    Since some members on this forum love to sink their fangs in to the fact that white nationalists are sucking Ron Paul's wang . They assume that this is indicative of Ron Paul giving implicit support to white supremacist ideology.

    So I'm just wondering what these posters conclude from the following?

    http://mu-warrior.blogspot.com/2007/03/barak-obamas-leftist-afrocentric-church.html

    The above describes how Obama has admitted to being affiliated with the Trinity of the United Church of Christ. This religious organisation pledges allegiance to Africa, and believes in the following:

    Such a religious organisation appears to promote 'black power' and the 'black way of life'. Racist sumsuch?

    It's not about Black Power, it's about self reliance. Your party has been preaching to the Black Community for decades to stop asking whitey for a handout and to help themselves. The very minute they do that, you cry foul. Would your rather have them uplift themselves, or have them living off of your Tax dollars? I thought so.

    Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”

    ? I don't get this one. What's wrong with being middle class?

    It's true. I provided proof and links. Some people just don't want to hear the truth.

    Because it's a lie. Wanting to create an institution to help the disadvantaged Africa-American community is NOT the same thing as saying blacks are superior.

    We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

    The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

    A congregation committed to ADORATION.
    A congregation preaching SALVATION.
    A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
    A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
    A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
    A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
    A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
    A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
    A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
    A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
    Click here to read about Dr. Wright’s talking points for Trinity United Church of Christ its Web site and the Black Value System.

    from the about us of their website. I fail to see how educating about black history and haveing a commitment to those in africa makes you a black supremecy orginization.

    What's a "black way of life"? And how do you think it is being promoted?

    Also, racism involves negative discrimination against other races, does it not?

    I call bs. Substitute the word "white" for black and people would be SCREAMING "racism" until they were hoarse.

    Sandy, they are as Christian as you.

    They most probably love God and Jesus as much as you.

    They are your brothers and sisters!

    They most certainly are NOT! They don't go around all day getting people saved/churched. The only one who talks about Jesus Christ is Huckabee. The democrats don't even seem to know who Jesus is.

    Sandy, your Christian crew does not have a monopoly over God, Jesus or Christianity. Black Christians are as Christian as Whites. Practising, non-practising, it doesn't matter. A Christian is a Christian.

    Yep. Plenty. What do you want to know?

    You don't get it, do you? A lukewarm Christian is useless to God. He "spits them out." On-fire is best. I never said anything about black Christians. Of course they're as Christian as whites. Christianity is color blind.

    I don't know enough about the degree of his involvement in the Mormon church/the extent of his Mormonism. I do have a problem with Joseph Smith and them having their own Bible (the Book of Mormon). If he was a Christian, he would be a shoe-in for the next POTUS.

    Isn't The Book of Mormon just like the New Testament? An addition to the original Bible recognized only by its followers?
