Told in sermon and psalm, preached by men with pointed fingers placed precisely on particular pages, the white folk, received revelations that God Almighty, had created the Negro Race not as an equal to the Caucasian, but as an inferior branch in the cycle of life, and SLAVERY, was not the Devil’s delight, but the demand from the Lord. The land in the South was ripe to profit from its hot days and humid nights. The land was provided to these Settlers by Jesus and His Father, and be it cotton, or tobacco, the fruits, and vegetables that only grew orange, yellow or green emanating the from the borders of Virginia to the Carolinas, Florida, Mississippi or Alabama, had to be cherished, and it was almost a Commandment, as told by the Pastors and Ministers, for good Christians to not only use the Negro as a workhorse but to feel no shame, because, these MEN of the CLOTH were the true interpreters of the Bible. And no one could sell the Snake Oil, the Contrived Bigotry, the Self -Serving of hate better than the arrogant, ignorant, Christian Crusaders, who understood, the weakness of those who JUST wanted to be loved by Jesus. It was not so much that the Christians in the North were less fearful or less ignorant of the Negro, but climate, congestion, and city life provided some better boundaries. But hate grew, the unintelligent humans basing laws, on Books written by men with the supposition THEY, and only THEY understood God’s intention, and the purposes of why the Republic of America was founded, faded, and a war a Civil War was one more excuse for God being a Racist.
The story goes, God took a rib from Adam, and he created a heterosexual companion for Adam, naming her Eve. The story continues that the idle ways in the Garden of Eden could have remained the precursor of the future of mankind, and of course his chattel, woman. But Eve was weak, intentionally so at least physically, to permit Adam to lead the way, know what was best. Eve was so weak, she fell prey to the Devil’s incarnation of a snake. And the minute the forbidden fruit was eaten, all havoc and all hell on Earth, ignited almost a quickly as the Big Bang, and a woman ruined the bliss and beauty of the land. So, continuing with their own self-serving, insecure ways the Preaches, Pastors, Ministers remained defiant, that the Female was not an equal to the Male, albeit not as low a life as the Negro, but subservient and a provider of babies, and a clean home, and a sex toy. No Civil War had been fought, but wars demanding Equality, and Justice were demanded by emboldened and intelligent females.
As we assumed, while the past became history and the present the moment by which decisions were made to provide a better future, the Negro found limited freedom, and the female almost discovered a fairer playing field. But once again the sad sack, Pay to Pray, Con Artists, using their God as a sap, and the men who never stopped feeling emasculated, have begun to crawl out from under their rocks of bias and bigotry, stupidity…and reclaimed their Christian Crusader armor, and we, as a nation find ourselves, facing a future based on an ugly past. Be afraid America, because, the leadership of this nation, mostly NOT democratically voted in place, has some old business to renew and revive. Our Civil War never ended, and the anger at Eve for eating the apple has never disappeared!
