Secretary of State Accepts Award Honoring Architect of Black Genocide

On Friday March 27, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presents acceptance speech for Planned Parenthood's prestigious Margaret Sanger Award at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX.
On March 27, 2009 now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave an acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger Award recognition for her longstanding work in support of the organization and its agenda. Should there be any concern for this honor? Probably not, since the vast majority of African Americans are either unaware of Planned Parenthood’s blood-stained history, or simply agree with the agenda. For example, it has been documented time and time again concerning Margaret Sanger’s hatred for non-whites as well as certain whites of eastern European descent. Being an evolutionist, she passionately maintained that it was the responsibility of the superior white race to control and regulate the world’s population by exercising programs limiting the birth rates of those she considered to be human weeds—and attractive ideology for white supremacists such as the Ku Klux Klan!
Of particular focus for Sanger was the African American population, which continues to this day. Besides working with black ministers, doctors and leaders in the mid-to-late 1930’s, she worked even closer with wealthy whites such as Dr. Clarence Gamble of the Proctor and Gamble soap-making empire. Their most notorious plan was called The Negro Project, which was designed to recruit black doctors and preachers to convince fellow blacks about the benefits of population control.
In an early December 1939 letter to Margaret Sanger, Dr. Clarence Gamble wrote, “The colored minister seems an extremely[important] unit in the work. I am not so certain about the need of a colored doctor, though in this I would be ready to accept the recommendation of the colored leaders. It seems to me the chief need in the campaign is publicity, and for this I feel ministerial training is far more important than medical. Though my experience has been slight, I haven’t been convinced that colored physicians are important in the race’s community leadership”.
Part of Sanger’s December 10, 1939 response unsurprisingly was, "... We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." The incorporation of the black preacher was a very important part of the strategy, which is still a valuable political instrument today, as the same strategy has been effectively adopted by the Democratic Party—using black pastors to push their agendas ranging from political candidates to billion dollar sports stadiums! Money, power and position are the commodities used to trade in innocent black blood! The black-on-black slaughter in America is no different than the Hutus v. Tutsis of Rwanda, the Luo v. Kikuyu of Kenya or the Muslim v. Christian of Sudan or other African groups with one exception. The difference in America is that it is neither racial, tribal nor religious—its economics!
Sanger’s insidious work drew the interest of the Ku Klux Klan as she attended several rallies now discovered, and possibly many others yet to be revealed. Several times she was invited to secret Klan meetings, as evidenced by photos taken at two different rallies held in Silverlake, New Jersey as far back as 1926 (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fj-E-Yk78M). Her apparently initial contact with Klan sounded like a narration out of a spy novel, as she described her clandestine rendezvous. But it would be plain to understand that her speech would have been encouragement for the racist organization, as they shared a common goal—to eliminate black people! In fact, Sanger’s method would obviously be most effective—there would be no need to lynch, burn or mutilate blacks if they could be killed before birth!
Some would challenge the notion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be linked with such a racist like Sanger, but the facts speak for themselves. Although black comprise only 12-13% of the total U.S. population, the annual abortion rate for black women is around 35%. A common community service strategy for Planned Parenthood is to place their clinics near large minority populations. Since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, well over 8 million black babies have been aborted—over 30% of the current African American population! So it would be no stretch to say that the Ku Klux Klan is extremely happy with Sanger’s program. It has been effective and efficient in doing what it could have never done. Planned Parenthood has excelled the work of the Nazi war machine and its human extermination program. Margaret Sanger convinced blacks to kill their own!
So with Hillary Clinton’s enduringly-strong support of the Planned Parenthood organization, one can conclude that neither violent crime, drug abuse, AIDS nor any of those maladies can be seen as the most dangerous place or thing for black people—it’s the womb! And for blacks, other minorities and the poor, pro-choice actually means no choice! Not only does she deserve to receive that award from the Planned Parenthood organization, when it comes to controlling the African American population, she has probably earned the adoration of the Ku Klux Klan!

Screaming Racism Without Good Reason

In what can be seen as having the speed and effectiveness of the work of a rapid-response team loaded with an arsenal of a single propaganda bullet, we have been given a glimpse of what is to come from the race-cult Taliban operating in behalf of President Barack Obama’s administration. Regardless of whether any opposition to his policies or criticism of his ideology is based upon sound, moral legitimate grounds, there will be the clamor of racism. The most recent attacks having been on the New York Post and its political cartoonist Sean Delonas, who created the Feb. 18, 2009 cartoon with two policemen having shot to death a chimpanzee while alluding to the notion that it was a monkey wrote the Economic Stimulus Bill.

The other centered around the southern (white) governors’ decisions to refuse portions of the federal money from the same source of funding. Both instances illustrate the shallow, unfounded folly of black race-baiters whose only value to the political process is to provide coverage for the white-elitist liberal class!

Take for instance, the Rev. Al Sharpton and those of his ilk, having very little ability to provide a consistent and convincing argument, retreat into the Saul Alinsky tactic of name-calling and personal attacks against their opponents. Using the power of a willing, spiritually-compatible news media, Sharpton and others are able to summon the TV cameras and microphones at a moment’s notice! Their most recent accusation claims that the NY Post intentionally used the cartoon as a racial insult, suggesting that President Obama is an ape, thus taking a swipe at all black people. Although the NY Post owner Rupert Murdoch and cartoonist Delonas vehemently deny any suggestion that there were racist motives, the masses of race-detectives clamor for justice with McCarthyistic fervor.

Sharpton’s comment was, "The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill." Whether Sharpton’s intentions were well-meaning or not is not the issue, but in light of the “historic racist attacks …” he speaks of, one could say that he is certainly misguided!

The truth is that the notion of blacks being close descendants has a history in Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution—a system that is the actual source which implies the relationship. However, Rev. Sharpton is silent about this! Why? Could it be that evolutionary theory is a key cornerstone for the liberal left—the source of Sharpton’s financial well-being? Evolution is also a very important part of the public school system, which teaches that man descends from apes. So Sharpton is only attacking a representation of the belief, while the teaching within evolution is the source that he and other race-police utterly ignore. If Rev. Al Sharpton was truly genuine, he would be all over Darwinism, but he would be at the risk of losing his support. In spite of the fact that Darwin's book, THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION, in its full title says ... OR THE PRESERVATION OF FAVORED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

If Sharpton were to realize that Darwin's book, the bible of the liberal left is the actual source for the "blacks being inferior and related to apes" ideology, would he challenge it?

Then there is U.S. Representative James Clyburn (D. South Carolina), who is also a member of the left-leaning Progressive Caucus, a group of U.S. Congressional members closely aligned with the organization called the Democratic Socialists of America. Rep. Clyburn has publicly criticized the state governors who are refusing the federal funds being made available through the Stimulus Bill, but are loaded with strings attached! The congressman stated, “The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governors represent states that are the proverbial black belt. I was insulted by that …” He went on the express that the act of these governors was a “slap in the face of African Americans.” Like Rev. Sharpton’s stretch to claim racist intentions, Rep. Clyburn’s Chicken Little imitation is even more groundless! However, like Sharpton, the press makes even his false claims seem legitimate.

First of all, what Rep. Clyburn must recognize is that although he may see this southern region as being the “black belt,” the majority of Americans (black and White) have always seen the same region as being the “Bible Belt!” It is still a region of the country where the basic principles for living have not been completely undermined by a foreign ideology, namely socialism, and the Jude-Christian ethic still holds value. In addition, Rep. Clyburn’s opinion of black America being slapped in the face because of the governors rejecting federal money is a slap in the face in itself. He is saying that blacks are of a government-dependent, entitlement-minded race of people waiting for the next round of hand outs and provisions. He paints a picture that only blacks are affected, while whites and others apparently do not even factor in!

Finally, let us remind Rep. Clyburn that though he may be the Majority Whip for the House of Representatives at this time, he is still only one of 435 U.S. Representatives chosen to represent those who elected him. So by what authority does he have to utter a word about what goes on is Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi or any besides his own? Neither has he been anointed to be the great protector of black people. In fact, Rep. Clyburn, Rev. Sharpton and other Chicken Littles have actually demeaned and minimized the true legitimate incidents of racial bigotry with their unsubstantiated “the sky is falling” rhetoric!

The truth is that they have been merely providing cover for the Masters of the Left. Their true value is only to cry racism in practically every case to stifle and intimidate any opposition. Without this ability, they all would find themselves cast out of the vehicle like an empty drink cup! The cry of racism is one of the most powerful tools in the hand of the left, enabling them to move their radical agendas forward with little or no opposition.

Crying Out to the Wrong Power?

On January 6 of this year, the Houston Chronicle and local TV media reported that a group of Houston area pastors came together for a press conference to declare to the world that they were utterly helpless and were in need of a greater power to stop the black-on-black crimes that are tearing apart the community of Sunnyside. The delegation represented the 300-member Houston Ministers Against Crime movement, and they assembled themselves before the public to demand that city officials create an expert panel to address escalating violence among black youth. “We’re crying out for help from our elected officials,” said one minister. “We’re going to scream this from the roof,” said another.
However, there is something very telling about these actions in light of the great declaration the church’s founder which was “…upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Jesus spoke of the church having unimaginable power and ability—the entity that these leaders suppose to represent! Though we may exhibit stellar pulpit performances and spout great Scriptural verses like “I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me,” the public plea shows a sign of weakness and utter despair. Or could it be safe to say that the church has lost its savour, meaning that it has lost its effectiveness and ability to influence those around it?
The cry of the pastors for government help stands as irrefutable evidence of how far the leadership has strayed from the spiritual foundation of being rooted in the basic principles of traditional Biblical doctrine. Question: What can the city council and government do to force or even convince young black men to cease committing such heartless violence, not just against black people, but people in general? The laws are already in the books!
And remember, government’s duty is to “punish the wicked and protect the innocent, bring justice to the offender and encouragement to the law-abiding.” So this means that many segments of the Christian community has it all wrong! Government’s primary responsibility is actually remove the wicked and disobedient from civilized society in hopes of changing them—it is not government’s responsibility to raise them! In fact, government functions best where its duties truly reside, and many of the things the preachers are crying so loudly about stem from the government’s attempt to handle those things best minded by the church! In fact, much of the tragedy the black communities suffer from is the collateral damage stemming from liberal alliances and an unquestioning devotion to a political party system that profit from the very misery they lament.
The dependence upon government solutions has been the plague of the church, which has withdrawn step-by-step from its responsibility of shaping the culture. It is for this very reason we have many of our problems. With government doing all it can to remove God from every aspect of society, how can church leaders depend upon it to solve issues related to the spiritual condition of people? For the leaders of the church—the only physical, visible representation of the kingdom of heaven on earth to declare this dependency upon a lesser authority illustrates the spiritual poverty in our pulpits! The immense political power has raised a generation that no longer looks to God, but to our city halls, state capitols and ultimately Washington, D.C. Is there not a word from the Lord? Perhaps a display of unity, fasting and prayer would open greater wisdom in finding solutions.

Does Sen. Reid’s Rejection of Burris Reveal Racist Ideology?

He is qualified by time and experience. Duly-elected to the state wide positions of state comptroller and attorney general for the state of Illinois, respectively. His credentials are unquestionable, but U.S. senate appointee Roland Burris appears to be the victim of a stigmatic specter from days long ago.
Majority Leader Harry Reid would have been more credible if it were not for the leaking of the conversation he had with controversial governor Blagojevich concerning his preference for who would fill the senate seat vacated by President-elect Barrack Obama.
According to Blagojevich, Sen. Reid was adamant about who he wanted in that position, but he apparently started off by naming who he did not want: Chicago Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Danny Davis, and state Senate President Emil Jones Jr. Describing three black public officials as “unelectable,” Reid has apparently forgotten that it was a black man who was duly elected that needs to be replaced! Reid’s preference, according to Blagojevich would be either of two women, of which are probably less qualified than any of the black men who were in consideration. He preferred either Thai-American state Veteran Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth or white Illinois state Attorney General Lisa Madiga.
However, Reid’s conduct should at least draw suspicion of his thought processes. Of course, he would work with blacks in the House and/or the Senate—that’s his job—that’s what we all know as politics, but what if Sen. Reid has “certain preferences?” What does he think of blacks as a people?
Perhaps another clue can be given by his way of denigrating Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. (Some things will occasionally go beyond politics). Setting politics aside for the moment, let us simply look at how he responded to Justice Thomas without a pause for a thought

During a Dec. 5 2004 interview with Tim Russert on on the NBC News program Meet the Press, Reid's response to Russert question was as follows:

MR. RUSSERT: Why couldn't you accept Clarence Thomas?

SEN. REID: I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written. I don't--I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice.

Sen. Reid was soon rebuked by the Congressional Black Caucas for that remark. This may suggest that when not politically expedient, Sen. Harry Reid would prefer no blacks around!

Getting Back to Its Roots Means Increased Black Participation

The Republican Party of Texas’ web site proudly displays in its history:
“African Americans were one group of Texans that would consistently support the Republican Party in Texas in those early years. In fact, throughout Reconstruction, African Americans comprised about 90% of GOP membership, and 44 African Americans served in the Texas legislature as Republicans…The first ever state Republican convention that met in Houston on July 4, 1867 was predominantly African American in composition, with about 150 African American Texans attending, and 20 Anglos… The second State GOP Chairman, Norris Wright Cuney, an African-American from Galveston who led the Republican Party from 1883 to 1897, is said by State historians to have held “the most important political position given to a black man of the South in the nineteenth century.”

This is only the beginning of African American history and the Republican Party in the United States. In fact, similar and even greater comparisons can be made with Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and states throughout the South.
So it seems a bit hypocritical when the leaders within the Republican Party leadership speak of going back to the fundamental principles and beliefs of the party without reaching back far enough to bring black Americans back to their true and historical roots. Unfortunately, there appears to be very little concern. Instead, the advice to the party is to pursue the Hispanic vote. A November 26, 2008 Newsmax.com article by James H. Walsh writes, “Its time for Republicans to turn their attention towards this crucial voting bloc. The Hispanic population is growing faster than whites or blacks. For more than 60 years, the nation’s black population has hovered at 13 percent of the total U.S. population…”

In addition, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. senate has also suggested increased effort to corral the Hispanic vote. President George W. Bush made an extreme blunder by appointing Mel Martinez to chair the Republican National Committee, which led to catastrophic results. Martinez’ greatest effort was join others like Sen. John McCain and President George W. Bush in a monumental effort to arrogantly force comprehensive immigration legislation down the throats of the American people! A November 30 NewsMax article quotes Gov. Jeb Bush as saying, “We can’t ignore large segments of our population and expect to win,” Bush said. “We can’t be the ‘old white-guy’ party. It’s just not going to work, the demographics go against us in that regard… Among Hispanic voters, I think we need to change the tone of the conversation as it relates to immigration. In Florida, we’ve not participated much in the chest pounding and the yelling and the screaming.” So having written off the African American community AGAIN, and apparently forever more, the party’s failed leadership prepares for the same, without attempting to restore the severed ties it once held.

For this reason alone, the essence of the entire Republican Party has been missing a very crucial element—its soul! When the average African American looks at this political organization, one sees a group of racist white men doing all they can to protect their money from the poor and the hungry! Originally organized by blacks and white abolitionists, the initial spark and driving force centered around a nucleus of God-given right to life, liberty and opportunity to pursue happiness for all men, regardless of skin color. During the time of slavery and a lengthy period afterwards, blacks-- particularly in the southern states, rallied to form this party and political movement.

Those God-given rights were irrefutable and of such a deeply-conceived concept that the nation went to war with itself to establish this great truth that all men were created equal! It was not just a complicated notion of good-hearted men, but the untiring work of devoted Bible-believing Christians—a group that today’s Republican Party leadership apparently regrets having been associated with—but as the most recent devastating political defeats infer, were no more than impostors incapable of convincing not just blacks, but the majority of the nation that their principles were best!

But if the Republican Party is to return to its true roots, it must have black people playing a major role in the decision-making processes. No one can truthfully say, nor expect success if the leadership falls short of initiating a “homecoming” for African Americans. At this point, though numbering in the millions, the true historical record strongly suggests that they are actually in exile. Being a people deeply-rooted in faith, they have been wandering in a wilderness of moral vacuity as devoted followers of the Democratic Party. Where can they go? Even some abused wives choose to stay with the cruel husband if they see no way out, and for black Americans, the only visible alternative has been to stay home! Even with the election of the first black president in Barack Obama, he is poised to only seal their fate in the tomb of Marxism.

You cannot create a lasting passion over material things, no! Not even taxes! Especially in a society where economic education is practically nil, and the mantra of rich vs. poor has been alowed to become louder than "one nation under God!" This is also because people will change as their own financial concern is satisfied. Besides, free things unfortunately will always be more attractive to the masses than freedom! It must be based upon issues which draw the fervent emotion of the human spirit such as whether a man would be a slave or a free citizen! Is there such a cause?

To be concise, the passion of the party has been wetted by the moderates and political heirs who obtain positions of influence not by merit, but by bloodline and pedigree, speaking and spouting principle without any idea of the fundamental basis for it. Being afraid of their own shadows, they readily undermine and beat up on those who truly hold the nation true to its foundation, and will not to sell out their principles and convictions just to be a part of the Washington insider class, but are simply appreciative in knowing that they are part of the Family of God-- the same God who gave them a nation to live and die for!

So in the memory of such great African Americans like Crispus Attucks, Prince Whipple, Peter Salem, and Oliver Cromwell during the American Revolution; Frederick Douglas, Dread Scott and Harriett Tubman of abolionist fame and those who worked to bring America to its point of success, I earnestly appeal to the Republican Party leadership to "remember the bridge that brought it over!"

A Tribute to Those Who Have Not Bowed

By Rev. M.L. Johnson, D.Min. Theology

This past presidential election has been a historical event in more ways than the nomination and eventual election of America’s first black president. Within the very bowels of the American substance, we find a conflict far greater than the tit-for-tat play of the political process— the spiritual schism within the church— the body of Christ at odds within itself! During such times as these and for this reason, one with the least amount of Biblical knowledge cannot but think of the days of the prophet Elijah when ancient Israel’s king Ahab and his wife Jezebel ruled.

This focus is not on the husband and wife who led the rebellion of God’s people, but the class of religious leaders who adored them. The man of God’s greatest dilemma was in dealing with his religious counterparts—a massive priesthood in contention with him and God. The wicked couple had full reign over the nation, as Jezebel surrounded herself with 800 prophets who worshipped the false gods named Baal and Ashtoreth. An additional 450 prophets were dedicated to sexual immorality as well as other forms of idolatry. It seemed to Elijah that these were the darkest days of his life, having run for his own life after Jezebel’s oath to kill him even at the cost of her own. This man of God had witnessed the executions of untold numbers of God’s own faithful followers, and what was left of God’s chosen people had bowed beneath the shadow of this false religious system.
Jezebel was beaming with confidence, and radiating with power as she and the religious establishment alliance sat around the banquet tables and celebrated their success as the cloud of debauchery covered the nation like a suffocating smoke. Israel’s God Jehovah was out, the heathen god of Baal was in! Holiness, honor and truth were mocked while deception, irreverence and self-gratification were made virtues. The wickedness of the false religion manifested within the acts of the people as they began to institute laws and practices God had historically destroyed nations for. The very center of power was overrun with the vile and profane, while God’s dedicated servants were banished into cultural and social exile. President-elect Obama’s January 20, 2009 inaugural celebration and the following few days may represent the zenith of the convergence of practically every ideology that has worked so hard and for so long to destroy America as we know it! (He has already declared that America in no longer a Christian nation). The preachers who have fought so diligently for his election will have their time to rejoice. The parties and the celebrations will explode with splendor, pomp and pageantry as it did around Jezebel’s table; however, God is not defeated. Even Elijah came to realize this.
That epic moment came at Mt. Carmel between Elijah and the prophets of Baal and culminated with the man of God calling down fire from heaven after Baal’s prophets had failed to do so. That demonstration of God’s power and presence reignited the hearts of the Israelites as they began to reclaim their identity as the children of the most-high God! But the king and queen held fast to their rebellious ways, and the man of God had to flee for his life and hide in the wilderness. In his moment of despair and futility, he was ready to give up, even after such a convincing demonstration of divine assistance and power.
In the wilderness, Elijah cried out to God, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
Tired and weary of the battle, God’s fiery prophet thought that he was the only person left alive in the world—fighting with all of his might to stand for righteousness. But within that stand, he felt so alone in his purposeful work. Having seen so many of Israel’s leadership fall by Jezebel’s sword while others decided to bow and worship Baal, his hope had dried up to the size of a teardrop! It was apparent that Elijah felt that he had made his own last stand! Perhaps you may have felt that you have fought a futile battle, and the hordes of unrighteousness are celebrating their victories. You argued God’s case that it was not good to lift up a man who spoke openly and defiantly against His word. You tirelessly but unsuccessfully debated and pointed out that Jesus is the one true Messiah and God loves even the unborn, but you found that its practically impossible to argue with emotion!
Fellow blacks looked and stared at you in a sense of bewilderment, totally puzzled and ultimately disgusted in your position to deny a black man the opportunity to be president. And now, you are subjected to criticism and even ostracism for your standing against Barack Obama’s presidential election effort. There is still good reason to hold onto the promises of God! Your faith-based position shall withstand even the test of time itself!
With your self-examination, you have sought reason to justify a change in your own position, but the strength of the word of God in your heart would not allow that to happen. His word in not only within your head, it is also within your heart! You’ve been alone, but not weakened; ignored, but brilliant as a light; ridiculed, but encouraged more than ever to hold onto your convictions! It wasn’t that you merely wanted a black man to lead the nation, but more importantly, you wanted a man of any color who feared God above any qualification!
Many may have criticized, but could not challenge you for your steadfastness on God’s word! Your position is not at the expense of unborn babies, nor have you made alliance with the enemies of God. You have stood on the principle that marriage is between one man and one woman. There have been so many reports that not even the most prestigious preacher is able to justify or even satisfactorily explain away his or her departure from the very heart of God’s word. Please recognize that you are not alone! There are many of us who are destined to be united and connected together. As God informed Elijah, “Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him." God is preparing a generation who love Him above all else, and you shall get to meet them! You did not bow, and have proven yourself true to the Savior instead of rationalizing yourself into the membership of the masses.
The stance you have taken is so similar to Elijah’s position—going against the majority! As many of our Christian leaders opted for the thrill of selecting the first black president of the United States, you carefully chose to make a Biblical position superior to a human passion. You have been a critical listener because you are a critical thinker with an uncompromising Christ-mindedness. You have seen the situation from a higher view, recognizing that government is not God, and no man can provide that which only God owns. You refused to sell out your deeply-rooted beliefs even at the enticement of racial pride. Having risen above the ideology of being a black Christian, you have matured into the higher position of being a Christian who happens to be black!
So as the Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy in chapter 2 of his second letter, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ [vs. 1-3].”
So, for not bowing, I salute you. Be encouraged, neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Sinful Nation

Every now and then, we would hear about the economic power of the African American community in terms of how the amount of money flowing through the black community as compared to the GNP of most countries in the world. As a people, over 670 billion dollars are spent each year, with significant increases forthcoming. I’ve heard that if black America were a nation, it could rank as high as 13th in the world in terms of global economic power. When you consider that there are about 195 countries on this earth, that is saying quite a bit about blacks in America—if seen solely from that perspective.
However, if we’re going to use this abstract to prove one point, why not use it to prove another. I suggest that we not stop there and proudly project about black economic potential. I see another perspective that must also be considered in order to present a different paradigm that impacts black America even more than economic power. If we were to continue this extrapolation that examines black America as a nation of itself, let us also consider this “nation” in terms of its moral and spiritual condition. Though not kind, the statistics tell of a truth most disturbing, but must be figured into the equation if we are to come to the correct conclusion. Now top this off with America’s first black president, Barack Obama, the path we have traveled for the last fifty or so years appears to have been manifested in his very person!
As we look into the African American Nation, as a whole, we see issues that are not as flattering as the economic potential. In fact, there are several leading cultural indicators that strongly suggest a nation in trouble—a people who are living in a period comparable with those nations and cultures that have fallen, and have been buried in the sands of time, and history seeks to vaguely recall. These are nations that have collapsed under the weight of not foreign invasion, but the implosion of each society due to internal cultural rot and decay. In other words, similar to nations and empires that found themselves incurring the wrath of God!
· 12-15% enrollment in public school, over 45% special education
· Seventeen of our nation’s 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50%
· 13% of nation’s population, over 50% prison/jail population
· Over 35% of abortions in America are black babies
· Approximately 5% white unemployment, double-digit in black community
· 2005 statistics showed that Black women accounted for 66% of new AIDS cases, compared to 16% White and 16% Latina. Black males accounted for 44% as compared to 34% white and 20% Latino.
· Illegitimate births within the African American community soar above 80% annually.
Should I dare suggest that many of our problems as a people may not stem from an inherently hostile culture, but from a steady departure from the one true God so many of us claim to be devoted to?
Within moments of the surety of Obama being the Democratic Party’s nominee for president of the United States, ripples of excitement seemingly struck black America, from the homeless discarded on the streets to the titular heads of the most formidable mega church/ denominationally elite leaders sprang to his side with a sort of giddiness normally expected of a breathless teenager about to speak to her heart-throb for the very first time. Throwing Biblical principle and Scripture aside, the possibility of being part of the historical moment of placing a black man into the highest office in the land and becoming the most powerful human was too great even for the most revered Christian leaders! I’m afraid that even if Lucifer were to come in the form of an African American, many preachers would follow.
On two occasions in particular, Obama has met with prominent ministers and Christian leaders. The first of note was The Hampton Minister’s Conference held in Hampton, Virginia during the first week of June. Here, the apparent outcome of this gathering of African American pastors was that it became a pro-Obama, religious conversion experience. The second meeting with Obama was held in Chicago less than a week later. To many Christian leaders, the results were the same—especially those from within the black community—an abiding commitment to presidential candidate Barak Obama in spite of questionable ideological positions which conflict with Biblical scripture. Abandoning all sense of principle, there has arisen this lustful urgency to “become a part of history” by supporting this charismatic black man while spiritualizing his arrival as the result of the will of God!
Now if Obama was coming with a message reflective of the Bible, then he would certainly have captured my attention in a more positive and supportive manner, but from my perspective, practically everything he is preaching in public contradicts the gospel. For example, Barrack Obama does not believe that salvation through Jesus Christ alone is the only way to heaven. On March 27, 2004 interview with Cathleen Falsani, part of what Obama truly believes becomes blaringly plain. “… So I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as people…” This is the man whose path the high priesthood of the African American Nation have strewn their coats and palm branches in front of without question nor concern for his spiritual roots. Additionally, Obama states, “… I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell… I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.” In other words, Jesus lied in His declaration in John 14:6 when he stated, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” No person who professes to be a Christian CAN state that there are other ways to heaven as part of their belief system!
Why? It is because of the salvation process that occurs within the heart of any believer. 1 John 4:1-3 provides the test criteria which determines the spiritual make up of an individual—especially of those who supposedly make up the body of Christ! The issue of whether Jesus came in the flesh is a very significant matter. This summarizes God’s intention, Jesus’ purpose and Christ’s fulfillment— God’s manifestation in the flesh who was crucified on Calvary for the sins of the world, but was risen in the flesh on the third day and ascended back to heaven to be seated at the right hand of God! To state that there are other ways to heaven denies the perfect work of Jesus Christ and equates God’s work with that of other deities and religious systems! Remember that in Matthew 15:18, Jesus also said, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.” Acknowledging this great truth tells us that Barack Obama, like many others, shows us what has or has not occurred within his own heart, as verse three of 1 John 4 concludes, And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
The strongest arguments provided by the clergy and citizenry in general stems from Obama’s vague promises of “CHANGE.” The religious leaders of the Christian world apparently translate this into a form of social gospel where there will be provided by the federal government, housing, health insurance, real equal opportunity, food and whatever else is needed—actually most of the things the church is supposed to be providing—they want the government to do for them! The change is really an EX-CHANGE! Trading souls for material gain.
In addition, Obama believes that America is no longer a Christian nation…In a June 2007 speech (available on YouTube) he declared, ”Whatever we once were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers…” That aroused my curiosity enough to start a brief search to see what our national makeup was in light of religion and faith. It did not take long. According to a March 2002 Pew research group survey of 2,002 adults on their religious affiliations, the statistics profoundly contradict Obama’s statement.
· Christian- 82%
· Jewish- 1%
· Other Non-Christian- 1%
· Atheist- 1%
· No Preference- 10%
Another survey by sociologists Barry A. Kosim, Seymour P. Lachman and associates at the Graduate School of the City University of New York conducted an even more scientific study of 113,000 individuals in 1990 and 50,000 in 2001 with similar results, but with Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus representing with less than 1% each. So as Barak Obama throws out “false statements” as fact, he depends upon the population’s emotional acceptance of him instead of them challenging him on fact! Additionally, he is relying upon the nation view of a diminishing significance of Jesus in the heart of the nation—a clear warning sign that the African American Nation’s priesthood seems to be ignoring. In conclusion, it is plain to see that black America is in need of a change—a return to the God of our forefathers—the God we had claimed to have been the instrument of our own deliverance from bondage. Before the African American nation can look down upon the rest of America, it must remove the collective beam from its own eye, and remove itself from the presence of this messianic-like figure who has perverted their sense of moral righteousness.
