A Corrupted Morality

A Corrupted Morality

I awakened today and began to look around me and I saw something quite disturbing. It appeared others noticed it as well but no one was brave enough to speak out about what they had seen. We have come a long way from working the fields and picking cotton but if you look around you, one could easily see that things have simply boomeranged back around to what we fought so hard to escape. We are now bound in our minds. The chains that we once wore about our ankles, necks, and wrist, are now wrapped tightly around our mind. We are afraid to speak out against the things that are not right and like a slave we sit in silence watching the world we wish to enjoy shatter about us. Today the world is rapidly moving and children are now wiser than they were before. They are more into technology than playing outside so this means everything we do and place on the radios & television screen is being viewed attentively.

I look at how back in the days of the Civil Rights Movement; we fought heavily to change the laws of the land so that black people could be treated fair. We fought to be able to eat, drink, and use the bathroom, in the same places that whites were allowed to go. They had many movements that took place even the fight for the rights of women to be treated equally by allowing them to work just as men in any profession of their choice.  Today our children, to include even ourselves are not tuned in watching us fight for anything positive, rather they watch us fight one another, and watch some fight for the rights of sexual preference. You see people fighting for gay rights, which to me is nothing to fight about because if you choose to be a homosexual, then it’s your business and none of the public’s concern. What saddens me is that the men and women today are rapidly switching roles and the ideal family picture that was predestined to contain a man, woman, and children, now is blurry. These poor children see people daily broadcasting bad behavior, so it is believed to them that this is the right way to be. We see more youth claiming they are gay when they fail to even know what the term gay actually means. The term itself represents happiness, so how happiness and sleeping with the same sex came together…I am still trying to figure out the happiness in that. There are a lot of things that are considered sinful and we know that homosexuality is sinful, we all at some point have read the scriptures from Leviticus 18:22 and so therefore it is no secret that it is a sin. My issue however is that we are condoning sinful activity and praising it as if it is something that deserves to be in the spotlight. No one takes pride in watching a drunk. No one takes pride in watching a mother do drugs in front of her kids. No one takes pride in watching a man beat a woman. No one takes pride in watching an elderly person get attacked. 

Why do we take pride in homosexual activity? Or Corrupt behavior period? There is no difference in the viewing of it for me. I watched a video that has been going around the social media called “Throw that Boy P***” and I will not show it in this blog simply because it deserves no high lights. This was disturbing because I began to wonder about the male race and where they were headed. Women each day take pride in having male friends who are homosexual and as a friend of mine mentioned to me today…”Girl that could have been your man”. It is bad enough that the female population outweighs the male population and that makes it difficult for women to possibly obtain that husband she desires because many of them are locked away in prisons or they have become homosexual. Now the male image of what is known to be a man is shattered because these young boys have no real image of a man. They sit back and see foolishness and so they think this must be the way to becoming a man. I must be a man if I sleep with other men or with men who resemble women. The young girl says, I must be a woman if I dress provocative and occasionally sleep with women because at the end of the day…I’m simply expressing myself and being free to do whatever I want to do.

People continue to broadcast the bad rather than promote the good in society. Women have no respect for themselves and they are calling themselves mothers while projecting to their daughters that sleeping around with multiple men is okay and they spend more time on the phone or social media sites than they do paying attention to their children.

 They show them that fighting over men and running around being loud and unseemly is okay. These children watch videos where women are showcasing their bodies more than they are showcasing how intelligent they are. No one is fighting against it, instead we have lost the desire to fight and we just sit back in silence and mumble among each other about how bad the future will be for our young children rather than taking a stand to change it for them. We fail to realize that we have to get old one day and will have to deal with these children who will then be adults running around being violent and disrespectful towards us. We have to deal with the thinning out of Godly marriages and watch as we see women marrying women and men marrying men just as things were in the days of Sodom & Gomorrah. People don't even want to get married no more, they rather be "cut friends'. Yet we support it, so it goes forth and blossoms. 

We sit back and watch these YouTube videos and then share them with our friends and laugh at them without saying to ourselves, this will not get spread across the media for my child or someone else’s child to see. There should be no fight for sinful behavior. If I am a bank robber, do I earn the right to fight to be able to rob banks?! Oh now I am mad because people are against bank robbers so now I am going to start a march against it and say that people do not like me and should accept me for who I am because I am a bank robber! Really???!! Get out of here with that. How you live is your choice to live, nobody has to accept your behavior. God loves us but he does not approve of our sinful ways, so why do we feel the need to approve of those ways.

These children are watching us and nobody seems to care about what they see. We say that we are not persuading them and yet we are because they watch some of you participate in this activity right in front of them. They watch men dress up like women and switch their hips around like women and so they think it is okay. They watch women dress like men and act like men and hit ladies on the butt as a man would and so the young girls think this is okay. They watch mom come in the house with a different man every day of the week and so they think it is okay. They see dad sit around the house and smoke weed all day and hustle on the streets, sag his pants and pop pills so they think its okay. When will we stop saying its okay? When will we stop shrugging our shoulders and closing our eyes to it? When will we stop laughing about it and start doing something about it?

Now this may start some heat because I know a lot of men and women who are homosexual and bisexual and maybe they feel some type of way reading this but you are entitled to your beliefs just as I am entitled to mine. I will never bash you for how you choose to live because I always say, “It’s your life”. Just because you choose to live that way, does not make it the right way to live. I will always give you the truth and honestly many of them know the truth but they have a choice to live how they wish to live. Just be mindful of the children who are watching and at least give them a chance to choose on their own. What you choose to do in your bedroom is your own business…leave it there…it does not have to publicized.  This goes for heterosexuals as well, because you broadcast a lot of bad behavior as well and it makes you look no different.

I wonder what the future holds for our sons and daughters because they have very few good role models to follow. This is not just about homosexuals; this is about people as a whole. There are just as many bad heterosexuals out there as well who lead sloppy lives and have no moral values.

We are still mentally enslaved and just as Willie Lynch wrote that we would be able to be controlled for 300 years…it is still in effect. We are a confused generation. We are a race of people who are slowly dying out unless we fight for change. As I mentioned this is not entirely about the gay community, this is about the community we live in as a whole. I know a lot of amazing people who are in the gay community and will go to world’s end to make sure I am okay, so let’s not get things twisted. Do I agree with their behavior? No, but I do not slander them for what they choose to do, just as they do not slander me for what I choose to do. I will not broadcast what they do nor feed into what they do. I simply live my life and let them live theirs. I see people participate in folly all day and I simply give my thoughts when I am asked and it’s no disrespect to anyone. I will not treat them different, will not fail to speak when I am spoken to…they are human; they are still God’s creations. We all are, no matter how we live this thing called life.

I simply want us to be respectful of the little ones who are watching us. No it is not okay for them to portray bad behavior or participate in ungodly acts. It is nothing wrong with teaching your child that this behavior is wrong. It is nothing wrong with teaching young men to appreciate a woman and not call her a female dog, as well as teach him that she has more to offer than just her body and looks to him. It is nothing wrong with teaching that young girl to dress modest and not reveal all of herself to a man’s eyes, as well as teaching her to not go around calling herself a female dog with others. It is nothing wrong setting an example. If you are homosexual, then why not teach that child that what I am doing is not condoned in the bible nor right in the eyes of God but this is how I choose to live and I want you to not follow me but however follow what you feel is right to do.

It’s tight but its right! No matter how you feel about it or look at it, the truth is the truth. Our parents gave us a chance and we have to give these children a chance to grow up and be somebody. We have to stop with the willingness to so easily pull the trigger and go back to the old ways of handling an issue by using your fists. Men have to stop going around making babies and then abandoning the home only to go make more babies. Women have to stop lying down and making babies for multiple guys rather than waiting to obtain a wedding ring and showing your daughter the proper way of the household. We corrupt their little minds and then we sit back and point at them when we see them in the news for killing, assaulting, or harassing someone. We really should turn the finger around to ourselves and say what am I doing to set an example for them. Just because I choose to live reckless does not mean they should.

These children know nothing about real love…they no longer hear it on the radios nor see it on the television’s, and nor do they witness it in our households. Simply because people promote corruption. We care more about ratings than we do about educating. Just like the new show with Gabrielle Union called "Being Mary Jane" which teaches young women what? To be happy as the side line female who goes around sleeping with men and despite how successful her career life is, she rather lower her standards and participate in activity that makes her accept less than what she deserves for herself as a successful black woman.  This show received over 3.3 million viewers and is topped at number 1 on the chart according to cable ratings.

It’s time for a change. It’s time for a different future that consists of more support of positive and less negativity. What happened to shows like the Cosby Show, A Different World, Family Matters, and Full House??!! 

At the end of this reading, many will feel a mixture of emotions. Keep in mind that no matter how you feel, it will not change what is right. You can come up with a host of stories to try to make what you do right or even point fingers at others to make yourself feel good. We all like to point fingers to back up our wrong…but guess what?…Mom still whipped that behind and it made you change the way you were acting.  So look at it like this, I’m simply trying to help us all as a whole to change the way we have been acting in front of these children.

Give them a chance. Their eyes are watching you.
