UIMD: Who You Are is Who They Are Not

UI Meme of the Day, a daily series…

***

This is a mixed two-part meme repping the Male and Female side of a controlled conversation.

There is a saying … “Believe people when they SHOW you who they are.”

There is a much bigger story to grasp here than just some simple-minded “ratchet” male or female who is ‘acting up’ in the streets or at home or in church or school, or even on social media pipelines.

The Thief cometh not but for to steal, kill and destroy.” If you don’t read the Bible and don’t plan to, it’s still in there – John 10:10. Check it for yourself.

Everyone knows that there are certain control-ridden racists and garden variety murderers all over the nation stealing from, killing and destroying Black people and American citizens, most of them by reason of skin color alone. That is rightly defined as The Thief that this scripture refers to.

We understand the nature of a Thief, his actions and motives, and we are well within our rights to call him the devil incarnate, because he is what he is and he proves it by his own actions — a part of his own mental malfeasance.

But there is another part to that — “But I have come so that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.”

Black people are created beings.

The enemies of our souls, on the other hand, do not come from the beginnings of creation or the heartsong of the Earth. They are what can rightfully be referred to as Planet Bastards whose own self-instigated fears are wreaking havoc on the lives of everyone else.

They seem to be well aware that science, history, the cosmos, and the scriptures are against them and they need to know that their own reign of terror on Earth is coming up short and about to end. Soon.

They have no other purpose for living and no other destiny except the one they’ve brought upon themselves by their own jealousies and fears.

Your presence is a reminder of who they are NOT.

They have hated you for My Name’s sake … Matthew 10:22; Matt. 24:9

When we bow down to it or cater to it by conceding that they are always right and we are always wrong, we give in to it and encourage it to continue. It is an admission of guilt for something of which they are guilty. When we kowtow to it, we beg pardon to stay on a planet that was a gift to our ancestors and on which they truly do not belong.

When this enemy comes to remind us of the past, it is our duty and our responsibility to remind them of their future.

Our existence coincides with eternity, as it was from The Beginning. If we do not know who we are, and show them who we are, The Thief -as identified above- will continue to rule and lord it over all of us; yet and still …

That is not their natural position in this world, and the sooner they get that -the sooner WE get it- the better for us all.

How much more do they need to tell us about what they are?

Black Women: Show us who YOU are.

Black Men: Show them who WE are.
