I want to know why?

I remember pulling a man over for speeding and he happened to be black. He immediately started in on his color and the “reason” why he was pulled over. I showed the laser gun with his speed. It didn’t matter. I was “racist” in his eyes. He kept going off on why he believes I’m racist. Yelling, screaming, mad.

I finally said to him, “You know, we usually see people not as they are, but as we are.” He was stuck in thought. Very agitated he said, “What’s that supposed to mean?” I said it again. “We usually see people not as they are, but as we are.” I went on, “Usually people who go around calling people racists are in fact the ones who are racist!”

As soon as I said it, I wanted to bring back the words, and couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth. It was before body cameras, and I thought he would for sure make a complaint. In my 7 year career I never went to Internal Affairs because I never got into trouble; but this time as the words came out I thought I would be making my way into the office. I just called a black man racist at a traffic stop.

Instead of him asking for a supervisor, the man looked at me with so much anger in his face and said, “You’re damn right I’m racist!, I hate the white man!”….. I stopped …“Exactly!” I blurted out.. “That’s exactly what I thought!”

I wanted to cite him for the full amount over the speed limit so badly, because of what a jerk this man was, no, not because he was black, but because he was being a horrible person (along with speeding) but I didn’t. I gave him his license back and said something like, “Most of us got into this job to help people. I’m sorry you feel that way toward a person of a different color.”

As I looked at him before he drove off, I knew he knew that he had the problem, and not me. His bias was exposed, not mine. His problem has tainted his heart, not my heart. I was thankful I didn’t give him a ticket because I know he will always think twice about that experience.

America is not racist. America is the most diverse country in the world. We won the civil rights movement 50+ years ago. We worship talented black celebrities and athletes all day long. One of the richest people in the entire world is a black woman named Oprah Winfrey. A billionaire. How did she do it in such a racist country? We just elected the first black president of the US, not once, but twice. How did that happen if we are such a racist country? It did because we aren’t.

The ones pushing the narrative that America is racist, yes, are the racists themselves. In fact, they hate everyone. It’s darkness. Racism is darkness and hate; so we should just label it for what it is. Darkness and hate. Not racism. Usually people who are racist hate everything and everyone around them anyway. A man once told me in jest, “I’m not racist, I just hate everyone!” How telling that really is. It’s just darkness and hate.

Satan has been telling this lie from the beginning of time. He does this by entering into the hearts of those who believe they are victims. He pushes this victimhood mentality, usually by the media, to only cause more division and destruction. Satan followers are real spirits who can only enter into those who choose the darkness and takes possession. That’s why he’s winning these little battles right now. Because society is turning dark and cold toward one another. On both “sides”.

I believe the only answer is to not allow our hearts to turn cold and dark. When I watch a video of a group of black men going around and just beating up white kids for no reason, my heart hurts. I literally have to pray to soften my heart when I see it because I get so angry. But that’s truly the only type of real violence in seeing right now. And that’s justified?

When I watch actual injustice, for anyone or color, my heart hurts. And I will defend them to no end. But George Floyd’s death wasn’t because of racism. He had “deadly amounts” of fentanyl in his system. The DOJ just found out Jacob Blake did have a knife on the floorboard. Probably the same knife he may have used to rape the 14 yr old girl over and over. It wasn’t racist.

99% of cops are just trying to do their jobs with integrity. We must stop believing the lie they are racist. It’s not true.

We need more light America. And in order to have more light, we should all be standing up and speaking up about these issues, with love. Everywhere. That’s that only way darkness can be driven out. We can’t let fear take over. Faith (action) is the answer.
