Pastor (Ken Hutcherson): Obama has no 'black experience' to speak of

A conservative black pastor and former NFL linebacker says he's highly offended that President Obama would compare the plight of homosexuals to that of blacks during the Civil Rights Era.

On Monday, President Obama told a gathering of homosexuals at the White House that he is aware that many of them "don't believe progress has come fast enough," and compared their struggles to those of blacks during the Civil Rights Movement.
 
Ken Hutcherson, the senior pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington, says the comments are especially disturbing from an individual who is supposed to be familiar with "the black experience."
 
"But I guess we...have to ask, 'Even though he is black because his father was, what is his "black experience"?' He doesn't have any. He was raised by a white mother and a white grandmother, so this man has about as much black experience as my Doberman Pinscher -- and I guarantee [that] my Doberman Pinscher doesn't have any," he points out. "There is nothing, nothing that compares between what the Afro-Americans went through and what homosexuals are going through now."
 
Hutcherson expresses disgust with evangelicals who still support President Obama, despite his promotion of policies that are at odds with scripture. He says such individuals are part of the "evangellyfish" movement in America.
 
"A person can be as black as a piece of coal, [but] if he goes against God's biblical views, I would not support him, I would not endorse him, I would not even give a smile in his direction so people could even think that I endorse him," he states, "because God is my God, the Bible is my playbook, and I run it the way it is written."
 
During his speech to homosexuals on Monday, Obama suggested that Christians like Hutcherson who oppose homosexuality on biblical grounds hold to "worn arguments and old attitudes." (See earlier article)

Amen! Love this Pastor!

PROUDLY clinging to my worn arguments and old attitudes like the best pair of shoes I ever owned—they just don’t make arguments and attitudes like they used to.

“The Hutch” always provides the best show when he an Rush discuss the upcoming Super Bowl. His predictions are almost always right on.

Ken Hutcherson is 100% correct. Obama has no idea what the black experience is like.
Obama might ask Michelles, but she doesnt know either. She had a relatively easy life. The only thing she got from being black was the bigotry. It appears Obama got that too, somewhere.

No experience as a black, relatively little experience as a legislator ,and no experience with leadership.

PS. As an economist he cant even friggin count.

Obama’s “blackness” is a lie. How many black people surf?

[freekitty]

Amen to this man is right.

[freespirited]

It’s my understanding that gays in this country have more discretionary income than any of the commonly considered demographic groups. How in the world can they be compared with blacks of any era?

I’m with the pastor.

[Albion Wilde]

Ken Hutcherson is an awesome speaker and advocate for life.

With apologies to Irving Berlin:

THE VICTIMHOOD SONG

You can claim victimhood, but I can claim it better,

No you can’t!
Yes I can!
No you can’t!
Yes I can!
No you can’t!
Yes I can!
Yes I can!

Anyway you can whine, I can whine greater
Sooner or later you will see, I’m a much greater whiner than you.
No you’re not!
Yes I am!
No you’re not!
Yes I am!
No you’re not!
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
Yes I am!!!!!!

That is funny.

I once seen a black person who was into scuba diving. I had to take a double take. Funny how are perceptions of different people are formed. I think it was in boot camp when I learned that most black folks don’t take to water.

I am so loving this guy!

I had a black woman, the mother of a classmate of my daughter, tell me black people don’t like water because of slavery. It’s a genetic disposition that they are afraid of sharks because so many of their ancestors became shark food on the crossing from Africa to slavery.
I looked at her and said, it’s a POOL, fresh water, you can see the bottom, and no sharks!

I'm looking forward to hearing Rush's thoughts on these comments by the Hutch.

Too bad we have to wait for whenever it is that he decides to fill in for the Guest Hosts again.

My brother, who I can guarantee is black, used to surf when he lived in my state. My daughter, who is biracial, surfs. I grew up in Va Beach and it is my experience that black people (usually guys) do surf. Its pretty rare, though. That being said, I did not, nor will I ever, vote for Obama.

You must have been born before 1970 to think that is still true. Not true, hence the numerous black swimmers and lifeguards that I have seen in my own “black experience”.

[brwnsuga]

Please, do not believe that woman’s out-dated mode of thinking. I hate stereotypes. That is complete bullshi*t. One has only to drive to one of the numerous beaches in my area to see tons of black people on and in the water having a good time. And the children at the pool and the lifeguards...my goodness.

I remember when homosexuals where kept on plantations for forced labor to enrich their owners. They were traded, sold and bartered like cattle.

Homosexual families were torn asunder for profit. Homos were considered to be only 3/5ths of a human being.

A great civil war and many major political battles were fought to set them free, and yet even after all this, their rights languished under the yoke of onerous laws for a century.

The battle for queer rights has been a constant underlying theme in American history.
