When color trumps Christianity
President Obama hosted a reception at the White House
celebrating LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride Month.
Black Christians should take note and learn a few things about our
black president.
As they say, we are what we do.
It tells us something that Mr. Obama had no time to host an event for
the National Day of Prayer.
Nor did he have time to accept the invitation to convey greetings and a
few remarks to the couple hundred thousand who came to Washington, as
they do every January, for the March for Life.
However, the LGBT Pride event did make it onto the president's busy
schedule.
Here are parts of his remarks I think noteworthy for black Christians:
First, we now know that Mr. Obama buys into reasoning equating the
homosexual political movement to the black civil rights movement: “…
it's not for me to tell you to be patient any more than it was for
others to counsel patience to African-Americans who were petitioning
for equal rights a half century ago.”
Don't miss David Kupelian's culture-war classic, “The Marketing of
Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption
Disguised as Freedom”
Perhaps Mr. Obama can extend some of his famous empathy to a black
Christian woman, Crystal Dixon, who lost her University of Toledo job
for writing a column in her local paper challenging this premise. Ms
Dixon was fired for being uppity enough to write: “I take great umbrage
at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle are 'civil
rights victims.' … I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman.”
Considering our president's priorities, I recall a song popular during
the civil rights movement: “Which Side Are You On?”
Second, Mr. Obama sees the black community as being a little slow on
the uptake to grasp that homosexuality and same-sex marriage are OK.
There still are those, according to him, “who don't yet fully embrace
their gay brothers and sisters. …” He deals with this, he said, by
talking about it in front of “unlikely audiences,” such as, “in front
of African-American church members.”
Maybe a lot of us black folks, still readin' our Bibles, just haven't
had enough of that Harvard learnin'.
And, third, Mr. Obama talked about HIV/AIDS but didn't bother to
mention that it's overwhelmingly blacks that this scourge is killing.
Why would our black president discuss HIV/AIDS and not mention that
although blacks represent 12 percent of our population, they account
for 50 percent of HIV/AIDS cases and half of HIV-related deaths? Or
that the incidence of HIV/AIDS infection per every 100,000 people is
nine times higher among blacks than whites?
