Black Americans by all acounts are a mentally dead people. Lacking the will to do for self as a people accounts for a dead status. One could erase every living black American from this country and the only noticeable differance to the world would be in sports and entertainment. That can be easily replaced. Since black Americans DO NOT produce food, clothing, utilities and transportation to name a few things...they would not be missed on earth. So, when the Bible speaks of the dead will rise, it refers to the blind, deaf and dumb Black Americans who do for the white people but lack the understanding to do for self.
So the time has come for Black Americans to rise from the ground and depths of ignorance so as to began to do the things that living people do. It starts with land to produce, land to grow, land to build and land to become an independant nation of earth. check out my book at

How do you know what the Bible meant by that statement when you obviously don't intimately "know" its Author? Your interpretation of "the dead will rise" is your opinion. It is apparent that Jesus is not your Lord, and I would venture to say He is not your Savior either, because you are not aware that He lives today. I am in awe that you even use the term "Bible," to support your premise. Although your concept of the state of Black Americans is valid, it would have been better for you to leave the Bible and its statements out of your treatise on Black Americans; although I do understand why you chose to use it as a jumping board to voice your opinion. Aren't you glad there is freedom of speech in America? Just know that whether or not we believe the truths the Bible espouses, all will one day have to give an account to God, Himself, for what we do, say, and think. In the final analysis--It is appointed to man once to die, and after that--the judgment (from the Bible).
