Chad Wheeler of the @Seahawks tried to kill his girlfriend because she wouldn’t bow to him. He was even surprised at her survival.
If you’re not outraged, you’re part of the problem.
@NFL handle this swiftly & decisively.
You can have white Santa if you must.
But you can’t have white Jesus.
Nope.
Sorry.
Can’t.
And here’s what I want to know. Why the heck do you want one??
Why can’t we just go with the Jesus we got?
Isaiah 59:3, 9-10
Do not dream lynchings do not take place in the year of our Lord 2020.
Unarmed but not unnamed.
His name is Ahmaud Arbery.
He was 25 years old.
On a jog.
“PURSUE JUSTICE.” Isaiah 1:17
“For your hands are defiled with blood & your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies & your tongues mutter injustice...therefore justice is far from us & righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light but there is darkness; for brightness but we live in the night.”
We know this is wrong. We know it is outrageous. But we don’t want to make our fellow whites mad. If they believe their white skin affords them privileges darker skin does not get, it’s time to make them mad. We will stand before God and answer for our silence.
Dare to differ with your coworker. Dare to differ with your church.
Dare to differ with your spouse. Dare to differ with your parents. Dare to differ with your children. Dare to differ with your mentor. Dare to differ with your boss.
Dare to differ
or nothing will be different.
I’ve been advised not to post about the murder of Ahmaud Arbery until I calm down a bit. But that’s part of the problem, isn’t it? We calm down and go on about our business. This must end. Our black brothers and sisters need white advocates to bring this to an end. Count me in!
His name is #AhmadArbery.
Say his name - out loud.
To our children.
To our grandchildren.
To our neighbors.
In our churches.
To your social media followers.
And out of respect for his mourning mother. 😢
We can’t ignore this. It’s wrong & devastating.
