Week # 2 - Question 7 - Speaking to Power -
What are the powers that enforce certain systems - visible in invisible?
Why does the media consistently focus on the negative in my community (north Minneapolis?)
Why does a killing in this neighborhood barely cause a stir - but when someone (white) is killed downtown - it's cause for media and political alarm?
Why are there so few solid businesses in this community?
Why are housing standards and enforcement different here than in other parts of the city?
Who is policing the power holders? - public and private?
What would JESUS do?

I heard a speaker the other day saying .."we ask WWJD? - but we should ask HCIKWJWDIIDKWJD?" (how can I know what Jesus would do if I don't know what Jesus did?
What DID Jesus do? -
HE comforted the afflicted and afflicted the comfortable
HE over turned table of the exploiters and threatened them with a whip
HE broke man made rules - so he could help humans God had made –
HE was despised and afflicted… ???
Not a good way to make friends and influece people...?
I don't wanna be angry - just 'cause! - but Jesus never chose comfort over honesty and justice and real love.
