Are African-Americans Choosing Islam Over Christianity?

Retarded question. Most blacks are Christian; Baptist, Methodist, AME, CME, AME Zion and other various smaller denominations. NOI is well down the line there, and traditional Islam is well down the list.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I refuse to ever say "african american" …

I have had black friends who also refused to use the term and would vehemently deny being “African-American” when called by that term. Two were from New Guinea and weren’t American citizens. Both had traditional tribal/clan facial tattoos. Both had American accents with just a slight touch of New Zealand sounds. American blacks still insisted on referring to them as “African-American”. Another was Australian Aboriginal, also not an American citizen.
Unless someone can demonstrate they are indeed “African”, I won’t take a chance on insulting their heritage.

If you notice the black comedians and rappers who seem to be anti-establishment ("white") make alot of money. If you notice many of their fans are white children trying to piss of their parents. It was the same with jazz and the blues and disco funk. From Fats Domino to the Fat Boys and so on. This country is about dollar and not race. Race is just a tool used by those in power to separate those not in power. Those not in power just fall for it. If the middle class and poor whites would ban together with their non white counterparts ,the politicians would be in trouble!
Uneducated or non wealthy whites face a sort of discrimination among affluent , "establisment" white as well. Just not as defined. Not to mention it is more likely for a family to accept a poor white girl of the same race (you can always lie about her background) than a black (black is too easy to notice). The Irish , Italian, and Jews used to face more discrimination than they did until the WASPS realized they needed more people on their side.

The prophet also did not treat his servants as they did in America. They also had the possibility of freedom.

that is precisely why MOST American Indians prefer the term "American Indian".

a "native American" is ANYBODY born in the Americas.

As a muslim, I have some of the same questions about the muslim prison population. My feeling is that they same way that Homosexuals can consider themselves as Gay American and Jews note their difference as a proud group I should be able to say Muslim American. But it would be nice if we could ALL just be American.

Maybe blacks tend to have more left-wing views on economics, that doesn't make them...[evil]

Other than EVIL, what would you call it, when one KNOWINGLY votes to ENSLAVE his fellow man and the children of his fellow man ? A vote cast FOR the LEFT is a vote TO enslave.

but I recognize "Negro" was condescending, coming from those long-ago adults, and the word has disappeared from my life through disuse

Unless the libs use it, as in United Negro College Fund.

"Colored" is racist, unless used by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"Black" is bad too, unless used by the Congressional Black Caucus.

I predict one day they will decide that AFrican-American is racist too, because to link American blacks with the hellhole that is AFrica is to say that blacks come from a loser continent....which is racist.

the reason that NOBODY really CARES about what the SHYSTERS over at the SPLC think, or (more frequently) do NOT think, is that the SPLC is mostly about making $$$$$$$$$$$.

the rest of their time is spent trying to get ANYBODY to CARE what that bunch of IDIOTS, REVISIONISTS & LEFTISTS think.

Morris Dees has been known to say that the Sons of Confederate Veterans & the National Rifle Assn are MORE DANGEROUS than Al Qaida. (he's a nothing more than a (leftist) NUT imVho. Dees was quoted, on CNN several years ago, as saying that BILL CLINTON was the GREATEST American who ever lived!)

You can say pretty much anything you want. The problems start when LEFTISTS such as yourself insist that the rest of us normal folks accept what you say without disagreement. Afterall as a LEFTIST, you openly advocate the enslavement of your fellow man. Most normal folks get a tad uppity at you insisting on having your jackboot on the back of their necks.
