Ten Principles That Are Going To Get Us Through This "American Internal Conflict" Mess

1.) We are not going to be able to transcend the race issue in America until we really deal with it – in truth and in love - for God and for one another.
2.) Racial conflict in America is not a political or economic issue – it is a spiritual issue with political and economic manifestations. As such, it must be prayed against and acted against.
3.) The tumult and anxiety being created now is a blessing from God, because it is now making what has long since been displeasing to God intolerable to man, so that now we may finally take action to effectively confront and address the race problem in America.
4.) We must recognize that law enforcement workers in America paradoxically live and work in terror, in spite of their tactical, legal, and weapons advantage over the common citizenry, because they are called unfairly tasked, regardless of their own race, to largely enforce and uphold the pervasive injustice that is inflicted upon the colored and the poor of all races in America. Furthermore, they are called to accomplish this task peacefully (which cannot be done). When they fail to accomplish this peacefully and act out of fear and/or their own prior racist life programming, they are left to deal with the consequences alone, while the powerful implementers of the root injustices are not held accountable.
5.) The indisputably greatest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind is paradoxically bearing the legacy of the two longest, most unjust legacies of human cruelty that the world has ever seen – the enslavement of the African, and the genocide of the Indian. This is a paradox that cannot continue to go unaddressed if our Union is to survive.
6.) Every American does not have to be a “civil rights leader” or even be particularly empathetic to the causes of any particular racial group in order for “the American Experiment” to endure; but every American must be combat injustice whenever and wherever they find it, without regard to race, creed, color, or any other persuasion or failings of the individual or individuals involved.
7.) The father of Criminality is Poverty. The father of Murder is Injustice. If the father is slain, the child will die or never be born.
8.) Abandon all hope that the conflict between the children of the Slave and the children of his Master can be reconciled without Just Compensation.
9.) Abandon all hope that the conflict between the children of the Murdered and the children of the Murderers can be reconciled without Just Compensation.
10.) Most importantly, Jesus Christ is Lord.
