It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Trump explicitly stated the U.S. will sell "large amounts of oil to other countries," including current customers like China.

It looks like this isn't about justice—it's a trillion-dollar grab for energy and minerals! #Venezuela #Oil #Gold #StayWoke #MoneyTalks

Alabama looks lost right now. Indiana is doing whatever they want. 17-0, lucky it’s not 47-0

They talk about corruption in Africa, but look at what happens here. Our government just froze millions in childcare funds for a whole state. Why? Because of a YouTube video targeting Somali Americans. That's not fighting fraud; that's blaming a whole community. Real leaders unite people. Not divide

In physics and in politics, you can’t push on something without getting pushed back. The push and the push-back happen at the same time, and they affect different people. When one country acts, it automatically creates reactions from others.

Let's listen to voices different from our own. When we do, we see a bigger picture of who God is and how God loves.

Think of theology like food. Every culture has its own recipes. None is "the only real food." We can enjoy them all!

All theology comes from a culture. No view is completely "neutral." Recognizing this helps us learn from each other instead of arguing.

This can make people from other cultures feel invisible. Their experiences and pain get overlooked. God sees everyone—our theology should too.

The problem? When white theology says it's the "right" way and ignores other perspectives. It's like saying only vanilla ice cream counts. But there are lots of flavors!

"White theology" means looking at God mainly through white experiences—and calling that "normal." But it's just one view, not the only one. Everyone has their own cultural lens!

The history that makes the books is written by the victors. The poor never were and never will be victorious in any version of history, and change comes so slowly that individual contributions are always lost in the great gradual tide. April White, An Urchin of Means (Baker Street, #1)

A Christology that can't speak to specific suffering isn't gospel—it's a museum piece. Black Jesus & Brown Church don't compete; they correct. The whole church needs both.

Pentecost didn't erase ethnicity; it exploded hierarchies. Brown & Black theologies gift the church: survival faith, borderland hope, prophetic rage. Listen or your gospel is incomplete.

Difference matters: Black theology claims Jesus as unambiguously Black, a counter-idolatry. Brown theology lifts mestizaje—Jesus as bridge, not monochrome. Both sanctify bodies empire tried to erase.

Black Jesus confronts chattel slavery & mass incarceration. Brown Church faces manifest destiny & deportation. Parallel struggles, same biblical nationalism. Both expose how "objective" theology blessed oppression.

Romero and Cone read the Bible from the bottom. Exodus isn't metaphor when you've crossed borders or been lynched. Same Spirit, different suffering. One gospel, many embattled witnesses.

Brown Church & Black Jesus both say: the white Christ was never neutral. Universalizing one culture's Jesus is idolatry. The real Jesus always stands with the oppressed—brown, black, and crucified by empire.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us."
