I wouldn't be surprised to see major changes on their website soon. I expect they will make it look more neutral.

People bitch about the EOE, quotas etc etc and here it is this church is esposuing ethics that call for the independence and self-reliance to better themselves and their community and people are looking at it as though its a bad thing. Guess since they couldn't associate him with Islam they are looking for a different angle to smear him with.
When people can say that the majority of the population in prisons are black people, these ethics seem to me, to be better then what anyone else can offer. Its not like they are calling for supporting a foreign nation, they are looking to support our fellow Americans. It can only lead to the betterment of our own society as well as their communities.

These right wing attacks are just plain bigoted and would not be happening if Mr. Obama were not black... case in point I have yet to see any such attacks against any of the other white candidates for president, male or female.
First there was the assertion that somehow Mr. Obama would be a manchurian candidate based on the slur that because of his name he is a closet Muslim and would betray his country. Then there was the whole madrassa blowup the only source of which was the right wing ragzine Insight and then parroted by faux news. Now this attack on him because of the church he attends.
Looks more and more like a 21st century version of a lynching to me.

Do you have any idea how bigoted the right wing assault on Obama is? First there was the post on here railing about the supposed madrassa that he attended as a child, and BTW they claimed that it came from the Clinton camp when the only source for it was the right wing ragazine Insight and then parroted by faux news. There have been accusations that he would be a tratior because he is supposedly a closet Muslim based on his name, and now this attack via the church he attends.
Is all this because he is black or if it is because he is black and running for president... either way it is unseemly. The man deserves to be judged by his ideas and his qualifications and his character... it seems to me that this in just a 21st century version of the stringing up of an uppity ______!!!
AND it is wrong.
