‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Expose White Liberal Progressives As Racists They Are

The following is an excerpt from my eBook, “Blacks Are Victims: Because They’re Told They Are,” published in 2015. I share it today as a followup to my syndicated op-ed column, titled: “It’s A Fact: White Liberal Progressives Most Racist.” If you have not yet read it, I encourage you to both read and share it.

Permit me to again quote George Kelly from his book on Personal Construct Theory, “Psychological disorder is any personal construction which is used repeatedly in spite of consistent invalidation,” i.e., repeating the same thing failure after failure is a psychological disorder.

If failure from repeating the same mistakes ad nauseum were an Olympic sport, liberals would have unparalleled records of success. But it isn’t, and they do not. But they are nothing if not a persistent lot, and they are determined to not allow repeated failure to stunt their creativity pursuant to new ways to fail. Such is a recent suggestion on how to provide better educational opportunities for children, specifically black children.

Michael Holzman wrote: “How can we best provide resources, including more money, to children in order for each child to attain high-quality education, without regard to where they live or their family background?” (All Kids Deserve Great Education) He then uses four supposedly mythological children to make his point.

He goes from the obligatory child whose mother is a low-income worker and a father who, while no longer in prison, is absent from his life. The child has failed two grades and is now a dropout working on his GED. The next child has teachers for parents, and supposedly their being teachers gives them “access to knowledge and resources not afforded” the first child’s “family.”

Let me pause here to respond. First of all, while it isn’t the first child’s fault he was brought into this world (and I applaud any decision to not murder a child by abortion), it is the parents’ responsibility to make sure they have a reasonable expectation of supporting their child. Holzman doesn’t argue in favor of the parents having a plan for the future that would enable them to provide for a family at such time as they plan for one.

Holzman, like those of his persuasion, immediately and without forethought or hesitation trots out the victim card. He doesn’t argue for personal responsibility. He doesn’t argue poor decision making. He immediately addresses the outcome while ignoring the primary causal effects that led to said outcome. This is the baneful way skin color-mongers, especially white, neo-Leninist liberal skin color-mongers view blacks. This is the inculcated mindset that contributes to the multi-generational autoecism of government dependence.

Human beings are not animals, but even animals in the wild prepare for the birth of their unborn by seeking birthing areas that are secure, and that provide the requisite surrounding for them to give birth and raise their offspring. Should we not expect more from human beings? Apparently not if the human beings are black and you are a neo-Leninist liberal. Blacks are expected to assume the lowest level of decency and behavior. For those who do not, they are viewed as uppity and arrogant, and forgetting where they came from. There are no bigots like neo-Leninist liberal white racists whose depth of unvoiced but practiced racism is on display for all who take time to observe.

That said, I would also point out that there are many children who received GEDs for a number of valid reasons. I personally know the daughter of a Fortune 50 company senior executive whose child dropped out of school and received a GED because classroom work was neither challenging nor productive for them. Her child learned a trade and went into business for themself. Is there any reason to believe the child Holman references couldn’t do same?

As I stated in the previous chapter, I would additionally point out that every parent and child have access to the free public libraries and free museums. They have access to historical areas in their towns and/or cities. They have access to free educational tapes from the free public libraries. They have access to free programs held at churches, Boys and Girls Clubs, and community groups. They have access to Big Brother and Big Sister programs.
How about instead of imparting victim status to those who are guilty of poor decisions, we impart demands for personal responsibility? Instead of telling the parent who irresponsibly has children out of wedlock with no plan to provide for same except the autoecious umbilical tethering of another generation to the government, we do the unthinkable and tell them they screwed up and we are not going to support or reward them for same. They are not parasites and government is not their host.

They are not going to sit at home and collect welfare, food stamps, and other entitlements while portraying themselves as victims.

Children are supposed to have access to parents who care enough to read to them and with them. They have access to free music lessons even if they are not available at their school. To this day, my son and I talk about the enjoyment and benefit we both received reading to one another or sharing time together, each reading a book of our choice.

Holzman continues by referencing another child he invents as coming from a family where the father is a surgeon, the stay-at-home mother is a scientist, and the grandparents hold advanced degrees in the sciences and the humanities, and are involved in informal education. The child in this family has taken summer school classes each summer except the year her grandparents took her to Europe (he’s painting it on thick). And the child is deciding whether to go to Princeton or UC San Diego. I say that’s just the standard victim fare presented courtesy of fantasyland tours.

I related earlier that my mother was single. My five cousins who are my age or close to same were dirt poor. They grew up in a home that had a dirt floor. Today they are superintendents of schools, an Air Force Jag, PhD educators, and of their three younger siblings, two are self-employed and the other is a career manager in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. No one told any of us we were victims.

People like Holzman, et al, do not want blacks to be self-sufficient. They want them to be angry and blame the system (Read white system) for holding them back. White neo- Leninist liberals need this because it absolves them of the guilt they feel for their secretive bigotry. That is why they hate those like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Dr. James David Manning, Ward Connerly, Col. Allen West, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, and yes, me also. It is because we and those like us are threats to their politically correct racism that they hide behind the facade of concern and caring.

Lastly, Holzman creates a mythical child of a successful Wall Street investor who now works in a building owned by investors in the town where the family resides. This child’s mother is a successful realtor (who, he points out, sells homes and some horse ranches — as if that means anything in this equation). The child goes to private school in New England.

Holzman’s point is that the more affluent and professional families have opportunity for better educational environments, and the only equipoise for those who do not is to spend more federal money. Now to be fair, I want to make clear that I have truncated his treatise, and to a degree, trivialized it, as well. But that is not because same is not deserved.

As I previously mentioned and expanded upon here, I came from a family in which myself and my cousins went on to college. Every one of us excelled in some capacity in music, academics, athletics — one cousin going on to Juilliard and then touring the world as a professional dancer/performer. We became superintendents of school districts, Air Force Jags, educators, professional athletes, professional football coaches, and front office management for professional football teams, lawyers and Judges. What we all had in common was poorly educated parents only three of whom (if memory serves me correctly) finished high school. We grew up like nearly everyone one else in our town and school, i.e., poor progeny and of poor, working parents.

Pouring more money into schools wasn’t the key to education for us or our peers. Instruction started at home. There were educational expectations and most importantly no one taught us to envy and/or blame those who came from hard-working families who were able to attain a measure of affluence.

Pouring billions of dollars after billions of dollars into education has not resulted in superior test scores nor has same resulted in elevating those to whom Holzman loosely alludes — the so-called minority student, specifically the black student.

My son is the beneficiary of two parents who placed a premium on education and who created learning environments. We took day trips to every historical site around us. We went to museums and libraries. We, like our peers, realized that sticking an earring in the ear of a child wasn’t creating an environment that concentrated on learning.

Our friends were parents who also were deeply involved and personally invested in their children’s education. They didn’t leave it to the schools. And I know for fact that many of you did same, because you’ve written telling me.

If people such as Holzman were truly interested in the education of children, they would support vouchers. No amount of money given to teachers is going to increase education levels of today’s students. Holzman doesn’t argue to raise the bar for education; he argues for lowering it and having the taxpayers pay more for same. If he were honest, he would admit that in most instances the teachers today are nearly as unlearned as the students they are teaching. He is welcome to argue the contrary, but I suggest he investigate the New York, Ohio, Philadelphia, PA school districts, for teacher proficiency pursuant to the number of times they were tested before passing certification tests, how many are actually qualified to teach the courses they are teaching, and the number that are actually certified.

It’s easy to find new and creative ways of saying we need to spend more money on education, but history continues to show that throwing good money after bad accomplishes little more than higher tax-bracketed teachers.

Neo-Leninist liberals are notorious for hiding behind the curtain of faux concern. They are no less notorious for creating victims out of blacks. In reality they do not give a rat’s tail about blacks or black children. They care about creating constructs they control and creating facades within which they can freely create young Leninists and victims.

It is time we realized that the progressive liberal’s idea of summum bonum is obedient black victims and budding Leninists. The proof of my accusation lies within what they have attempted to create over the last 49 plus years.
