Let's think about context here...<BR/><BR/>Further, I don't agree with separationist rhetoric, as I believe in coalitional work - bridging the issues of sex, gender, race, class, sexuality, etc.<BR/><BR/>And as for Obama and his church; I'm sure there are many people out there who would not like me simply because I'm affiliated with a grassroots organization that promotes pro-LGBT legislation, all while connecting the issues of the identity comma set. (intersectionality?! GASP!) No group is perfect, and definitely no church is perfect. And while the political climate of these groups may give us some sort of indication as to what values so-and-so holds, we can't judge a person's character and values solely on their affiliations.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571145487410257311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176968310364475352.post-59022713838065899752008-06-24T21:18:00.000-04:002008-06-24T21:18:00.000-04:00If Obama get elected, I hope he will become our fi...If Obama get elected, I hope he will become our first female president, since Bill Clinton was our first BLACK president. :)<BR/><BR/>THIS presidential race is about race and BLACK racism. Let the race begin!<BR/><BR/>Barrack HUSSEIN Obama's church for over 20 years, the BLACK Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the BLACK Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. They believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These BLACK Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever BLACKS are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:<BR/><BR/>1. Commitment to God <BR/>2. Commitment to the BLACK Community <BR/>3. Commitment to the BLACK Family <BR/>4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education <BR/>5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence <BR/>6. Adherence to the BLACK Work Ethic <BR/>7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect <BR/>8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness" <BR/>9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the BLACK Community <BR/>10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting BLACK Institutions <BR/>11. Pledge allegiance to all BLACK leadership who espouse and embrace the BLACK Value System <BR/>12. Personal commitment to embracement of the BLACK Value System.<BR/><BR/>Please read the "BLACK Value System" again -- only this time, substitute the word "White" for "BLACK."<BR/><BR/>If your church had such a "White Value System" Jesse and Al and the NAACP would have 10,000 demonstrators out front in a heartbeat."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
