I think it was a bias request because it says gays want to be accepted for their belief (OK to be gay), but don’t want others to be accepted despite their beliefs (Not OK to be gay). &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I also think challenging African-American religious leaders is misleading. Gays ONLY challenge the Christian religion, because Muslims and Jews don’t accept them PERIOD.  You would think that gays would appreciate Christianity for embracing them when the others don’t.  Not going to happen though.  You give a person an inch, you know the rest.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;People will have to be legally blind to believe that a person’s skin color can be compared to two people of the same gender having sex.  Do you see how stupid that sounds?  Oh, and FYI, what is even more stupid, it’s always compared to black skin, no other color.  The trick is this—It’s like being black, why we would want the controversy?  Good question.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When it comes to God, he doesn’t approve of sex out of wedlock.  Is there a such thing as a gay virgin?  I’ll wait for the answer.  Time’s up.  I didn’t think so either. Homosexuality is about sex and that’s it.  You can love people of the same gender, but CAN’T YOU KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOTHES?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is my conclusion, if all people want to bring their sexual issues to church, you have to accept the following 3 rules and warning.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1.  All adulterers, fornicators, masturbators, child molesters and homosexuals will have equal say, without being shut out.&lt;br/&gt;2.  All of the issues must be brought up in the Mosques, Temples and Churches everywhere.&lt;br/&gt;3.  You must also accept bestiality, because some people say they were born that way.

Even --- and perhaps especially when we hear it from our &quot;religious&quot; leaders.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In reality, this discussion is not about religion at all.

Too often African Americans victimize each other in Black on Black crime. I indeed feel your pain. However the number of African Americans attacked and left for dead or out right killed just because of their skin color is legion. A 13 year old Black child Jesse Dirkhising is brutally raped tortured and murdered in Arkansas by gay lovers and it doesn&#039;t even make the national media because it might injure the agenda of gay activists. When any attacks on gays occur they are broadcast coast to coast as hate crimes. Under the big gay tent pedophilia is condoned and embraced. That is why there are organizations like NAMBLA to protect and advance it. If calling pedophilia and abuse sin makes me a bigot, I guess this son of African slave ancestors will be a bigot. God did not lock us into instinct in this area. If he didn&#039;t give us choice how could he judge us for the choices we make. I have gay friends that I love and pray for. They do not reqiure me to love or condone what they do. In Christianity homosexuality, fornication, and adultery are all sins. God did not play favorites. That said, the efforts of homosexuals to appropriate and equate their struggles in America with African Americans is unfounded and regrettable. Amazingly while we have unraveled the human genome, we did not find any gay gene. My skin color is beyond a shadow of a doubt genetic in origin and I am not so naive as to believe that homosexuals did not oppress our people along with the rest of this american society since the African diaspora, our enslavement and our apartheid in America. Sorry but still in America race trumps &quot;sexual orientation&quot; and we still have religious freedom in our constitution that allows me to call homosexuality what God calls it: &quot;sin&quot;. That&#039;s Ok Christ died to free us from the bondage of sin.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. Dixon<br />It is unfortunate what happened to your friend. Too often African Americans victimize each other in Black on Black crime. I indeed feel your pain. However the number of African Americans attacked and left for dead or out right killed just because of their skin color is legion. A 13 year old Black child Jesse Dirkhising is brutally raped tortured and murdered in Arkansas by gay lovers and it doesn&#8217;t even make the national media because it might injure the agenda of gay activists. When any attacks on gays occur they are broadcast coast to coast as hate crimes. Under the big gay tent pedophilia is condoned and embraced. That is why there are organizations like NAMBLA to protect and advance it. If calling pedophilia and abuse sin makes me a bigot, I guess this son of African slave ancestors will be a bigot. God did not lock us into instinct in this area. If he didn&#8217;t give us choice how could he judge us for the choices we make. I have gay friends that I love and pray for. They do not reqiure me to love or condone what they do. In Christianity homosexuality, fornication, and adultery are all sins. God did not play favorites. That said, the efforts of homosexuals to appropriate and equate their struggles in America with African Americans is unfounded and regrettable. Amazingly while we have unraveled the human genome, we did not find any gay gene. My skin color is beyond a shadow of a doubt genetic in origin and I am not so naive as to believe that homosexuals did not oppress our people along with the rest of this american society since the African diaspora, our enslavement and our apartheid in America. Sorry but still in America race trumps &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221; and we still have religious freedom in our constitution that allows me to call homosexuality what God calls it: &#8220;sin&#8221;. That&#8217;s Ok Christ died to free us from the bondage of sin.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: rikyrah</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2007/10/we-fall-down-donnie-mcclurkin-and-barack-obama/comment-page-1/#comment-1536</link> <dc:creator>rikyrah</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:25:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://s45368.gridserver.com/?p=581#comment-1536</guid> <description>NMP,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How are you?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Come on back to Skeptical Brotha.

Let me ask you this...when Senator Obama spoke out against homophobia in the Black community during both the HU and HRC debates, why didn&#039;t Irene, Earl Hutchinson and other serial critics of Senator Obama use that as a springboard to launch a much overdue discussion on the issue?  Why the dead silence then and such vocal criticism now?  Nothing is ever good enough for Obama haters.  He&#039;s damned if he does and damned if he doesn&#039;t.  To my knowledge, he is the ONLY candidate who has spoken publicly about the issue and not just now but on previous occassions directly confronting Black clergy in the South.  But of course he gets no credit for that.  Instead, he gets criticism for airing our dirty laundry in front of white folks.  Be honest, this is not as much about Donnie McClurkin as it is about furthering opposition against Senator Obama using whatever means at your disposal.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;P.S.:  He&#039;s now being criticized for his association for Floyd Mayweather.  Seems odd that Floyd was celebrity contestant on Dancing with the Starts and no womens&#039; groups, all supporting Hillary Clinton by the way, had an issue with him, ABC or Disney until it was reported he would be appearing with Senator Obama at a campaign event.  This is some double standard BS and you know it!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bruce,</p><p>Rikyrah made it clear&#8211;and I share her belief&#8211;that homosexuality is genetic and not a sin.
