Something that has been pressing on me heavily is the destructive culture of Black America. We are the most mocked people in the world and yet, we continue to fail in the accumulation of any foundational economical strength.
From the music we hear, to the images we see, and the words we speak, our people have been integrated into a burning building. The question is, how do we solve the problem in Black America?
Where Do We Start?
The unanimously agreed upon foundation of a successful society is the social contract.
ScienceDirect.com defines the social contract as an implicit agreement among individuals in a society to live by a moral code established for the benefit of all. In doing so, this will facilitate peaceful and cooperative living. It also provides that those affected by these rules are the creators of said rules which provides an inherent self-interest and competition among individuals.
Our American ancestors, fought through slavery, racial targeting, and economic disadvantages yet they still abided by the moral code of the Judeo-Christian God. When you are standing on something foundational, such as the unchanging God of the Holy Bible, then you have a framework for what benefits society as well as the ability to see when deception or destruction is trying to play in your face.
Some may argue that God did not serve our ancestors because of the aforementioned and to that I would say, we are not slaves by shackles which are seen but by psychological warfare which is unseen.
Stand on Code
Once the social contract is established, then everyone has to stand on code. What this means is that we all agree that murder, greed, sexual violations, lack of self-control, and a plethora of other evils are no longer accepted, made excuses for, or celebrated but rather corrected, redirected, and no longer accepted (I did not know that was gonna rhyme but I got bars sometimes!)
The Black American community is often infiltrated and what that we set out to achieve as a community, is often overtaken by another community that does not serve our interests. An example of this is the Civil Rights movement. I know this is going to rub some the wrong way but hear me out, we never really wanted the opportunity to go into the establishment of the KKK and be served spit in a milk shake. What we wanted was equal protection under the law so when that KKK member came to our house to try and lynch our husband, the law would ensure we had every right to treat them as an intruder.
We wanted the right to vote without the harassment of death but we did not need to be integrated into schools that did not want us there. Though the exact number of schools for Black American’s was not recorded, there were 100 boarding schools for Black Americans across the country before Brown vs Board of Education; now there are only 4. The Freedman’s Bureau supported over 1,500 schools across the South alone, educating over 100,000 pupils and by the year 1900, Black American’s had the highest level of going from illiterate to literate ever recorded in modern history.
It is no secret that in American history, we had thriving neighborhoods, communities, 134 banks, and businesses. Our economic power circulated throughout Black American Society and we were self sufficient. When they did not invite us to the table, we created our own and when they (meaning the evil spirit(s) who can work through anyone who accepts) saw how great we were, they infiltrated the Black American community. Today the Civil Rights Act of 1964 benefits white women more than anyone else in America according to Time Magazine.
The Black Lives Matter Movement was one that developed under the false guise of preventing racially charged brutality and murder. A quote from ABCNEWS reads the following:
From the start, the founders of Black Lives Matter have always put LGBTQ voices at the center of the conversation. The movement was founded by 3 women who identify as queer.
The BLM movement was found in 2013 and since then, hundreds of restrictive state-level measures have been enacted on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community including same-sex marriage. Since 2013, no laws have passed explicitly for Black Americans.
Stand on Code.
The Family
The Family is another unanimous building block for society. There was a time when Black Americans were prohibited from marrying each other. The law of the land did not see us as human and therefore, we could not be married one to another.
Slavery ended in 1865 and by 1890, Black American’s had the highest marital rates in the country at 80%. Today, that number has dropped to roughly 30%. Single-parent households make up around 60% of the familial structures in Black America and we experience the highest rates of divorce in the country though we have the lowest marital rates.

Scientific data concludes that the presence of both the mentally sound mother and the father in the child’s life produces the healthiest outcome for the child. In addition, married couples report higher levels of happiness than singles and have sex twice as much.
As stated before, the chains are not ones we can see but the ones we cannot. Slavery is no longer forced but slowly we have become complicit through the patient power of deception through psychological warfare.
So what do you say? Are you ready for the Revolution?
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
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.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.
