We the People MLK, Obama

Brothers and sisters we as a people have made many great accomplishments. We fought to end enslavement, we marched for Civil Rights, we now have Black millionaires and billionaires; we also have a Black president. There is a lot to celebrate. However, for every tear of joy we share in the Black community there is also a tears of sorrow. For the past thirty years a disease has been spreading in the Black community. A cultural disease so deadly it claims 8 thousand lives a year. The name of this disease is Black on Black murder! Black on Black murder is the number one killer of Black youth between the ages of 15-24. The Black male youth alone is the victim of more murders in one year, than all our years Iraq. Over 95% of Black homicides are committed by Blacks. Today we are killing ourselves more than the Klan or lynching ever did. Does anyone know where the term lynching came from?

A British slave owner named Willie Lynch was from the West Indies. He often bragged about his method of controlling Blacks for hundreds maybe thousands of years. Speaking to a colony in Virginia in 1712, he outlined the steps. "First separate the differences among the slaves and amplify them. The older blacks versus the young, the darker skinned against the lighter, men against women, and north against south. He told the colonist in order to control blacks they must make us fear, distrust and envy each other. In other words, divide us. We are still divided today. Youth against youth, rich against poor, educated vs. uneducated. A divided house cannot stand!

The deadliest of all sins is the sin of individualism; that is living for one self-alone. Black people cannot survive as individuals. We never have and we are doing a terrible job of it now. The spirit of individualism causes a brother to commit a crime against a brother and justifying it out of the desire of self-gratification. Fortunately there is something more power than individualism: It is the Truth. The truth about you, who you really are historically and Biblically is the cure to Black on Black murder. For the past 15 years I have researched and studied history and the Bible and have discovered the truth about Black Americans.

Growing up all I learned was that Blacks were slaves. Therefore, I assumed that we have not done anything of real value to the structuring of America or the world. This could not be any farther from the truth. The contributions we made to this world are enormous. The problem is most of us assume that others made it. Did you know that a Black man named Paul Williams invented the helicopter? How about Henry Sampson, another Black man invented the cell phone. We invented the ice cream, soap, the first watch and stoplights too. We invented the Ironing board, the Guided missile, the horseshoe- the Lawnmower- the Saddle- the Guitar- the Bicycle frame-the Pencil sharpener- the Fire extinguisher-the Elevator-the Roller coaster- and the list goes on and on. Brothers and sisters you can be anything you want to be and our history is the proof.
