For the most part a good time was had by all but the Brain Wash Cult can’t resist the chance to slip in distortions.
We have an annual assembly to emphasis Black History Month, or in modern politically correct language, African American History Month. Some years it is really educational. Some years it is mainly reinforcing racial stereotypes: American blacks can dance and sing. This year was a party with a bit of history mixed in. The kids had fun, the teachers were good sports about surrendering their dignity and numerous black Americans who have made contributions in science and business were mentioned. I don’t remember any emphasis on sports. Good job.
As I said, a good time was had by all.
But the Progressive Brain Washers can’t keep their sticky fingers off history. Did you know that the Black Panthers were warm hearted community organizers. We saw a lot of slides of these noble creatures giving out free lunches and being kind and generous.
Of course if you are old enough to have lived through those days you remember the violence and death that was dished out.
At this point we move beyond the assembly to why praising the Black Panthers is inappropriate.
To be continued...

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Wow. That "fact" sounds worse than the one about Rosa Parks.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, Rosa Parks was an honorable lady who was committed to MLK's concept of non-violence. You cannot say that about the Black Panther Party.
DeleteMore to come.
Grace and peace
Yeah, the Black Panthers patterned their behavior on the muslims who founded America (according to Obama).
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you read Ralph Peterson but he has a rather long post on the contributions of Muslims.

In short, they motivated us to build a navy.
Grace and peace.
