Dude, the man is black. Where do you think it came from. It's interesting that last night I heard some clips from Ron Parsley on a talk show. They were trying to demonize him as was done with Rev. Wright. But for the life of me I couldn't hear it. The things he said were not untrue, hard for Americans to accept, but none-the-less true. Such as, concerning Right to Life, he said it was an attempt by white supremists to reduce the black population.....well it was, the movement was founded by such a person. Maybe things like this had an adverse effect on Rev. Wright, ya think?

Look at the inner cities, they are doing enough to themselves to reduce the black population.
Have there been injustices towards blacks? yes.
Do they bring a lot of this on themselves?
Yes again
70% of the childern born to single parents, low highschool graduation rates, even lower college graduation rates.
Want to blame someone, they should look in the mirror first.

Whenever a people are oppressed, they look for a Saviour. Listen to the old southern Negro spirituals. They looked to Jesus to return and deliver them from this life of hardship. Not unlike the rapture doctrine taught in many Churches today. That escapist mentality can place people in a state where they believe they are only to trust God for deliverance and not help themselves. It's the extreme of what Jimmy G's quoted. But they still gots ta eat...thus food stamps.

wasn't affirmative action supposed to put every one on the same level , how can you continually say that they are being suppressed , maybe the first 50- 70 years after emancipation but not any more every one has the opportunity to succeed or not to it is up to the individual to apply them selfs or not , you need to start with education and go from there if they choose to drop out and be gang bangers or they dint practice safe sex and get pregnant while they are young that is there choice. that is no fault of any other part of society but there own , the majority should not have to pay or suffer because of choices by the minority of society.
Tax payers should not be responsible for bad decisions of people that had every opportunity to empower them selfs no matter what situation they started out from.

None of themin the preachin biz goes into retirment like a lot their parishoners will..... Pastor Dollar, of course, has to try to keep up with “Brother Benny”, Hinn that is, which requires him to have the same kinds of gospel essentials. You know, the basics, like a $5 million private jet and a Rolls Royce. And, every respectable preacher needs at least two homes. So, Creflo purchased himself a couple of million-dollar homes.
