Most things in life are offensive. We are reactive beings. It’s Darwinian programming. Environments of thought, social interaction, culture, surrounding conditions, peers, enemies, and allies, all are fluid with us reacting in a high to low level of resistance. We are not to live as Jello seeking a soft spot to hide out.

described children being in a home without a father as “abortion after birth” and said black lives do not matter unless blacks stop killing each other.

He was not wrong.

The pastor told the truth, but blacks don’t want discipline, they want happy fun times and screwing for all!

Every weekend in Chicago proves a few dozen blacks don’t matter.

Looking at that photo of Clinton leering and Al Sharpton being transfixed by Ariana’s booty, one half expects to see Clinton and Sharpton high-fiving each other, with Al saying “that’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!”

Be fair. ALL human beings want that. It's the basic sinful nature of mankind.

Not objecting to the pastor who sexually assaulted Arianna Grande. No, the one who insisted on Christian values.

“Freeway of Love” was perhaps the most embarrassing song of the 1980s.

In those pictures from the VIP row it’s all eyes on the prize, so to speak.

Also, if they didn’t want it to turn political why sit politicians in a place of prominence rather than, you know, old politicians.

I’m glad you outlined this was a conservative pastor

Because freepers DO NOT read the story

This preacher was spot on

Spot on

The problem with the black race in a nut

That captures it accurately, it’s so funny how these libs write their own jokes then play them out.

“He spoke for 50 minutes and at no time did he properly eulogize her,” said Vaughn Franklin, the late singer’s nephew, who said he was delivering a statement for the family.
Y'know, because everything else that was said was on-point. Oh, and having Farrakhan attend was 100 percent appropriate.

If the pastor just brought this stuff up out of the blue then I think critism is warranted. On the other hand if he was responding to subjects others had brought up and was otherwise focused in the life of the deceased then the critism would be hypocritical.
