One pastor asserted that Obama cannot relate to the struggle of those who marched 50 years ago.
During a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the historic civil rights march in Selma, Ala., Barack Obama offered a speech that left many minority leaders flabbergasted.
“Ask your gay friend if it’s easier to be out and proud in America now than it was 30 years ago,” he said, leading a number of faith leaders to criticize his equation of the relative struggle for inclusion by blacks and homosexuals.
Breitbart spoke to Coalition of African American Pastors’ member William Owens, who explained backlash to Obama’s comments was near-universal.
“I marched with many people back in those days,” he said, “and I have reached out to some of my friends who marched with me and all of them are shocked.”
Owens went on to criticize Obama even further for the perceived slight, calling him a “disgrace to the black community” and asserting that he is “rewriting history” by including gay rights in a discussion of the 1965 civil rights march.
“We didn’t suffer and die for gay marriage,” he said. “We marched for opportunity, equality, justice, freedom from oppression.”
Furthermore, Obama was not an active member of the civil rights movement, Owens said, but rather a recipient of the advances those activists helped secure.
“He has benefited from those of us who did march,” he said, “but for President Obama to say we marched so that gays would have the right to marry today is a disgrace and a lie.”
Finally, he accused the gay rights movement of using the civil rights message as a catapult from which to launch its own social agenda.
“The LGBT community hijacked our movement,” Owens said, “a movement they know nothing about. President Obama is delusional to compare our struggle with the struggle for marriage equality. Gays have not had fire hoses or dogs unleashed at them. They have not been hung from trees or denied basic human rights.”
It is dawning on them that they are moving from Minority #1 to lower and lower as Hispanics, homosexuals and muzzies move to the top.
I would be pissed also if I was black and the president and MSM kept comparing perverts struggles with my struggles...

oops ,Obama took the Wrong Speech with him ,LOL
How come the great Gaybama hasn't come out...?

This Black minister and the others are hypocrites. Every television and radio newscast since 2008 has praised Obama to the skies for being a champion of "gay rights" including for pushing African countries to alter their cultures and to embrace sodomy. This is a secret to absolutely no one. Yet they still support him 99.999% and will still do so. In fact, I'd be willing to bet (were I a betting person) that Owens would gladly vote for him a third time were he given the opportunity.
Black "chrstians" cannot plead ignorance of the fact that the liberal media that loves them so much has vilified conservative white chrstians precisely for being opposed to homosexuality and calling them "racists." No Black pastoral voice has ever been raised a single time to defend their white "co-religionists." Pro-Black liberal whites have spent decades dumping scorn on white chrstians who interpret Genesis literally, while Black "chrstians" have been nowhere to be found to stand beside their alleged "co-religionists."
Furthermore this pastor refuses to face the fact that almost every single Black politician in this country with the exception of a very few Republican "uncle toms" whom they repudiate are all extreme left wing radicals on every single issue across the board. Yet these so-called "pastors" never call them out and indeed endorse them election after election after election while their white liberal enablers let them get away with politicking--something no conservative white preacher would ever get away with.
And finally, unless these people come clean and admit that King and that whole generation of "pastors" were nineteenth century German-style liberal Protestants who believed absolutely nothing except that the Bible has some nice fairy tales that teach ethical lessons, none of them are worth a dime. King's theology is not a secret. They hide from this truth just as they hide from what they have been allied with for fifty years.
Jews--even leftist, secularist Jews--have not secularized this country. This country was secularized by hymn-singin', "spirit-filled," "I-done-seen-the-light" Black chrstians (so-called). There are not enough Jews in this country to secularize it. But you watch some of these con men try to pass the blame onto the Jews. You just wait.
I used to admire Black Americans so much. They seemed to me plugged into something deep and primal eternal that white people had forgotten about. I wasn't happy about their political leanings but understood their origins. But I always told myself that when the chips were down and the you-know-what really hit the fan, they would be true to their religion. I told myself one day there would come a line they simply would not cross. I was wrong. And my disappointment has made me bitter as hell. I'm sorry.
Black Americans could have been a truly noble, saintly people, an inspiration to the entire world. They opted instead to support absolute evil without the slightest qualm and to attack and terrorize as "racists" anyone else who sought to stand against that evil.
You remember the genie in the story who waited so long to be released from the bottle that when the day finally came he wanted to destroy his liberator? That is exactly how I feel.
Punish the wicked, O L-rd!
57 million babies killed, and not a peep from any of these prostitutes.
You said it!
Q: Why are most black people democRATs?
A: Soviet Union, 1960s.
57 million little bodies (containing God-given souls) were torn apart and thrown in the trash. And we expect God to bless our nation?
Are there no sane people left? Take a small portion of the Earth and build a hovel. Grow some food and raise a small family. Simple things...
No. Everyone wants to be rich and powerful and flaunt the natural order. Crazy personality disorders craving for attention and “respect”. As though anyone could respect what they do. I do not know how they get in positions of power, other than other cowards slip streaming in behind them, hoping to catch some crumbs.
Why should he? He has only 50% black blood and 0% slave blood in him. And he was raised by his rich liberal white grandparents. How could he possibly relate to the struggle?
Jesse Lee Peterson
That’s a pretty good call IMO.
Sweet irony - the "religious sect of the Blacks" now assert that the most racist president ever is not racist enough...
Fire hoses, dogs, and hanging.
That will stop the faggots cold.
Thanks Owens
Not sure if that is correct, but just as Trey Gowdy tells us that the power to subpoena is only as effective as the accompanying power (or lack thereof) to force compliance, what the laws say are no longer an indication of the reality. With military being told that they cannot expect promotions if they don't "exhibit a real tolerance for the various sexual lifestyles", it is only a mater of time before they are protected fully (they will be right and everyone who disagrees will be wrong).
Who knows, when Obama relates one to the other, he may be signalling that what I just said is being prepped to go into affect.
sodomites and negroes marching arm in arm.....thru the decades
lincoln freed them both and the civil war gave them freedom.. liberals remember it well... watch ya butt boys.... fwd march...gimme your left
You are correct that some have stood up for the truth. But I wouldn’t say I’ve missed it ‘badly’.
There were 4 guys that put out a Youtube video a while back, one of whom was a pastor. A couple of days later, his church was broken into and vandalized.
Rev Guillory in Louisiana is labeled a traitor because he walked away from them.
I know there are black pastors that have stood up for the truth, but they’re not getting anytime in the media to put out their message and at the end of the day, that is their fault.
