Was it retribution for all the years of Racism, Segregation and Slavery ?

Numbers 32: 5 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction........”23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out There is always a consequences to wrong thinking, wrong behavior, wrong words spoken and wrong ideas. The first example of a consequence was when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. The consequence of their disobedience affected all mankind as descendants of Adam and Eve. Another consequence was when Moses disobeyed God and struck the rock, causing the children of Israel to walk around the desert for forty years until all his generation died out and did not experience the promise land. Another consequence for impatience was the birth of Ishmael, Hagar's son this has caused a war between descendants of Israel and descendants of Ishmael to this very day, so many wars between Arabs and Jews. There are also consequences to racism, slavery,years of segregation in America. One consequence is a lack of trust minorities have towards the motives of white people in America. In America Whites are numerically considered the majority they are also viewed as the voice of this country, those with the most money and power, and superior to all other people groups in this country. Today people see "the man " as having ulterior motives to hold down the non- whites in this country. However, Christians have an opportunity in America to redeem this concept, this silent elephant in America. White Christians in America need to examine why they did not embrace Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. philosophy. Why all these years they have not spoken out for the poor, minority, the social and political ideologies that Dr. King tried to encourage. White Christians will have to examine the teachings of Jesus and what Jesus demonstrated when He walked on earth? White Christians in America need to join with their other brothers and sisters in Christ,crossing congregational lines. Sunday morning Services should not be the most segregated day in America. On Sundays after church many "all you can eat Restaurants" are filled with whites Christians between noon and 3:00 PM then with blacks and other ethnic groups after 3:00 PM the times church services ends on Sundays, are so strategic. I have christian friends who only have me as their ONE black friend. How is that possible in a country that was built on the backs of slaves, indentured servants from China and India. Why is the church not making an effort to cross over those racial lines, to stop this attitude of superiority verses inferiority? The church failed to fulfill Jesus request that we live as one has Jesus, Father and Holy spirit are one. God did not give the church in America any help, to change the course or the direction this country is heading. Christians have NOT humbled and repented of the evil of the past. Too many Christians and churches are still supporting racist motives. God has allowed this country to reap the consequence of slavery, segregation, guilt and shame. As payback, Many people have voted to payback the white man for the years of oppression and racism. Some have even voted out of guilt and shame thinking they can somehow make past wrongs go away. It will only be right when the Church obeys that LAST command Jesus made for his church to do. Its time to repent and come together as one before Him. It is time to raise up another political third party. One that will reflect the true mixture of all cultures and people groups, and that wants to make America a great nation under GOD. Its time we join Hands and Hearts and turn to Godly principles, morals and leadership. Mitt Romney was a compromise for many Christians. NO more compromise Church! We need to be the LIGHT in The DARKNESS over this country. We need to be the SALT and Light to those confused, lost,have not idea, are hopeless and without a future. We Have the truth, and the wisdom of Holy Spirit. We should be the ones recruiting people of character. We have the resources to build strong and effective leaders that everyone can vote for, and not have to compromise.
