Black Pastors Bash NAACP For Endorsing Gay Marriage By Meagan Clark - The Daily Caller
The Coalition of African American Pastors announced Tuesday that it does not agree with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s decision to endorse the legalization of same-sex marriage.
CAAP launched a petition last week to oppose broadening the legal definition of marriage.
The coalition includes leaders of black churches and veteran civil rights leaders who marched with Martin Luther King Jr.
The NAACP voted to endorse same-sex marriage Saturday, and NAACP President Benjamin Jealous publicly endorsed gay marriage Monday.
“The NAACP has abandoned its historic responsibility to speak for and safeguard the civil rights movement,” CAAP founder and President William Owens said Tuesday. “We who marched with Rev. King did not march one inch or one mile to promote same-sex marriage.”
Jealous called gay marriage a civil right, and said he believes “it is the responsibility, the history of the NAACP to speak up on the civil rights issues of our times.” CAAP says it believes gay Americans should have equal civil rights, but that it does not believe there should be a right to legally marry someone of the same sex.
On behalf of the coalition, Owens said, “We call on all Americans to respect the legitimate civil rights of gay people to be free from violence, harassment, to vote, to hold jobs.”
Owens drew from King’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail” to explain what he believes is the difference between a just and unjust law.
According to Owens, a just law is a man-made code that squares with the law of God, and an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with moral law.

Those Black Panther guys look pretty gay. The black pastures might not want to make them mad.
We need to reach out to the CAAP. No, they’re probably not going to vote against Obama, but in the future the Democrat party will only be getting further from Christianity, and conservatives can welcome them into the tent.
Excuse me, I meant black pastors.

Wow, obama has managed to split his own base. Didn’t someone tell him he is supposed to try to split his opponent’s base?
You either pick Homogenized or Pastorized- your choice.

Disagree completely. Obama has picked the wrong fight here and he is not going to win. He may still get 90% of the black vote, but the total vote will be down at least 10% points. It will cost him NC for certain, and possibly Ohio and PA. Maybe even Michigan.
Scott Anderson, Madison, Wisconsin. Can’t you Google?
——Blacks will vote for Obamination because it’s all about race to them——
If Romney picks a conalezza Rice or Allen West as a VP.....that will be a game changer
If he doesn’t they are many blacks who are sorely disappointed in Zero and just might stay home as a protest vote....
These fools can Yap all they care to. Come election day 90+ percent of blacks will still go like lemming and pull the lever for the marxist punk.
Abortion, homosexuals agenda, black unemployment, all be damned. Obammy is one of them.

Vicke Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire
Mary Glasspool, Episcopal Suffragan Bishop of San Francisco.
Both "partnered" and thus assumed to be practicing, unless the partnering be platonic.
It wouldn’t matter if Obama got up in full drag, came out of the closet, and endorsed pedophilia and bestiality. He would still get at least 90% of the black vote. Believe me, it’s all about race.
Those silly African American pastors - thinking that the NAACP is supposed to represent them.
Good for those black pastors. Hopefully they’ll help influence their congregations and convince them to stop slavisly (yes, SLAVISHLY) voting for the Democrat (pro-slavery, pro-segregation, pro-welfare, pro-servitude to government) party...and that includes Obumbles.
