Racism-Rules of the Game

I had the good fortune yesterday to be a part of an intelligent conversation about race. As tends to happened in such conversations I learned a few thing! I want to get them out. First off we found common ground in the fact “stupid people” and “evil spirited people” freely cross into all races. If your stupid I guess you can keep reading. You may learn something. If your evil spirited you can stop now and go too Hell. There is nothing here for you!

Race is a tough issue for me to take seriously. It matters little to me. I'm from the sticks and I'm white so I guess that makes some sense. However, there are smart, nice people that it does mean a lot too and I can't ignore that! They are surely not making things up. They are seeing something I have missed. I'm not mean either so I didn't miss it on purpose! This is my attempt to reconcile that with my views.

First a quick overview of my views. I believe this country is headed for economic collapse. The national debt is unsustainable. Our dollar is based on oil. The Federal Reserve (a private Enterprise) is a huge scam that prints money out of thin air. I am not really smart enough to figure out who actually controls this huge money making mechanism but that is who has the real power and who controls “things. (and where we need to place our efforts at change)” Everything else is secondary to the money. Obama Care is only important in how it effects the money. For that matter The Second Amendment is only important in how necessary it will be after the collapse. Race will be a non issue post collapse!

Could it be the racism my friends see is actually coming from this same base of power? I think that is quite possible! What if at the core it turns out to be the same enemy as mine? Maybe we could come together and do something about it!

Lets look at this as an elaborate game of chess. Black pieces vs white pieces (pun intended). Now as you may or may not know white gets to move first. That may or may not be an advantage and does not fit well with this analogy. I'm including that fact just for completeness. Be that as it may, if the chess pieces want to improve there lot in life it would be ridiculous for them to fight each other. That is simply how the game is played and would do nothing for them. Likewise revolting against the players would only be a temporary fix at best. The POTUS is simply a player! There have been players before him and there will be players after him. Little if anything of real significance can be changed by a player. Soon there will be another game. If our pieces want to significantly improve there lot they need to look towards the rules of the game!

The Constitution of the United States of America represents those rules. They are not being followed and IMHO are being trampled more and more as time passes. There could be our common ground! That could be the change we are all after! I say we get back to following the rules. THAT would improve all of our lots!

I believe any time one opens there minds and truly seeks understanding great things happened! That has surely been the case with this. It has been something that has been bothering me and I have been thinking a lot about it the past few day. I have gained lots of good insight. I'm sure I will be sharing that over time. One insight I would like to share now.

One of my friends chose to respond on PM. I'm assuming that's because he wanted to keep it private. Until I hear differently from him I intend to largely respect his wishes. He did however hit a KEY point. He stated he had seen racism even among Christians. (he is a devout Christian and a good man) He felt that kept people from God. He further stated that IF some were using there power (as I thing they may be) to “move us backwards” he found that disturbing.

I am NOT as devout a Christian as my friend. A powerful force, that uses deception and misinformation, to not only keep us divided as a country but to keep us away from God! That sound kind of familiar to me. I believe that is a fine description of satin himself! Disturbing in deed!! People THAT is the evil of which I speak! I fear we are heading for an epic battle of good vs evil. I want to be with the good guys! I want the good guys to stand united!

Thank you everyone for your input.
