🎶‪”We Shall Overcome Someday...black and white together someday”.🎵 “How long-not long”-MLK

It looks like we take one step forward and are driven two steps back. I looked into the eyes of a white police officer the other day (while donning my mask 😷) and he looked the other way.  I’ve gotten use to being kind and waving to the police as a way of saying “thank you for your service”, yet now, I must be cautious for not being misunderstood.

I have white friends and wonder if they will be a little standoffish when we see or speak with each other because they can’t see my facial expression through my 😷 (and Yes, I will continue to protect you and me with my mask). It’s an uneasy situation. 

I am reminded of a story that I wrote years ago “ToTo - Where Are We? (http://ow.ly/TtMO30qKmls), things are not the same as it was before. This is a #NewAbnormal.

I haven’t been led to make a comment on this situation until today. I too have a grown Son, and I pray for his safety. I pray that he won’t be a wimp or a wuss, but that he has the wisdom & grace to stay alive if he is confronted by the law. 

Yes, we should be upset that all this racial negativity is happening during this COVID-19 pandemic, yet we need to realize that evil is still lurking on this earth and violence and looting are NOT the answer. Those who committed a crime should be punished by the full extent of the law. #DoTheRightThing #PrayForPeaceAndUnderstanding #LibertyAndJusticeForAll. #CautiousButNotCrazy, #WiseYetHarmless, #WashYourHands,

Prayer & concern needed in senseless deaths

In the wake of so many senseless deaths that have occurred in Jacksonville Florida, there is a greater need for prayer and a higher concern for our youth who may be subject to people who act before they think.  From the “Stand Your Ground Law”, to “Vehicular Manslaughter”, or just plain “Murder”, there have been numerous acts of violence that left parents without their children and the guilty parties serving time in prison or walking the streets to live their lives.

Trayvon Martin

Do you recall the criminal cases that happened a little more than a year ago?  The families have not forgotten.

• Parents of Trayvon Martin send thank you letter to son’s supporters
• Somer Thompson killer is finally sentenced, but not to death
  
  • Makia Coney's murder case, update July 2012
• Jordan Davis is killed & another statistic for the 'Stand Your Ground Law'
• JaNay Jackson is killed as a van plows into her bedroom

Jordan Davis

Some people are upset and want to blame racial profiling, but some of the crimes listed above were not White on White, or Black on White, or Hispanic on Black crimes; they were crimes committed by people who were not thinking before they acted.  None of the offenders were charged with premeditated murder.

Travon Martin will be remembered in love, but what about the other deaths that have taken children away from this earth too soon?  After the news media have moved on to other cases, what about the families who hold the memory of their loved ones deep in their hearts?  What about the crimes that are committed and there is no consolation?  What about the families who are left behind?  What is the solution?

JaNay Jackson

The answer is not in having a gun to protect oneself; nor is it in a “vigilantly movement”.  The only answer is to turn to God in times like this.  2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  Heal the hurt, heal the confusion, heal the injustice and heal the people of this land.  We tried everything else and it’s not working.
