Positively Good Productions

God is in control and God has

providential power and appointed 

times. Our past, present, and future 

takes place under God's Divine

 Providence!

Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us:

All of history and the way we view 

history is important. 

Some are inclined to think that 

former days are gone, forever.

 Ecclesiastes 3 shows that this

 concept is not necessarily true. 

It is evident that God allows the 

past to revisit us, for His purposes

 and our good. God makes positive

 use of history repeating itself for

mankind's betterment. 

The past helps us remember 

who we are and Whose we are!

It is through history that we can

recall man's past calamities... and

take notice of God's unmerited

favor and grace. 

History has shaped us. When we

look over our shoulders... we are 

humbled and thankful to see what 

God has delivered us through and 

what God has delivered us from. 

As we journey through life... a 

historical perspective allows us to 

make sense of today's world, and 

do all we can today to improve 

our tomorrows.

History compels us to look back. 

When we look back and examine 

our past and see how far we 

have come... it compels us to 

look at both darkness and light. 

We can embrace the light, but 

we don't ignore the darkness. 

Both can motivate us to keep 

moving forward... giving us the

 resolve to tackle the obstacle(s)

 we may be up against, right now, 

or take a different approach.  

The best foreseer of future 

actions would be... past actions. 

One of the best ways to gain

 perspective is to examine our past.

 Some may believe the past is best 

left behind, but we believe taking a

 look back can be incredibly useful

 when we purposefully learn, grow 

and gain insightful wisdom from our

past experiences, then move forward. 

Past actions are great guides 

for anticipating how someone

 might conduct themselves 

in a situation and/or with a

problem.

The past helps us see the bigger

 picture. Our past motivates us to 

look forward. It can be great fuel 

to prepare us for our future. 

History is not just about man... 

history is about knowing

God, reckoning with God

 and keeping our minds 

fixed on God, the Source

from which our highest 

good flows. 

In all of history, God is 

the ultimate possible good 

for us. A good which has

 no rivals or superiors. 

God is our Instructor,

 our Guidance, the 

explanation for... God is our 

clarity, the meaning of

 everything. 

Scripture is full of history!

We must not lose track of... 

or disregard our history.

God bids an account of mankind's 

past, and God will bring every deed 

into judgment. 

(Ecclesiastes 12:14)

A noticeable theme in Ecclesiastes is... 

judgment and justice.

God's Will is justice and justice will prevail. 

History repeats itself, and one who does not 

learn from the past... will pay the price in the

 future. 

The day of reckoning will not end 

in political arenas or the boardroom... 

it ends at the throne of 

God.

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

unrighteous circumstances will never

 be able to subvert this fact.

All of mankind is flesh and inclined to deviant

behavior. By the grace of God, God seeks to 

help those of us who have muddled our past. 

By His grace and mercy... God seeks to 

recover and restore what seems, from our point

 of view, 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 lasting implications.

What is happening right now... has already 

happened in the past, and what will happen in 

the future... our lifetime will shed light... or dim

 the light that will drive future generations.

In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon is essentially saying, 

History is made up of three parts:

the past, present, and future. We are

 surrounded by history, the present 

moment, and future possibilities.

 They are all linked together...

all are interconnected.

While not all of our history is good, 

it is true... it happened.

It is the truth which will free us

and guide us forward.

If most of us, in my era, would think back to our 

school days, we would probably remember history

as being unrelatable and difficult to connect with. 

How can we learn from the past

 if we select and filter, omit, and/or 

erase history?

can teach us important lessons.

We all deserve to know the whole

 truth and nothing but the truth of 

our existence.

How can we expect to build 

a better future without 

acknowledging injustices and 

being honest about our past? 

To erase everything that is related to the 

dishonorable parts of our history does not 

mean that those events never happened. In fact, 

it does more harm than good.

To expunge or rewrite history 

filling it with misleading opinions, 

alternative facts, or manipulated  

events (according to the choosing 

of a few) is a mistake which can 

lead to a very dangerous path. 

Erasing or attempting to sanitize 

the facts about the negative and ugly 

parts of history does not make it go 

away or mean it never happened. 

To not share the good, bad, and 

ugly truths about history means... 

no one can learn or grow from the 

mistakes or the accomplishments 

from the past.

To fear the truth being taught 

speaks volumes about the 

person in fear. 

If history offends people, this

 may be the necessary motivation 

to keep us from repeating 

historical mis-steps 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 for a few to 

censor, destroy, or erase. 

History is history... it was not 

always pretty or kind, but

it happened, and it belongs 

to all of us!

When we love our country or someone... we should 

be able to honestly express our anguish, and point 

out where one or the other may be falling short. 

This does not imply that one is unpatriotic or does 

not love. It is an indication that one is awake,

concerned, and has one's best interest at heart. 

It means holding our country accountable to the 

ideals that it proclaims. It means we strive to live

 out the stated ideals of the United States Declaration

 of Independence: that we each have unalienable

 rights given to all humans by our Creator, and 

among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of

Happiness", which governments are created to 

protect.

American history is not pretty. However, we owe

 it to the millions who lost their lives and those 

who were oppressed for the entirety of U.S. 

history. To bring up America’s troubled past 

is not about guilt or shame, it is about justice 

and reconciliation for all. To speak truth to 

power does not make one  “Anti-American.” 

It does not mean that a person does not feel

 devotion, loyalty and respect for their country. 

True patriotism acknowledges our historical 

truths... it rights wrongs, and works to not 

repeat it.

God recognizes that we often choose paths 

that lead us away from living out the promise

 of "One nation under God, indivisible, with 

liberty and justice for all."

God loves us. God never disappoints, never 

deludes or shames us. God wants the best for 

us... something better.

Does God have our best interests at heart? 

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 important that we all truly consider 

what American patriotism means to us. It 

should not simply be accepting our country in 

its entirety, i.e., man-made evil doings, bigotry, 

systemic faults, obstructions, racism, fractures,

 imperfections, shortcomings, pitfalls, injustices 

and all. It should mean being aware, identifying 

its infirmities and downsides, while recognizing

our exceptional strengths, and with great 

enthusiasm... working to be a more perfect union.

It is absurd to call any educational institution racist 

because they are teaching the historical truths of

 colonization, slavery, the civil war, native American

 genocide, and the deep roots of racism throughout

 American history, etc., and refusing to breathe out 

lies to young people about U.S. history and current

 events. That is dishonest and ungodly! 

Truth may make some students 

feel uncomfortable or sad, 

but... it is the truth! 

Our youth need to be taught 

the truth if we expect them to

 make meaningful contributions

 to society and not repeat the errors

 and cruelty of the past. 

Students deserve to understand 

and care about the experiences 

of those like and unlike them. 

They deserve to learn the truth. 

They need 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... 

it is their right!

Is it not better to live the truth 

than a lie?

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), and 

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? 

Students deserve to learn 

the truth!

It’s true that knowing history is empowering, 

but not knowing history is disproportionately 

unacceptable. 

learning more and to respect what we are reading.

To understand who we are, we need to develop a

sense of self. History gives us the opportunity

 to learn where and how we fit in the story of our 

country and the global community. 

True history is a story of us. It is a story of 

who we are, where we came from, and it can, 

potentially, reveal where we are headed.

History helps us develop a better understanding

 of the condition of mankind. It tells us the 

story of how our nation, cities, and/or communities 

came to be. 

“Those that do not learn 

history are doomed to 

repeat it.” 

Those words were first spoken by 

George Santayana, and they are still very 

relevant today because of how true they are.

History gives us the opportunity to learn 

from past mistakes. It helps us understand

the many reasons why people may behave the 

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

more compassionate as people and more 

impartial as decision makers.

Some people try to falsely accuse,

  antagonize and/or destroy the 

lives of others with lies because

 their lives can be destroyed with 

the truth.

To fear the truth being taught

 speaks volumes about the person 

who opposes it.

Many people are so afraid of losing their power

 that they will never cease rejecting the truth, no

 matter how compelling the evidence.

It is amazing to see just how far people

 will go to oppose, disregard, and downright 

fight against addressing issues of the 

past that still plague our present and creates 

a great divide and grim fate for our future. 

Many of the issues we are faced with today... 

stem from problems of the past. We need 

actual, honest dialogue if we are ever going 

to have any degree of optimism of mending

it, but 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 and drown out 

their voices and their

devilish, smug, 

self-aggrandizing agendas. 

There are some who are hell bent on reshaping 

and silencing the truth about our country's 

history of racial injustice. Instead, they pretend 

that others are bad and evil so they won't feel 

guilty about the inhumane things they have 

purposely overlooked, ignored, done and/or

accepted. 

Many embrace the idea that they are 

self-sufficient individuals rather than 

active participants in a generational 

web of lies.

"Pretending a dis-ease doesn't

 exist... will not cure it." 

Many spew false narratives that are harmful 

and continue to castigate and deny 

African Americans the possibility of rational 

thought, agency, and/or liberty. They prefer

things stay as they are and the current

 state of affairs remains the same. 

Some groups and/or individuals have taken 

extreme actions (for psychological effect on 

another, typically for amusement or competitive

advantage) deliberately alienating, shutting out, 

blocking, excluding, rejecting, and marginalizing

Africans and African Americans.

These racial slights are done in an attempt to 

make African Americans question their abilities, 

their existence, feel invisible, feel systematically 

ignored and disregarded. These are psychological

operations and mind games that manipulative 

people play. These are attempts to make others feel 

less confident and/or to gain control over people.

Listen, when toxic people, are ignorantly 

bound to a false and extremely deceptive 

sense of identity, they become bent out 

of shape when they cannot control others.

Encountering repeated racial slights can 

create psychological invisibility. 

Some may resort to trying to control how 

others see Africans and African Americans 

by actively tearing them down and instilling 

fear in others. They demonize, denigrate, 

and diminish African Americans with vile,

scornfully abusive remarks and accusations 

like: "Blacks are not equipped to run things,

 they are lazy, thugs, the enemy, they must

be fought or avoided."

That is evil!

 Evil is the absence of good. 

Evil is what happens when

 man rejects good.

Some will even stoop as low as propagating the 

myth of the predatory Black man to justify their 

brutality and violence against Black individuals, 

communities, and continents. 

Think about it, at one time, regardless of the 

program or the network, White males were 

always... cast in positions of comfort and 

power. This good white life was projected to 

little White children. It instilled a since of 

entitlement to authority... an expectation of 

looking down on Black people. Typically, 

when Blacks were cast for roles... they were 

often cast as criminals, shown as thugs, and/or 

buffoons.

Insecure and weak individuals make ridiculous 

assumptions and accusations. They create distance,

fear what they do not understand about 

African Americans, become suspicious of them, 

and look for reasons to abhor them. 

These are generational misconceptions and

accusations. These manipulations are used

to make communication and reconciliation

difficult as well as insuring injustice against

 Africans and African Americans.

Jesus says of Satan, "He was a murderer from the

beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because

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

out of his own character, for he is a liar and the 

father of lies" (John 8:44). 

We need to be wise to Satan's tactics so we 

will not succumb to his deceptions or accept 

the shame he wants others to bear the weight of.

Some people are irrational and have fragile

 egos. They struggle to accept when they

 have been exposed and called out for their 

wrong-doing. Instead of owning it and taking 

the blame, they act as if they have the right

 to do or have what they want. 

They have a hard time believing they are not 

perfect or worthy... so they get annoyed and 

lash out... looking for reasons to shift the 

blame and hurl insults. They gaslight others 

for what they themselves did. These are the 

entitled ones who believe the world revolves 

around them, and they cannot do anything 

wrong.

When people allow themselves to get caught up

in generational lies, self-centeredness, and

ego-gratifying illusions and then feel their

self-regard has been threatened, they do 

others and themselves a grave disservice. This 

could limit their intelligence and inner freedom.

All of the generational "isms", coddling,

deceitfulness, worry, headaches, anxiety and

setbacks harms and/or injures the offender,

and no one is healed from that.

All mankind is flesh and are inclined to sinful

behavior. The question we must ask ourselves is: 

Would God be well pleased with the behavior 

and examples of our forefathers?

We must not do as our deceased, rabble-rousing, 

ungovernable, and devious forefathers have 

done. Some of the choices and decisions they

 made were diabolically cruel, deplorable, 

 totally inhumane and ungodly. 

With God's help, we must reach higher 

and dig deeper so that we can better 

ourselves and live righteously before God,  

our children, grands, and generations to 

come.

When we know better... 

we should do better.

 1 Corinthians 10 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 human beings,  

to imitate the evil, immature, egregious conduct

passed on by some of our ancestors.

When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality 

the worth of all mankind, it becomes difficult 

to hear the cry of nature itself;

everything is, connected.

"Man’s inhumanity to man” 

is baseless and vile.

Absurd and twisted realities and thinking 

can become dominant threads in the fabric of

creation which can lead to the perpetuation of 

racism... 

which suffocates everyone. 

Harmful dysfunctions of parents can be 

passed down from generation to generation

making some weak, toxic, ignorant and fragile.

Lying, sad to say, has become a standard way 

to communicate for many people. When we 

whitewash or diminish aspects of history

as a means of protecting our children, we're

 not providing them with all the information 

they need to truly understand the systems of 

oppression that affect us all. 

We do our children a disservice when we pass 

on generational supremacy and lies as truth. The

 answer to lies is not more lies. The children, the 

innocent children, can easily be influenced and 

groomed to become the fruit from the tree of 

white supremacy.

Some people have been filling voids and pain 

of separation from God and generational lies

with a multiplicity of sins served up on a platter 

of grossly offensive generational lies and unfair 

behavior.

On closer examination, we find that family

 traits, i.e., stereotyping, "isms", negativity, 

myths about race, and other destructive 

behavior is often passed down from parents 

to children. They are closely linked with 

one's family background.... it is a genetic 

inheritance. This cycle has been repeated

 for centuries.

their set of convictions does not make them right...

it does not instantly qualify their way... as the

 righteous way.

There may, indeed, be a 

dysfunctional generational

influence in our lives that 

needs to be broken!

 Identifying areas of generational influence 

is critical in our lives. When generational 

influences are at work in our lives, customary,

dysfunctional patterns can or will emerge. 

 Sometimes, a generational influence will 

cause us to repeat the sin we saw modeled

 in our family. Other times, our sin will be 

something committed in response to the sin

 in our family. 

Historical distortions and/or ideologies were

 created by those who came before us and they 

passed these distortions and/or ideological 

influences on to generations following them. 

Disgracefully, some have latched on to these 

delusional beliefs and claims which devalued 

the humanness in others, based totally on 

melanin... as if these belittling, unjust, 

repressive assertions were the 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 earnest and steadfast in pursuing truth. 

God will reveal it to us, and the truth will give us 

a better perspective on life.

We must expand the 

African and 

African American 

narrative. 

There is no question that the slave trade exerted

 a profound influence in many parts of Africa; 

however, to look at African history as the history

 of slavery and the slave trade is an inaccurate

 account. 

The West focuses only on slavery, but the 

history of Africa is so much more than a

 footnote to European imperialism. 

of inventions, events, complex systems of 

participatory government, powerful states, that 

covered large territories with extensive regional 

and international links. Art, learning and 

technology soared, and Africans were 

exceptionally skilled with medicine,

 mathematics, and astronomy. In addition to 

domestic goods, they made fine luxury items

 in bronze, ivory, gold, and terracotta for both 

local use and trade.

West Africa had many ancient cultures and over 800 

languages. West Africa had many rich and diverse

 histories and cultures centuries before European 

slave traders arrived. 

Africans had a wide range of political 

arrangements including kingdoms and 

city-states.

According to material, we gleaned, in large part,  

from the International Museum of Slavery, 

"West Africans traded with Europeans through

merchants in North Africa for centuries. The first 

traders to sail down the West African coast 

were the Portuguese in the 15th century. The Dutch, 

British, French and Scandinavians followed. They

 were interested in precious items such as gold, 

ivory, spices, and especially pepper.

From their first interaction, 

European traders kidnapped

 and bought Africans to be 

sold in Europe.

It was not until the 17th century, when

 plantation owners wanted more slaves to satisfy 

the increasing demand for sugar in Europe, that

 transatlantic slaving became the dominant trade." 

The expansion of the transatlantic slave trade 

disrupted in West and Central African societies,

and over the centuries extracted an immeasurable

 human toll. 

Europeans first made contact with African 

societies centuries before, and had long 

maintained trading posts on the continent's

 coasts. As European colonies in the Americas 

expanded, their governments increasingly

 looked to Africa as a source of cheap labor 

to power their growing farms, mines, and 

plantations.

Racism and biases can distort and disrupt how 

people think. Many times people who have very

 fragile egos make assumptions and essentially 

deny the freedom and dignity of members of 

the hated or disdained race. Some live with a 

sense of vain deceit and alternative reality. 

They interpret and arrange truth so that it 

can keep their fragile egos... inflated.

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.
