PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS

I pray for 45. Just as I prayed for Obama and Bush and Clinton beforehand.

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.“ - 1 Timothy 2:1-4

And before you start thinking (never commenting, of course, because you respect me too much and I have the protection that comes with being a Black cis man 

and not a Black woman so you won’t call me out of my name or question my credentials - of which I have none - or my experience, because that goes against the man code),

remember that a christian is the ONLY one who bans the white gaze without blocking or unfriending and the ONLY one who consistently says the commonsense solution 

of firing ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces while calling out the  

bought and paid for negro media that’ll take a poll on Ice Cube but will leave the DNC smoking memo and the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) alone.

And I’ve NEVER had my page suspended in over a decade on FB!

Stop judging by mere appearances and look deeper - those of you who have built up the integrity and spiritual heft, I mean.

Be well.
