Letter to the BLM People
From the Heart of America
Please print and freely share this.
I hope it’s not too presumptuous of me to speak for the Heart of America, with the wisdom I've gained from experience. I feel I must. I hope this reaches the heart of all who are involved in the BLM revolution and all who support it and the entire "black" race and all other American citizens. I do not like to separate people with the "white" and "black" titles, but I will do it here for the sake of making a point to those who do. I feel that the core problem behind the BLM crisis is something that all citizens should become aware of, because it has made it far worse than it naturally would have been.* But there has also really been a severe racism problem in America, which I address in this letter. This is copyrighted but it may be printed and freely shared as long as no changes are made to it and credit is not taken for its creation. (A previous web posting of this letter was altered by someone who infiltrated either the computer I was using or the web site I used. Please disregard it and use this one.)
Dear BLM people,
You matter. I Love you. You have always mattered and I have always loved you. I have not loved you perfectly in every single little incident, but overall I have loved you well. I am proud of the freedom I created for your race when I abolished slavery over a century ago. Many lives were lost in that "white" fight for "blacks" to gain freedom from slavery, but it was worth it. You were worth the sacrifices. You have always mattered to me. I feel sad that some of you do not seem to realize this.
Some of you are direct descendants from "black" people who were slaves and my heart goes out to those of you who were. Tears well up when I think of the cruelties that were inflicted by the ignorance, greed and heartlessness, which existed in the group of people who wanted to use "black" people for free labor so that they could either get rich or stay rich. Many of those who were their slaves, were not in better conditions after slavery was abolished and some were even worse off. This is so sad. Those who didn't want their slaves to be free, lashed out at them and it took a long time for their vicious cruelties to be stopped. I'm so sorry that some of your ancestors experienced that. Though this happened long ago, the damage done to many was so severe that unhealed wounds from it still exist today. Perhaps I could have done more to help the newly freed slaves to heal. Perhaps I should have either shipped them all back to their home country where they might have been able to heal more completely. Perhaps I should have done more to teach them new trades and social skills, so that their integration into my societies could have been easier for them and other people. Perhaps I should have pulled them out of the southeastern communities, where most of them had been slaves, and delivered them to safe communities throughout the rest of America, directly after I set them free. I guess "hind sight is always twenty twenty" and we learn as we go. If I could go back to that time, with the wisdom I've gained since then, I surely would do a lot more for them and also for the "white" people who were being hurt for being what that group called, "nigger lovers."
I feel sad for those of you who stayed stuck in poverty and/or in the pain, fear and resentment that grew from the unhealed wounds and was passed down through the generations in your families, churches and neighborhoods. Since the abolishment of slavery, the integration of "black" people, into my societies has happened very slowly, for many reasons. Since you acquired freedom and the same job opportunities that other races have had, it has still been difficult for some of you to move out of the poor neighborhoods, where many of you congregated, and into better jobs and better living conditions. I have not known what to do for you, other than making free education easier for you to obtain and requiring large businesses to hire at least a certain percentage of you. I want to do more for those of you who remained stuck. I'm working on it and this letter is part of it. You do matter. You have always mattered.
Although many of you remained stuck in poverty, many of you have thrived, because you have had the same opportunities as "white" people. Many of you became business owners, land owners, carpenters, politicians, actors and actresses, laborers, musicians, doctors, nurses, lawyers, authors, athletes, singers, song writers, poets, farmers, judges, law enforcement officers, waitresses and waiters...etc. Many of you succeeded with aims for acquiring a lot of money, because opportunities for this have also been as abundant for you as they are for others. Many of you rose up to be among America's famous people, like Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jackson and Charlie Pride and Diane Warwick and Tina Turner and Bill Cosby and MLK and Borack Obama and cute little "Webster" and too many others to list here. Some of you even used these opportunities to share your inner gifts and hearts and touched other hearts around the whole world. I have been so proud of you.
However, I now realize that education and job opportunities and money were not nearly all that you needed. Healing from the past is what many of you have needed most. And I want to help you to heal - to release your pain and fear and anger and realize that you truly do matter just as much as "white" people and that you are now as safe here as they are, and have been for a very long time. I feel sad that so many of you do not seem to realize this. Things are not the way that many of you perceive them to be and I beg you to look past your perceptions and beliefs and read this with your hearts.
Many of you are victims of various types of brain washings,* some of which has been passed down from the old wounds. The slavery, and the cruelties that were delivered in its aftermath, built a lot of fear and resentment against the "white" race. It is totally understandable that the victims of slavery had blamed the "white" race, back then. Many of them (possibly most) probably never knew that the vast majority of our "white" race wanted them to be free and safe, because they only knew the communities they had been enslaved in and remained in. But you are not them and now is not then and I hope you realize that those who were responsible for what happened to some of your ancestors, were a group of people whose hearts were blocked by greed...etc. They were not even close to being the majority of the "white" race in America. The slavery era was not a "whites" against the "Blacks" thing. The "white" race is not the KKK and America is not the KKK. The vast majority of the "white" race in America was always against the slavery and abuse, which is why it was stopped. I love you. I have always loved you.
It would be fair for you to blame those cruelties on the group of people who performed them. It would be fair for you to blame them on greed and heartlessness and cruelty, because that is what did it. But it’s not fair to blame the "white" race. The sort of greed and heartlessness and cruelty, that hurt some of your ancestors, has existed in every race, including the "black" race, and has manifested in various ways around the world. It’s actually not a race thing - it’s a human condition that some people acquire. Blaming our whole "white" race for what a group of people did is not fair and is actually extremely racist. This unfair blaming of the "white" race has been growing instead of diminishing in a lot of the "black" race. I have witnessed this, within the past couple decades, in "black" gatherings. There is some racism in all races, including the "white" race. People are not perfect. But the truth is that the severe racism that exists in America is actually in the "black" people who are against "white" people or "the others", which is what some of you call them in the gatherings. And this problem, instead of being faced and stopped, is now being projected onto the "white" race. This projection of the racism problem has become so severe that it is now being called "systemic racism" in the "white" race. This has never existed in our white race, but it does exist in our "black" race. This may be difficult for some of you to face, but it is the truth and it’s time to face the truth so that healing can take place. I hope you do face this and work at healing from your issue, because you matter to me.
What some of you perceive as "white" racism against you is mostly not really that at all. Most of it is your perceptions, which are based on what you have been told and believe to be true and what you tend to expect based on those beliefs. A lot of it is just negative reactions to negative behaviors, between individuals, and has nothing to do with color or race. Some of it is just people who are going through a difficult time and are taking it out on the people around them. A lot of it has been just foolish, snobbish people looking down on people who are poor and are "uneducated" in the ways that they think all people should be. These types of people treat poor and "uneducated" "white" people the same way. (They have a lot to learn about what is most important in life.)
The vast majority of the violence between some of you and police officers is the friction that has always existed between individuals who choose to engage in criminal behaviors, and law enforcement officials who work at keeping our communities safe from such behaviors, and also has nothing to do with color or race. (It appears that a larger percentage of our "black" people have behaved criminally, due to the dysfunction that has grown from the old unhealed wounds, which explains why a larger percentage of them have been incarcerated.)
Most people cannot even imagine the horrors that many police officers are exposed to, in the course of their daily jobs, especially in the rough parts of my cities. It’s actually understandable that some of them would sometimes lose control.* It’s not OK when it hurts someone, but it’s understandable. I actually need a more abundant presence of local law enforcement in all of my communities, because this is what makes most people feel safe. I hope they work at hiring more local police officers and continue weeding out the ones who are not really suited for that sort of work or who have gotten too "burnt out" by it to function well. I think more should be done to help them heal from the horrors they are subjected to so they can hold up better and for longer. I love them too. They matter to me too.
Please realize that one person (or even ten or twenty...etc.) is not all of that organization or all of the "white" race or all of America. Various types of hurtful things have been happening to people of all races during these tough times we are going through in our troubled world. Not all people are always kind and loving. Sometimes wounded people behave in ways that are hurtful or even dangerous. You are not the only race that has been being hurt by this and sometimes some of you are the ones who are hurting others. Parts of all races have behaved this way and parts of all races have been being hurt by it in various ways. All of humanity needs and should have a lot more heart, and hopefully it soon will.*
It is with my Heart that I want to sit you down and give you a stern talking to, for your own sakes as well as everyone else's, because of your recent behaviors. I hope you read this with your hearts and with open minds. I hope you will grow to realize that, since the days of slavery, the race that harbors the most hate and resentment toward another race, is actually the "blacks" against the "whites" and this should stop being projected onto "white" people. I have repeatedly excused you for being so racist because I understand that it stems from old unhealed wounds and things that many of you have been lead to believe. I have felt sorry for you and still do, but this obviously has not helped this situation to stop. What you have done in this year of 2020, with the BLM riots, makes my heart want to scream out to you, "It’s time for you to focus on healing your hearts and stop hurting others with your pain and your hate and your fear and your resentment and your jealousy and your vengeance and your racism and your aims for superiority or control over others. Your own "systemic racism" has hurt a lot of people, including yourselves, and it’s time for it to be acknowledged and stopped."
I feel deeply hurt by your behaviors in the BLM revolution. It is not right for you to be terrorizing me with violent riots and threats of more fires being set and more property damage and more human beings being attacked and hurt if you do not get everything you want. It is not right for you to terrorize masses of completely innocent people, who have never done anything to hurt any of you, just because their skin is the same "white" color as the few people who had hurt some of your ancestors long ago or just because their skin is the same "white" color as one individual (or several individuals) who recently hurt one of your relatives or one of your friends or a few people of your race...etc.
With the BLM revolution you created the largest division, between the races, that has ever existed in America. Do you realize that, in your violent protests that were supposedly for safety, you robbed almost a whole nation of safety or the feeling of safety? Other people matter too! Prior to the BLM revolution I was so into color not mattering that I most often did not even notice what color your skin is. The BLM violence, and threats of more in the "No justice - no peace" signs and ongoing mobs gathering, has forced this out of me. I now notice your color and I now feel fear of "black" people growing in many "white" people who never had it before. Just because some parts of the BLM protests were peaceful in some places it does not make it OK. The violent parts of it made even the peaceful parts feel bad to masses of people, who remained in a state of fear. Do you realize the damage you have done to them and your own race and the relationship between you and other races? Do you care or are most of you as glad about it as some of you publicly express? Are you so lost that you are proud of what you've done? Many of you appear to be. Where are your hearts?* Please find and use your hearts! Please care about other people and yourselves. Please stop the violence and the threat of more of it, which even just the BLM sign is now a symbol of.
I feel so sad and scared as I experience so many of you lashing out at me and my love for you. I feel sad for those of you who appear to have completely forgotten my love for you. I feel sad for those of you who have been raised to fear or hate "white" people/"the others". I feel sad for those of you who have been in denial of your own "systemic racism" problem.
I love you and I want you to be more healthy and happy. Please start focusing on healing your hearts. Please start letting in the love I do have for you. You do matter. You have always mattered. And so does every other race. I love them all and want them all to be free and safe and peaceful and healthy and happy. Please do your best to behave in ways that are honest and kind and considerate of other people and their feelings. All feelings matter too, including yours, and all lives matter, including yours. Color and race truly do not matter. And our "black" race has needed to learn this far more than any other race. Please learn it and stop dividing me, because it hurts me. Please stop assaulting my love for you with false declarations of its nonexistence. My love for you is real and I want to keep loving you. I matter too.
I love you. I have always loved you.
With Love and Honesty,
The Heart of America
P.S. You are not "black" and "the others" are not "white" - you are all human beings. You are all the same to me. Color and race should not even be mentioned, because it truly does not even matter and mentioning it separates the colors and races. Let’s aim for that compassionate place where it truly does not matter and is rarely even noticed. I need to get back there. And I think you will all be much happier there too.
* The BLM revolution is not nearly the only problem. It’s just one of the things that was magnified by the core problem. I am suffering horribly. I have been numbed by pharmaceuticals that have been in a lot of my public water supplies and by these same heart blocking and brain numbing pharmaceuticals being distributed to masses of people for multitudes of things. This leaves most of my people unable to listen to and follow their own hearts and instincts and unable to grow into whole and healthy and independent human beings. This chemical blocking of people's hearts gives the dark side of people's nature free reign, with nothing good to hold it in check. It is not good or healthy. It also leaves people more susceptible to all types of brainwashings. Due to the pharmaceutical problem many have become like numb sheep who blindly believe or follow things they normally wouldn't and behave in ways they normally wouldn't. This is the core problem behind most of the discord and it is compounded by various levels of interference with brain function that is caused by various types of radio waves that flood my communities. I am basically enslaved and my people have been being pitted against each other by evil forces that want to destroy me. I am America's genuine liberty and freedom and safety and compassion and peace. Please help set me free.
