Black and White Facts Matter

“In America,” Joe Biden stated, “just the color of your skin puts your life at risk.”
New Jersey, Senator, Cory Booker said we have “so many unarmed black people in America being murdered by police officers and no way of holding them accountable.”
The Players Coalition made a statement on twitter that every week people are killed by police, “we pray, we mourn only to repeat the cycle a few days later.”
Ben Krump, attorney representing George Floyd, “what we’re witnessing here in America, is genocide”
Genocide? Doesn’t genocide mean slaughter? Massacre? Extermination? Like the extermination of six-million Jews in the holocaust?  
Wow.
According to some pretty big names, like former Vice President Biden, Senator Booker, The Players Coalition and Attorney Crump, not to mention countless media outlets; blacks are being exterminated by police officers and no one’s holding them accountable.  
No wonder we’re having riots.
Appalling.
Horrendous.
How can this possibly happen in America?
My family is a mix of every skin color on the planet, and they’re worried.
Comments on the internet show people are really afraid. They say stuff like: “I’m scared for my kids to go outside and play, because of their color.” “I’m afraid my kids are gonna get shot just walking down the street, by some random cop—just ‘cuz they’re black.”
It's heartbreaking.
We need to get to the bottom of this; figure out what’s going on and deal with it, forthwith.
So, I did some research.
Would you like to know how many unarmed black men were killed just last year by police officers?
Are you sure?
After hearing that our very own black citizens are being massacred, slaughtered, exterminated, are you really sure you want to know the total?
If you don’t want to know, I understand, stop reading now.
But, if you’re sure…
Nine.
9?
Yes. Nine. A total of nine unarmed black men were killed by police last year.
Six of which were killed only after they attacked the officer.
Guess how many unarmed whites were killed?
Nineteen. Yes, 19. A little over, twice as many, unarmed whites were killed by police last year.
You’d never know it by the big names, riots and media, but actually, the fatality rate has been going down under the current administration, especially for blacks.
Back in 2015, Obama era, 38 blacks and 32 whites were slain by police.
 Unfortunately, the fatality rate for police is rising. Last year, 48 police officers were murdered.
Black Lives Matter they really do, so this statistic should matter more than any others we’ve discussed so far. In 2018 there were 7,407 blacks murdered by others, not police; mostly by people they knew.    

OVERVIEW OF LAST YEARS STATS:
9 unarmed blacks killed by police
19 unarmed whites killed by police
48 police murdered
7,407 blacks murdered by others, mostly folks they knew (2018).

Since the George Floyd murder, multiple police officers and civilians have been killed by rioters and dozens more injured. Hundreds of buildings, businesses and lives have been destroyed.
All of it matters.
We’re committing national suicide…for what?
Looking at those statistics—this narrative is a lie.
Actually, that makes perfect sense. It makes sense to me, that we've been deceived. Lied to. Because, the root of the non-stop, gut wrenching turmoil, attacking our nation for that last four years, is the epitome of evil. The father of lies. The master of deception. Think about it, every chaotic catastrophe, that's hit us one after another as if orchestrated, has been mostly a big fat hoax. 
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”  (John 8:44)
The invisible enemy has been exposed.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

At the start of the year we watched the speaker of the house rip the State of the Union address in two. Jesus said, “a house divided, cannot stand.” He is never wrong.
The ferocity possessing the rioting masses is the same one that screamed two thousand years ago, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.”
Are we standing at the precipice of our midnight hour? It reminds me of the last book of the Bible, the twelfth chapter, twelfth verse:
If there ever was a time to fold our hands rather than shake our fist...it's now.

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” Revelation 12:12

Powerful words, indeed, Doug. Yes, I heard those statistics just yesterday, and it really makes me wonder when, and if, the media lies will ever stop.
God bless!
