I read as much of his diatribe to the State Assembly as I could stomach.
A few thoughts:
There was only a faction of the white people in early America who favored
slavery, mostly in the South. On the other hand, the slaves that arrived
here came because OTHER BLACKS sold them into slavery. As much as we must
blame ourselves for our half of the transaction, the blacks must also take
responsibility for the fact that they would not have been available for
sale, had their own people not been greedy.
It was WHITES who put an end to slavery, because they were the ones with
the power and the voice to do so. I think it is long past time that those
who stuck their necks out and got called bad names to right a wrong that
they had not made and that did not directly affect them got the credit
they deserve for what they did in this regard.
Mr. White is fixated on money as being the root of all society's
problems. He's wrong; the root of the problem is, more than any other
factor, the breakdown of the American family. That breakdown is more
prevalent and further advanced in the black community than it is in the
white community. If he really wants to help his people, THAT is what he
ought to concentrate on: a cultural epiphany regarding the importance of
FAMILY -- WHOLE families.
According to Christian theology, homosexuality is NOT 'the worst sin
there is.' Not even close. As the story goes, even one sin, no matter
how small, keeps you from God's pleasure. And, the only UNforgivable sin
is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. So, as much as Messeur White may
fancy himself to be a preacher, he really hasn't got a very good grasp
of his Systems Manual.
Maybe I can muster the stomach to read the rest of his diatribe
later. I've saved it so I can. We'll see.
