Yes, You're a Racist -- And a Traitor | John E. Price

Yes, You're a Racist -- And a Traitor | John E. Price: The troglodyte that killed those people in South Carolina wanted to fire the opening shots in a new race war. He is a Confederate in every sense of the word. He is a white supremacist. He is a terrorist. He is a traitor.

trog·lo·dyte

[trog-luh-dahyt]

    NOUN

1.

a prehistoric cave dweller.

2.

a person of degraded, primitive, or brutal character.

3.

a person living in seclusion.

4.

a person unacquainted with affairs of the world.

5.

an animal living underground.

The worst part is that he is not some aberration. Oh, we want to comfort and assure ourselves that he is, that he has some mental issue, or that he's evil, or some other easy excuse that absolves us all of responsibility.

His actions were heinous, but he is the product of a media environment and culture that protects the ignorant and glorifies division. This is the "heritage" celebrated by those who fly the Confederate flag. By those like my neighbor.

And what about my neighbor? In a perfect world, I would ring his doorbell and have a reasonable discussion with him about how what he's doing is offensive and ahistoric and I'd love to correct his understanding of the entire mess. But the sad fact is, he's not alone, either.

In my time here I've seen scores of Confederate bumper stickers, license plates, and even other flags. Neo-Confederate revisionism is everywhere. It's not confined to "dumb rednecks" or red-state voters or Nascar fans or any other easy stereotype we use to deceive ourselves and dismiss painful realities. It's not even confined to older generations. The killer in South Carolina is 21. He's a Millennial. He's one of us.

And every day that we don't react to that information, every day we don't internalize this conflict, every day we tell ourselves nothing is wrong, every day we claim we can't be racist because we have black friends, every day we share some viral cat video instead of watch the news, every day we don't knock on our neighbor's door... is another day nothing will change.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE JESUS WAS NOT CLAIMING TO BE GOD.

INSTEAD...

CLAIMING TO BE THE SUM OF HIS PARENTS IN HIS FATHER'S ABSENCE;

THE ETERNAL FATHER BEING THE WISDOM OF JOSEPH 

THAT JOSEPH A SIMPLE HARD WORKING MAN ONLY SOMEONE,  OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, WILLINGLY ACCEPTING THE ROLE OF BEING PARENTAL FATHER TO BOTH JESUS AND HIS MOTHER MARY; AN UNFORTUNATE TEENAGE PREGNANCY.  

THIS WISDOM FROM AN OLD MAN, JOSEPH, ABEL PASSING ONTO A CHILD BEFORE THE FATES OF BOTH JESUS AND HIS MOTHER MARY TOSSED TO THE WINDS; AGAIN ON THEIR OWN. 

JOSEPH...

 BEING THE ONE WHOM JESUS IS CREDITING AS THE ONE MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHAPING OF HIS MORAL CHARACTER;  WHOMEVER IT WAS BEING JESUS TRUE FATHER, THE ONE PROVIDING THE "Y" CHROMOSOME HAVING MADE HIM MALE,  NOT IMPORTANT.

ONCE...

 HAVING THIS VIEW OF JOSEPH, THIS NOW LEAVES JESUS ABEL BECOMING 

THE 

SON OF THE LIVING GOD...

HIS MOTHER MARY.

Matthew 16:13-20

New International Version 

(NIV)

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
