“Dad confessed that he simply could not bring himself to go against a black man in the White House.”
Nothing racist about that...
Glad to see the pastor has been awakened to the reality of his blind vote(s).
My Irish grandma was the same way. Voting Democrat was an article of faith for her. Reagan made the difference.
And of course, there's nothing remotely racist about that, now is there? <sarcasm>
Just another democrat/black hypocrite, who can't see that this is every bit as racist as someone NOT supporting Obama because he is (half) black.
MLK must be spinning like a gyroscope in his grave...
I grew up in the south and never have I heard of rubbing a black person’s head for luck...
Yes, but put another way - there were more white men who did nothing to the old Pastor than those who did…..and yet…..
That sounds like my father in Detroit, except his epiphany has yet to happen. As far as my dad is concerned, race relations in America are the same as during the Eisenhouer administration.
And a distorted view that undying loyalty to Obama exacts revenge on white people.
In my view, many who profess Christ in the black community believe another gospel. Most have been taught the social gospel and are unable to recognize what is and is not biblical Christianity, and that leads to this huge disconnect in the political arena. True Holy Spirit regeneration would do wonders for the political views of most blacks, not to mention what it would do for their souls.
And the truth is another gospel is now being preached among large swaths of white evangelicalism, too.
Ninety-five percent of blacks approve of the Marxist Mulatto. Let that number sink in: NINETY-FIVE PERCENT. If you lined up twenty blacks, nineteen of them love Odinga.
LBJ is quoted as saying, "I'll have those n***ers voting Democrat for 200 years." The siren song of "Where's my free $hit?" ensures their loyalty. Only 150 years to go...
1 John 4:4(KJV)
Imagine if a white person had said he could not go against a white person in the white house?
Racism works both ways...
And this “late convert to christianity” has done a whole lot more for muslims than for christians or jews.
Those same blacks have chosen the ‘black man in the White House’ instead of the United States of America too.
Racist to the core... they’d rather see the destruction of our country than go against a ‘black man in the White House’.
They are blind to anything but his color. And we’re the ones who are racist.
Personally, I’d vote for Clarence Thomas any day. Would they? Is it ANY black man? or is it THIS black man? Does their black man have to have this kind of thinking to be ‘revered’?
It’s never made any sense to me why obama is worthy of their allegiance. He makes them look bad. Do they realize this? To get a man in that position to revere... who isn’t worth the platform they have him on. Where has it gotten them, but living off the government. It hasn’t furthered them up the ladder of success.
Just doesn’t make any sense.
“Dad said, “I don’t hate white people, but my scars run very deep – calling me a n***** and rubbing my head for luck.”
Rubbing a black person’s head for luck? I’ve never heard of that practice before.
Sadly, very true. Unfortunately, I don't think most Black "chrstians" will confront this conundrum at all.
When I look at him, I see his 1960's hippie, America Hating white mother and his grandfather with a best friend Chicago black (Frank Marshall Davis) who was/is a card carrying Communist.
Evidently, all many blacks see is skin pigment.
While I hear what the good pastor is saying--he doesn't hate white people; I also hear that he isn't forgetting or forgiving, either.
Good old politics of victimization is alive and flourishing.

In my opinion, and I’m more of a layperson than a theological expert, the anti-Christ will not be an outwardly evil person. He may be kindly, warm, and friendly. But he will stand in opposition to Christ’s message. He will serve to negate Christ and deliver men away from Christ. He’ll speak a secular message designed to fool people into a false salvation.
If a crook walks up to you wearing a mask and holding a gun you’ll resist but if he wears a suit and a smile he’ll pick your pocket clean.
That’s why I think some people focus on the secular message of Jesus and ignore the spiritual teachings. They want the motion of salvation of which they won’t receive. If deeds alone...
Blacks, even many godly Christian Black men, seem to feel that their undying allegiance and loyalty is to another Black person — no matter what — at the expense of the Lordship of Jesus.
Similarly, Jewish people hold their cultish liberal political views in complete idolatry over the Savior.
Other people use other means to put their trust and hope in things a belief system rather than in Christ.
I salute Lloyd and his father for coming to the cross in this manner. It is an example to all of us.
IF his accounting of his lineage is accurate, he is seven eighths white anyway. Unless you count the 3/8 Arab as nonwhite, that is.
re: Dad chuckled and replied without hesitation, “It will be to Jesus Christ.”
Marcus got the answer that he wanted from his dad. But will his dad continue to support Obama no matter what like nearly 100% of blacks in this country?
