Exodus 21:16

‘Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.’

So why does the sum of Europe still prosper and draw breath?

Why is their history, money, influence, and power still so supreme?

Why did America kill one of its greatest messengers, yet still celebrates his ‘dream?’

They often quote his message of unity, but erased his disdain and disrespect

Like when MLK said, ‘We’re coming to Washington D.C., to get our check!’

Why do the righteous still suffer, while evil and greed always seem to win?

If white people are ‘blessed’ for slavery and racism in America for over 400 years, why we are still shackled by morality and sin?

Got to remember that Moses was talking about how it should be for us. Evolving racism simply said to hell with the 10 Commandments and all that African crap. Like today, Afghanistan and Isreal get billions $$$$$$$$! Black Haiti is told to shut up and go to hell! We still got a lot of work to do to get down to battling with the lesser of the ruling evils. Great sermonic write. Thanks for the share. ONE. Peace and Love.
