"Johnson, Navin R. Sounds like a typical run-of-the-mill bastard."

Statistically, he is more likely to be shot by another black man.

She didn't say anything about the race of a possible shooter.

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

  1. Commitment to God
  2. Commitment to the Black Community
  3. Commitment to the Black Family
  4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
  5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
  6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
  7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
  8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
  9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
  10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
  11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
  12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

  1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
  2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
  3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
  4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
  5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
  6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
  7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
  8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
  9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
  10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Good grief, what a spiteful and calculating woman. MZ. Obsama is an excellent example of black racism, which is a long overdue discussion in this country. If her husband could be killed at a gas station, what are the odds that the killer would be a black man? I am a white woman who wears expensive clothes, jewelery, and drives a high end car. How likely is it that I could be killed at a gas station? Black thug culture is more dangerous than anything else going on in the U.S. these days.

The acid test for true racists is that they never can flip over and see the other side of the coin.

“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

In Chicago? Give me an effing break. He stands a far greater chance of getting shot by another black man than getting shot because he's (half) black.

I only heard the clips on Drudge last night...and the bit about how she's making him quit smoking. She's not our charming Laura, that's for sure.

She did NOT "play the race card."

She was responding to a legitimate question from Steve Kroft.

It has been well-known that Alma Powell was dead-set against Colin running for President for fear of his life.

My cousin, a white Police Officer responding to a robbery, was shot by a black man robbing a gas station.

Yes, the black man was eventually shot as the fellow officers returned fire.

So yes, I can attest that Obama's wife is correct in her assertions.

Obama "Osama" Hussein Barack and Michelle "Teresa Heinz Kerry" Barack are going to make this an interesting election.

I'm wondering how it's going to pan out if Hillary gets the nomination and not Barack, and if Barack does NOT run as her VP candidate. Will the black community stay home in droves as a protest? Would it begin the erosion of the blind-faith that the black community has put in the Democratic party for so long?

Having his wife do his dirty work for him. LOL. At least Jesse is man enough to be a race pimp himself.

Well, Michelle, I don't know whether being half Black has anything to do with it, but its true that more Americans have died in some of our US cities than have died in Bagdad, this past year. I think that Philadelphia had something like 457 murders last year. Maybe, your husband should rethink his call to bring those troops home.

Hillary Clinton gets elected President and is spending her first night in the White House. She has waited so long.......... The ghost of George Washington appears, and Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"

Washington says, "Never tell a lie." "Ouch!" Says Hillary, "I don't know about that."

The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears... Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?" Jefferson says, "Listen to the people." "Ohhh! I really don't want to do that."

On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears... Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?" Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."

She didn't sound like one, either.

You're right, she didn't.

I was just making an observation.

When was the last time Baracak went to a gas station?

Same thing I was thinking.
