Anti-Slavery Day

Jan 22, 2008 00:36


On MLK Jr's holibirthday celebrating what he did for those with colorful
skin.. one has to wonder what all the christian "blacks" have to say about there very humble bible condoning slavery?  Was the "white" man wrong in following the very bible so many hold near and dear today?  I referenced the following:

Exodus 21:7
"If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do."

Exodus 21:2
"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment."

Ex 21:7-37 is a bunch of "laws" for Maidservants.  These "laws" are abided by many blindly without actually questioning there reading materials and many who dont even read.  The white man has surely "destroyed" the black man, but they were taught to do so by the ultimate law of the land.  God's Law.

So the next time you are bitching that "I" owe you something because my skin pigment is white, I am merely gonna ask if you are a christian and if so, STFU.  Actually I will say that either way cause I know damn well I do not have any slaves and I sure as hell did not enslave YOU.

Was MLK Jr a Christian?  Did he denounce his faith like he denounced his "oppressors"?  Makes you really wonder about religion does it not?

If you want to taste a bit of a wake up call, read Leviticus.  Seriously.

Slavery is bad, even when condoned by the "Word of God" no matter how you shape it.  Period.
