THE DAYS OF RAGE




"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another"

 

On October 20, 1981 in Nanuet, New York  the Weather Underground Organization (WUO) in collaboration with the Black Liberation Army (BLA), robbed a Brinks armored truck containing $1.6 million dollars. Two policeman and one security guard were  killed in the violent confrontation.

WUO, a predominately all white clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the United States Government issued a "Declaration of War" against the united states, primarily because of its involvement in the Viet Nam War and the murder of Black Panther Party(BPP) leader - Fred Hampton.

WUO believed that the young people in this country were being channeled, coerced, misled ,misused, and mis-educated in the school setting. According to WUO, young people were being alienated from the authentic processes of learning about the world. They were convinced that school was where the youth were oppressed by the system and where students were taught to tolerate the faults of society instead of rise against them.

WOU was one of the first organizations to define and clarify the life style now known as "white privilege" in America. WUO further believed that "doing nothing in a period of repressive violence is itself a form of violence. If you sit in your house, live your white life and go to your white job and allow the country that you live in to murder people and commit genocide, and do nothing about it, "that's violence."

How sad that Amerikkka today is still America of yesterday.

In 2015, at the America's Center, in St Louis. MO, about 30 anti-racism activist walked through the St. Louis RV Vacation & Camp Travel Show with "Free Racism" and "Are You Comfortable" drawn on their cheeks and foreheads.

Several were arrested.

The silent protest at America's Center involved students and legal activists, many had been regularly protesting since the shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson.

Fast forward to 2017 in St Louis, the American Civil Liberties Union, has filed a suit regarding constitutional rights violations by the police after the not-guilty verdict in the Jason Shockly murder trial.

The ACLU's list of alleged constitutional violations include, but are not limited to:
1.  The use of chemical agents.
2.  attacking people indiscriminately.
3.  use of pepper spray.
4.  use of pepper balls.
5.  use of rubber bullets.
6.  use of tear gas, and on... and on.... and on.

Evidently, something is seriously amiss in St. Louis because not only is racism alive and well; but it has reached a fever pitch.

But apparently, there is hope.

Because lately, the majority of the protesters being abused are "white."

 Evidently, this new generation of protesters has taken a page from the WUO hand-book and realized that, "if you sit in your house, and live your white life, and go to your white job, and allow the country that you live in to murder people, and commit genocide, and do nothing about it.......THAT'S VIOLENCE."

The Apostle Paul declared that we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, deceived, and hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God TOWARD MAN appeared. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his MERCY he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.

 Marvel not, ye must be born again.
