7. My understanding is that Tavis is supporting HC |
|
and he is a dear friend of Maxine Waters.
Many African Americans, as you can tell from the audience response, they are for Obama.

8. Yeah...and Tavis has historic ties to Bob Johnson |
|
who, of course, slimed Obama in SC.
Tavis is a good guy, but like all good guys, he's wrong sometimes. And that's OK.

9. Please kick this thread |
|
because Progressive Democrats need to hear from leaders in the Black community to understand issues. Not just our African American issues ~ issues that are key to this election.

5. The main problem for me as usual |
|
is all the god god business. Otherwise it's pretty good.

6. Most of my people are Christian and GOD has been the base |
|
of all of our struggles.
We Marched with GOD as our only salvation.
We went through slavery with Christ as our only salvation.
We will never apologize for that ~

10. Most of my people were/are christian as well |
|
and more than a few of my ancestors were slaves. I have never been able to figure out how adopting massa's religion helps our cause.

11. I hear you but don't think that is going to change |
|
in the near future.
It's hard to change a fundamental part of the family experience.

I suspect that since the first book they were allowed to read was the bible, it stuck.
