Charismatic Pastor 'Would be a Clarion Voice' in U.S. Senate

She probably had it pretty rough since Blacks were not particularly welcome in any state during the 1800s for the reasons I referenced earlier. They were not treated well in the North or the South.
Yes, Dems are known to be very stupid about such things, or about EVERYthing! They never learn.
It amazes me that the dems can go into the pulpit at black churches and nobody says anything. If a pubbie did the same thing, the IRS would go after the church! Amazing.
Colin Powell is Afro-Caribbean. You only need a drop of black blood to be considered black in the eyes of the government.

Then go all the way and take the hyphen out of your screen name. Around here, we are all simply 1701s! :-)
Of course, some of my posts have been rated NC-17....
You should be. We want to know what they are thinking so we can be better at stopping them.

I got a chuckle at that, remembering the first time I slept with my VERY dark American Indian ex, she said "my God you are so pale You glow in the dark!"
This guy sounds interesting actually. His lack of much electoral experience concerns me a little, I'd rather have Candice Miller or John Engler, but this guy actually seems like he'd be better then a random county chairman or congressman. If he can do well in Detroit, the sky's the limit.
"The only thing missing from this is a warning from her that the Dems need to pay here more to prevent the loss. LOL"
I think you hit the real reason she's issuing this "warning". This has nothing to do with whether the Republicans are making in roads in the black community, this is all about her getting paid.
Jesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law'
Tuesday November 7, 2000; 9:37 AM ETJesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law'
It may be against federal election law to campaign in church. But for Democrats seeking to get out the vote in minority districts, politicking from the pulpit has become indispensable.
In the last days of this year's campaign, Vice President Al Gore, Senate candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband have all made regular appearances at African-American and Hispanic churches.
Even when parishioners objected to Mrs. Clinton campaigning from the altar at a Rochester, N.Y., Catholic church last week, the rules were not enforced. Those who didn't like it were simply ejected by police while the first lady continued her campaign speech.
Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., whose namesake is both a reverend and one of the Democratic Party's most vocal boosters, was challenged on the issue Monday during a Tennessee radio interview on WLAC-AM by "Nashville This Morning" hosts Steve Gill and Terry Hopkins.
GILL: Let me ask you about this. It's against IRS regulations for politicians to campaign from the pulpit. Why are these politicians campaigning in black churches?
JACKSON: I'm not totally convinced that's true in the African-American community. Certainly there's a separation of church and state. But in our community there's little distinction between our religion and our politics. ... And so in many African-American churches born out of experience in this country, the role of the churches has evolved into a very, very active political institution which has been very effective for a number of causes in the black community.
HOPKINS: And that supersedes the law?
JACKSON: Absolutely. Oh, absolutely.

She was furious Kerry and the DNC didn't give her a major position or a lot of business to her consulting firm.
That's why I don't check anything. None of the government's business.
LOL
Interesting, isn't it?
Not many people remember, but the KKK originally was against Blacks, Catholics and Jews. I remember sometime back (maybe in the 70s) when the NJ chapter was running low on members. They decided to admit Jews as a way to bolster membership.
As a Catholic, I was quite pleased with their choice. :-)
