If you think there is not a crisis in Black Leadership in America think again. If you think the conscience of the afro-American community isn’t being seared and we have become callous and insensitive to moral truth please, please, think again...

If you had not noticed the most heralded and prestigious African-American organization in America within the space of 3 months endorsed the most destructive and decimating practices in the Black community.

The NAACP put their stamp of approval on the practice of infant killing and marriages between men with men and women with women. Abortion and same sex marriage.

Have we come so far to be so unfaithful? Have we gone so far left that we don’t know what right is?

In his prophetic "I have a dream" speech, Martin Luther King said," Let freedom ring till righteousness rolls down like a mighty river." Martin Luther King draws a direct correlation between righteousness and freedom. You can not have one without the other.

"As an Afro-American who has directly benefited from the efforts of the NAACP and their courageous efforts, it saddens me greatly to se this vast disparity of the values of the for runners and those who carry the torch today.

With 14 million Afro-American children killed in the womb since 1973, how can the president of the NAACP censor a resolution to discus and caucus on this issue? Every 3rd abortion in America is on Black women. It is the most common surgical procedure performed on Afro-American women.

The prestigious Black institution like Howard University performed a study that found African-American women over the age of 50 are 4.7 times more likely to contract breast cancer if they had had even one abortion than compared with women who had none.

Another study in Dayton revealed that 81% of the Afro-American women that had gone through an abortion registered some type of psychological complaint. 60% said they had feelings of guilt, 49% described feelings of great remorse, 55% reported crying and bouts with deep depression, 55 % said they could not forgive them selves.

Since the abortion industry goes to great lengths to keep this crucial information from its clients it is imperative that these facts are brought to the forefront of discussion in the Black community.

"Frustration does not adequately describe my feelings about the misplaced priorities of the NAACP.

In September of 2003 Quasi Enfume writes the owners of Kentucky Fried Chicken and demands they end their current method of how they slaughter their chickens.. Mr. Enfume is outraged over the inhumane way Kentucky Fried Franchise slaughters their chickens!

Then 6 months later he endorses the dismemberment of Black babies in the womb at the rate of 1,452 a day, 4,000 babies over all. The board calls it a "historic occasion." My question to Mr. Enfume and the executive board of the NAACP is this, IS IT ABOUT CHICKEN"S OR CHILDREN!!!!?

In the same letter he requested a response to his concerns about chickens being put to death. Then months later he refuses to answer our concerns and those chapters he represents about the slaughter of Black children in the womb. Now if that wasn’t enough, not only did they not answer our letter of request (resolution) but it is censored.

Not given due process. All resolutions are to be printed so the delegates can read with an explanation from the convention leadership for the reason for its rejection. Not so it this case. We were denied due process by an institution that’s supposed to ensure I get due process.

My, my, my, how far left have we gone that we don’t understand what right is anymore! The issue of abortion will not go away till freedom rings for everyone from the womb to the tomb.

Now, who would ever think that you would one day have to define marriage? How is it that even what nature proves to be unnatural we must now choose to redefine.

With 70%of our children growing up in single family households, misguided souls try to minimize the key factor in the home, the Father.

Studies show the way a child responds to their Father will determine their sexuality. It is about orientation! If your orientation is distorted so will your perception be of your sexuality.

Therefore you can not give civil rights to ones sexual orientation. The orientation could and often (due to the state of the home), breed perversion.

" Their women did change the natural use that which is against nature, Men leaving the natural use of the women burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly Romans chapter 1:verses 25 & 26"

I certainly hope that the nice folks at the NAACP, don't expect Obama to do anythin' for them, as president, above or beyond what he does for any other American.
Nevermind. Iff'n the folks that marched on city hall, last night, are any example of the mindset of NAACP members, then they'll expect everythin', while offerin' society nuthin'.
The best analysist I can think of is our former President John F. Kenneddy ( JFK.) He was the first Catholic President elected and many thought that the Pope would be on the first plane to D.C. to help JFK run the country. Everyone just knew that was going happen. When it didn't well JFK was able to settle into running the country with out the nation being in fear that the Pope would have a say in how our government would be run.

As it turned out Catholic and non-Catholics alike shared the same constitutional rights the same because they were Americans and not of a certain religious affiliate. We are all free people with the same rights and all are protected by the same constitution. All means all.

09.22.04 La Shawn Barber:

The Immorality of Race Preferences

I was asked to explain why I believe race preferences are immoral.

Immorality is the state of being immoral. An immoral thing is that which is contrary to accepted principles of right and wrong. Morality is conformity to ideals of right human conduct. For a primer on right human conduct, I direct you to God’s word, the Bible.

Natural rights, as well as those found in the Constitution, belong to individuals, not groups. If an individual is discriminated against because of his race, he should be compensated, not his entire racial group. There is no such thing as Group Rights. An individual has a right to seek redress from injury from a particular institution, not an entire race.

Skin color preferences bestow undeserved advantage on some and undeserved burdens on others. Such an idea is anathema to democracy and freedom. Why should people be compensated for a wrong they did not suffer? Why should some be penalized for a wrong they did not commit?

A person’s sex or skin color doesn’t entitle him to special favors or treatment. Skin color or sex doesn’t entitle anyone to receive less or more consideration. Giving one group preferred status over another group is unjust, especially when done by our own government. It is against the law and in violation of the U.S. Constitution, regardless of intentions.

The idea that we can “fix” history by preferring the race once discriminated against over the race once doing the discriminating is flat out wrong, not to mention counterintuitive.

So because some people are bigots, it's OK for you to be one? What's that going to gain you?

no it's NOT ok for me to be a bigot, and I'm sorry if you see it that way, but I think it's ok and necessary for me to be aware, especially of white supremacy and its affects.

Your biggest social difficulty is my biggest difficulty. We both have to guess when someone is playing dominance games or are just really clueless in a prejudicial way.

Where we probably need to meet in the middle is when the ignorant retreat into dominance games and start bluffing when they're just plain wrong and won't admit it.

It's hard to switch between being diplomatic and pushing back when pushed, but I can't think of any other way for the exploited to organize.

please don't get me wrong because I feel you are sincere, however look at the world from where I walk.

Do whites have to worry about whether racism is the reason for those in power to show their dominance? We have to concerned ourselves on two fronts of exploitation. Racism, which attacks the Will and psyche of the non white person and results in self genocide among other things, and then the europeans need for power and control that they exert over EVERYONE less powerful or more poor than they.

That's why I laugh at whites who claim that blacks can be racist. It's a silly notion, but I understand why they push it.

White kills white 46.1%
Black kills black 40.7%
Black kills white 8.5%
White kills black 3.5%
Other kills other 0.6%
Other kills white 0.4%
White kills other 0.2%
Black kills other 0.1%
Other kills black 0.0%
Total 100.0%
so it appears you are correct.

Yes, they do. They also have to worry about sexism and religious discrimination, just like everyone else. The color of one's skin is harder to hide but that doesn't stop a lot of Asians from being very successful.

Granted, there are other factors in play but if you intend to "solve" racism with a mandate that your whole race be brought into grace through one act, that act will have to contain a very profound truth. Revenge won't do it and it shouldn't even be considered.

There was a very recent article here about Tasmanian Devils "evolving" in a very short time as a result of a disease killing the population. Most likely, there hasn't been a new mutatiion, just a selection process that has modified the statistical nature of the species.

Civilization is a similar selective process that has had more time to modify some cultures than others. The question for YOU is whether or not you'll let that process happen or whether you think you can stop the trend. Ask yourself honestly what you think is within your power.

I tend to think that there are cycles. Whoever is top dog today may be the +urd muncher tommorrow. There are better things to engage in than pure politics of power.

How can Obama claim to be a "uniter" when his religion is based upon racism, i.e. black liberation theology. Here are a few statements from James H. Cone, one of the founders of black liberation theology, about the nature of Obama's religion, and you tell me if they are consistent with Christianity or "unification."

(1) "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

(2)“To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people."

(3) "While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism."

(4) "All white men are responsible for white oppression."

(5) "Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil."

(6) "If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it."

I recommend that you do a little research on Obama’s so-called religion, black liberation theology. First, here is a link to Obama’s church where they admit they preach black liberation theology, and that it is based on the teachings of James H. Cone. They offer his seminal book about Obama’s religion on their site, also. It is called “Black Theology and Black Power.”

I'm sorry but I actually looked at your URL.

It seems to me that you've done some creative paraphrasing of its content.

Would you be so kind as to link to the original text and then explain the reasons you used to reword things the way you have?

If you don't do exactly that, I suggest that all forum respondents treat your post as pure racist propaganda.

Obama speaking to the naacp is a slap in the face of white people. It's no different than if McCain were to speak to the kkk. Both groups push the advancement of their own through the discrimination of others.

Whoa,'Obama speaking to the NAACP is a slap in the face of Caucasian Americans?' What is it when McCain or other Caucasian Americans politicans address a NAACP audience? Speaking to the NAACP is equal to the KKK - now? The KKK was a terrorist organization who used violence - violented the law - to maintain status quo. The NAACP is an organization who uses the law to challenge some aspects of status quo. Your last line is just as incredible - you are the "EASYONE."
