The above link is for an article by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson called the The Black Soul is Dead and We are to Blame. It's rather depressing to think about but I think he may be right.

I was in Wal-Mart just after Christmas when I walked past a group of black women with several children. One black woman asked another, "So where is her daddy at?", referring to the baby girl the other was holding. The woman replied, "Oh, he in jail." matter of factly. This story is repeated by a million times. How can things ever change when children are being raised in such a manner? It's too hopeless to even think about.

Indeed...


The Black Soul is Dead and We Are to Blame
By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

--Deuteronomy 28:15, 18-20

The soul of the black community is dead.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; a fire still burns in those very few who have clung to the values of old, but our days as a people of character, unshakeable spirit, and respectability are, for all intents and purposes, dead. Though I had long been pained at what I perceived to be the gradual decline of the black community, it donned on me in recent months that the dismal and prolonged downturn of my people had greatly accelerated. Tonight I again take survey of my brethren; spiritually, we are no more.

This revelation knocked the wind out of me. It had been largely to the purpose of helping blacks wake up and see the error of their ways that I committed myself to some 13 years ago. I thought then that, though blacks had already fallen so far, there was a great chance to overcome. But with this new realization I now sat motionless, wondering if the battle had been lost, if we had eternally surrendered. Or if there was hope.

After an internally tumultuous and spiritually troublesome wait, an answer came on this question. It went as follows:

I saw the death of Jesus Christ. I saw the death of the black soul. I saw the miraculous resurrection of Christ. And therein, I saw the glimmer of hope. The only hope of the black community is for a resurrection of miraculous proportions. Blacks of today must atone for the sins of our fathers to command the mercy and love that would precipitate such a resurrection.

A daunting task this is. Whereas Christ died with a holy nature, the black soul has died in the gallows of weakness and immorality. A representative snapshot of the black community today:

Seventy percent of black babies born out of wedlock has lent itself to an epidemic of fatherlessness. The black woman carries no respect for a man of such weakness and harbors perpetual hatred for this man who bedded, and then abandoned, her. The father's absence made the mother the influential figure to the family. But her anger toward the man who left her is so great that she cannot be a positive influence. The black youth is victimized by his mother's dominant hatred. With no father as a figure of guidance and respect, the child can't help but yield to this force of darkness.

So the young black man comes to what he is today-incidentally a perfect representation of the overall downfall of the black community. No direction. No drive. No soul. Generally today, young black men carry with them no sense of responsibility to be productive, no aversion to undisciplined behavior, nor any indication that they can overcome the sin into which they're born. Rather than work and strive to move up in the world, they opt to abuse drugs, chase women, and act like immature fools.

Usually when one is born into dire circumstances he is accompanied by a sense of desperation to succeed. He innately feels that he must work hard, harder than all those around him just to be able to survive. The young black man of today feels none of this. His focus is on his next joint. The emasculation of the young black man by the dominant black women has destroyed this drive. His innate sense now is to lust after a woman. In doing so, the black man is forever subject to "momma."

Meanwhile, young black girls do as their mothers do and adopt the same vicious, emasculatory techniques. Thus a cycle perpetuates. With few strong examples of God's commandments among black men, unprecedented destruction nears.

Not all of the members of the black community are like this-but this is, sad to say, an accurate representation of the evil that has taken hold of black America. This outright rejection of God by the black community has so angered Him that, I believe, He has decidedly pulled the plug on our people. Spit in God's face, and, well, he let's you do so, but from hereon you're on your own.

The penance that the black community is going to have to pay to regain God's favor is incalculable. Ever since the black community began viciously forsaking God in the early sixties, all the plague and curse spoken of in Deuteronomy has come to pass. The dawn of the civil rights movement was the dawn of unprecedented sin in the black community. This forty-year history of unconstrained sin began with the black man's weakness in letting women take over, therein committing an outright insult of God.

God ordained a spiritual order of God in Christ, Christ in man, man over woman, and woman over children. Black men have lost their connection with Christ and in their weakness, women have become the head of the temporal realm. This is a violation of God's established order and will never work. This violation has reached such epic proportions that black women today are not only in charge of the home, but they hold great power in public schools and are now becoming the head of the black church! It is because black men refuse to be strong and speak against this that God has seemingly let the black community go. So far lost have we become that it is going to require a huge step up by black men to regain God's blessing.

Just a few men stepping up will not absolve this sin. Many will have to come forward prepared to sacrifice greatly to rediscover our once sacred relationship with Him. We all know by now that none of our leaders will lift a finger to this end. They have made it clear that their sole purpose is to push us farther downward, all the while taking satisfaction in their growing power and wealth. Therefore we must self-mobilize. We no longer have leaders to rely upon-we have only ourselves. So great is the demoralization in the black community, particularly among young black men, that it will take a great many of us in an unparalleled effort over an indefinite time frame if we have any hope.

I once heard Mel Gibson say in a movie, "I have long feared that my sins would come back to visit me, and the cost is more than I can bear." Well those sins have come back to visit the black community with a vengeance, and the cost may be more than we can bear. But at least out of respect for the values we once held dear and the strength we once had as a people, we are obligated to attempt with all our hearts to regain that ideal, or die trying. We must now forget all our petty angers, our weaknesses, and our unfounded rage and come forward prepared for the great penance that lies ahead. And we must do so without self-pity.

After all, the black soul is dead and we ourselves are to blame.

Believe it or not,some kids actually become MORE determined to overcome adversity when faces with family tragedy and neglect.In fact,I know some "ghetto"kids who are now quite the achievers and some white kids from "nice"families who are pissing away their lives.
Yet It is undeniably true that a stable family life IS a great asset.

Thanks, I've read it. It is indeed very powerful. And I have also heard such conversations.

I too used to feel the same as you until my husband and I bought a house back in 1994. The first day that we were here, a black family came over with a basket of goodies to welcome us to the neighborhood. Over the next few days I saw my other neighbors as well and more than half were African American couples with children the same age as our son. I especially became good friends with an African American couple who had four children....In fact, my husband and I became the godparents of their last child (only girl). I am sad to say that my good friend died back in March of 2000 and it was so hard to see the kids after that but somehow that feeling has past and now I am in charge of getting them off to school in the morning. My problem now is figuring out how to do the little girls (Jillian)hair......

I just wish that the people who consider the high percentage of black inmates as a sign of institutional racism would reflect on who their victims are, predominantly. These inmates are mostly young black men, and their victims are mostly other young, black men. Letting the prisoners walk out of a misguided effort for racial comity will result in more black victims, not fewer. Qui bono?

Thanks for the re-post. The moral disarmament of blacks that the Welfare Revolution achieved, and the consolidation of that disarmament, through the political alliance of black women and white feminists (never mind that the former despise the latter) have been so complete, that many folks today never knew, or have completely forgotten, any time of black self-reliance. Such conditions (under the Welfare Revolution) have been the most powerful cause of the belief so common among blacks and whites alike, that blacks are innately inferior to the other races.

this is why koreans can move in to the asshole of any city and prosper, though they be minority, perhaps speak little if any english, have next to no school, and no social / government support, sometimes by social choice (they don't trust gubermint, so they don't want no hep).

damn. socialists have so manipulated the majority of city black folk. they get their votes, and the blacks continue to spiral down the toilet, happy. and the murderous commie bastards walk on, smiling.

a pretty whacked beanie friend of mine told of infiltrators in the nam jungle who would wear vests - bands of bamboo strips tied vertically on their chest cage - who would assault his stand - standing up - taking fire - and die grinning while emptying every shot they had in their ak.

the bamboo would do nothing to improve their survival... but it would keep their guts on board long enough to continue the assault and empty their mags against the Americans.

well, maybe i see an analogy.

And so can African Negros. Race and color of skin has nothing to do with it. Attitude does.

agree absolutely. one of my finest friends during engineering school was a Christian from what is now Nigeria.

he, with his doctorate, now heads a nuclear regulatory agency for a large western state.

he once confided in me, a regular western white cowboy redneck, that he hates American blacks... that when they approached him and "ax - waz happenin?" he wanted to flay them. he'd been shot seven times by russian rifles supplied to the nigerian army by brittish money to fight his people, the biafrans, i believed him about the flaying thing.

dogs of war. damn. he's a millionaire on his own merits here.

I have heard many African blacks complain of abuse at the hands of urban American blacks. And some of them were from Amadou Diallo's country of Guinea. But when Diallo was killed, all of a sudden, American blacks all over the New York area used him as a surrogate for themselves.

Something all the african americans in NYC always conveniently forget. There were more police shooting by NYPD officers on african americans under David Dinkins then there were under Guiliani. In fact, in one year under Dinkins, something like 40 african americans were killed by cops. There was never a year under Rudy that ever, even came remotely close and yet they villanize Rudy and loved Dinkins. (I had kids in my class in college who believed anytime a politican talked about cutting down on crime it was code for persecuting african americans. I never understood that, not even to this day).

...their boundless hatred for whites, and the surge of self-esteem they receive, every time they succeed in encouraging a young black to "stick it to the man." Millions of black adults have found such self-indulgence more important than facing the fact that they are pushing ever more young black men down the path to prison. Perhaps black adults feel that if they push hard enough, no blacks will be incarcerated, no matter what crimes they commit.

There may come a point where the criminal justice system breaks down, but I think it unlikely that it will result in criminals gaining immunity. It's more likely that it will result in a "take no prisoners" response from the middle-class with their backs against the wall

I don't think they were interested in the truth. They just knew that Giuliani was white, and Dinkins was black. Hence, they hated Giuliani.

After Benjamin Ward and Lee Brown served as police commissioner, a great many New York blacks simply decided that the NYPD was a black franchise, never again to be led by a white.

And then, when David Dinkins was elected mayor, they decided that the mayoralty was also a black franchise, as if NYC were "Chocolate City." And so, when Giuliani beat Dinkins in their 1993 rematch, in the closest election in NYC history, they hated Giulaini with a consuming passion. Al the talk about his "policies" and "police shootings" was beside the point. Note that the hatred was loud and public, before the man was so much as inaugurated.

(I had kids in my class in college who believed anytime a politican talked about cutting down on crime it was code for persecuting african americans. I never understood that, not even to this day).

This sounds like the story the Democrats concocted after Nixon's 1968 victory, and have repeated ever since, claiming that the president who was the father of affirmative action crafted a racist, "Southern strategy," whereby "law-and-order" was a code word for putting blacks in their place. Although I'm no Buchananite, Pat Buchanan recently wrote a brilliant article debunking the "Southern strategy" myth.
