Arrows, Spears, Bullets & Clubs

 Is deadly force and extreme policing as old as time ? When did the man of African descent become a symbol of danger to the European rulers? What could have happened to cause such extreme behavior towards the descendants of indigenous Africans? 

  The story of Jesus, whether you believe it to be real or fictional provides a peek into  into ancient manipulation of the judicial system. How many people came to arrest him? What crime did he commit and why did the thieves get the death sentence. 


 So many people want to get past race how can we if we don't understand origins.  When I look at what happened to Jesus it reminds me of what happens to black men in todays time. There has to be a reason for this reaction toward the Negro people. Did this fear originate with ancient teaching of the people of Europe? It just so happens the Church of Rome was their first teacher. 

   How many arrows did ancient police need in order to stop a violent person or a group of people? How many body blows does it take to subdue a violent person?  How many bullets does it take to stop a violent person?  

What did everyday policing look like during biblical times? What type of governance has the world been under for 2000 years and what was it like before Alexander the Great entered the world stage? What did ancient people do about oppressive laws and rulers that brutalized the people. When did the man of African descent become a symbol of fear? 

   What ancient priesthood treated people in such a harsh manner? Certainly it was not the Christ! When I think about ancient policing I think about Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain, "Would the Christ blow up a whole town for breaking the law ?" Would the Christ chop off the fingers of a thief? If the Christ was in the beginning are we saying he had two names and two personalities? Why is this harsh treatment of humans especially people of African descent continuing through out the world. 

  When Jesus said "Those that live by the sword die by the sword," we know this is not a literal statement because history has proven that many of the people who live by the sword and their descendants go on to live fabulous lives. We need only to look at the Native Americans and the injustices they faced for this same policing and just look at what happened to them, they lost the land and millions died. 

There are times that I wonder what the Europeans found in the pyramids and libraries of Ancient Africa that made them so afraid of people of African descent. Why they felt the need to divide these people and disperse them all over the world and then oppress the ones that remained. 

Does this have anything to do with the stories that one of their ancestors was divine? Who are the ancestors of the Africans of the diaspora and their families that were left behind in Africa and how is it linked to Genesis 9 and extreme policing in modern times?
