When It Comes To The Big Issues

When We Really Began Executions Rather Than Lynchings, Black Folks Were 22% Of Our Population In 1950, For Instance, But They Were 75% Of The Executions. Now, African-americans Are 13% Of The Population, But They're Still Almost Half Of Death Row, And Over A Third Of The Executions. 34% Of The Executions Are Black Folks. So, Like, I Mean, Things Like The Race Of The Victim Is One Of The Biggest Determinants Of Who Gets Executed.

Sometimes Our Tunnel Vision Is Limited To What We See Outside Our Window. Until Racial Injustice Becomes Personal Then I Don't Think It Moves Us In Our Gut.

We Are Faithful Not To The Triumphant Golden Eagle (ironically, Also An Imperial Symbol Of Power In Rome) But To The Slaughtered Lamb.

There Are Some Christians Who Totally Disengage From Politics And Set Their Minds On Heaven So Much That Their Faith Is So Heavenly Minded That It Is No Earthly Good.

The Question Becomes Not Just How To Accumulate More, But How To Covet Less.
