In Deuteronomy 6, Moses instructed the children of Israel to love and honor God. Like the children of Israel whom were enslaved by King Pharaoh, African Americans whom were enslaved by white supremacists were also expected to love, honor and serve God. God delivered our ancestors from slavery. God would have never set African slaves free and gave us equality in America, if He was not expecting for us to follow his commandments in Deuteronomy 6. He told us we would possess the land, if we completely follow His commandments. Although African Americans may have overcame many obstacles in America, many yet struggle as oppressed people and never possessed land they may feel that is owed to them. Many have ignored God's commandments and served the evil ways of other tribes. They have served other idols and gods and followed the traditions of other tribes. Many African Americans have been rebellious and refused to love, honor and be obedient to God's Word. Possibly, this is why we yet face racial profiling from all other races, not just white supremacists like in the case of Zimmerman vs. Trayvon Martin. Furthermore, Tyler Perry and many other rich and famous African Americans can never avoid racial discrimination, because he along with others are yet descendents of former slaves in America whom faced severe desegregation, before they received freedom. Therefore, God is yet expecting what he requested in Deuteronomy 6.
Tyler Perry admits African Americans are yet being racially profiled and even shared his own experiences on his website, in the midst of many whom are rallying for justice in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. However, we ask you, where are all of the African Americans speaking out for black people to completely submit their souls to God and to love, honor Him and obey His commandments? Where are all of the African Americans speaking out against their own race whom have refused to love and respect themselves and each other? It seems like every blue moon when a racial discrimination case hits the press, nationally, then African Americans want to unite to rally, but they yet hate themselves and each other. They continue to live their lives being very unfair to God, but expect fair treatment within society when it comes to being who they are as African Americans.
Yes, like thousands of other cases, it is very sad how Trayvon Martin died in the hands of an alleged racist Latino, but it is also very sad in the 21st century how many African Americans refuse to follow God's decrees, which was given to Moses in Deuteronomy 6 while yet rallying against racial discrimination.
This is a cycle that is nothing but a repeated history that may never cease unless we not only see repentance among all African Americans, including those whom are among the celebrity elite. Let these celebrities began to speak out on what is absolutely right such as holiness and righteousness, loving themselves and each other, then maybe we will see a complete turn around in this country or else racial profiling will never cease.
Tyler Perry: 'We are still being racially profiled'
By Alan Duke, CNN
(CNN) -- Racial profiling "should be a hate crime investigated by the FBI," filmmaker Tyler Perry wrote in a Facebook posting Sunday in which he described his own tense encounter with police."It was so hostile," Perry, who is African-American, wrote. "I was so confused. It was happening so fast that I could easily see how this situation could get out of hand very quickly. I didn't feel safe at all."
Perry, one of America's most successful film and television producers, said "although we have made significant strides with racial profiling in this country, the world needs to know that we are still being racially profiled."
His posting, which has drawn more than 101,000 "likes" and 18,426 comments, told what happened when two white police officers stopped him while driving from his...Read full article, here.
