Since moving from California to Georgia I have experienced
some supernatural things, and I will tell you that some of the supernatural
entities are actually spirits that were left behind from past injustices made
against blacks. In Georgia, many residents are huge supporters of Republican
candidates for more reasons than one, but the main one is because there’s a long
history of old white men running government and non-whites aren’t well-received. When I first moved down here, I felt an
unwelcoming presence and also a deep sadness and in some areas I couldn’t look
at the trees because of what I had learned about Georgia’s dark Jim Crow
past. To date, many of those people who
lived back then still live today and not everyone is open to non-whites. I attend a church that is gradually becoming
more and more multi-cultural, but it is a challenge sometimes just sitting next
to someone, much less talking to them, when you can see from eyes and mannerisms
they don’t like you. Hugging and talking
to your neighbor is rarely encouraged in this church.
The day after the elections, I saw a vision of an older,
dark skin, black man with large eyes appear before me while teaching. He looked like he could've been from the
1800s because he was wearing clothing from that time period like something worn by male field slaves in the movie, Roots. His attire was well worn and dirty. He had his hat off standing before me while it hung down beside him in his hand. I almost immediately assumed he was a slave
from past photos I saw over the years of slaves. Anyway, this individual stared at me with
wild eyes from my doorway as I was recording one of my messages. He observed from a distance as if he had
something to say. I wanted him to go
away and asked the Lord. The image flashed
before my eyes and then left. I felt
nervous during the experience but didn’t stop recording my audio.
Later, that evening, I felt an urge to go to the computer
and write. And the headline that I started to write was, “Don't tease the white
people.” Prior to that moment, I had thoughts that came to mind of white people
who were upset, short tempered and bitter about the recent election results. The
thought came back to me again, "Don't tease the white people." I
would not consider this a racist statement, but a warning.
I would say that my perception of people tends to be
accurate when it comes to racial issues and sometimes I get irritated when I
see or hear about some event taking place that was racially motivated not by
those who are oppressed but by those who consider themselves the oppressor. The plan is usually to divide the people and
conquer; however, plans were foiled by the racists this time. So to have a vision of a slave come and
somehow motivate me to write this piece in a state who houses many who voted
for a candidate, not because they really liked him or his religion, but because
he was simply a white man is for me phenomenal!
Many of our people voted for the black man for the same reasons. They didn’t like him, his policies, or agreed
with his so-called Christian religion either, but they too voted because he was
simply black. I saw evidence of this
race-based behavior almost instantaneously on the night of the elections. I watched
television reporters and so-called experts, who had been very excited early in
the night mention nothing about race, culture, minorities, etc. Yet, as the night wore on, they gradually
became increasingly irritated, frustrated and very unhappy when they knew their
favorite candidate was not winning. Soon
after it was confirmed that their man had not won, the commenting started turning
sour and many references related to race came out such as: “old white men,” “blacks”
“latinos” and “minorities.”
So this vision I had of this slave, I felt as if he was
warning me to warn the people to watch what they say and to remember we have a
blood thirsty enemy. I felt as if the slave was telling us that master was
upset, so to speak, and that if we did too much bragging about a black man
winning in that loud and cocky way we do before the wrong crowds, we were going
to cause unnecessary problems for ourselves.
Now I know some people are turned off by anything that looks
like or sounds like Uncle Tom and I know some people would love to bury the
memories of slavery and cannot fathom that any uneducated slave could in fact
hold wisdom, but the reality is, the more things change the more they stay the
same. As we can clearly see, even though blacks are doing much better than our
ancestors, we must not sleep when it comes to a very real enemy who has never
liked us, has a long history of being jealous of our spirituality, and never
wanted us to be successes in life unless he (or she) could benefit. So why give him an excuse to use his select
minions to further attack us over braggadocios behaviors?
Watch your back, my friend, and don't be so quick to talk
loudly or smile widely when it comes to discussing Obama with non-blacks. Also keep in mind, those of you who are
believers, our President has actually demonstrated before naive eyes of men and
women and the Most High that he doesn’t mind being an abomination in front of
millions in support of an Obama nation. Would have Romney been the better
choice? Absolutely not, he would have
done nothing more than helped to further oppress those who didn't act, look like or have what he had.
To God be the glory for his signs, miracles and awesome
wonders!
