We are apes, they are humans: "Strange Grace"

We certainly can’t understand why in June 2006, 37-year-old Christian Andrew Hawkins went to the Gambia and kneeled in front of 25,000 black people with chains, for the crime of looting and selling black people for their ancestors. Apologize. In 1562, his ancestor John Hawkins was the first British to traffic Africans to the Atlantic. China’s education focuses on the natural selection of things, the good will evolve, and the bad will die. This biological view has become a norm between people, because our education has no soul, only work skills, and the evolution of human conscience. For the survival habits of animals, more than four hundred years later, we thought Andrew's behavior was a variety show. Until the Shanxi slave labor incident was exposed, people had to be shocked that there was no racial difference between the persecutors and the persecuted, but their own siblings.

I think the wholeness of mankind is a kind of kinship of brothers. In between, the human rights that God gives to life should be respected. But what is regrettable is that in the second generation of humans since Adam, there is a record of Cain killing his brother Abel; until Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms wrote, "It was born from the same root, why is it too anxious to worry about each other"; By the Li Shimin Xuanwumen Incident... the scene in which people fell into it was terrible. There are three representatives of brothers fratricide. It means freedom is destroyed, equality is destroyed, and love is cut apart.

I was wondering why Wilberforce stood up against slavery. When John Newton became a Christian from a slave trader, he could not forget the souls of the 20,000 slaves on the ship and wrote the famous poem "Strange Grace" in his confession. In the movie, Wilberforce goes to see Newton sweeping the floor in the church, and Newton tells him to finish what he should do. In history, "Wilberforth wrote the "Petition for the Abolition of Slaves" and persuaded the British Parliament to demand the abolition of the slave trade from European countries at the Vienna Conference. With the mediation of the British envoy, the countries agreed to ban the slave trade for five years. The entire Parliament Cheers and cheers, celebrating this great diplomatic victory. Wilberforce alone at the desk wept bitterly, embarrassing the audience. He stood up and said, Africa is still bleeding, and who knows what revolution will happen in France in 5 years. Could it be our victory, Was the countless lives sacrificed in the war just to condone France and other countries to maintain a criminal system? He said, “I will never sign the consent form. I would like to taste the suffering of black slaves for the rest of my life, not in Such a European peace book will always have its name.” Wilberforce’s power of faith moved not only the parliamentarians, but also the British people. After the news came out, the Parliament received 250,000 petitions within ten days, and received them within one month. To 1.5 million petition letters. The total population of the United Kingdom was only 12 million at the time. All 806 villages and towns in the UK, including the most remote ones, have

written letters requesting that the United Kingdom propose an immediate ban on the slave trade." ①China's Wilberford Si, where is it? Where is the God behind Wilberforce in China? We (not others, it is us) once trampled others (not ourselves, but all others) under our feet with animal brutality. This is a debt we owe. When we kneel down and lower our heads , Once again recognize the natural human rights, once again confess his sins with the equal love of brothers, declare that the freedom of brothers does not require human declarations, and there is a kind of equality regardless of Jews, Greeks, Africans, or autonomous, Or a servant.
