We all have the choice to walk away from evil. Senator Obama has chosen not.
In 2006 Barack Hussein Obama gave $22,500 to Trinity United Church of Christ, the largest single donation they made (about 1/3).
These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered.
They consist of the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God. The God of our weary years will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become Black Christian Activists, soldiers for Black freedom and the dignity of all humankind.
2. Commitment to the Black Community. The highest level of achievement for any Black person must be a contribution of strength and continuity of the Black Community.
3. Commitment to the Black Family. The Black family circle must generate strength, stability and love, despite the uncertainty of externals, because these characteristics are required if the developing person is to withstand warping by our racist competitive society.
Those Blacks who are blessed with membership in a strong family unit must reach out and expand that blessing to the less fortunate.
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education. We must forswear anti-intellectualism. Continued survival demands that each Black person be developed to the utmost of his/her mental potential despite the inadequacies of the formal education process. Real education fosters understanding of ourselves as well as every aspect of our environment. Also, it develops within us the ability to fashion concepts and tools for better utilization of our resources, and more effective solutions to our problems. Since the majority of Blacks have been denied such learning, Black Education must include elements that produce high school graduates with marketable skills, a trade or qualifications for apprenticeships, or proper preparation for college.
Basic education for all Blacks should include Mathematics, Science, Logic, General Semantics, Participative Politics, Economics and Finance, and the Care and Nurture of Black minds.
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence. To the extent that we individually reach for, even strain for excellence, we increase, geometrically, the value and resourcefulness of the Black Community. We must recognize the relativity of ones best; this years best can be bettered next year. Such is the language of growth and development. We must seek to excel in every endeavor.
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic. It is becoming harder to find qualified people to work in Chicago. Whether this is true or not, it represents one of the many reasons given by businesses and industries for deserting the Chicago area. We must realize that a location with good facilities, adequate transportation and a reputation for producing skilled workers will attract industry. We are in competition with other cities, states and nations for jobs. High productivity must be a goal of the Black workforce.
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect. To accomplish anything worthwhile requires self-discipline. We must be a community of self-disciplined persons if we are to actualize and utilize our own human resources, instead of perpetually submitting to exploitation by others. Self-discipline, coupled with a respect for self, will enable each of us to be an instrument of Black Progress and a model for Black Youth.
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness. Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the talented tenth of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captors control.
Those so identified are separated from the rest of the people by:
1. Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
2. Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
3. Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of we and they instead of us.
4. So, while it is permissible to chase middleclassness with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method the psychological entrapment of Black middleclassness. If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our voluntary contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright: the leadership, resourcefulness and example of their own talented persons.
9. Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to the Black Community.
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions.
11. Pledge Allegiance to All Black Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Black Value System.
12. Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Black Value System. To measure the worth and validity of all activity in terms of positive contributions to the general welfare of the Black Community and the Advancement of Black People towards freedom.
The last two really piss me off. Pledge "allegiance" to all black leadership that embrace the black value system? Obama must be asked if he is one of those leaders who embraces the "black" value system. The measure of worth is what you do for blacks? This is EXTREMELY DISTURBING. I can't believe the Clinton campaign is ignoring this.

Christ teaches about love.
The church is the bride of Christ.
Therefore....this man of hate is not a Christian nor is his place
of “business” a church.
McInsane’s silence on this front is deafening!
So why is he still here?
There’s plenty of other countries he can choose to go to.
Say, rev, don’t let the door hit you on the way out....
And the good rev doesn't have the same ego problem?
Exactly!
Those of the "other side" are doing it in a big way this go-round!
....and our side?...is silent. Silent! What is wrong with this picture!
There’s already more tension than is needed between the blacks and latinos. The cities are just a powder keg waiting to go up, IMO. If the race war you foresee does happen, it will be pretty nasty in the cities.
He is a racist fool and needs to take his red-boned ass to Africa, where a hungry Lion will purchase him with some (jungle) foodstamps.
Obama believes his teachings, otherwise he would have joined another church.
Obama is nothing more than a one-eyed jack, who hopes his racist tendencies will remain hidden from public view.
Good Americans like you are what makes this country great. (WHyisaTexasgirlinPA)

Heaven knows the DIMS are doing their best to light that tinderbox of hatred and tension!
You opened a new account today to tell us you think Obama is the best choice for President. Why post here?
If freedom and opportunity are not what you are looking for, than Michele Obama and this pastor are in the wrong country. They think America stinks. OK, go to Cuba, it's only 90 miles off the FL keys. Of course, if America is so bad, why are people risking their lives to come here and nobody wants to leave?
"By definition, Progressives hate America. Why would any clear thinking, sane person want to change the greatest country that ever existed on the face of the Planet Earth?"
