Lord, many of Your children have struggled endless hours to earn degrees in their chosen fields. However, to this writer’s dismay and those of others, many African Americans are deliberately “stalled” in becoming certified in the fields in which they have suffered many dismal circumstances to obtain degrees. Why are their degrees awarded by the institutions from which they have gradated considered “proof” that they are adequately prepared in their “degreed” fields?
Lord, as You know, in order to impede African American teachers from teaching Anglo Saxon children after phony integration of schools was decreed, the so-called National Teacher’s Examination (NTE-now called the Praxis Test), was suddenly kicked into place which was not so subtle with the understanding that almost all African American degreed teachers would fail and become aides. Many times, they are more competent and interested in the progress of their assigned students than their created supervisors.
This child of Yours knows people who have completed degree requirements in their chosen fields but cannot pass the deliberately designed certification barriers. One night, this writer, noted the testimony of a lady on a television evangelist’s program who testified that she took the examination approximately twenty eight times before being declared qualified to practice law. However, she refused to give up!!! But, Lord, not many of Your children have that same type stamina not to give up. Many take lower menial jobs in order to survive in this mean, cruel world in which we live.
Right now, many of Your affluent, labeled children have already connived ways to increase prices on Your goods and services in order to confiscate Your stimulus checks. Some are angry at those persons who have chosen to “try” and save a portion of their checks due to their advance knowledge given by you of their consistent evil schemes to make sure that they continue to live in their “well-set” poverty level.
Lord, it is interesting to note that Your virus is not consigned to any group of Your people. It has visited all of Your created peoples throughout Your world.
For a while, some of our counterparts tried to blame African Americans for its destructive presence throughout Your created world. But…
Lord, this blessed writer of Yours is pleading with You to aid us in being able to certify at graduations in the fields in which we have earned degrees in Universities/Colleges.
Love,
