Black conservative pingIf you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

God works in mysterious ways. When our very core Christian rights are at risk, southerners will ban together. This is so nice to see unity. I love the south.
It is time for we Christians to stop bickering amongst ourselves. While we are at each other's throat, satan is busy busy busy right under our noses. It's nice to see some have stopped and looked around to see that the BIG WAR in America is at our doorstep. United we stand, divided we fall. ACLU is THE ENEMY right now.

I don't have anything to say, so I will wait on the thoughts of wiser folks than me.
Does the klan have any clout at all these days? If they do I don't see any evidence of it.

I don't know what the House of Prayer is (someone enlighten me please), but if they are anything like the KKK, I see this as suckie groups trying to look good while they have evil intentions.
They know many good people are not pleased with thee events, and they are looking to draw those fringe elements not yet associated with them in.
The KKK does not have Christian values at their core, regardless of what they pretend. They should stay home.
The best thing groups like the KKK could do is disband. Short of that, they still have evil intentions.

My original premise was that I was not enlightened enough to have an opinion.
Then I asked a question.
That is all.

"but I'd say the Klan of today is a kinder, gentler one"
Hmmm - the kinder, gentler Klan needs a motto.
"The Klan - we don't lynch, anymore."
"It ain't your Granddad's burning cross."
I'm sure somebody wittier than me can do better :)

They have been the liberal boogey man since their last hurrah somewhere in Indiana, sometime in the 20's.
To: eddie willers; Eaker
That is more or less correct. The Grand Wizard or Head Poobah or whoever in Indiana got busted and sent to the penitentiary around 1924 or so for kidnapping and raping a young girl.
That was about it for any real power the Klan held (and in the 20s in the midwest they DID have real power). It hung on in some areas for a few years, had a small resurgence during the civil rights era, but now it's just a very small group of very uneducated and very angry and very trashy old men. I guess an individual here and there might still be capable of violence, but as far as any sustained threat to anybody, nah.

"Does the klan have any clout at all these days? If they do I don't see any evidence of it." I'm a 36 year old Georgia native, and except for the occasional rally, which has become fairly rare in the last 10 years, the KKK is virtually non-existant here.
Matter of fact, IIRC the last time I've even heard about the klan was 10 years ago when Hosea Williams did his"Freedom March" thing in what was then very majority white Forsyth county.
On the other hand, "The House of Prayer" was recently involved in a child abuse case brought by the state because the Pastor would spank children during sermons, in front of the congregation.
Michael, didn't you say your wife worked on the house of prayer case?

Im skepticle to say the least i think the K.K.K. is using the lords name and the churchs works to get back at the A.C.L.U. for the past times they have benn thwarted by the A.C.L.U. not that they are any less guilty of racist crimes under wrong laws!

Michael, didn't you say your wife worked on the house of prayer case?Yep. I can't say a lot about it for obvious reasons, but suffice it to say that the preacher (Rev. Arthur Allen) was in the wrong.
The spankings of the children were more akin to beatings. A parishoner would hold each of the child's four limbs, suspending them in air as a fifth person, usually someone else chosen by Allen, commenced to beating the child.
Allen and two of the parents were convicted on child cruelty charges and sentenced to probation. Among the terms were community service (which Allen decided not to go to) and the promise not to administer any more spankings in church (which Allen flat-foot refused to agree to, and continued to do in church).
Allen is presently serving his sentence (I think it's 2 years) in the Fulton County Jail. He was caught about a month ago after fleeing from the cops for a number of months.
The church obviously goes on, but without the good reverend.

HOuse of Prayer is a church (african America) here in Atlanta. Rev. Allen is a dedicated man of God.
