All I ask is l, give him [the Negro] a chance on his own legs! Let him alone . … If you see him going into a workshop, just let him alone — your interference is doing him a positive injury. Frederick Douglas
Satan has sold African Americans a false Bill of Goods. His emissaries, today’s Race-Hustlers, too innumerable to enumerate, have convinced AAs that they are entitled to equal outcomes when God has ordained life to be adjudicated via equal opportunities.
No, I wholeheartedly acknowledge ever since Adam ate from the forbhidden tree that all of life has been awhack, but God never intended that all humans would possess the same outcomes.
Unless you believe Satan is the mastermind behind the invention of sporting events, you would readily acknowledge that equity is nowhere to be found anywhere in professional sports. Even sports that allow for ties only do so for health and time limitations concerns, and even with said concerns, no Super Bowl or World Series would ever end in a tie.
We have done our young people a grave disservice by becoming convinced that it was better that no one goes home a loser, so everyone gets a trophy.
No, toughen up, Butter Cup; there are always winners and losers is the message that little Johnny needs to come to grips with if he is to grow into maturity because, as I told my son just this weekend, “Life is friggin hard.”
Even as AAs love to quote and hold up Martin Luther King, most AAs don't get the irony of King’s most iconic quote,
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
The content of one's character, not the color of one’s melanin, should be the sole arbiter of who gets into what elite college or gets what job.
Many demonstrate no awareness that even as the Supreme Court allowed for racial quotas, they did so because of an emotional desire to right a previous wrong perpetrated against People of Color. All the while knowing their actions were the very definition of discrimination.
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor blatantly acknowledged as much when she proposed the policy of racial quotas could only have a shelf life of one generation, and those racial set-asides could not exist in perpetuity.
Chief Justice Robert spoke with profound wisdom as the matter was brought before the bench. It was in Parents Involved that Chief Justice Roberts wrote: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
How and why is it Constitutional that Asians are denied admission simply based on a policy to ensure a certain number of AAs are admitted?
Forget the fact that while Asians have committed themselves to a practice of proper preparations, we will just generically reserve a specified number of seats for People of Color. What happened to the veneration of the King quote to this application?
How would you feel if you were Asian? Even amid fresh and ever-present racial hostility, Frederick Douglas spoke with moral brilliance. When asked what shall we do with the Negro Douglas essentially said do nothing.
So, I concur as I apply the same line of questioning to my beloved grandson, Malachi.
What shall we do with Mr Malachi?
Speaking as a grandfather who wants nothing more than to live long enough to see Malachi soar in whatever vocation he pursues, I simply want the society in general and the White man in particular (because it is the supposed White man that the Race Hustler tells us that are keeping the Black Man down) to do absolutely nothing but get out of Malachi’s way. If he fails, he fails, but let him do so on his own merits. Since all men are created equal, God only authorizes society to endeavor to create a level playing field (as much as one governed by fallen humanity can do) and let the chips fall where they may.
Editor’s Note: I don't believe this tomfoolery reasoning for one second. As a Christ-follower, I know no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and no man can thwart what God has ordained from all eternity just for me.
I find it particularly alarming that professing Evangelicals depend more on a man-made unconstitutional remedy than trusting in a sovereign God’s plan for their lives.
Well, that is what happens when you drink from the enemy's well and trust more in chariots and princes than the God many profess to follow and trust.
As for me, I will not even venture to say for me and my house, but as for me, I will trust in God’s sovereign plan for my life because, in Jesus Christ, there is onlyYes and Amen.
What should you do with Ricky Verndale Kyles Sr. DEd.Min?
My answer, which I say with full chest, is absolutely nothing. I am not expecting or desiring equal outcomes. All I want and demand is equal opportunity. But here is the kicker: I serve the God of the Universe. Even as Satan attempts to deny me equal opportunity, I serve a But God!
Mature followers of Jesus Christ need no explication on what But God means, do they?
They already know, by first-hand experience. They can testify to what God has done despite the obstacles and roadblocks the Enemy has placed in their path time and time again, only to see another But God moment take place. Can I get a witness?
Frederick Douglas was spot-on: do nothing as concerns the Negro. Just get out of his way.
Sandra Day O’Connor was spot-on: racial set-asides can not go on in perpetuity.
John Roberts was spot-on: how do you end discrimination? By stopping discriminating.
As usual, let me know what you think. Until then, keep your hands to the plow and seek to serve for an Audience of One.
With fear & trembling,
Ricky Verndale Kyles, DEd.Min
