The Nuclear Family

 Representative Byron Donalds speaks to the black Nuclear Family/

Rep. Byron Donalds, a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, recently made controversial remarks comparing today’s Black culture with that of the Jim Crow era. During a June 4 event in Philadelphia, Donalds stated, “You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together.” He also claimed that more Black people were conservative during that time and voted conservatively. However, his comments drew criticism from Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus. They argued that lionizing the Jim Crow era was factually inaccurate and outrageous. Vice President Kamala Harris also weighed in, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging true history rather than rewriting it1.

Donalds later defended his comments on MSNBC, clarifying that he was not being nostalgic about Jim Crow. Instead, he was trying to highlight the higher marriage rates of Black Americans during that period compared to today, which have since plummeted. His intention was to discuss Black marriage rates and a stronger conservative identity, rather than romanticizing the discriminatory era12.

The connection between the nuclear family and Jim Crow doesn't exist.  In fact, it is the repulsion of Jim Crow.  To step out of the black family drives the family together and out of the way of the harmful Jim Crow dangers.  How can there be any connection between the two when they're exact opposites.

Perhaps it is the culture of liberals that clouds their view of a nuclear family.  Byron is an excellent example of how black communities can progress and build generational wealth.  In fact, since many whites fail to establish a nuclear family, blacks could advance themselves above the whites (no quotas needed).

A basic problem is that during the Civil Rights movements, white conservative churches opposed all these efforts as liberal.  Go figure - if the conservatives drop out of movements that promote equal access, it's only liberals left that will create the victim mentality.

Please refer to my blog on "looking away"!

There is a connection to be made - absence of conservative whites fails to create an equitable system of equal (not quotas) access to nuclear families and increasing wealth for all of our citizens. 

 The model for this is Byron Donalds.

Not changing circumstances

My favorite metaphor for God is the He's in a balloon looking down on a parade.  As the parade marches by we see it in time and only one float or band at a time.  Looking ahead on the route God can alter the landscape for groups to yet pass by. The real difficulty for most Christians is that they only pray for circumstances.    But follow the lives of people who've figuratively been given a lemon and they made lemonade. Sometimes God needs people to go where no one else will go.  So He allows for some tragedy for a strong Christian to step into that situation and conduct a ministry that brings the person greater joy than they had before. The wife of  Albert Pujols used to see every game he played.  She herself had been sexually assaulted as a child.  She discovered  that she could spot every  woman who had the same tragedy in their lives.  She then had a ministry to these women at every game she attended, Now she could have walked away from that opportunity.  She could have bee

Looking Away

 Verbatim:  https://www.openculture.com/2016/03/edmund-burkeon-in-action.html “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” It’s a quote routinely attributed to  Edmund Burke . But it turns out falsely so. Apparently, he  never uttered these words . At best, the essence of the quote can be traced back to the utilitarian philosopher  John Stuart Mill , who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the  University of St. Andrews  and stated: “ Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion . Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who , without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”   Jef 4 Revival      This post is NOT my creation.  I give full credit to OpenCulture .

Sound of Silence

  American Communications If America collaspses where is the world to turn to for truth and posterity? Here is an apt description of political communications in our governments and our citizens in America. The song “Sound of Silence” was written by Simon and Garfunkel. But I believe it lacks the tone that fits the lyrics of the song. “Disturbed” I believe captured the tone that easily brings out the complete message of the song. Lyrics Hello darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains  Within the sound of silence Here we see the beginning off a troubling view of today’s society. In the scripture below Jesus uses the metaphor of darkness as the sign of enlightenment. This song is used to show that although we see, we have lights, we have internet, we have highways, we have freedom, and we have many resources; we really have nothing that brings us to
