WTF is the "Roman News Network"?

[Rex_Goodheart]

It used to be that when black victims spoke of lynchings they actually meant lynchings. Now it means being caught spewing venom against white people. I guess we've made SOME racial progress in this country.

This church is NOT helping Obama get elected. Instead of extending an olive branch they chose to get confrontational.

1. What concerns me most about this

is that this church, that has the right and freedom to their beliefs, be it Black Liberation Theology or Afrocentric is being harassed.

That other black churches may be assumed to be the same when they are not and be threatened as well.


It is tragic that this creates more divisiveness in our country not unity.



Did Obama really think this would not come out and not only hurt his electablity (Romney could not get the nomination as a Mormon) but hurt the black churches across the country? Where was his judgment?

2. Good point

I haven't heard that the TUCC has been harassed, though. You mean criticized, don't you?

I find Moss's mention of "the Roman News Network" interesting. Was that a slap against white Catholics?

God help this country if people here are stupid enough to tear down the wall of separation between church and state. God help them if their own particular brand of Christianity ever falls out of the majority's favor.

4. They've been getting death threats and bomb threats

5. his reference, I believe goes back to their teaching that the

white romans persecuted the black jesus (from one of his sermons)

in other words the white news networks

3. Would that be where you get the latest gladiator results?

And where to line up for bread?

6. What the fuck did you expect, exactly?

When the entire national news media is effectively accusing a mainstream congregation of being a bunch of racists just for going to church, it's bound to generate some ill will.

Instead of extending an olive branch they chose to get confrontational.

They don't owe YOU anything. They don't owe me or anyone else anything either. This entire episode is pathetic and ridiculous.
