Msconcerned's Manifesto

Brown Skin Took me a long time to love and appreciate my “Brown skin”.   Growing up in the projects and finding myself in a predominately “white” high school was not shocking to me or my system.   You see I didn’t know I didn’t like my “Brown skin”.   As a child I had a “Barbie Doll”, she was thin had long blond hair and pretty little pink lips.   Hell I thought that “beautiful”.    Needing my hair to be bone straight I wouldn’t use grease because I wanted it to “move” like my “white” cohort members.   I vividly and painfully remember coming out of the shower one day singing, “I can’t get off my horse…” with the towel wrapped around my wet hair.   I was swinging my head around as if the towel was my hair when all of a sudden to my horror, my brother had snatched that towel off my head and replied to my melody with, “you shouldn’t have never got up there.”   He was so “Black” and down with “Pubic Enemy”.   He understood what it meant to not have any of his mentors on “posta

   It is good for us to have trials and troubles at times, for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory.

   Lucifer vs Satan , are they one in the same? God created Lucifer good in his original state, but Lucifer became evil by his own designs. Devil – an evil spirit Demons – take possession of wicked men and are subject to the devil; Lucifer the light bearer – The misconceptions between Lucifer and Satan, as the exact same entity or name, started with the misinterpretations of the Gospel by various sectors.

Contrary to mass belief, Satan and Lucifer are two different names and are not the same exact entities. This is the current misconception that many Bible believers have come to know for many generations
