I am extremely interested in a few things you have stated, such as, the raising of a Black man in KY. I would love to see you continue to contribute to this discussion but in a productive manner, not a slanderous one. Do I make myself clear? |
Well, if the majority are NOT PH Masons, then where is the outrage of a bunch of people from an outside entity claiming to have anything of relevance to say abut MS Masonry in KY, slandering the GM, making up lies about the recognition issue, and tying it to the very real and painful situation Charles Martin is in????? This bunch of race baiters are using him for bait to push their own political agenda.... and the drip tears for him, while stabbing him in the back by making this an ugly, and difficult situation for everyone.....
Truth be told, he likely can not avoid expulsion now, because the attention level is so high and the race baiters have perched him on top of the alter to be sacrificed for their own political agenda.... PERIOD.... so there people are ignorant and dangerous fools, or intentional deceptive, one of the two is fundamental truth...
As to uneducated, I never said anyone was uneducated until AFTER the two started with why they did not see the need to get information on the subject matter, so they are ignorant and uneducated, PERIOD. then they CONFIRMED their lack of education, and damned determination to make sure that did not change. If you, them, or anyone else chooses to be an uneducated fool, so be it, it is a free country, but then it is also free for me to point that fact out..... as to Masonic education, I have served on more than one education committee, and formal education is not an area I am lacking, you may be able to say the same, but tread carefully in these matters.... as I have....
You got this bozo of a "Grand Secretary" telling everyone the GM must go because he does not selectively enforce a constitution, that getting the facts before a jury makes a decision is unimportant, and he has lots of experience in judicial matters.... ummmmm, not like any Grand Secretary I have ever met... or want to.... if he wants to put himself on that pedestal, so be it, but he should not make himself such an easy target, because someone will take the shot at him.... and I am not afraid to be the one to do it....
I chose my words very, very carefully, I have in no way insulted Charles, I have tried to help his situation far, far more than apparently anyone here cares to.... so do not go there... I have been discussing these matters with him, and trying to assist his efforts, for YEARS.... he has no stronger ally than I, but I am a Mason first, and apparently I am one of the few who take that position.... most here obviously want to sacrifice him for their own justification in believing MS Masonry is racist....
I have been to Iraq twice, and it was not a sight seeing tour, so do not even start to go there, you will be embarrassed.... I have LIVED enough experience to be the one to say that simply being in Iraq or Afghanistan does not change the issues or give a man a free pass.... if unacceptable behavior were acceptable because someone was a Mason in war Benedict Arnold would not have been hanged.... This line of defense gets Charles expelled and only serves to enforce emotion based thinking which over rides logic, a rather unmasonic trait....
Black men have been raised in KY MS lodges, period, not much more to it than that.... I know of no instances where black men have been turned away, or voted down, there is probably some, but it is not a regular occurrence. Yet the race baiters keep screaming race, race, race.... there are bigots on both sides of the isle....
Some my not like my tone, but I do not care, the polite conversations here before my post did not get the point across, so if the audience wants to play hard ball with the issue, I will, and have... again, the tone may be offensive, but the point is 100% on target, and maybe, just maybe, it will get sunk in.... polite whispers in the ear are not working....
Bottom line, I am 100% correct, have chosen my words carefully, and the ONLY negative comments anyone can make about my comments are the tone.... so far I figure I am one of the few being honest here......
as to Black men being raised in KY, I know it happened, I assume it will happen again, some like it, some do not, but for the most part, they are just Masons.... and I consider them Brothers.... and expect a much higher standard of behavior from them than I have seen here....
