Probably the nastiest comment on his twitter was from the fellow African American, who sneered at him: “Moved from the field to the house, huh?”
Yeah, with “friends” like that, this guy certainly doesn’t need any more enemies. Message is loud and clear that you are NOT allowed to think for yourself.

This statement tells it all. Heard a Smithsonian speaker on the way slaves were chosen to be in “the house” vs “the field”. His theory was those chosen for the house were those that “seemed more intelligent and docile in manner”.
His theory based on records showed that slaves from Eastern Africa ( think Ethiopian Christians) we’re familiar with biblical names, stories, and early hymns and therefore were therefore more easily assimilated into life in the house. We have two people groups with a common religious background although two totally different languages.
He contrasted this with slaves from north and west Africa who were tribal in nature with a multitude of beliefs, many different languages as well as grouped with enemies on the ships. Much more violence, these were free and independent people groups unwilling to be enslaved.
Again contrast this with the Christian slaves who knew that God works all for good according to His purpose and the example of the 400 years of slavery of the children of Israel. How could they know their current circumstances were not part of Gods plan for them.
This background also helps one see the 180 out actions between the peaceful citizens that seek positive change for actual or perceived wrongs in America vs those that seek violent overthrow of a system they see that is stacked against them systematically.
Perhaps the issue is simply one of a Christian Worldview vs a Hedonistic Worldview. Perhaps the real answer for our time is prayer and revival in our land.
Just food for thought for a thinking people.
