CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV/AP) - A black woman has filed a lawsuit against the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), saying she was abruptly fired from the organization after complaining it was not reaching out to African-Americans.

Kimberly McCallum of Charlotte says in the lawsuit filed in Mecklenburg County that she was the only black employee working in the association's executive offices when she started there in February 2007.

“saying she was abruptly fired from the organization after complaining it was not reaching out to African-Americans”

It must be a bummer when playing the race card backfires.

Perhaps she has been listening to Jeremiah Wright; that would explain things.

Don’t assume Graham’s enterprise was conservative.

This is getting absolutely disgusting.

I keep having this mental image of a black unrepentant sinner being sent to Hell and yelling at God “You’re RACIST!”.........

Anybody seriously think the ‘racism card’ is gonna fly at that moment?

They are digging themselves in deeper and deeper and just asking for civil war.

It’s insane the way the wee wee’d up white boys and girls in the Marxist Democ’RAT party are throwing the race card around more than the minorities are.

Unless something changed while I was on Vacation, a private entity is still basically free to hire and fire as they please...

It seems she got upset when she learned that out 635 prospective churches she was asked to recruit for a camp, only three had congregations that were primarily black.

I don’t know what to say.

I’m glad she was fired for whining. Race has no place with the children of God. We are all equal in His eyes.

Unless they have government contracts (obviously not the case here.)

IMO some people believed that an Obama presidency would put an end to America's race problems. I was not one of them.

As usual, some in the black community are incapable of sensible reasoning and an unbiased thought process. They apparently are internally programmed to resort to the lame response of "racism" as a defense, even when race plays absolutely no role in the issue discussed.

In all fairness, there are biased people of every race, nationality, religion, etc. who were behind the door when common sense was given out. Yet the cry of racism from too many blacks, for some reason, stands out more than other prejudices, I think.
