CALLING BLACKS, BLACK PREACHERS AND BLACK AND WHITE CHRISTIANS -- IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE! – PLEASE STOP THE HATE!

Calling all Christians, Black or White to exercise love and forgiveness. You cannot be forgiven by God if you refuse to forgive others. By this shall all men know that you are His disciples, by your love. This love should be contagious enough to touch the hearts of those who are not Christians.

What would it say about Barack Obama if he did not forgive his pastor? What kind of Christian would he be?

The same love that it takes to forgive his pastor is the same love with which he can forgive America for the injustices to Black people, and not hold resentment or animosity towards them and yet not be unpatriotic. He loves his country.

Those who want him to leave the church completely to prove his patriotism are focusing on the fact that Barack Obama has had a twenty-year relationship with a man who they say hates America. Their “fear” which they know is unfounded, is that these same ideologies are being masked in Mr. Obama and will show up when he becomes Commander and Chief.

This, in spite of his continued denouncement of these beliefs.

Black pastors who use their pulpits to spew out hate and unpatriotic statements are accountable to God and God alone. However, Christians can challenge their leaders and other Christians to hold to the standard of the Word of God.

Black pastors who use their pulpits to pit one democratic candidate against the other with very disturbing and derogatory statements are also accountable to God. They are accountable because they are not preaching the Gospel of peace and love; and, they are misrepresenting God in their behavior and actions.

Black people -- Why are we tearing each other down? If you want to vote for a particular candidate, so be it. But, why do it at the destruction of the other?

Blacks are being pitted against each other. The old philosophy of divide and conquer has been used since slavery to keep us from uniting as a people. Don't let them do it!

In the past, White pastors, presidents and elected officials have never had to give an account for the fact that they condoned the travesties of slavery and indeed had slaves themselves all in the name of Christianity.

Multitudes of Whites hid behind the sheets and masks of the KKK, who were elected officials, law enforcement officers, preachers and ordinary citizens. They preached hatred and committed unspeakable crimes against Blacks in the name of Christianity.

The nation of Islam is very leary of Christianity (which they call the white man’s religion) because of the crimes and atrocities of slavery done in the name of Christianity.

We are the only race of people in America who have a hyphenated name as a race, African-American. Why, because we were not immigrants. We did not come to America of our own free will. We were sold by our own people, and then captured by slave traders to come here to “serve” Americans in the building of this country.

Society treated Black people as property and did not consider them to be a part of the constitution’s claim that “all men are created equal”. They did not consider us as men.

TODAY!

The Conservative Talk Show hosts have admitted today (March 19 or 20, 2008) that they are launching “Operation Chaos”. That they are going to look for anything they can to cause CHAOS among the democratic candidates. This includes telling republicans to vote for Hillary to give her a false sense of belief that the people are for her, only to defeat her in the general election because they really hate her.

Prejudiced individuals in our society are on a witch hunt and are looking for anything to discredit Black preachers. They are not at all looking at any of the white preachers who say inflammatory things against the country in the name of Christianity.

I heard Rush Limbaugh play a very disturbing tape from the sermons of Rev. James David Manning of Harlem (Black), who made some very disturbing and derogatory statements against Barack Obama, even going so far as to call him a "freak" because of his biracial DNA. He also called him a "long-legged pimp" among other things.

It was so horrible that I literally got sick. The pastor had the audacity to say that it was the Word of God that was in his mouth. He spoke some other very bad things that seemed to portray himself as God to his congregation. He seemed to have great control over the minds of the members of his congregation demanding that they accept his statements as gospel while at the same time degrading them.

If you serve the one and only true God like I do, please stop the hatred in the name of Christianity.

America needs to be healed! We need to truly love and forgive. It needs to begin with Christians Black and White – This is where it started.

I feel a responsibility, and I don’t know how, to go out and talk to Black pastors and Christians (Black and White) about this matter of love and forgiveness, and representing the true character of God and not our flesh or lower natures.
