Black pastors wary of Obama

All pastors, priests, and rabbis should be wary of Obama.

Very few black pastors have problems supporting Obama because they are fixated on this race thing."

Again, proving that the only real racists in America are the blacks!

Hearing black self-described “conservatives” say that they disagree with almost all of Obama’s positions, but will still vote for him anyway has been one of the most disappointing things about this political year. Race uber alles. If they won’t walk the walk when faced with a choice between values and race, how can whites conservatives be expected to vote for black candidates?

I predict race releations will be much worse after this election no matter what happens, though perhaps more clarified.

He does not take a true position as it relates to his own Christianity.

Yes, he certainly does. He votes exactly as he believes.

I know plenty of "Christian Democrats." It's quite entertaining to watch them struggle with trying to serve two masters.

"McCain's stance on stem cell research and his lack of spiritual input makes it a lot tougher saying he is the right guy,"

See, when you do not have a candidate who is CLEARLY different from the other guy across the board, it blurs the lines and allows people to vote on inconsequential stuff, like race, sex, last name, whatever.

Actually they saved the best points of the article for last:

"McCain's stance on stem cell research and his lack of spiritual input makes it a lot tougher saying he is the right guy," he said. "We can't say, 'Don't vote for Obama' when McCain is this weak."

I couldn't agree more. This year I'm voting "against" rather than "for."

"I will find it difficult to vote for either of the candidates," Mr. Yuille said. "It is very distressing to me the black pulpit is so compromised on politics...

You and me both, pal.

This is going to be a tricky problem for a lot of people, but especially so for blacks. Looking back through our history on our country's birthday, it is obvious that few have gone through more changes than black Americans.

From first being considered property to not being a whole person in the voting booth to not being allowed full access to public restrooms or public transportation or even military service, the Black American experience is not like any other American's. It's not been a matter of a glass ceiling, but rather the open, blatant, officially sanctioned "Whites only" "No Negroes Allowed" discrimination that the 1960s finally ended.

So, while no black man or woman living today was a slave, almost all have known an America, either personally or through their parents, that did not consider them as being created equal. And, for many, no number of Oprahs or Robert Johnsons or any other successful black Americans are going to remove those experiences from memory.

Nor will a President Obama, but voting for him will be a step forward that few blacks thought they would ever take. It's just too bad that it is Obama instead of someone whose principles, values, beliefs and character would move us all forward, regardless of skin color.

President Obama will worsen the racial divide. He just may have what it takes to become president, but not what it takes to lead the country.

One of the most damaging effects Hussein Obama and his colleagues have had is to bring hardcore racism out of the closet.

While I truly don't look at people in terms of race or ethnicity but solely in terms of character, after I heard the Rev. Wright clips and that Hussein Obama stayed in those pews for 20 years and had that demented racist ‘baptize’ his children, it made me start wondering if every black I passed was ‘one of them,’ meaning a race-centric Marxist who would do anything to take control of the country and turn whites into subjects.

Blacks who disagree with this black liberation theology need to speak out loud and clear so that we know we can all work together to strengthen this county and truly heal the wounds of racism.

....here in North Carolina I expect the black vote will be 99% Obama....blacks understand racial loyalty....if whites ever stressed their whiteness in any way they would be labeled racist....in other words you can have a Black Entertainment Network but never a White one.

As has been pointed out before, these same black pastors are not fixated on "this race thing" when the Black candidate is a Republican.

Hypocrites.
