Incoming long post.
Lost my 12 yr old cousin to Covid this last weekend. He’s been battling Sickle Cell all his life so once he caught Covid it was like the “perfect storm” (from what doctors said) He had a sickle cell stroke that caused so much brain damaged that he ended up brain dead when he was at the hospital. My Aunt had to make the decision to take him off of life support. I can’t imagine what they are goin through right now.
On top of it, my Aunt is battling Covid as well. She’s on oxygen support and developed pneumonia in her lungs. I have no idea how she is doin! And she can’t even see her son because the doctors recommended she couldn’t see him. It’s so ****** up!
Then that night, we went to this Gospel Concert (in support of my wife) and when we got to the auditorium not a SINGLE mask was worn at all! So I’m already pissed off to the max! (It gets better) This guy named “Pedro” (White guy) spoke before the artists came to the stage but before that this dude kept saying in church “I don’t look like a Pedro.” he kept repeating that with his bigot *** jokes. I’m jus sittin there wanting to punch him in the face. Not sure how you say “you’re man of God” but spit this f’n trash in front of all these white ppl in this church? (Of course these white folks including my father in law laughed at his jokes)
Anyways, while the songs were being played everyone is jus giving “praise” “surrendering to Jesus” “worshipping” and it jus hit me. A my cousin just died today, a 12 year old! How can you believe in some God in the clouds & believe “the blood of Jesus” protects you but not believe in Covid that doesn’t care if God protects you! Even in the Bible it says “love thy neighbor” but yet all this ppl out here not wearing a damn mask to help/protect your neighbor?! It makes no sense, ppl’s moral compass is all twisted when it comes to the greater good of humanity.
I jus needed to get this off my chest, it’s been a long week.
