Could you please forgive us

Those Black Americans who read this could you please forgive my ancestors if there be any for the pain and suffering they inflicted on your ancestors even today? Thanks your brother in Christ.

And while you're busy with ancesteral atonement and forgiveness, could you get on your knees and THANK GOD EVERY DAY that you're fortunate enough to be in America?

Admitting all the evils of slavery and abuse of the Indians, for which God judged this nation, can you still thank God you're not in Africa, killing and eating everybody who doesn't belong to your tribe or village? Can you thank God that America has given you the opportunity for a better life? Even if you're poor in America, you're living better than 99% of the people in Africa!

Can you thank God you're not moving place to place in a teepee, exposed to the sport of the whims of nature to such an extent that your life expectancy is only 35? Can you thank God that instead of worshipping various demons, you can learn about Jesus Christ....ALL THANKS TO THE EUROPEANS?

I owe no one an apology, much less do I feel it necessary to ask for forgivenes for something I didn't do. I am 27 years old, I was born into a world of Equal Opportunity employment, Affirmative Action (which I am not "qualified" for), NAACP and their discriminatory scholarships, etc. The civil rights movement had already happened and everyone was allowed to go to the same schools, restrooms and water fountains. But, everything that the Dr. worked for is reversing itself. Do you think my child would be safe if he/she tried to attend an inner city school with predominantly AA students? What about the "poets" that write songs about hatred, sex, drugs, murder, violence, crime?

Our country has given so much to those whose families were oppressed. If you still have a problem, take it up with the government, I owe you nothing.

I am so thankful that I even have an opportunity to ask forgiveness in a somewhat free country. I have to act on what God is putting on my heart. If we are to be forgiven we must ask God to forgive us and our imperfectness no matter what it is or was. This sets us free and allows the Holy Spirit to give these people an opportunity to forgive us and then God has an open door to their heart, not that he it had already! Think how powerful forgiveness really is and what it can do! Are we in this thing for mans pleasure or Gods? Are we here to gather souls or sit on our assets and let it gather dust? The father knows his sheep and sometimes even though we do not understand everything he asks us to do are we to do it or not do it for his glory?

I am not Jewish take this example! What would happen if the German people were to ask forgiveness!!!!!!!

You don't even know if you have any past relatives that caused anyone any pain and you're asking me to forgive them.

Come on.....stop whipping yourself.....or at least stop doing it in public.

It's not me you have to answer to.

Yes our nation has given everything to these people except one thing, they never ask for forgivness.

Forgivness goes a long way, think about it!

Man

There may not even be anyone in my past ancestory that did anything. God is leading me to do this and It will be done as he speaks to me. This will land on hearing ears and the deaf will mock it.
