Black Pastors Slam Obama Admin’s Equivalence of Gender Identity Ideology with Black Civil Rights
Breitbart ^ | May 13 2016 | DR. SUSAN BERRY

Posted on 05/15/2016 7:31:53 AM PDT by Whenifhow

The president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) says that the Obama administration’s assertion that single-sex bathrooms are discriminating against gender-confused individuals in much the same way that blacks experienced discrimination in the United States is a “gross insult” to all who fought for equality for African-Americans.

“There is simply no relation between the struggles that Black Americans have faced and the desire of a tiny minority group to violate the dignity and privacy of women and girls,” said Rev. Bill Owens in a statement sent to Breitbart News. “To suggest some sort of equivalence is a gross insult to all of those who marched with Dr. King and faced fire hoses and hatred in the name of equality.”

Obama has also come out in support of legislation that would amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Owens describes HR 3185 as “an affront to the Black community and a theft of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.”

“Black Pastors will not allow the homosexual and transgender community to rob Black Americans of their battle for civil rights!” he asserts. “If the Rev. Martin Luther King were alive to see this today, he would be angered in the same way that Jesus was angered when he turned over the tables of the money changers.”

Owens referred to attempts by the Obama administration to make the LGBT political and social engineering agendas the equivalent of civil rights a “theft and outrageous extortion and usurpation of the Civil Rights Movement.”

“Transgendered persons are not asking for equal rights—they are asking for special rights that violate the privacy of women and simple common sense,” Owens added.

None of them will get any attention on the morning shows because their last names aren’t “Sharpton” or “Jackson”.

I said the same. It’s not just civil rights but his minions have compared it to slavery.

Virtually everyone by now who hasn’t been in a coma for the past seven years knows that obama’s a demented egomaniac and an egregious incompetent.

If you – especially any American blacks – need a refresher on the racil cynicism of the DEMOCRATS, well, HERE YA' GO!

Isn't it past time for you folks to get the hell off the Democrat plantation?
