Letter To A Southern Baptist Church
Dear beloved brothers, sisters and valued friends.
Let me start by offering you all a very sincere apology. It has been too long since I have written. I am in the middle of my second appeal. I have been working very hard on proving my innocence and exposing the corruption of our broken justice system. A very well respected and well known legal scholar has written about my case and the poor job my ex-lawyer did defending me. It has set the legal world abuzz and could lead to the case being overturned – only by GOD’s mighty grace! I feel Him working on my behalf. More importantly than going home, I want to expose the racism and corruption and bring it from darkness to light. Doing so is my duty as a Christian and an American; for by preventing others from suffering what I and countless others have experienced, l am following my LORD’s command: Love thy neighbor as ye love thyself. People are getting lynched in the courtrooms of this country. They are being brutalized by corruption, degraded by hate and hung by injustice. Our brother Martin Luther King said “An attack on justice anywhere is an attack on justice everywhere.” Amen! Too many of us Christians sit idly by and watch what we know is wrong in silence. And in so doing, we become accomplices to satan and his evil schemes. It is not only people of color that this is happening to. Poor white brothers and sisters are being lynched too. Class-ism has always been one of the many vile faces of racism. (more…)
