Soteria Words of Wisdom From Raphaelita 

Note to my Black Brothers and Sisters

It is excellent that you are protesting  the unfair treatment of blacks by law enforcement. No one should be treated as if they are less than others.  I commend you on your stance. Take your stance without violence and looting.   Let us keep in mind that many who work in law enforcement are good people. They treat people with whom they come in contact fairly.  Some law enforcement officers even go above their duty to help people they come in contact with no matter what ethnic background they come from.   

Please let us not forget the number of black people who are killed by other black people.  Should we not also protest against this unjust treatment as well?   How many black children, women,  and men are killed by another black person? Let's  not close  our eyes to this unfair treatment of blacks toward blacks. 

Let us demonstrate to the world that we have love and respect toward one another. This will set the standard for the world to also treat us with respect, when they see that we treat each other with respect.  My brothers and sisters, if we love and respect one another, we will not steal, rob , sell drugs, speak disrespectfully, hurt and kill one another.   
  
My young brothers, make sure when you are stopped by law enforcement that you do not have any illegal items in your car or in your possession.  Stop making them right in their judgement of you. When you are stopped comply with them.   Remember that a soft answer will turn away wrath.  Some law enforcement officers may think that blacks are angry and violent.  Let us not play into their stereotype. Let us ask our Heavenly Father for His grace and love.  Let us believe God for creativity and ideas in starting our own business.   Last, but surely not least, remember that Christ died for you as well as the people in law enforcement.  God has commanded  us even in our disagreement to do it in love.  Yes, you can stand up for your rights in love with respect for others.
