These words must be re-heard by us all. In time of greater hardship, the nation must remember - particularly, a nation that professes to be a Christian nation - the plight of the poor during this very trying times.
Cornel West is much more of a fundamentalist than most of the so-called Christian fundamentalists. He knows that the truth of God's judgment befalls a nation when its wealthiest citizens treat our most vulnerable citizens as charity work and not as God's children. If God is on the side of the poor, then who can stand to be against the poor. And if nation stands against the poor, then will God not stand against that nation? We have protect and favor our wealthiest citizens. We have ignored our poor sisters and brothers who have fallen on harder time because of the greed that consumed the wealthiest citizens in our nation. How long can a nation stand when the nation stand against the poor who is favored by God? The wrath of God befalls on a nation because of their immorality against the poor. God's judgment befalls on a nation because of the nation injustice against the poor. This is what immorality is when a nation loses its sense of social-justice.
