Whose side was Jesus, called by some itinerant teacher and activist from Nazareth really on?
Can you imagine the horrors of Black people? Snatched from the shores of Africa, shipped like cargo in the hulls of ships, stacked like sardines, in our own waste, thrown off the ship into the ocean if it made economic sense. Beaten, maimed, raped, killed, ripped from the arms of their mothers. Worked like chattel with no pay. Finally emancipated then lynched and terrorized for the audacity of being finally “free.” Counted as 3/5 a person, for the sake of landowning voters, then denied the right to marry, to vote, to live freely, to own land.
I don't believe technology helps us to gather better or communicate in the best ways towards each other. We would look knowingly has someone communicated in words. Further and the solitude of silence, enabled growth in our Understandings of each other. Those with stories to tell often listened to the least nor have they been welcomed or valued
This is not a racial issue white working class folks suffered the same often. I believe it is more a social poverty issue.
