[@servHis221]

That would be something wouldn't it? Unfortunately, "All men will hate you because of me..." That's the evidence of his brotherhood to Christ. If you watch Big Bro's path (The Real Big Bro that is...) First it was a big crowd and as things got deeper and more 'exposing' only a few stuck around...and eventually even the few fled.

I went to see Liz Vice at a local music venue. Prop was her opening act/co-headliner. I knew nothing about him. But I was completely drawn in & engaged. The man is both brilliant in his observations and a poet. Came away a fan. Never miss the opener. You find gems that way.

You see when I first heard him I was in class with a room full of classmates and everyone just stopped and heard him I didn’t get what was being said at first until watched it and also read it at the same time I got exactly what was being said and it was a strong powerful message

[@noilyehlenberger8823]

[@stepuptothemicpodcast733]

This is amazing and so well done. I hope God uses this and sends you to communities that need to hear this. Thank you Prop for all you’re doing. I’m inspired to keep stepping up and do the right thing because of your boldness. Thank you. Let’s share this everywhere!

[@marktheophilus8855]

Thank you. I am sorry for my ignorance. But this old white man will not be ignorant any more. . . . God is opening my eyes and I am horrified at what has been done. . . . this has to stop. Things must change.

I love this poem. Yes justice, before reconciliation!!

[@drmayojr]

So, real question and not baiting or trying to be a troll… what is justice in your eyes? Real question. I am not denying the pain and suffering of slaves in our history. Understanding that our history is not a long one and that many people in this country have grandparents that heard stories directly from their parents and grandparents. I also understand, as best I can, that those things, those stories, that suffering, has lasting effects on generations beyond those who suffered terribly. I also cannot deny the suffering and long lasting effects of segregation, of Jim Crow laws and of the attitudes, especially in the south post Civil War. Still, I don’t know what justice means in this context. How do we measure justice in this case and with that meaning? I ask, because the only way to truly accomplish something is by knowing what it is and being able to measure it. By establishing those measurements, it becomes possible to begin to systematically accomplish those measurements to accomplish the overall goal of justice and then reconciliation. I cannot begin to imagine all aspects of being the child, grandchild, and beyond of a former slave or to have lived through the civili rights era and before as a black person. Similarly, I can’t fathom what justice would mean in those contexts.

7/6/19 homeless dude was walkin in to get that good, free, and loudly proclaimed fair trade fluids that my brother's and sister's (in christ) brew on sundees. def wasn't staying for the sermon, and sans the 81% aggressive "enjoy your coffee, have a blessed day" from the parking lot mc, it's the best damned coffee in louisville. i was out smokin w/ psalm 73 and father louis. the worship inside is a stumbling stone for me. (hold this sparkler.) maybe i'm holdin the wrong end? "why am i here?" said the fear. homeless dude came out and i caught his goodwill shirt: "EAT WITH THE ONES YOU STARVED WITH!" ah...men.... got it off him for $12. wore it inside like a humble beast. pray for this pastor. (his twitter brought me here. tweeted it back when the masters of southern divisivinity were allowing their brown pastors to speak up in the big house.) good to know where all the humble beast shirts i see at our evangelical watering hole's got their start. here's to 2020 vision. make christianity magdalenic again.

[@DaryllJosephHUgpo]

The hate on this piece of art that paints a picture of reality is ridiculous, and all you haters prove Prop's argument. Doesn't Jesus and justice go together?

[@PaulOnMars]

"Doesn't Jesus and justice go together?" The justice of God doesn't go with Jesus, but through Him. Justice is getting exactly what we deserve, and we all know what that is. True justice should be the nightmare for all of us sinners, but for Christ. In Christ the justice we all deserve was poured out on the son alone. Therefore, our salvation is justice, but at a price only God could endure. When we say, "we want justice" we're not actually saying that WE want justice, but that we want someone else to experience justice. Justice takes its price. Justice does not weigh infraction in parts, but as a whole. Knowing that God's justice is unyielding, I can only say that I want justice because I already know that that justice comes through Christ. If justice fell upon the shoulders of any other... It would not have be satisfied. We would still be fearing payday, someday.

[@RuralItalics]

I hear you loud and clear, Prop. I really do. You paint an amazing picture of the problem. I don't want to be part of the problem. So, how can I be part of the solution. I am left asking, "Now what? What can I do?"

Question - what is the solution(s)? This is beautiful (as usual, Prop, well done) but it leaves me begging the question above. The problems are real, they're tangible, and to ignore them is folly. But that's not the end, so how do we move toward solutions, peace, a future that honors the reality of the past and seeks to build from it...what does that look like?

[@Rembrall]

To play on the idea presented at first, we start with this idea of a man beating his wife, and it's very clear what the representation is, especially as the spoken word goes on, the goal is to challenge the ideas that current media presents us with and the attitudes we have toward others. But the question that comes to mind is this- Shouldn't there be more than one man? And more than one woman? And some of the men are consistently positive, while some others act negative, consistently, and then there are those who after a time switch from bad to good, and still others who switch from good to bad? And shouldn't some of the women /also/ be bad to the husbands with no past history of violence toward them, because by being a man they are related to other men who did hurt women? Or does that evade a distinctive thought that it's only the man who can hurt others, and needs to take responsibility not just for himself, but for all other men who have done these destructive actions in order for justice to occur?

[@cathicross7819]

Stop being so logical. You're killing the vibe.

[@noilyehlenberger8823]

It's nice and emotional but as a former battered spouse, I don't look at all men as the man who battered me. Also then my children and children's children? This is a POOR analogy.

[@justinpalmer3948]

This is a beautiful description of how we don't handle oppression the right way as a country or as a church even. I will say that I believe justice does not come before reconciliation because if that were the case, Jesus would have never made it to the cross because God would have punished us already. Love, Kindness, Compassion, Grace, those are things we need to work on first, rather than resorting to violence and "fighting back" we need to look at the examples that Christ showed about oppression and then look at in my mind the greatest Civil Rights leader in the history of America, MLK. All of their actions were around doing the right thing but through the use of the love of the gospel.

[@Alexa-sl8xb]

Just a note about believing "justice does not come before reconciliation." Justice did come before reconciliation. Because of our sin we were separated from a holy God. We couldn't be reconciled to Him because of our sin. That's precisely why Jesus needed to die. The price for sin is death. Because God is wholly just the price had to be paid. Jesus paid that price, because we couldn't. It's only because of the justice enacted by His death on the cross that we can by faith through grace now be reconciled to a holy God. I agree with you that love, compassion and grace are all attributes needed in the fight against oppression. However, I think a heart that yearns for justice is also completely in line with the examples of Christ. I'd also say that Jesus in His righteous anger at the injustice and corruption being done in the temple acted physically (not harming people) in overturning the money tables with a whip of cords. Physical action is at times needed.

[@djexec3324]

+Alexa Bribiesca: You really got me thinking good job, however Christ died once for ALL. Justice was satisfied and we now no longer have live life in our own old fleshly ways and mindsets, for when we chose to be Christians we too died and it is now Christ living through us. So no matter how much we want to fight the corruption in the way we feel is "right" it is the leading of Christ's ( the Holy Spirit) we're to be following. BLM or MLK or noone died for us...whose banner will we carry?
