Black faith leaders aim to strip 25 percent of black vote from Obama

That would be some poetic justice. There's no question black americans have suffered the most under Obama that last 4 years. I'm still skeptical a goal like this can be attained, but if so, it would one of the best things to happened to america in recent years. Finally, black spiritual leaders are standing up to the attack that Obama has leveled at them and their faith.

I'm hoping and praying more and more black americans will rise up and vote republican, like black actress Stacey Dash. I'd trade the Snoops and Samuels and Cosbies for her all day.

Black faith leaders announce campaign goal to strip 25 percent of black vote from Obama

Unhappy with President Barack Obama‘s support of same-sex marriage, a group of African-American faith leaders have announced a campaign aimed at stripping 25 percent of the black vote that went to Obama in 2008 (95 percent).

The newly formed nonprofit group, God Said, will begin targeting voters in Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Florida with television and radio advertising, as well as a grassroots campaign to encourage people to consider the gospel when they enter the voting booth.

“The black community is among the most religious in America and we are offended that President Obama has announced his support of same-sex marriage, that the NAACP has blindly supported the secular views of the Democratic Party, and that their national platform plainly supports same-sex marriage,” said Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani of RagingElephants.org, and a God Said founder, in a statement. “I am confident that this message will be well received and acted upon on Election Day.”

The group currently has 22 advisory board members and plans to spend an estimated $1 million on the campaign, a spokesperson told TheDC, adding that its message has support among other faith leaders and congregants, including the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP), which has vociferously protested against Obama’s same-sex marriage stance. Some of the CAAP members are on the God Said board.

“During the 2008 elections, 70 percent of African Americans voted to ban same-sex marriage in California while they also voted for Barack Obama for president,” added Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and black outreach director of the pro-life Priests for Life. “We fully intend to shift 25 percent of the black vote from the 2008 election by charging every voter to examine each candidate and vote for the one that supports their core belief in natural marriage.”

The group claims their goal is to give voice to black supporters of traditional marriage who feel like they are not represented by the Democratic Party or NAACP. To be sure, a vast majority of African Americans identify as Democratic.​

 

Liberals eating their own is always amusing...

 

---Upon reading the thread title I was hopeful. I thought that black leaders were going to really start shouting about the absurd crime rates , abysmal graduation rates, the number of unwed mothers and other problems rotting away the black community. I forgot that rampant homosexuality is why I take the express way to downtown Detroit, and take it straight back out when I'm done doing whatever it is I am doing in the square mile of relatively safe area in that dump. Can't take the side streets for fear of being hauled from my vehicle by ravaging queers and raped.

---I am really glad they will be spending a million on keeping others down rather than lifting themselves up. A million big ones couldn't be more helpful if spent on educating and preparing black youth for adulthood, or providing unwed mothers with a means of turning their lives around, or as a means of disentangling black men from the penal system and a lifetime of crime.

 

The internet will help educate people as to the truth about the democrat party's true history of racism:

Awesome!!!

 

Go have a ball doing it. But I do have to agree with Eke, it's one issue. It's not an issue that's going to put bread on the table, unless you have a job making the ads.

 

The sanctity of marriage is a big issue for african americans considering so many are born out of wedlock. How can you on one hand say fathers are important to households, but on the other indorse lesbian marriages? It's a contradiction. Either fathers are essential to black families or they are not. The same with mothers. If a mother and father are essential, than how would gay marriage and adoption be ideal?

Good black religious leaders have addressed this issue for a long time (though it mostly falls on deaf ears, especially while liberal ears), and are now seeing Obama and the democrats leave them behind. I think it's an important issue.

 

A lot of issues are big for African Americans. In this economy, why care about stopping people from getting married, when you want to get a job?

 

Read my post. I just addressed that. Look especially at the part about "deaf ears." Poverty in the black community has always been an issue. The destruction of their families is a big part of it.

 

If it's always been an issue, why change? If it's not getting anywhere, then shouldn't that be a bigger concern?

 

It hasn't always been an issue in the black community. In fact, black families did much better financially when they had good family structures. That seemed to fall apart when they moved to the democratic party.

 

And stopping gay marriage is going to stop the decline? Wouldn't a much bigger concern be drug usage? And I want to hear from you, when did African Americans go to the Democrat party? Give me a year.

 

A few upset evangelical black religious types aren't gonna persuade many blacks if any to think they have a home in the republican party. Why would blacks in any numbers vote conservative/ republican? Just listen to what is said regarding blacks on this forum and you can see that the rhetoric is not exactly all that friendly towards them by conservatives. Expect over 90% to once again vote democratic. Hispanics as well which were once up for grabs have moved away from republicans due to some of the anti immigrant rhetoric. Blacks the republicans can just write off but that hispanic vote which is the largest growing block of voters is going to be something they better start trying to appeal to or they are finished as a national party in the very near future.

 

Most blacks are very religious people, be it Christian or Muslim. Both have cultural taboos against homosexuality, as well, stemming from tribal culture. I can see why this is an issue for them and why they would not vote for him.

 

I think you're mistaking thinking that insults toward Obama or black liberals are insults toward blacks. It's a common misconception. Conservatives love black conservatives.

70% of african americans voted to ban same sex marriage in California. This is a real issue in which blacks are stomped all over by the democratic party.

Now do I think these leaders will peal of 25%. Perhaps on this time around. But wouldn't be surprised of they could peal off another 10% maybe 15.

 

I think this is a case in point of just how blacks are mocked by liberals. Again, it has nothing to do with taboo, nor even religion. It's an issue of the family, and how a strong family structure benefits its members. Blacks by in large grow up without fathers in the home. Among those black families that have fathers in the home, their success rate increases dramatically. Yet liberals tell them fathers don't matter—two mothers are just as good.

These are facts, not religious taboo. The truth is, liberals are actually very irrational about gay marriage, even to the point of being religious about it. It doesn't matter who it hurts, they've deemed it a religious dogma.

 

hahahahahahahaha

 

No doubt many blacks are somewhat socially conservative and always have been. That has never stopped them from voting overwhelmingly democratic for decades. And the rhetoric around here is directed at lot more than just Obama. Every day we see several threads which are like little klan meetings just bashing the heck out of blacks for one thing or another. Thats their right , but to believe that will ever attract black votes is dreaming IMO.

 

dupe..........................

 

Actually, I see a lot more racism come from the left, especially toward black conservatives. Just look at the tweets Stacey Dash received when she came out of the closet. Look at all the racist comments from black celebrities toward Romney. Liberals are far more likely to be racists toward blacks that don't walk the line as they're supposed to, and let's not even get into the leftism and anti-semitism.

But conservatives embrace black conservatives with open arms—be it alan west, herman cain, thomas sowell, clarance thomas, stacey dash, etc.

 

Ok yeah sure lol

 

Really? You really believe that there is more coming from the left? Within the black community there is a bit of anxiety related to politics and black culture but that is not racism by definition. That is cultural. If I were to generalize (and I will) I'd say that liberals treat blacks like they are special ed kids that need non-stop assistance and conservatives forget there is a middle class of blacks until they need to trot them out for rallies and make like most of them are of the criminal class.

I honestly think both liberals and conservatives are racists...in general--meaning, not "all" but enough to paint a general picture of behavior.

 

I think you're right about white liberals. The don't respect blacks they pity them. But conservatives respect blacks as being intelligent and not needing handouts from white liberals. I think affirmative actions has done much more harm than good in the black community. Some would call me a racist for that.

 

I believe welfare along with its restrictions had more to do with the break down of all poor families.

 

That sounds like a win/win to me. Getting rid of Obama will accomplish both.
