The Making of A Great America Uprooting the Spirit of Racism

synopsis

Synopsis

This book is a sequel to “The Making of A Great America Where the Founding Fathers and the Church Fell Short.” In this book I assert that the first step to uprooting the spirit of racism is acknowledging its existence and continued operation as part of Satan’s plan in the earth “to steal, kill and to destroy.” The spirit of racism can no longer be denied or winked at in ignorance by the body of Christ. I believe acquiescence to the spirit of racism is America’s defining sin from the time of the Founding Fathers to the present day. I have dedicated this book to exposing the manifestation, the operation of the spirit of racism in America with the aim of uprooting it. My prayer is that Christians in America who have been blinded to its operation will stand against it in prayer, in word and in deed. Although this book is available in paperback, I have included links to very powerful video clips. If the reader doesn’t view the clips in conjunction with the text, the intended impact will be greatly diminished. It was one thing to mentally assent to the death or an unarmed man or child, or the death of a person in a routine traffic stop. This book provides links to footage of these types of things and as such is not recommended for young teens without parental supervision.

Deadly Driving: Driving with an Air Freshener

Several days ago, I was getting my car detailed, and I was looking at things to buy for the car. I finally bought a hands-free holder for my cell phone. I looked at the Christmas tree air fresheners and remembered this story from my book about a case in Arizona where I used to live and decided against it. Days later, a black man in Minnesota was stopped for having one of these, and it cost him his life. The distinction of “black man” is important. It is part of a systemic relationship or pattern of policing that black people face. How many of my white friends have to think twice about buying an air freshener because of the negative attention that it might attract from the police. It is part of the systemic disparities that the Trump administration said did not exist. It is precisely because the Trump administration said that these systemic differences did not exist that a young man could lose his life in the same state, in the same community where George Floyd died. The tremendous outpouring in support of George Floyd’s death means nothing if the underlying systems of how police view and treat black people, black motorists, does not change.

Book Excerpt

The Making of A Great America Uprooting the Spirit of Racism

This is an excerpt from the chapter: "A Day in the Life"

While Driving with an Air Freshener (Oct 2019) (ABC15 Arizona, 2019)

In this video, the officer claims he is stopping the driver because of his Christmas tree air freshener. The officer says that it is illegal to have anything hanging from your rearview mirror but then goes on for over 30 mins to grill him about drugs, make him take a sobriety test, and then accuse him of lying about drug use.
