What I find funny is that I have brought out quotes from an influential black leader (how influential? well, Obama's church's website cites him as foundational to the church's vision) calling upon blacks to 'destroy the white enemy ' by whatever means needed.
However, Butrflynet thinks MY 'confrontational attitude' is the problem.
You created an opportunity for some discussion about it. Snood threw out a tidbit to test your sincerity in wanting to hear his point of view and you immediately pounced on it with ridicule and shut down further discussion. You didn't like hearing his point of view or his questions and have been badgering him to give the answers you want to hear ever since.
Snood doesn't live in that state, doesn't attend that church, is not a member of that church. For all you know, he might even agree with you a little. You shut down discussion as soon as he started talking about it and before you could find out.
Your view, or snood's view, of my 'sincerity' is of no interest to me.
I say what I mean. That's sincerity, whether you understand the meaning of it or not.
I do not care where snood lives, nor if he has ever attended Wright's church.
One need not live in Chicago nor have ever attended TUCC to recognize racist comments for what they are.
Snood's support of Obama seems to have hindered him from acknowledging that Obama has attended a racist church for the past 20 years. He has submitted himself and his children to some of the worst racial demagoguery that I can recall in recent times coming from any church pulpit.
If the situation were that this were a white man attending a predominantly white church and the pastor preached a 'White Values System' and based the church's vision statement on a book about 'White Theology and White Power' , and followed a theologian that spoke of the need to 'destroy the black enemy' and 'reject any God that doesn't support the white cause' and 'reject the idea that God is the God of all peoples'................
..............I have little doubt that snood would recognize such to be a racist church and racist pastor and would have little hesitancy about saying so.
Snood's political partisanship has got his tongue.
To accuse me of a 'confrontational attitude' for pointing out the racially inflammatory comments of James Cone who urges blacks to 'destroy the white enemy ' is laughable.
But please , keep attacking my 'discussion technique'.
It simply indicates you have nothing of substance to say.
Liberals typically focus on style over substance, and your strategy here is of no surprise.
