whose son committed absolutely no crime at all,

I respect Rev Jakes but here is where he goes wrong. TM was in the process of committing FELONY ASSAULT and possibly ATTEMPTED MURDER.

Once more: where was the “shock” when the OJ verdict was read? BTW, when will TD’s church canonize St. Tray? Will he call for “Hoodie Sunday”?

“Zimmerman, who is half Hispanic and half Caucasian.”

The people who are “against profiling” want you to be sure that Zimmerman “fits the profile.”

“All people of all colors should be concerned.”

What color? People have colors? I want to be green.

This guy is just another race hustling pimp. FUTDJ

The “FACTS” and the “EVIDENCE” (or lack thereof), just don’t matter to these RACISTS. A “supposed” man of God, should promote healing not race baiting.

Dear Bishop:

Read this and buy a clue

When you embrace a certain lifestyle, you become a 2-bit punk in school.
When you become a 2-bit punk in school, you think it's funny to write "WTF" on someone's locker.
When you write "WTF" on someone's locker, you get reported.
When you get reported, you get YOUR locker searched.
When you get YOUR locker searched, they find stolen items and burglary tools.
When they find stolen items and burglary tools, you get a long suspension.
When you get a long suspension, your Mother sends you away for awhile to your father's little town.
When you are away in your father's little town, you get bored.
When you get bored, you take long walks through unfamiliar places.
When you take long walks through unfamiliar places, you get spotted and followed by Neighborhood watches.
When you get spotted and followed by Neighborhood watches, you get pissed.
When you get pissed, you start fighting.
When you start fighting, you start winning and feeling good. When you start winning and feeling good, you keep pounding.
When you keep pounding, you get shot through the heart by a concealed carry.

Don't get shot through the heart by a concealed carry.
Don't be a 2-bit punk in school

‘Jakes said that since the verdict he received more than 100 calls from all over the country from pastors and friends who are in tears as a result of the decision.’

HEY JAKEY GET ANY TEARFUL CALLS FROM THE FRIENDS OF MR ZIMMERMAN LAMENTING HIS SOLITARY CONFINEMENT INCARCERTION AND THE SUFFERING SUSTAINED BY AN INNOCENT MAN BEARING A YEAR OF ANXIETY OVER BEING FALSELY CHARGED WITH MURDER. YOU KNOW SONNY IT IS SAID THAT....SYMPATHY FOR THE GUILTY IS A BETRAYAL OF THE INNOCENT...

Jakes has been a Hillary supporter for years.

His take on abortion:

“Go ahead and preach against abortion,” he told his mostly black audience of ministers and lay people.
“But when you get through preaching against abortion, give us some milk up in here, so that we can feed the babies you told us we ought to have.”

“T. D. Jakes is the American pastor with a net worth of $18 million.”

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/models/bibi-jones-net-worth/

All the comments by Blacks support him being rich. What can you say to these people? How can they be so BLIND? Race blinds them from all reason.

I would say he went off the rails with the announed candidacy of Obama....but I get your point....I agree. Used to be well respected....right up there with Tony Evans and some other black Pastors with huge followings of all races.

"I cannot imagine the devastation of this man and woman (Martin's parents), whose son committed absolutely no crime at all..."

So then assaulting someone and beating his head on the concrete is absolutely no crime at all???

Listening to your racist theology should be a crime.

Is it a church or a political organization?

Isn’t about time we asserted our First Amendment Rights and ended NFP oversight by the IRS?

A simple end to the corporate tax creates a whole lot of liberty.

I have to wonder if Zimmerman was actually following Martin or not as i have not kept up with it all, who was the aggressor?

As far as i am concerned even if Zimmerman was a cop, which he is not as far as i know he would still have no business in hassling some one for just walking down the street, so who made the first move to start trouble?

As far as the verdict is concerned, i accepted the O.J Simpson verdict of not guilty even though it was plain out and out murder.

The only doubt was if Simpson did it or not.

But if the jury has any reasonable doubt of a persons guilt they have the right to base their decision on that doubt, and it is not up to some one else to tell them what is reasonable.

Sometime we do not like the verdict, but is using racism as an excuse for every thing that happens ( even if there may be some truth to it ) going to stop racism?

No way, that is the very thing that will keep it going.

Or he’s being diplomatic and turning this thing from an Obama manipulation, but I repeat myself, into a ‘let’s care about our kids lives’ issue.

I am willing to see how this plays out, but he’s not talking to whites, but blacks on this one.

Wonder if he preaches St Paul’s admonition that if a man will not work, neither should he eat. And also that thing about fleeing fornication?

“Every teenager...who is followed and ends up in a fight.”

Oh yeah, another fight just happened, like spontaneous combustion; TM had nothing to do with it. Don’t dare teach about making good choices. It might cost you your job as a race pimp.

Pastor Jakes speaks a good word for Jesus, have bought a couple of his videos. But now with this crap I unsubscribed from his email list and will never again go to his site.

Yes we are not to judge, for he may just be another misinformed idiot. But considering his power in the church he shouldn’t make reply without all the facts.

I think that happens a lot in the church. I think the whole Christian culture and mindest gives enough freedom for all sorts of charlatans to enter and fleece the fold. With freedom comes responsibility.
