We already have structure. African American culture is a church-based culture. 87% to 91% of African Americans self-identify as Christian. We have an expansive, multi-denomination church network that has delivered us from slavery, from illiteracy, from poverty, from Jim Crow law, from red lining, from the back of the bus, and from "separate-but-equal.' Black church membership cooperation gave us the right to vote, Wall Street and the many other all-Black towns. Black church leaders created the Historically Black College & University network. We already biblical code of conduct for every aspect of our lives. These are he codes that the overwhelming majority of African American already adhere to. Just come "out of the streets" clean up your lives and join them.
@RaymondBrown... we do not have a solid moral structure... and the structure we use to have (as you mentioned) was based on a caucasian understanding called christianity which is based on "GRACE"... and even with our "GRACE" version of caucasian christianity yes!! we have SURVIVED oppression... like you pointed out.."WE HAVE AN EXPANSIVE, MULTI-DENOMINATION CHURCH NETWORK THAT HAS DELIVERED US FROM SLAVERY, FROM ILLITERACY, FROM POVERTY, FROM JIM CROW LAW, FROM RED LINING, FROM THE BACK OF THE BUS, AND FROM "SEPARATE-BUT-EQUAL.' BLACK CHURCH MEMBERSHIP COOPERATION GAVE US THE RIGHT TO VOTE, WALL STREET AND THE MANY OTHER ALL-BLACK TOWNS. BLACK CHURCH LEADERS CREATED THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY NETWORK"... however..."Black church leaders" still have not OVERCOME our oppression.. todays "Black church leaders" have not defeated our enemies... which is supposed to happen when you follow the moral structure in Torah..."Black church leaders" have not kept us unified in a world of chaos!!
We have no structure if it isn't working for us. The "church" structure we need has to be within the household: Parent to child to sibling(s) and establish the heirarchy, expectations, responsibilities, effort, merits, incentives and even rewards. Hell, these are the things you'd need in order to build a nation. You cannot go rebelling/warring/conquering if there is nothing worth fighting for at the end. That goes right back to structure: Who will be in charge, how will people live and who gets what in a new society.
@@TheCulture..Since1971 First, your lack of respect for Black spiritual intellect blinds you. The Holy Bible is not a "Caucasian" produced entity. Secondly, the growth of the American Black church denominations and network grew out of isolation from and separation from mainstream white denominations. It is the reason that Black Christian customs, creations, and codes of conduct are different than all other who identify themselves as Christian. Our 400+ years if worship music is the source for all American genres of popular culture music that has been created by those who come out of our church culture. Thirdly, it is not the job of church leaders to "overcome our oppression." It is their job to teach us as "soldiers in the army of The Lord" to boldly fight oppression - which is the brave and valiant history of each Black church denomination. The people inside our church culture are "unified" and achieving and advancing. It is the unsaved anti-Christ people outside the church that are wreaking havoc on the civilized Black majority.
@@Mr.Taylor56 If you function outside of the structure, how can you expect that it will work for you? If you are rebellious against submission to God's authority and reject His Word, His Will, and His way, you are subject to the rotten fruit of your own rebellion. The Word of God says, "You can tell a tree by the fruit that it bears."
@RaymondBrown... that's a lie... there is NO "lack of respect" for "Black spiritual intellect"..and I never said .."THE HOLY BIBLE IS A "CAUCASIAN" PRODUCED ENTITY"... your making up stuff.. what I said is.... our christian church IS based on a caucasian understanding of the scripture and a caucasian understanding of who Yashua/Jesus was...regardless of how "isolated" you think our churches may have been... the interpretation and understanding of our christian churches all came from Caucasians...which is why many of our christians are STILL WAITING for a caucasian image of Jesus to come out the sky and save them... but when you actually read the scripture you will see Yashua was predicting things in HIS GENERATION Matthew 24:34......not 2000 years later... Yashua kept the 7th day on what we now call "Saturday"... but our churches follow SUNDAY as the 7th day from the romans catholics...Yashua never ate pork/swine...neither did his students.... why so many of our christians don't follow how Jesus lived?? why so many of our christian men are not imitating Jesus lifestyle? its because they follow a distorted perception of scripture guiding by caucasians!!
