COMMENTARY: Black
Attorney Miller is mostly known for being the first and only person to succeed at having the n-word deleted from a major dictionary.
I have chased my chaser in a relentless effort to self destruct, so why should I now be surprised to find myself captive of my chaser. Those words came to me years ago and I repeat them everyday to remind myself of how easy it is to accompany temptation into the web of sin. I love being Black, but I also love people of all races. I write and speak on the life of Black America because I feel familiar with what makes us laugh and what makes us cry; what makes us happy and what makes us sad; and, what makes us sin and what makes us love. I feel that we as Black Americans are chasing our chaser. We have lost compassion because our hearts have denied God access. There is much that Black America should consider.

Black America, what if there really is a God? What if there really is a heaven and a hell? What if God really did blow his breath into only one human (Adam) and our lives are an extension of the life that God blew into Adam? What are we doing to God’s breath of life? Are we desperately trying to suffocate God with what we say and by what we do? What if God was serious about it being a great abomination for man to lay with man and woman to lay with woman? What if Jesus was serious about holding the death penalty to the standard of “he who is without sin, cast the first stone”? What if God is serious about us having to justify ourselves for what we say and what we do? What if we really do convict ourselves with what we say and what we do? What if God placed man as head of household as a necessity for development of his kingdom and not just for concerns of people? When we are not doing God’s desire, are we then serving the desires of another God? Is God serious about us serving only him? Can we justify our sinful acts by explaining to God how we served him 99 out of 100 times, but served another God only once? Will God understand? Will God understand how the man rich with 1000 coats sat and watched 999 poor men without coats freeze to death in their poverty? How much should a rich man give to the needy and why is it so hard for a rich man to get into heaven? Are we worshipping the lease holder or the owner and where will we go when the lease expires? What do we owe to the lost soul, if anything at all, a day or a year…its not quite so clear, if time equals pain that was cost. God, let us love you again and let us love each other again. God, give us the ability to see the spirit of people and not just the body. We are lost and we are so far away from home. The day is almost over and we still have not made up our minds. Time is of essence and I really mean it when I say, “Black America: We Scare Me!”
