BLACK SELF-GENOCIDE

 

Black self-genocide is a term that I use to describe deaths or injuries to black people caused directly or indirectly by some behavior or activity common, but not unique, in black communities and culture described in detail below. I am disgusted by every example of excessive force used by law enforcement officers involving black suspects or black innocents in the wrong place at the wrong time resulting in injuries or deaths. Unlawful excessive force by law enforcement officers involving guns or illegal and unauthorized physical restraints like choke holds disgust me. I am equally disgusted by assassinations, murders, or injuries of law enforcement officers. I am disgusted by the murder and assault of every human being, including black on black crimes, because all lives matter to me. To many reading this article, this all lives matter stand means I do not understand the injustices suffered by the black community for centuries because I suffer from the genetic disease white privilege.

Consequently, I admit that I am a racist old white man. I admit that I am a racist old white man not because I am a racist but that is what you know in your heart that I am, a racist. I am not a racist by birth or heritage, the environment where I was raised, or my personal experiences as an adult. I am a racist old white man because over the last six decades, I have gradually lost respect for the black community at large, most of the nationally acclaimed black leaders, and most members of the Democrat Party, especially progressives. The riots that have periodically destroyed our cities for six decades are one example of what I call black self-genocide. The riots are always justified by claims of systemic racism perpetrated by white racists which now includes every white person living in the United States because we all suffer from the genetic disorder of white privilege.

I have also lost respect for the greater black community because it has allowed itself to become the victim of black self-genocide. Indicators of black self-genocide include ramped black gang violence resulting in the death of thousands of black Americans, now including young children; debilitating drug abuse resulting in countless more deaths; abortions eliminating countless black babies in the womb; destruction of the nuclear family leaving countless single moms to raise unaborted children in poverty who often succumb to gang membership, death, or drug abuse; and a culture that no longer respects law enforcement officers teaching blacks to flee from the law, not cooperate with law enforcement conducting criminal investigations, disobey law officers, or resist arrest often resulting in serious injuries or deaths. Most of the twenty first century events that have involved use of excessive force by law enforcement officers started with the black suspects, subsequent victims, who fled from the law and/or resisted arrest. Had these blacks simply complied with or obeyed the legal orders and instructions of law enforcement officers, they would not have been injured or killed, more black self-genocide. Sadly, simple acts of disobedience or resistance result in injury or death of suspects or victims usually lead to massive and destructive riots, additional injuries, loss of lives, property destruction, theft, and millions to billions in costs to reclaim lost property and rebuild communities. Unfortunately, many of the injuries and deaths caused by the riots are to blacks and other minorities, additional back self-genocide. The black self-genocide described is a tragedy for black Americans specifically; but it is also a tragedy for every citizen of the United States.

In my opinion, one group of black leaders has the greatest opportunity change black community attitudes which result in black self-genocide, black Biblical Christian clergy and congregational leaders. These leaders understand that Biblical teachings leading to salvation and understanding through Jesus Christ offer real solutions to the problems of the greater black community. Such teachings would prevent the attitudes that lead to black self-genocide. Changed lives bring about changed outcomes. Changed outcomes for the greater black community should be the prayer of everyone in the United States.

BIBLICALLY, ABORTION IS MURDER

 Within Biblical Christianity, the sanctity of life is an essential part of the belief system of each Christian who has a personal relationship with God through Christ. Consequently, Biblical Christians oppose abortion. Understanding the sanctity of life starts with the Sixth Commandment,

You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13, NIV).

Murder is further defined in Exodus 21:12 & 14 as follows:

Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death. If a man schemes and kills another man deliberately, take him away from my alter and put him to death (NIV).

A baby is in a bowl with pink stuff around it.
Abortion is opposed by Biblical Christians since, according to Exodus 21:22-24, abortion is murder in God’s sight.

Exodus 21:13, describes what we call manslaughter today. It is not punishable by death. As described in Exodus, with the exception of manslaughter, murder is murder. Abortion is murder because God cherishes each individual life, at all stages.

God’s law provides equal protection for a baby in its mother’s womb just as it protects any other person. At fertilization, an egg becomes a genetically distinct person who can be genetically identified as a distinct human being not a cancer or parasite requiring elimination by abortion. Exodus 21:22-24 states

If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely; If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise (NIV).

Therefore, if a person takes the life of a baby in a mother’s womb by abortion, that person murdered the baby in the womb.

Finally, the Bible demonstrates that God has a plan for each individual before they are conceived. In Psalms 39:13-14 we read,

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well (NIV).

Similarly, Jeremiah 1:4, states,

The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I anointed you as a prophet to the nations (NIV).’

Most expectant Mothers experience reactions by their baby to outside stimuli. Shortly after Mary conceived Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, she went to visit her relative Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with her son, John the Baptist. Luke 1:41 & 44 follows:

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting the baby leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (Elizabeth told Mary) As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy (NIV).

God’s plan for each individual starts before conception and continues throughout their life.

God knows each individual before they are conceived through His creative process. How, then, can we, as a society or as an individual, terminate the life of a baby in the womb by abortion.

That baby was set apart and anointed for God’s purpose.
