2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land
He hit the nail on the head when he said "Our role for our race should come from within us. Not just sit back and wait for somebody else to help us. Nobody can put values in people"
smoothcollected You can't deny the mountain of evidence supporting it. 2013 census stats states 74% of Black homes are lead by Black women, with correlating negative consequences. Yet, when you compare families with both fathers and others in Black, White, Asian, and Hispanic homes, all the negative problems vanish we are equal. Then look at our African Bros/Sis, they are a totally different culture, that prides itself on men being dominate in families as a result, Nigerians are the most successful immigrants, earning more on average than white people. Yet, the power that be, will not tell you that. In stead, they want you make excuses on how whites are not helping us. African BTW don't even live around Black Americans. They even know this, and on average, will not marry a woman that wasn't raised with a father in the home.
eastlake93 Bullshit! The white family is deteriorating just like the black. All over the world the unity of traditional marriage is failing! Mostly due to industrialization.Go to Google it. Opioids and miss epidemics have destroyed the white family unit!
I don't know how someone can get mad at this guy [Pastor]. I agree with him allllllllllllll the way! From single moms trying to raise boys to men, black on black crimes to Respecting black lives..
consuelo askew it's not so much "what" he said, it's where he said it...timing. Look up the definition of a eulogy. His words may have been right, may have been wrong, that's a matter of opinion but were they apropos to Aretha Franklin or the family in their time of grief?🤔
consuelo askew What are we doing killing one another? What are women doing having all these babies that they are not going to take care of. What are men doing making all these babies and know they are not going to take care of? What are we doing filling up the prisons all over this country? What are we doing still not voting?
I will tell you Why! Simply because Someone has been Called Out on Thier dysfunctionality, Business as Usual, Need more of this type of a Soul /Spirit. Unapologetically!!! Blacks need more of Self Realization,Self Mirrorlization, And Self Love, This Is The Core of his Message(All is Within)
Evidence shows ur not gonna make everybody happy, rather in your eyes he was right or wrong ,He only has to answer to God almighty, well done Jasper!!!!
Ronnett Norfleet, Neverrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! The truth "MAKES" one free NOT SET, BUT "MAKES" ONE FREE AND WHOM THE SON "MAKES" FREE IS FREE IN DEED!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AIN'T NOBODY MADE BUT THE DEVIL AND ALL THAT ARE HISSSSSSS!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus Christ says in John 14: 6, "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life, no man comes unto the father but by me." Jasper never preached the truth, sir.
I tell you one thing, the greatest of our problem with such - is that we have been dumb down sooooooo much ,that we only look for the things that mesmerised and stimulates the lower senses , therefore we are only able to ascend on higher levels of overstandings of the message. I would suggest that we all as a culture )race begin the study of higher science's i.e Metaphysics)Quantum physics. In other words Checkout your Mind...Curtis Mayfield. I'm with You Business as Usual.
Trump is a BLIGHT to the black community - if he had his way, there would BE NONE. And Aretha CARED about civil rights. THAT is why any comments like that WERE appropriate.
smoothcollected The black church has failed black men and children. And here they’ve come to brag about it. Jasper Williams gave the message white supremacy has been trying to deliver its whole existence! Men did not leave women. Women left men! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-340dsb7XgQ4.html
Don’t even understand how someone will say he insulted the black single mother. I’m a single mother with two sons, and I wasn’t insulted because he spoke the truth and being a man he would know. Women don’t think like a man therefore we can’t advised or train accordingly. We can teach our sons the sensitive side of life which helps in the way they respect and love a woman and their children but a father helps in shaping them into a man as he is. This is something I learned during the upbringing of my sons. The focus of the time is in black folks loving each other as it is written “A castle divided among itself cannot stand.” The same thing he’s talking about is what transpired and resulted.... We’re up against each other again. Why not see the positive side of it and not look for a negative. The speaker’s words were spoken in love for his people and we all should be pleased to have these type of men in our corner. It’s Apparent the spirit of comradely stirs him up like it did Dr Martin King and his circle who fought with bravery for black folks. I’m sure Aretha would’ve been pleased with what was said as she herself was a single parent of boys. Our downfall is... Black folks don’t love their own. People treat your things as you treat them so just as we do our people others will do likewise. Wake up black people!!
MC Lamy You weren’t insulted because he called single mother proud, fine, and beautiful. He only clowned the men. That’s why the single mothers love this man bashing Eulogy, because he doesn’t speak on the woman’s role in single parenting. Only the men. In truth, woman deserted men for social programs aimed at fatherless families and feminist ideologies that pushed independence for women and marriage as an oppressive institution. That’s the truth and I can show you the footage if you want to see it!
Martin Luther King never sold out black men like this Satanic pastor did. MLK is on record, i have the clip, talking about how social programs aimed at only supporting single black families were created to destroy marriages. I’ll go find the clip of MLK on this subject and leave the link!
@@MikeRP3147 well said.. not indulging folks who offer nothing to the conversation but negative remarks usually more hate on the oppressed. I believe that its those ppl who just can't or refuse to take responsibility for their lives. Or has baggage from their own upbringings or failures. We all fail and fall short of perfection. Let's look to how we can improve ourselves and the things that we see & perceive as areas of concern & needs improvement. Talking nonsensical negative remarks about anything anyone or anywhere does nothing but keep man living in a hell but on earth
Pastor Williams has everyone talking and asking questioning. Pastor Williams sent a message (WORLDWIDE) and it was received! (Truth hurts) Thank you Pastor Williams LOVE! RESPECT! FORGIVE! REPENT!

Prophet Nathan Hogan but why would he bring that up? His job was to do with he did; open the eyes of America, Black America in particular. He was not there to air out Aretha’s father’s dirty laundry.
Alisha Anthony Amen! “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forgive thy children.” Hosea 4:6.
hes probably a Trump supporter like all those black pastors , taking millions of dollars from the black community to spend on his flash clothing, people are so dumb.
Just think about what he says when the cameras arent rolling. That's just the way he talks. I hope he writes a book on the epidemic. He should have delivered that message in Chicago.
Prophet Nathan Hogan How do you know. Most time you charge for wedding and funerals are free. When it's a church member or close friend of family or church
Jack Daniels-Son ppl got a problem with church being real......there are some that ain't punks....just because we go to church.....we should be even more bolder to speak the truth
I would not be explaining anything to these folks. He told the truth and if they cant see that its too bad. Most folks have selective hearing anyway....
@B Coldhart he "uplifted" and motivated me to keep using condoms and stay away from ratchet females. I'm a teenager and I have more common sense than you do.
lakechaney I have nothing against Trump. He is serving his purpose. How can you hate someone when the variable(s) are given in a problem, all you can do is try to slove it. So, please don't say all Black people. Its pointless to hate... All you do is give your energy away with no positive return.
Pastor William's you are telling the truth and I pray that your message spread, around to where the BLACK MAN will be present in the home to raise his family. I would love to hear some of your sermon's. RLR
She didn't pick him to speak. Her family asked him actually. And they regret it. Aretha Franklin was a single mother. So he pretty much was talking about her as well
Did he? Or did he give a sermon he was seething to give ("I had to wait for over 7 hours while others went before me"???) Seems like he felt he was supposed to be the "main attraction."
I just think he was making an innocuous point that a 7 hour prelude to the eulogist is highly unusual, and extraordinarily taxing on the person that's expected to bring the 'good word'.
I understood what he said. He insulted single black mothers, he DID NOT deliver a Eulogy in honor of Aretha! He pontificated his social views....and this was not the place to do it!! I see a HUGE EGO here!
how did he disparage black women? it's the opposite actually. He praised black women for trying their best but insinuated that the father is still very important in raising black boys. Guess you are one of those who despise hearing the truth huh? or you just love to parrot whatever the MSM has programmed into your head. well, pull your head out the sand and look in the mirror to recognize the problem before it is too late
No one is saying that what he said was incorrect our untrue. Outs simple... If the family had a certain expectation and felt disappointed, then he failed them. This should've been done solely with the family in mind. Not Black America, not Congress... Just her family and friends who probably feel thesame way he does about all he said. However I'm willing to bet their minds were more wrapped in the loss of their mother,grandmother, aunt,etc. If it were a private funeral with just family, he wouldn't have gone that route.
I don't think anyone disagrees with "what" he said but "where" ... he is a pastor after all and probably has preached this message more than 100 times over the course of his career but picking a funeral where the person celebrated was called "the queen of soul" seems to me as if he jumped off message just to say something boarder that he otherwise wouldn't have had "this" many to listen to ... we are all keenly aware of what plagues our community and while again; I don't necessarily disagree with what he said ... Aretha's funeral was not the place to do it
@@adsmith122 It's always a good time and place for truth, the message got out to way more people and he was speaking a message that needs to be heard. Yes a lot of us have heard this before but it needs to be heard again and again until steps are taken to correct the problems
Pastor Jasper Williams was the only one right that day. Black lives must first matter to Blacks. All those Black multi millionaires on stage and in the audience haven't been to the hood in decades and so out of touch with Black reality. These rich black folks need to use their millions to create jobs and businesses for our black youths, But I guess attacking Trump Is the best way to dodge this solution.
You are so right. We live in a society now we want to sugarcoat everything, to make it sound good. The truth hurts, and people doesn't want to hear it which is so sad. This wonderful pastor doesn't NEED to apologize for anything.
Aretha grew up on preachers like this, that’s why she chose him and if she chose him to eulogize her funeral then what’s the issue.... before the comment of negativity comes straggling along on this post first let’s respect Aretha decision on who she wants to speak at her celebration of life. Now when you leave this world you can have whom ever you want to speak over you and about you and nobody will have nothing to say about who you choose..... first thing whomever you pick you won’t know what the hell they talking about anyway your lips and eyes will be glued shut literally..... lol so you just pick the person to talk about you or whatever and you just lay there and rest.......🤦🏾♂️
he insulted Arethas name she was a single mother, so hes saying her boys aren`t decent men? its the quality of the parenting not the gender that matters.
There is a time and place for things. Continuing to loudly say, "Black Lives Don't Matter" (until S. Wonder yelled, "Black Lives DO Matter" was inappropriate. I understood what he was trying to say but his wording was done poorly and it should not have been part of an eulogy. Secondly, 50 minutes was waaaay too long for an eulogy and it should have been focused on Aretha not his views of the ills in the Black Community. His comments have a place, perhaps at a conference on the subject but not at her funeral. Finally, the comment about Black women being unable to raise sons was so off base and insulting. No one knows why marriages fail but we cannot demean the women who are raising their children alone. That comment was particularly insulting considering that Aretha was the single mother of 4 sons. The family has said this week that they found his eulogy offensive. And, they said that Aretha did not select him - they did, because he had done her father's funeral. The family was embarrassed and I was embarrassed for him. Eulogies should be uplifting, not insulting.
He unfortunately betrayed his own mission: eulogize, which means to speak well of. His survey of the social, political, financial and domestic ills plaguing the Black community has its place, but funeral of Aretha was not it. Additionally, he faced a daunting task after seven hours of songs and words that eulogized the Queen. (Phew!) But after all that, to preach a nearly one-hour sermon was unwise. He should have did a tapestry sermon; that is, take bits and pieces of her song, or the words previous spoken and wrapped it up into one huge masterpiece. Could be done in UNDER 15 minutes.
Thank you! We must be willing to challenge individuals even if we respect them and hold them at high regard. His words were bait for whites racist to latch onto to justify mistreatment. If you are going to challenge your community and openly rebuke your community. But challenge the systems that keep their foot on your community neck.
Amen Reverend Williams!! You are 100% right on the mark with everything that you said at Ms. Franklin's funeral. I concur!! Keep up the good work!! I'll bet that the people who are getting upset about his message are the ones who need to hear it the most!
GOD IS IN CHARGE!!! THANK YOU PASTOR JASPER WILLIAMS, NOT ONLY DID YOU SPEAK TRUTH CONCERNING LIFE IN THE NATURAL BUT YOU MADE A CALL TO REPENTANCE, A CALL THAT IS ALWAYS TIMELY YET OFTEN LEFT OUT. THE TIME TO TELL ANYONE TO REST IN PEACE IS WHILE THEY YET LIVE, AND HOW YOU UTILIZE THAT PHRASE IS THROUGH THE CALL. ONCE THEY ACCEPT SALVATION CONTINUING THEIR WALK WITH GOD, GUARANTEE'S YOUR RIP WHEN THE TIME COMES!!
I find it very difficult to understand why he would choose Aretha Franklin's funeral as an opportunity to address anything having to do with black women not being able to raise boys to men! He is unapologetic about what he said! He has points that have value, but the venue and the context were out of place. He has what I have which is
PG+ it's very simple. 2Tim.2-4, there's no particular season to teach what the words says, Cause by doing that, is the reason this wicked kingdom is successful in its wickedness. Without the true doctrine of the Lord, the people will continue to go off not knowing what they're doing is wrong. & 1 main thing people have to realize is that when we die, we don't instantly go to some flowery kingdom of milk & honey, Ecc.12:7 the body came from the earth, & to the earth it shall return, but it's the spirit in you that returns to the Lord in the Judgement seat, where u will have your final judgement as to what did you actually do in the name of the Lord as far as keeping his commandments. & as the word says... ALL have sinned, & come short of the glory of the Lord.
Amen,Black men stand up and take ur place and stay in it. I feel for this pastor cause he didn't sugar coat nothing and i overstood exactly what he was saying.🤔😍if his message reached 1 person who has never thought about wat he said then that's a move in a better direction. Just take action...so basically she is a seed she has been planted and let respect grow!
Amen!!! Amen!!! Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!! A seed that quickly sprung up at a time such as these and many eyes are on the shoot(Mr Williams)!!! Amen!!!
@@sharayahhoungbonon8585 , Greetings my dear soul, one has a right to be "well pleased" but not proud, for it is written Holy God hates pride!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! It is synonymous with wicked, the cursed and rebellion!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! Humbling one's self under the mighty hand of the Holy God is pleasing in His sight!!! Amen!!! Amen!!!
I don't believe he was the one speaking ? I honestly believe that it was our heavenly father and Aretha Franklin speaking through him ? I'm just saying. God bless to all Love is what it's all about.
Actually Aretha Franklin didn't choose him to speak at her Memorial service. He family asked for him to speak since he has spoken as previous memorial services within their family!!! (Fact check)
I really don’t think he should’ve done it on such a world stage and you have never known white America shame their youth or people on a local,state, or national level. Think about people . No one is denying the truth but it could have been done better! And if he was seeking a world state why do the interview?
My father told me that a woman couldn’t raise a man back in the 80’s. I tried for months to potty train my son. When I asked my dad to help me...he trained my son in one week and afterwards my dad made that statement. Let’s put our families back together and love and respect each other. That right there will change our communities and our outlook on life.....
whales tales I didn't have a problem training my sons to potty train. Mothers and fathers are ment to both raise their children but one gender is not always more knowing then the other. I believe it just comes down to the person themself and the knowledge they bring to raise their specific child.
Problem to me not everyone wants to raise their kids alone. My kids father and I was married 12 years. He was a Minister of The Gospel and a Chaplain. He was very abusive. My Pastor in tears and a counselor told me I had to leave.I finally did.We divorced but began abusing his kids during visits,so the visits stopped. My son has uncles,cousins, a step Grandad and a few men in church. No one reached out because he wasnt in trouble. He is very introverted. He works hard. He has no kids. He has no substan.ce issues. I even went to church, no connection. I raised him as best I could. I just have a hard time being called a Queen and belitting women,like me who have sacrificed everything to raise 3 kids alone.
you believe a woman cant raise her own son because your father told you, women are raising their sons all over the world single handed and majority of the boys are fine young men. Maybe the problem is with Americans,
I love these old school men reminds me of my grandpa. This is what I think! Here it is! You don’t like it deal it, but every word he said came from a place of love! He obviously loves his people and loves the lord. Pray for this man! Not too many stand up men like him left. He is very intelligent. He made a few of the reporters feel dumb! Love it!
Great inspirational Eulogy. Your words were clear, concise, and timely. I was single mom to a son, and, I agree, we need help. Men should not be excused from their responsibility, in the family unit. Thank you sir. Would like to meet you in person, and commend you. My 33 year old daughter (raising 3 boys with my help) enjoyed your comments as well. She wants to, come out to listen, to you, too.
I am a grandmother helping my daughter raise her 14 year old son without a husband/father in the home. It is not easy; but with the help of God...He is blessing her to do a fine job! There was no need for Williams to insult single black mothers the way he did. For the most part, single black mothers are not asking to do this alone.....they are doing the best they can with what they have. For him to make that statement that single black mothers can't raise a man; is insulting and pretty much untrue! I know and have known plenty of single black mothers who have done a fine job raising good responsible sons into grown men taking responsiblity as good citizens and spouses! He was supposed to laud the life accomplishments of Aretha....who was a single mother as well....and not insult the female demographic of the world who could relate to the pain, truth and passion she poured into the music that spoke so well as to what they were experiencing within their own lives! He is a reprehensible chauvinistic! I heard Williams preach at a church here some 30 plus years ago; and he was very powerful in the Word of God.....and that's where he should stay!
Narvelan Coleman I hear you sis, and definitely can relate personally. Initially, I didn't agree with that comment either. However, I didn't stay there. As he continued speaking, I realized, that he was applauding us, and reprimanding our black 'men' who abandon, their roles in the family unit----something that IMO, very much needed to be emphasized. It was a 'sensitive' time for all of us, including this speaker, however, under those circumstances, overall, I feel he was led by the spirit, as well as his heart. Agape
This is Prophet Raymond Bell Reverend Jasper Williams did a wonderful job and he got to the issues that is affecting our homes Community Church and Country but I must say is nothing like the sermon he preached at Aretha Franklin's father's funeral a good soldier I'll listen to that maybe twice a month back to back God bless Reverend Jasper Williams and his sons you are truly anointed by God
@@enspyreu9804 , you're perfectly right..He told the truth and that's it. Babies having babies.. The blind leading the blind and I know you guys understand where um coming from. There's no special place to deliver messages that God put in his heart to say and it is what it is.
Why wouldn't he stand by it. The highlight of it came when he said The gays need to accept the straights and the straights need to accept the gays. That was a revolution for a pastor to even touch on that let alone agree to it. He should be commended not given any strife. This man knew a personal side of Arethas father when he said. He might not have been the best father but he did support his daughter and encouraged his daughter.
That's the truth black an the Bible says " we would rather believe a lie than the Truth and when the Truth comes we call that a lie". That's why black people always trying speaking against anyone who speaks truth. So Pastor keep doing what you are doing.
Betty Boop Only one family member Vaughn said that. What reason is there not to believe the pastor? He's known Aretha and family for over 68 years. He said she did. Maybe not on her deathbed, but she could've said earlier in her life (When I die, I want Rev. Williams to preach my eulogy). That happens all the time.
Kevin Smith, White supremacy is the democratic party that wanted slaves, that wanted JimCrow, that wanted to keep black people from jobs, that wanted blacks in sub par housing, that want to break up the strong black families. This man is saying to Stop it and Stand up Wake up and #walkaway

so proud of him for standing on his laurels and standing his ground. GO AHEAD BLACK MAN
The only way you can bring about change sometimes is by bringing the pain and if you felt it was painful to you to hear what he said then maybe its time for YOU to make a change in your life and not be questioning what he said. He needed to say it and now I WILL SAY. Now that he is brought the pain will there ever be a change. Will we actually start to see a change?
Aretha Fraklin was a Civil Rights Activist.. I clearly see why she ask this Pastor to do her Eulogy... I loved it... Pastor Williams is very powerful...
@@narvelancoleman3813 .. I'm sorry , but I didn't take his Eulogy as insulting our black women.. We as black women sometimes wear our emotions on our sleeves.. We don't listen with a open mind, and a clean heart.. We are quick to judge the plain and simple truth.. Back in the 60s, people took pride & self diginity very serious.. Family love meant something...Pastor Jasper Williams said nothing wrong , or did nothing wrong.. People wasn't ready to hear the truth...
@B Coldhart .. Becuz what the Pastor Jasper Williams spoke about, was exactly what Aretha Franklin believed in...They were friends, and they believed in a great movement Civil Rights Activist .... The people that are making a mockery out of his Eulogy didn't get it.. His Eulogy came from 30 years of powerful knowledge, experience, etc..Remember Dr. Martin Luther King? Please watch the Eulogy again.. Then maybe u will understand it more , and see it differently..
@B Coldhart wow u the devil's favorite type easily fooled controlled and not to educated nor bright. You ain't got much of anything to offer but misery & contempt you must really be full of self hate, unhappy in & with your own life
He should have talked more about Aretha and addressed the family. What happens in the black neighborhoods is a social-political statement. What he said is correct, but that was not the place for it. Maybe after the funeral.
@B Coldhart when you quit looking at what the next moto is or isn't doing & begin to hold & govern yourself according.. Sam Cooke nor any of the rest of humanity will see that A Change Gunna Come. Why is it you rarely see anyone talk about the white folk who risked & gave of themselves, family and lives to move forward the injustices & civil liberties of colored ppl now (aka) African Americans. Not any other place in the world has suppressed or plighted the lives & black community more then the good ol U.S.A
your people are responsible for everything from ww2, The Holocaust, ww1, The American Indian genocide, the soon to come ww3, and right on down to the murder of Jesus Christ. You are just another case of 'the pot' calling the 'kettle' 'black'.
That is such a worn out phrase.....'we as black people simply don't want to look in the mirror!' You and He make it sound like ALL black people are worthless and going to hell in a hand basket....that our lives are not worth anything.....and that is NOT TRUE! NOT ME AND NOT MINE!!! Yes...these are social/racial issues that need to be addressed.....BUT NOT at Aretha's Homegoing Celebration! He was suppose to talk ONLY about her, what she stood for, what she contributed to the entire world; how dedicated and supportive she was of her family and friends; how she witnessed for the Lord Jesus Christ wherever she performed; and the joy she brought to others. The kind little things she did for people and didn't want any praise for doing them....because they came from her heart! Aretha knew what it was to be a single black mother raising black sons; yet he insults millions of other single black women who are doing the same...while standing there looking down on her casket! I know who Jasper Williams is....heard him preach at a church here some 30 plus years ago; and he was very powerful in the Word of God.....and that's where he should stay! I don't live in Detroit...but I haven't heard NOT one peep about what he's doing to try and turn things around for the Black Race....not one thing....I could be wrong.....and I hope I am....but if he is such a bad mama jama...surely we would've heard something on a national level about what he's trying to do to help.....instead of bad mouthing single black mothers.....and I am not talking about him just preaching about it....what actions has he taken!
to many people are hating on this man because they cant accept what he says as truth and cant look in the mirror and accept their faults. because they dont want to accept their faults and dont want someone to show them their faults.
BOISE BLACK how is he selling out black people and why is it that you have to call names simply because you disagree with what he is saying and you clearly do not understand. If you are so pro-black why not dialogue?
I thought that Aretha's funeral was NOT the time to preach to America. He should have had only a few minutes to say anything at all. He was wrong for doing what he did and the way he did it. k YES I'm an old black woman.
Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!! Impossible, for the gates of hell shall never prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!! Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! N
Well if he does....he should have allowed Jesus to show up in that eulogy! I have heard Jasper Williams preach some 30+ years ago here in Los Angeles; and he was very powerful in the Word of God.....and that's where he should Stay! Not pontificating about social/racial issues; and insulting single black mothers! He was wrong...this was NOT the occasion to do what he did. Yes...he spoke of issues that need to be addressed.....but NOT here! He was suppose to laud Aretha Franklin, and all the joy she brought to her family, friends and the entire world! This was NOT his platform! The Word of God says to 'do things decently and in order.' Insulting struggling, single black mothers was NOT DECENT AND IN ORDER!!!
@@narvelancoleman3813 The Queen herself dedicated alot of her own time resources & status into service and with love & deep from the depths of her SOUL to change, uplift, make a way & redefine the future for her ppl. That's why she never forgot her roots she was & remained a tried & true Detroiter. She cared about her community, her ppl and her beloved city. She was a true woman of God & a gift to all the world from God. Resting in Paradise There is power in the name of JESUS to break every chain. Regardless of your kinfolk was once shackled or not.
I don't see what he said that was wrong. Black people are just so blinded by integration and cant decipher independency, because of their reliance on vicrimhood. Black people are too emotional and it plays out everyday on social media because as a people we are complete immature when it comes to political speech, and revolutionary action, which is y we as a nation are still subjugated by people we want to love us while in the same sense giving each other nothing but selfhate.
As you were Reverend. Preach on. You are SPOT ON with every word you said. The continued "sitting on our hands" while nothing gets resolved has got to stop.
This pastor must ask God for wisdom. Wisdom to be a better messenger to the problem he and all of us have identified. If he preaches the gospel in the same way he talks down to his people who have a terrible problem, he is actually causing more souls to go to hell instead of receiving salvation. Sad!
I have been following Rev. Jasper Williams for many years, and and know he is a man of God. And his statement was/is well within meaning of this timing in life.
This is an awesome interview. Pastor Williams spoke with boldness!!! As a single black mother, I can learn a lot from his teachings that will really help me.
Be encourage Pastor Williams I sense your heart and you really want to help our community. May God bless you for standing in truth and speaking what needed to be said. The raw truth is not popular and most want the water down version of half truth. Preach to the living pastor!!
So totally out order, that was not the time nor the place for that kind of message! What does Black Lives have to do with the accomplishments of Aretha Franklin? "Appropriate?" to say what you wanted to say? What about what God wanted you to say? Wow, I know the family was not pleased with what you said. I thought the EULOGY was to speak of her accomplishments & achievements in life and to encouraged people to walk in the LIGHT! Funny how you felt that was the appropriate place and time to speak on Black lives. I haven't seen you at any demonstrations, street protest, meetings or any political or religious gathering to speak on Black Lives?? You should have exchanged cell numbers with Al Sharpton, because he does know how to appropriately speak at a eulogy! Pray and receive a WORD from the Lord, because when you speak on your own, God is not in that! To those who say good message, Yes, just the wrong service~
The Bible says *in the final days, good shall be considered bad and bad shall be considered good* same with the truth. This man speaks truth and the brain dead masses just ain’t ready for it
Aretha Franklin chose Pastor Jaspor Williams to deliver her eulogy , I think she knew he would bring to the attention of her people the importance of family , We as a people have forgotten about the high dysfuctional family ratio in our community compared to other communities. It is because of the break down in the family we have a higher provety rate , until we can understand and appreciate our own families , how can we blame other people for our neglect . when we can begin to heal our communities and come together as people fight together in the judicial sustem , and break down the the walls that have been built to separate us as a people , them we can bring healing and progress to our community, so many of our people are in prison and jail this has been one of the greatest strategies used to weaken the family unit, when you bind the strong man of the house you destroy the family . We must start to rebuild our families, begaining with our men . Our men think because they can have a women in ever county that makes them a man, no it makes you a coward, because its easier to run from place to place and not build a foundation for a stable family , you bring disrespect to the woman and her children, teaching them nothing , except your not worthy of my full devotion, so the example you have show them is one they posssible will continue on in their lives thinking this is a way of life. Rev. Jasper Williams said what needed to be heard, Aretha Franklin gave him the platform to do so, and who are we to speak about what he said in a negative why , oh yes some want to silence the truth about the communities we live in. Our people parish because of the lack of knowlege, never stop shinning light in the darkness that is leaving some struggling to raise children alone. When we look the other way at the problem, don't blame others for our own lack of respect for our people. Peace and Love to all.
Pastor JOB WELL DONE! FINALLY SOMEONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHAT NEEDED TO BE SAID OUT LOUD ON A NATIONAL PLATFORM. STAND FIRM. WE SUPPORT YOU. GOD BLESS YOU
This man has NOTHING to apologize for!! He spoke the unadulterated truth! I'm black and sometimes hang my head in shame about you black folks who refuse to hear truth just because it hurts.
Keep preaching and teaching the truth Pastor!! The devil is busy and as you know he will try to wear out saints in these last days. You didnt have to do a press conference, we are to teach/preach the "good news", Aretha wouldn't have asked you if she didnt believe you would pour out wisdom on the people. Let those who are offended take that up with God, well done Rev. Stay focused, the race is not over yet and we've got work to do, let's make it happen!!!
The truth don't need no defending ... his word spoke volumes..... the truth may hurt but acknowledgement of it is what will set us free.... much respect to this man.....
HALLELUJAAAAAAH!! I am not plugged into the church or for that matter, "religion". Pastor, if you are REALLY down wit da git down, let's git ta gitin!! Black women predominate Black churches so whatever help they (we) need in raising sons, should be a done deal through the church! I was outside the church and am only hearing your sermon now, on youtube. For the most part, you are certainly singing my song. As a Pan Africanist, you are soooo right. Do for self; so, how about the NOI, the church and the "people" JUST DO IT?! One challenge for me is your masculine pronouns. No one is perfect and I hope my comments are received in the love it is intended. BTW, I currently reside in Memphis, have been to Lucy Street and boy, does that street need help. Perhaps that could be a starting place and a great way to pay homage to the Queen and your family. Start with Lucy Street. Thank you for your strong words and sentiments and by the Grace of the Good Lord, your path and my path will cross. Take good care. Enjoy each day. Peace.
Now if you gon tell a story you have to go to the root. You can't be selective with stating some truths yet not all. It's the root! That he didnt speak about the system that destroyed the black family now Pastor Jasper has to know this, that cycle still perpetuate it's evilness right now. He has to know all people of other nationality get to get help funding to start businesses and blacks still haven't got our reparations. I'm very disappointed about his statement.wrong place to deliver that message.Period
Yeah, the system that women allowed to take the place of men in the household. The system that women stand by when wanting child support from a man who is willingly in most cases to raise his own children. The system that most women will use if yall don't get your way. The system that women will never abandon because it is a gateway to free paychecks. So, yeah Iets get to the root of the problem. Instead of sitting around waiting for reparations how about we use whatever income we have and save for our children to go to college, or invest in stocks, learn trades and build our own businesses, actually right now is the best time to get business loans if you're looking to build your own business. The only thing I hear is excuses as usual. The pastor pick a perfect time where blacks from all walks of life were present to address the issues of the black community. What would have been a better time if not during a funeral with thousands of black people were present??? smdh
God Bless you Pastor. Please don't back down, as a single mother YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!! We need men back in the homes, children need a father in the home. Good men, men who work, men who put God first, men who respect themselves, their wives and children! Men who want to better their community! I pray Jesus holds you close and protects you and your family as you do his work, let God's will be done. So respectful and you truly carried yourself with true GRACE!!
Never heard of Pastor Williams, but, I like him, I like his understanding and willingness to hear everyone's opinions old or young. I felt he spoke the truth as harsh as it came across to many, it was his truth, can't change that. I still like him he comes across as a Wise man-- Good for him. Be blessed All & the Good Pastor.
No need explaining yourself at all Reverend! Your sermon; eulogy was the best part of all those many hours. Thank you! How bitter TRUTH is to perverted hearts.
Sometimes we dont like to hear the TRUTH! Because It can cut to the core of our problems, hurts, pains, struggles, focuses, & lack of respect FOR ourselves, FROM others & FOR others!!!! What we are really missing here is LOVE in this world!!!For it"s LOVE that covers a multiple of sins!!! The answer is We need to go back to Jesus, not to men!!! There will always be mistakes & mess-ups with man!!! Pastor Jasper Williams -This is NOT only a race problem, this IS a world problem!!!
The Pastor spoke the truth our children need mentoring and positive role models, manners, a sense and knowledge of history, economics, It is time to turn around R E S P E C T. Let's do. this in every Church, neighborhood and NAACP Chapter and other organizations.The time and place to hear this message may be questionable but since the message is out plan and organize in every Church and. Organization.Jump to it.Many are willing to volunteer.
