Positively Good Productions

For everything, God has providential

power and appointed times. God

determines the dates of our birth and

 death, as well as everything that

 happens in between.

Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us:

All of history and the way we view 

history is important. 

Some people believe that former days are 

gone forever. Ecclesiastes 3 demonstrates 

that this concept is not always true.

It is clear that God allows the past to return

to us for His purposes and our benefit. God 

makes good use of history repeating itself 

for mankind's benefit.

The past helps us remember 

who we are and Whose we are!

We can gain knowledge regarding

God's unmerited favor and grace 

by referencing man's past 

calamities. 

We have been shaped by history. When we take 

a deeper look back, we are humbled and thankful 

to see what God has delivered us through and 

what God has delivered us from.

As we travel through life, a historical 

perspective enables us to make sense of 

today's world and do everything we can

 to improve our tomorrows.

When we look back and see how far we've

come, we are compelled to consider both 

darkness and light. We can embrace the light 

without ignoring the darkness.The dark and 

the light exist in perfect sync. Sometimes 

they overlap, with one explaining the other. 

Both can inspire us to keep going, giving us 

the determination to overcome the current 

obstacle(s) or take a different path.

Past actions are the best predictors of future

 actions. Examining our past is one of the best 

ways to gain perspective. Some may believe 

that the past is best left behind, but we believe 

that looking back can be extremely beneficial

 when we consciously learn, grow, and gain 

insightful wisdom from our past experiences

 before moving forward.

Past actions are excellent predictors of how

 someone will behave in a situation and/or 

when confronted with a problem.

The past allows us to see the big picture. 

Our history inspires us to look forward. It has

 the potential to be an excellent fuel for 

preparing us for the future.

History is not just about mankin. History is

 about knowing God, reckoning with God, 

and keeping our thoughts fixed on God, the 

Source from which our highest good flows.

God is the ultimate possible good for us 

throughout history. A good that has no 

competitors or superiors.

God is our Teacher, our Guide, our 

explanation, our clarity, the meaning of 

everything.

The Scriptures are rich in history!

We must not lose sight of...

or disregard our history.

God bids an account of mankind's 

past, and God will bring every deed 

into judgment. 

(Ecclesiastes 12:14)

The theme of judgment and justice is 

prominent in Ecclesiastes. 

God's Will is Justice and 

justice will prevail.

History repeats itself, and those who fail to 

learn from history will pay a high price in 

the future.

The day of reckoning will not end in 

political arenas or boardrooms, but at God's 

throne.

God is in control of history... and evil,

 unrighteous circumstances will never be 

able to alter that.

All of mankind is made of flesh and is

 susceptible to immoral behavior. God's grace 

seeks to assist those of us who have jumbled 

our past.

By His grace and mercy... God seeks to 

recover and restore what may seem to us

 to be forever lost.

With God's help, we can do the righteous 

thing... learn from our history to better 

ourselves, and pay it forward.

God does not bring the past up for the 

purposes of condemnation, but for

 redemption.

History is being written for the generations to 

come and our decisions have long term 

consequences. What is happening now... 

has already happened in the past, and what

 will happen in the future... during our 

lifetime will either shed light... or dim the 

light that will drive future generations.

Solomon is essentially saying, In Ecclesiastes 3, 

that history is divided into three parts: the past, 

present, and future. We are surrounded by 

history, the present moment, and future 

possibilities. They are all linked together... 

they all are interconnected.

While not all of our history is positive, 

it is true that it took place.

The truth will set us free 

and lead us forward.

If most of us in my generation think back

 to our school days, we probably remember 

history as unrelatable and difficult to 

connect with. 

How can we learn from history if we selectively

filter, omit, and/or erase it?

All-encompassing historical 

truths can teach us valuable lessons.

We all have the right to know the entire truth

 and nothing but the truth about our existence.

America's past is very chaotic 

and quite often morally repugnant. 

How can we hope to build a better future if we refuse 

to acknowledge injustices and be honest about our past?

America's past is very convoluted, disjointed, and 

frequently distasteful. It's time for all of us to stop 

burying our heads in the sand and start living in

 reality... in the present moment. Let us prepare 

ourselves to face, examine, and draw lessons 

from our nation's heinous past and present 

circumstances, which we are still struggling to

come to terms with.

To overcome our racial history, Americans must 

first learn our racial history… as it truly and 

painfully happened. 

To erase everything associated with the dishonorable 

parts of our history does not mean that those events 

did not occur. It actually causes more harm than good.

To undermine America's stated ideals by expunging or 

rewriting history in order to fill it with misleading 

opinions, alternative facts, or manipulated events 

(according to the preferences of a few) is a mistake

that can lead us all down a very dangerous path.

Attempting to erase or sanitize the facts about 

the negative and ugly parts of history does not

 make them disappear or mean they never 

happened.

If the good, bad, and ugly truths about history 

are not shared, no one can learn or grow from 

the mistakes or accomplishments of the past.

Fear of the truth being taught says a lot 

about the person who is afraid.

If history offends people, this may be the 

motivation we need to avoid repeating 

historical mistakes and tragedies.

If we cannot learn from the

 mistakes of the past and history

 is re-created by the 

vocal minority... 

who is served?

History is not something that 

a few can censor, destroy, 

or erase. History is history.

Our history was not always pretty or kind, 

but it happened, and we are all responsible

 for it! When we love our country or someone, 

we should be able to express our feelings 

honestly and point out where one or the other 

is failing.

This is not to say that one is unpatriotic or 

unloving. It indicates that people are awake, 

concerned, and have our country's best interests

 at heart. It entails holding our country 

accountable to the ideals it professes. It means

 that we strive to live up to the stated ideals of 

the United States Declaration of Independence:

 "that we each have unalienable 

rights given to all humans by

 our Creator, among which are 

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of

 Happiness," 

which governments are intended 

to protect!

The history of the United States is not pretty. 

We owe it, however, to the millions who died 

and those who have been oppressed throughout

 the history of the United States. Bringing up 

America's troubled past is about justice and 

reconciliation for all, not about guilt or shame. 

Speaking truth to power does not qualify as 

"anti-American." It does not imply that a 

person lacks devotion, loyalty, or respect for 

their country.

True patriotism acknowledges our historical

 truths... it rights wrongs and works to prevent 

them from happening again.

God sees that we frequently choose paths that 

lead us away from living out the promise of

 "One nation under God, 

indivisible, with liberty and

 justice for all."

God absolutely loves us. God never disappoints, 

never deceives, and never shames us. God desires

 the best for us... something far more.

Is God looking out for our best

interests?

Jeremiah 29:11 says, 

Yes!

 "For I know the thoughts that 

I think toward you, says the LORD,

 thoughts of peace and not of evil, 

to give you a future and a hope." 

It is critical that we all think about what 

American patriotism represents to us. It 

should not simply accept our country in its 

entirety, with all of its man-made evil doings, 

bigotry, systemic flaws, impediments, racism, 

fractures, imperfections, shortcomings, pitfalls,

 injustices, and so on. It should imply being 

aware, identifying its flaws and shortcomings, 

while also recognizing our exceptional

 strengths, and working tirelessly to become a 

more perfect union.

It is critical to teach historical 

truths in a thoughtful, intelligent, 

and empathetic manner. This

 is a multi-cultural country, and

 the vast majority of us want to 

know the truth, but many have 

fallen victim to indoctrination.

It's amusing how other countries

 teach more about American 

history than the United States.🤔

It is absurd to label any educational institution

 as racist because it teaches historical truths

 about colonization, slavery, the Civil War, 

native American genocide, and the deep roots 

of racism throughout American history, among

 other things, while refusing to tell young people 

lies about US history and current events. 

That is deceitful and ungodly!

The truth may make some

students feel uneasy or sad, 

but it is the truth!

If we expect our youth to make meaningful 

contributions to society and not repeat the 

mistakes and cruelty of the past, we must teach

 them the truth.

Students have the right to understand and 

care about the experiences of those who are 

similar to and different from them.

They have earned the right to know the truth. 

It is their right to be educated and prepared

 to become active and engaged members of 

our society, with a full understanding of 

America's failures to live up to its ideals... 

and its successes!

Isn't it best to live the 

truth than a lie?

🤥

Some people avoid the truth like the plague.

To avoid and/or deny the existence and validity

 of uncomfortable truths, they devise irrational

 distractions, denials, malicious deflections, 

inhumanity, confusion, or outright lies.

God never lies.

Titus 1:2

God is the Source of truth. 

“It is impossible for God to lie.” 

Numbers 23:19

Jesus called Himself the Way, the Truth, 

and the Life.

John 14:6

He expects those who follow Him 

to be people of truth. 

The truth is to be expressed in love,

 Ephesians 4:15

 offering hope to those seeking redemption 

from the lies of the world.

The most authoritative way to destroy people 

is to twist, rename, alter, confuse, nullify, 

falsify, and destroy records; then rewrite their

 past by dissolving, weakening, undermining, 

rubbing out, and annihilating one's awareness

 of their history.

Why are we telling children 

stories that we know to be 

false? 

It is a disservice to this country's future 

to ignore the inhumane struggles, sacrifices, 

injustices, rivers of blood, and senseless,

 torturous lynchings and murders that have 

occurred throughout its history.

How can our youth build a better future 

if they lack accurate information and 

documentation about our country's past

 and present?

Dumbing down history not only harms our 

children, but it also undermines and burdens 

our societies. A sanitized version of history

 does not equip young people to be responsible

 and ethical critical thinkers.

Failure to teach the truth can 

stifle our children's growth 

and well-being.

Why would any godly parent want their 

child to be misled by a whitewashed, 

dumbed-down version of American or

world history?

We all have the 

right to know

the truth!

True, knowledge of history is empowering, 

but ignorance of history is disproportionately

unacceptable.

Historical truths inspire and motivate us to 

learn more and to value what we read.

It is critical to know and understand the 

connections between the past and the present

 at this time. It's fascinating to see how 

history links people, places, and situations

 over time.

History teaches us. Through observing and 

analyzing life's past events, we can discover 

warnings, practical advice, and direction, as 

well as gain greater clarity.

In order to understand who we are, we must 

gain a greater sense of self. History teaches us

 where and how we fit into the story of our 

country and the global community.

True history is a story of us.

True history is our story. It tells the story

 of who we are, where we came from, and,

 potentially, where we are going.

History tells us where our forefathers came 

from and who they were. Most importantly, 

it allows us to recognize (and appreciate) the

 legacies that we may have inherited from

 them.

The languages we speak were passed down

 from our forefathers. Our cultures, traditions, 

genetic make-up, and religions were all passed 

down from generation to generation.

History enables us to gain a better

understanding of the human condition. It tells 

us how our country, cities, and/or communities 

came to be.

“Those that do not learn 

history are doomed to 

repeat it.” 

George Santayana first said those words, 

and they are still very relevant today because 

they are so true.

History allows us to learn from our mistakes

 in the past. It helps us in comprehending

 the various reasons why people behave the

 way they do. As a result, it helps us in 

becoming more compassionate as individuals

 and more impartial as decision-makers.

Some people try to falsely accuse, antagonize, 

and/or destroy the lives of others by telling lies 

because the truth can destroy their lives.

Fear of the truth speaks volumes 

about the person who opposes it.

Some choose to deny reality, cling to illusions, 

or downsize the truth and categorize it into minor

 points of view.

Many people are so terrified of 

losing power that they will

 never accept the truth, no 

matter how compelling the 

evidence.

It's amazing how far people will go to oppose, 

disregard, and outright fight against addressing

 issues from the past that continue to plague 

our present and create a great divide and bleak

 future.

Many of the problems we face today... stem 

from problems in the past. We need to have

 honest dialogue if we are to have any real 

chance of making things right. 

We also know there is a very brutal, resistant

 body of people who benefit from the status quo

 and will sabotage any effort to make things right... 

unless enough people rise up, pull the plug, and

 drown out their voices and their devilish, smug, 

self-aggrandizing agendas.

Many people believe the idea that they are 

self-sufficient individuals rather than 

active participants in a generational 

web of lies.

"Pretending a dis-ease does not

 exist... will not cure it." 

Many spread harmful false narratives and 

continue to condemn and deny African Americans

 the possibility of rational thought, agency, 

and/or liberty. They would prefer that things 

remain as they are and that the current state 

of affairs remains untouched.

Some groups and/or individuals have taken 

extreme measures (usually for amusement or

 competitive advantage) to deliberately alienate, 

shut out, block, exclude, reject, and marginalize

 Africans and African Americans.

These racial slights are intended to make

 African Americans question their abilities and

 existence, to make them feel invisible, to make

 them feel systematically ignored and disregarded.

 These are psychological operations and mind 

games used by manipulators. These are 

attempts to undermine others' confidence 

and/or gain control over them.

Listen, toxic people become bent out of 

shape when they cannot control others 

because they are ignorantly bound to a false 

and extremely deceptive sense of identity.

Repeated racial slights can lead to 

psychological invisibility.

Some may resort to actively tearing down 

Africans and African Americans in order to

 control how others perceive them. They

 demonize, denigrate, and diminish 

African Americans by making vile, scornfully

 abusive remarks and accusations such as: 

"Blacks are the worst." 

That is vile and disgusting!

 Evil is the absence of good. 

Evil is what happens when

 man rejects good. 

These individuals are pure evil.

Some will even go so far as to spread the myth 

of the predatory Black man in order to justify 

their brutality and violence against Black 

people, communities, and continents.

Consider this: once upon a time, regardless of 

the show or network, White males were always... 

cast in positions of comfort and power. Little 

White children were shown a good white life. 

It instilled a sense of entitlement to authority... 

an expectation that Black people would be 

looked down upon. When Blacks were cast for 

roles, they were frequently cast as criminals, 

thugs, and/or buffoons.

Individuals who are insecure and weak make 

ridiculous assumptions and accusations. They

 create distance, are afraid of what they don't 

understand about African Americans, become 

suspicious of them, and seek reasons to despise 

them.

These are generational myths and accusations. 

These tricks are used to stymie communication

 and reconciliation while also ensuring injustice

 against Africans and African Americans.

Of Satan, Jesus says, "He has always been a 

murderer, and he cannot stand in the truth 

because there is no truth in him. When he lies,

 he speaks for himself, because he is a liar and

 the father of lies." " 

John 8:44

We must be aware of Satan's strategies in 

order to avoid falling prey to his deceptions 

or accepting the shame he wants others to bear.

When people allow themselves to become 

entangled in generational lies, self-centeredness,

 and ego-gratifying illusions, and then feel

 their self-esteem has been threatened, they

 do a grave disservice to both others and 

themselves. This has the potential to limit their

 intelligence and inner freedom.

All generational "isms," coddling, deception,

 worry, headaches, anxiety, and setbacks 

harm and/or injure the offender, and no one is 

healed as a result.

Everyone is made of flesh and prone to sinful 

behavior. The question we must ask ourselves is, 

"Would God be pleased with 

our forefathers' behavior and 

examples?"

We must not repeat the mistakes of our deceased,

 rabble-rousing, ungovernable, and devious 

forefathers. Some of their choices and 

decisions were heinously cruel, deplorable, 

completely inhumane, and ungodly.

We must reach higher and dig deeper with God's

 help in order to better ourselves and live 

righteously before God, our children, grandchildren, 

and future generations.

We should do better 

when we know better.💡

 God provides a ‘written memorial’ of the

 deceased in order to teach those living... 

regarding the wayward and lawless 

behavior of some of “Our fathers”.

“With many of "Our fathers"...

God was not well pleased”

 (1 Corinthians 10: 1, 5).

It should be beneath our dignity

 as humans to imitate the evil,

immature, egregious behavior 

of some of our forefathers.

When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality 

the worth of all mankind, it becomes difficult 

to hear nature's cry; everything is connected.

Everything about racism is a lie. 

It's a game passed down from generation to 

generation. It obscures many of the significant

 contributions made by Africans and 

African Americans to the world throughout history.

"Man’s inhumanity to man” 

is baseless and vile.

Absurd and twisted realities 

and thinking can become 

dominant threads in the fabric 

of creation, perpetuating racism...

which is suffocating to everyone.

Racism and prejudice can distort and disrupt

 people's thinking. People with fragile egos 

frequently make assumptions that essentially

 deny the freedom and dignity of members of

 the hated or despised race. Some people have

 a sense of deception and alternate reality.

They twist and arrange truth to keep their 

fragile egos... inflated.

Parents' harmful dysfunctions can be passed 

down from generation to generation, leaving 

some children weak, toxic, ignorant, and fragile.

Unfortunately, lying has become a common 

mode of communication for many people. 

When we whitewash or minimize aspects of 

history in order to protect our children, we

 are not providing them with all of the

 information they require to truly understand

 the oppressive systems that affect us all.

When we pass down generational supremacy 

and lies as truth to our children, we do them a 

disservice. The solution to lies is not more lies.

 Children, especially innocent children, are

 easily influenced and groomed to become the 

fruit of the white supremacy tree.

Some people have filled the voids and pain 

of separation from God and generational 

lies by committing a whole slew of sins served

 up on a platter of grossly offensive generational

 lies and unfair behavior.

Closer examination reveals that family traits, 

such as stereotyping, "isms," negativity, race 

myths, and other destructive behavior, are 

frequently passed down from parents to 

children. They are inextricably linked to one's 

family history... it is a genetic inheritance. 

For centuries, this cycle has been repeated.

Listen, just because an ancestor passed down 

their set of convictions does not automatically 

qualify their way... as the righteous way.

There could be a dysfunctional generational

 influence in our lives that we need to break!

When these sins become deeply ingrained in us, 

they can be difficult to overcome on our own.

It is critical in our lives to identify areas of 

generational influence. Customary, dysfunctional

 patterns can or will emerge when generational 

influences are at work in our lives.

A generational influence can cause us to repeat 

a sin that we saw modeled in our family. Other 

times, our sin will be something we do in reaction 

to sin in our family.

Those who came before us created historical 

distortions and/or ideologies, and they passed

these distortions and/or ideological influences

 on to subsequent generations.

Disgracefully, some have clung to delusory 

beliefs and claims that devalued the humanity 

of others and were entirely based on melanin... 

as if these belittling, unjust, repressive assertions 

were gospel truth.

Abraham was an obedient 

"Friend of God" 

(James 2:23).

 He abandoned the pagan sinful culture of his

 family line and chose to live a new and 

positively unwavering way of life. 

At God's request Abraham left that 

region and even his own family to 

follow the path God set for him. In 

doing so he became known as 

"The father of the faithful."

Because of Abraham's willingness to 

refrain from the sinful habits and practices of 

generations, God made specific promises 

to him about the future of his descendants. 

God told him, that He would make his descendants 

as the dust of the earth; greatly multiplying his 

offspring so that they would be too numerous to

 count.

(Genesis 13:16).

God further told Abraham, 

"I will bless those who bless you, and I will

 curse him who curses you; and in you all the

 families of the earth shall be blessed" 

(Genesis 12:3).

Almost 2,000 years later Jesus Christ, 

a direct descendant of Abraham, 

would be born to make good for all sin 

and offer eternal life to all mankind. 

The entire world came to be blessed, 

through Abraham, because of his willingness 

to break with the patterns of past generations 

and embark on a new way of life revealed

 by God.

John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the 

truth shall make you free. 

That's a wonderful promise that can be taken

 seriously. 

The definition of truth in "Harper's Bible Dictionary" 

includes the statement... 

"God is truth." 

We must be sincere and persistent in our pursuit

 of truth. God will reveal it to us, and the truth will

help us see life more clearly.

We need to broaden the 

African and African American 

narratives. 

There is no doubt that the slave trade had a

 significant impact in many parts of Africa;

however, viewing African history as the history 

of slavery and the slave trade is an inaccurate

 account.

The West focuses solely on

slavery, but Africa's history 

is far more than a footnote 

to European  imperialism.

Slavery is just one chapter in a long history of 

inventions, events, complex systems of 

participatory government, and powerful states 

that spanned vast territories with extensive 

regional and international connections. Art, 

learning, and technology flourished, and Africans 

excelled in medicine, mathematics, and astronomy. 

They made fine luxury items in bronze, ivory, 

gold, and terracotta for both local use and trade, 

in addition to domestic goods.

West Africa was home to 

numerous ancient cultures and

 over 800 languages. Before 

European slave traders arrived, 

West Africa had a rich and 

diverse history and culture.

Africans had a variety of 

political structures, including

 kingdoms and city-states.

We learned a lot about slavery from the 

International Museum of Slavery." "For centuries,

 Africans traded with Europeans via merchants 

in North Africa. In the 15th century, the

 Portuguese were the first traders to sail down 

the West African coast. The Dutch, British,

 French, and Scandinavians soon followed. 

They were interested in valuable items such as

 gold, ivory, spices, and especially pepper.

From their first encounter, European traders 

kidnapped and transported Africans to be sold

 in Europe.

Transatlantic slaving did not become the 

dominant trade until the 17th century, when 

plantation owners wanted more slaves to meet 

Europe's increasing demand for sugar." "

The expansion of the transatlantic slave trade

 disrupted West and Central African societies 

and extracted an incalculable human toll 

over the centuries.

Europeans first made contact with African 

societies centuries ago, and they had long

 maintained trading posts along the continent's 

coasts. As European colonies in the Americas 

grew, their governments looked to Africa for 

cheap labor to power their expanding farms,

mines, and plantations.

The White House Was, in Fact, Built by 

Enslaved Labor Along with the Capitol and

 other iconic buildings in Washington, D.C.

Satan and his demons are fully out, and they have increased 

their activities. They are determined to turn as many humans, 

as possible, away from doing the will of God.

Biases impairs rational judgment and becomes

a major obstacle in decision-making. Bias is the

 tendency to search for, interpret, deviate, and recall 

information in a way that confirms or supports 

one's prior beliefs or values. Biases can lead to 

poor decisions and accumulated corruptions.

Some people believe that their beliefs, biased 

accounts in historical descriptions, interpretations, 

explanations, and their colonial way of thinking is 

right and the only way to go; although, they have 

been profoundly and appallingly proven wrong.

Despite there being overwhelmingly credible 

evidence to debunk stereotypes and tackle 

systemic injustices... the biases of the status quo

shuts out anything, with the exception of what 

they want to acknowledge. Some would rather

keep blinders on, choosing to see only the events, 

people, and situations any other way than the

 way they are. 

Pyramids of Giza - Ancient Egypt

In ancient times they were included among the Seven Wonders of the World.

All three pyramids were plundered both internally and externally in ancient and medieval times. Thus, the grave goods originally deposited in the burial chambers are missing, and the pyramids no longer reach their original heights because they have been almost entirely stripped of their outer casings of smooth white limestone; the Great Pyramid, for example, is now only 451.4 feet (138 metres) high. That of Khafre retains the outer limestone casing only at its topmost portion. Constructed near each pyramid was a mortuary temple, which was linked via a sloping causeway to a valley temple on the edge of the Nile floodplain. Also nearby were subsidiary pyramids used for the burials of other members of the royal family.

The history of Egypt has been long and wealthy, 

due to the flow of the Nile River with its fertile 

banks and delta, as well as the accomplishments

of Egypt 's native inhabitants and outside influence. 

Much of Egypt's ancient history was a mystery

 until Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered with 

the discovery and help of the Rosetta Stone.

• 1st Intermediate Period: 2181-2055 BC

• Middle Kingdom: 2055-1650 BC

As per Encyclopedia Britannica, Egypt, country located in the northeastern corner of Africa. Egypt’s heartland, the Nile River valley and delta, was the home of one of the principal civilizations of the ancient Middle East and, like Mesopotamia farther east, was the site of one of the world’s earliest urban and literate societies. Pharaonic Egypt thrived for some 3,000 years through a series of native dynasties that were interspersed with brief periods of foreign rule. After Alexander the Great conquered the region in 323 BCE, urban Egypt became an integral part of the Hellenistic world. Under the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty, an advanced literate society thrived in the city of Alexandria, but what is now Egypt was conquered by the Romans in 30 BCE. It remained part of the Roman Republic and Empire and then part of Rome’s successor state, the Byzantine Empire, until its conquest by Arab Muslim armies in 639–642 CE.

During a time period in history known as the 

4th dynasty of the Pharaohs, in Egypt, nearly

 5000 years ago, an incredible feat characterized 

by ingenious design, resourceful technique, and

 the labor of tens of thousands of men was 

developed... accomplished... established. 

These men contributed with their bare hands

 in creating massive tombs which were as tall

 as a 40 story building. They did this for their 

Pharaohs. This was the most ambitious and 

spectacular undertaking ever attempted by 

mankind.

Today’s civilizations owe an immense debt 

to the powerful empires and mighty cities of

 antiquity. Their inventions, techniques and

 concepts enabled the advancement of 

humankind and laid the foundation for life

in the modern world.

There are some who use psychological and 

emotional manipulations to impose their will.

They purposely create an imbalance in terms 

of power, rights, control, and responsibility. 

Some have purposely hidden the truth from 

the masses and will not accept it for themselves. 

They don't question themselves; yet, will blame

 others for their misdeeds, especially when the

 person they have oppressed and created all 

sorts of roadblocks for, despite the setbacks, were

 blessed to tap into their God-given

abilities and talents, come from

behind, push upward, despite

feeling overwhelmed,  

accomplishing what God had already 

ordained, written, and brought them

 into this world to do. 

They rise!

Whenever we open the door to any twisting or

misrepresentation of truth, it is fairly easy to 

continue down the road of deliberate deception. 

Some people have lied so much... they lose sight 

of the truth and start believing their own lies.

Their deliberate lies and deceptions have 

caused untold damage, and the human cost

 has been devastating.

Systemic white oppression is one of the most 

insidious, resilient, and adaptive social forces

 in all of human history. It is a diabolical force 

that reinvents itself, generation after generation. 

Each subsequent recurrence emerges more subtle, 

vast, and undetectable. It is barely perceptible.

Oppressors, although they are bankrupt of valid

arguments, fear and hate free speech and free 

African Americans. They have always tried to 

silence any people or speech that threatened

 their power. 

They become uncomfortable exchanging error 

for truth. For many, deceit holds the key to 

money, prominence, vindictiveness, and/or power. 

In history, this has often resulted in unspeakable

 cruelty, suffering, disingenuousness, forgeries, 

shams, and in some cases... millions of deaths.

Satan is well aware of the fact that time is 

running out on him. He is not only deadly,

 but often well camouflaged. 

Let us dare not be ignorant of Satan's 

schemes and strategies. His plan of attack 

is aimed at the mind. He wants to keep our

 lifespans short and our minds weak, 

re-educated, and controlled while pretending

 to do the opposite. 

God's Word has a lot to say about 

the mind, which serves to further underline

its crucial role. Our approach must be one

 of soberness, for the issues at hand are life

 and death, heaven and hell.

For those who choose to maintain the status quo, 

change is perceived by them as a loss or detriment.

 It can be a scary thing, and it makes them resistant 

and uncomfortable, which is why many tend to 

prefer things simply stay the way they are.

Many are generationally taught to not acknowledge, 

respect or appreciate the valuable contributions

made by African Americans. Many are taught

 not to respect or appreciate the diversity in the

African American experience. Ultimately, this 

can result in insensitivity, distrust, and a disdain

 for treating other people, particularly

African Americans and other people of

 color, as they should be treated.

It would be a very sad commentary

 if we found that discrimination and 

racial inequality has actually been 

built into our country’s laws and

institutions.

As a first step in exterminating and/or 

eliminating a people... the evil one erases 

their memory, wipes out their books, their

 culture, their history, and then have revisionists

 gloss over past events, grossly impacting 

the sacrificial person's life... creating a series 

of events that were not so. It is a case of he 

who has the pen and the press creates... 

his-story.

Truth is likened to a two edged

 sword... it will either cut one 

down or cut one free. 

History helps us all develop a better 

understanding of the world. Through history, 

we can learn how past societies, ideologies, 

systems, and cultures were constructed. 

History can equip us with the necessary tools to 

analyze and explain problems of the past and 

patterns that may have infested our present. 

It is important to know about and learn from 

the mistakes... the good, bad, and ugly of our

nation's past. Otherwise, those who are in a 

position of power can broadcast and program 

the masses with one-sided, distorted narratives 

about our nation's past. Some have even 

stooped to extinguish any source of 

enlightenment by ridicule or death.

There has been gross inaccuracies and 

mischaracterizations regarding Africans,

slavery and people of color, in general. These

 mischaracterizations of historical events 

continue to haunt our present and threaten 

our future.

If our great nation understood the notable moments, 

contributions, struggles, bloodshed, and sacrifices 

of life made for our great nation by Africans and

 African Americans... it could very well weaken, 

threaten and/or sabotage some people’s mindset

 and/or suggestions of black inferiority. 

It would behoove us all to cultivate an honest 

representation of the past and learn to treat all

 people with respect and understanding.

People tend to learn more about a nation by 

looking at and carefully examining what a 

nation chooses to forget. 

Loving our country means 

teaching historical truths about 

its past. The more enlightened 

we are about our past, 

the better prepared we are 

for the future. 

History is not taught to make one love or hate

 our great nation... it is taught to help us all  

become more enlightened. It helps us all better 

understand our country, our history, our origin 

and culture.

Unfortunately, history is

overflowing with

 inaccuracies and omissions.

History is a lamentable error! 

Throughout history, forgeries, perjuries,

 and intentional deceptiveness abound and 

a myriad of errors have grossly littered the 

ancient past. Much of what has been 

passed on as "History" are nothing short 

of egregious ancient myths. 

Many historical lies are told by commission, 

which is making things up that are not true. 

Some of it is made by omission, which is 

leaving out information or details, not telling 

the full story. And some of it by assent, which 

is... remaining silent when not in agreement. 

Much of history that was taught in school was 

riddled with blatant generational lies. It has 

been exaggerated and filled with obvious false

 statements written and published by others who 

knew they were telling lies and twisting the truth.

Some of the most powerful forces that shaped

history were dressed-up lies people made up

about events that never happened with the

 intention to deceive and lead others to accept

 those lies as truth.

Many are so stuck on historical lies... they

 cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that

 which is inaccurate or true. That, in and of 

itself, is alarming and cultish. These distorted 

interpretations, perceptions and ideological 

influences presents insidious historical lies and 

sensational claims about America's past. 

These disingenuous accounts have threatened

 democracy and undermined reality.

Furthermore, these lies, omissions, and 

misrepresentations only compound the 

problems we face, today. These lies and

distortions about our racist legacy have laid the

 deceptive groundwork for imminent catastrophes, 

i.e., racial indifferences, injustices, systemic 

oppression, redlining neighborhoods, inequalities, 

police profiling, police brutality, mass incarceration

 and many other expressions of hostility and/or 

discriminatory practices.

These historical distortions and/or ideologies 

were created by those who came before us. 

They passed these distortions and/or ideological 

influences on to generations who followed them. 

This is a phenomenon called the illusion
