Barack Obama has finally distanced himself from Rev. Jeremiah Wright after a_20-year_relationship, but the pastor who is replacing Wright at Chicagos Trinity United Church of Christ is likely to be just as controversial.
New Trinity pastor Otis Moss has called Biblical patriarch Abraham a pimp and made other statements many would consider offensive.
After Obama called Wrights comments divisive and destructive, a questioner noted that Rev. Moss has defended Wright and asked if Obama would continue attending the church.
Well, the new pastor, the young pastor, Reverend Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor, Obama responded. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community.
Moss, the 37-year-old hip-hop pastor, as hes called by congregants, will become head of Trinity in June, after serving as an assistant pastor there for two years.
But a videotape of a sermon he delivered at Wrights church shows this wonderful young pastor referring to ghetto prophets and thug theology, calling the late rapper Tupac Shakur a prophet, and reciting at length lyrics to Shakurs song Thugz Mansion.
Moss also states in the sermon:
Jesus has a soft spot for thugs.
God is always using thugs to do Gods work.
Everyone has a little bit of thug in them.
Noah was a thug who was drinking much gin and juice and got drunk on the eve of reconstruction.
Abraham pimped his own wife.
Jacob was a hustler who stole his own brothers birthright.
Moses was a thug and if he got mad would give you a royal beatdown.
Sampson was a thug and a player.
David was a thug, a shot caller, and a player, and a man after Gods own heart.

Even the Bible must be reduced to its lowest common denominator and the language translated to Ebonics to “get across” to the sympathy slaves of the Black Liberation Theology ....
Integration of fire and water will not work...it only builds “steam”
One will eventually “extinguish” the other....
No shocker here. American voters, IMO, better wake up and start paying attention.
I agree. This just confirms that there are two sets of rules regarding racism.
Otis Moss is a thug, or so it would seem.
Ah yes, nothing quite like lauding thugs to make you point from the pulpit.
Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sure his reference to thuggery was taken out of context. But then, isn’t everything at that “church”?
“Oh, Im sorry, Im sure his reference to thuggery was taken out of context. But then, isnt everything at that church?”
Exactly.
I don’t think we are allowed to Excerpt Newsmax anymore. Correct me if I’m wrong
I don't know...
This isn’t a Christian church, and the people profitting from it aren’t ministers. God must love stupid people, because He makes a lot of them.
pimping out all the Official WH rides
replacing limos with pink pimp cadillacs
requiring all WH staff to cronk their teeth
Flavor-Flav-ing Secret Service
mandating all WH correspondence begin with "Yo! Word up!"
Hey, any criticism of these statements is an attack on the “Black Church”!
Me, I go to the White Church.
These are the very same parishioners complaining the most about being “disrespected” by non-black society...
Well — if they behave as fools, talk like fools, follow fools, elect fools and ignore facts as fools — almost any rational educated person would consider them fools.
It’s very difficult to respect a fool, and dangerous to trust one.
Tupak Shakur. "It is my assessment he is the greatest prophetic contradiction of the last half of the 20th Century of the black community birth..."Say what?

Our new worship center has a Black ceiling. It is above the white man. Does that count?
Newsmax can be posted on FR but it must be posted as an excerpt.
The Rev. Otis:
Shake off your bourgeois paradigms
for just a moment...
Everybody has some thug proclivities,
Some ghetto tendencies,
Some countrified activities -
This is derivative of country and ghetto.
Say what?
I think I would rather listen to Rev. Wright’s racist ass for a hour than this clown for 30 minutes.
It doesn’t matter if what he says makes any sense, because he is using big words........
