Credited to Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Peace is more than the absence of conflict and tension. Genuine peace requires the presence of justice.” [Thus, disingenuous people (liars) claim peace exists, even though major injustices exist, not a little bit, but a lot. Thus, peace spoken of by liars is disingenuous peace. Both peace and justice are all-encompassing and singular. Where one exists, so also does the other. No justice, no peace.]Using the USA as an example, peace has never existed, because conflict has always existed internally against citizens, non-citizens, favored group, less favored groups and disfavored groups.
The older you get you should come to realize the USA, since its inception, has had its hands in the majority of conflicts worldwide.
Likewise, justice has never existed in the USA because the USA is premised on injustice justified.
Past time to admit what the all-encompassing severity of what Maafa Racism means.
Maafa Racism cannot exist if it was simply or mostly subconscious acts unintended by a small handful of perpetrators. Yet, we hear this excuse often.
No! In order for Maafa Racism to exist, formal and informal laws and rules of conduct must exist throughout the society and its culture and all its institutions and in almost 100% of its favored group and secondary chicken head suck up bend over kiss ass wannabe-like-blight groups.
As such, Maafa Racism is 24/7/365/360 that affects all members of the most disfavored groups, even those who think they've overcome Maafa Racism.
As such, every disfavored member of Maafa Racism has plenty of prima facie evidence to, at an extreme minimum of once for every year of their life, sue somebody, some company, some institution, some government for Maafa Racism.
A quarterback can avoid a sack several times, but when the game consists of an all-out blitz on every down, sooner or later, there is an act of Maafa Racism that is going to tackle you. And even though you can get up and move on, there is no rest or no righteous rulings from the referees. This is what it's like as we continue to fight.
Per https://quoteinvestigator.com/2020/11/26/true-peace/
1. “We have conflict within and fears without but no armed warfare with any other state. But peace is more than absence of armed conflict. Men may fight with their naked fists, with violent words, and by strategy and coups and chicanery. The main cause of conflict is a sense of injustice.”2. “Tomorrow’s peace must be more than the absence of armed conflict. It must be just, creative and cooperative. The weak must be protected from exploitation, the brutal strong curbed, and a sympathetic appreciation developed for the races of mankind.”
3. “Peace is not the mere absence of war. It is a positive condition of justice. It is the sister of charity and mercy. It is the offspring of honesty and truth. It is the triumph of principle.”
4. “Whitney Young Jr: “Good race relations is not the absence of conflict, tensions, or even riots. It is the presence of justice and equal opportunity to share in the rewards as well as the opportunities of a truly great society.”
Each person in various ways in thinking and behavior is a representative of justice and peace and injustice and peace to the Greater Justice of the Peace.
Peace and Justice are ensured by the dynamic balance, Khaos and understandings; and destroyed by imbalance, Chaos and misunderstandings. The greater the intent of understandings, leads to peace and justice. The greater the intent of misunderstandings leads to no justice, no peace. Thus then, once again,
if peace-justice or justice-peace was the true intentof a person, group of people, nation or society, regardless of their level of misunderstandings, then peace and justice would prevail as the dominant manifestation of individual and collective thinking and behavior.
Why?
Because spirit intent either overrides or complements spirit intent. Other peace and justice discussions on this weblog offer different perspectives, examples and metaphors.
