White Reparations & Black Forgiveness

White folks and Black folks both have a big problem, but until White America makes reparations to Black people for chattel slavery their guilt will remain. And until Black folks forgive White folks for chattel slavery our ill feeling about it and them will never end.

This is why White folks do not want the truth of Chattel slavery (critical race theory) taught in our schools. It reminds them of their unconfessed/unrecompensed sin and that is what hurts. They didn't even give us the 40 acres and mule they promised us, they even renigged on that promise of reparations as well.

The Lord Jesus said in 1st John 1:9 "if we confess our sin He will forgive us our sin and cleanse our unrighteousness."

But If we do not confess our sin to Him for what we have done our guilt and condemnation remain.

This is what the Lord Jesus wants to see White America do for the Black folks in America they wronged by not making restitution to them for Chattle slavery. This is how it's done. Luke 19:8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, "I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!"9 Jesus responded, "Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham.

So White America, if you want peace from the guilt and condemnation of the past do the right thing and Jesus will heal and forgive and remove the stain of guilt and condemnation of unconfessed/unrecompensed sin just like He did for Zacchaeus.

Now on the other hand Black people must forgive White folks for the sin of chattel slavery. Jesus said in Matthew 18:35 "That's what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart."

So if Black folks want to remove their ill feelings about slavery and those that enslaved us we must forgive them from our hearts. In this world, we may never get the justice we seek through our court systems or Government. But know this the Lord Jesus Christ filled with Justice and Righteousness He will make it right even if the world or our government never does. He has and will continue to bless our race to overcome.

So, this is what needs to happen, White folks need to approach the Lord Jesus for the power to do what's right and make reparations to Black folks for the evils of chattel slavery, and then and only then will the Lord Jesus hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their guilt-ridden consciences.

And Black folks need to approach the Lord Jesus and ask for the ability to forgive White folks for the evils of chattel slavery and their failure to make reparations to Black folks as they have done others. Then Jesus will hear from heaven and heal their wounded hearts.

If America wants to truly become the United States then America will have to do what is right in the Lord Jesus' sight and make reparations to Black folks and Black folks must find in their hearts to forgive them and then we can truly be the United Staes of America. Until we both do that we are faking like we are United as one country.

Peace to all my Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus of every race.
