On January 30th, 2025, a tragic aviation accident occurred involving an Army helicopter and an American Airlines commercial airliner, resulting in the loss of sixty-seven lives. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Shawn Duffy, secretary of transportation, and other cabinet officials ungodly referred to diversity, equity, and inclusion as factors potentially involved in the airline tragedy. What an ungodly shame, politicking about accidental deaths is about as demonic as it gets. America, never forget racism drives individuals insane. The Army helicopter pilots were White, and the two American Airline pilots were White, the air traffic controller was probably White. Therefore, can we conclude that White Privilege Incompetence is responsible for the deaths? America, there’s nothing political about death, including the individuals operating the planes. Every person eventually passes away, regardless of their socio-economic status or racial identity. Death is a universal divine appointment that does not respect socio-economic statuses and should not be politicized. There are no exceptions regardless of skin-tone, sex status, or socio-economic statuses, because: “as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9: 27a). More importantly, eternal Godly Judgment is also color blind. Seeking to blame Blacks as well as other permanent tan minorities for an airline crash by decrying and claiming DEI is absolutely the epitome of devilish thinking. President Trump should never speak disparagingly concerning the issue of individuals receiving employment opportunities based upon skin-color. Take a long hard self-introspective look at Trump’s governing cabinet selections; White Privilege Personified. Trump’s initial Attorney General selection, Matt Gates, was so intellectually and morally unqualified that some Republicans had to openly oppose. Racism is the epitome of desiring something for nothing. No doubt about it, President Trump has surrounded himself with a gang of White Privilege Appointments who are spiritually and morally broken, seeking something for nothing. Therefore, they will do Trump’s retribution bidding. However, America fret not evil doers, because: “Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20: 15). The real battle is spiritual, between God and the devil. This is why, the battle is not yours (ours); but God’s, we simply need to spiritually learn how to hold our peace and allow God to get the victory, glory, honor and the power.
America, especially Black people, spiritually hold your peace and fret not evil doers. Once again, politicizing death is as ungodly as it gets. Spiritually supporting families who lost loved ones is the right thing to do. Therefore, no doubt about it, hate did not make America great. America’s foundational strength is encapsulated in its constitutional documents, significantly supported by slave labor, which helped construct essential infrastructure, including The White House (Benjamin Banner, Mathematician). America, God will fight for the righteous, and God always triumphally wins, because: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalm’s 24:1). President Trump has only one governing objective, and that is to create the personalization of the federal treasury for himself, and the billionaires that bought The Presidency for him. Death reminds us that God’s truth prevails: “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.” (Ephesians 4: 25). God’s love is total, and it is spiritually written: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Hallelujah! Let’s not fool ourselves most Whites have never desired an open-based color-blind occupational merit-based system, and institutional racism is the empirical evidence. Once again, racism is the epitome of desiring something for nothing.

As September 13th rolls around, we extend our warmest birthday wishes to the creative powerhouse, Tyler Perry, a man whose indomitable spirit and groundbreaking work have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. With his multifaceted talents as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, producer, and director, Tyler Perry has not only entertained but also inspired audiences worldwide, particularly within the African-American community, where his influence and role have been nothing short of powerful. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1969, Tyler Perry’s journey to stardom was a path riddled with adversity. Raised in a turbulent household, he found refuge in writing, using it as a therapeutic outlet. This period of introspection gave rise to one of his most iconic creations, Madea, a vivacious, no-nonsense grandmother who would later become a beloved figure in Perry’s works, offering a unique blend of humor and profound life lessons. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rejection and financial struggles, Perry’s determination and unwavering belief in his abilities propelled him forward. In 1992, he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” which, although met with limited success, was a pivotal moment in his career. Unfazed by initial setbacks, Perry continued to hone his craft, and by 1998, he had successfully produced a string of stage plays that showcased his storytelling prowess.
