Barack Obama's church affiliation has been under public scrutiny the past few days.
A Christian church, he proudly proclaims.
Great. People should have a faith to ground them in their thinking, to guide their morals, and foster their ideals.
Except in this case, his church only admits blacks to become members of the congregation.
You see, it is a black church. It supports and promotes, he claims, black values, black society, and black progress.
This sounds unbelievable. I cannot even imagine the furor that would erupt if any white candidate (for any office) announced that they were Christian, but attended a church closed to blacks.
But I must also admit that I am baffled at how exclusionary groups like the Black NCO clubs can exist in the armed forces. How the Black Police Officers Association can be allowable. Or the Congressional Black Caucus (please see my post from August 28, 2007.) The list of other examples goes on and on.
Racism has and IS being used as a political tool. Oddly enough, it is being held out an an example of the evil the liberals are trying to defeat.
So how come this liberal (Obama) is safe even though he engages in exclusionary practices?
Before you get excited, this is not about being Baptist. Or Methodist. Or Catholic.
This is about why it is OK for one group to be segregationists, but not another.
I for one am sick and tired of double standards.
For instance, if the "N" word is so despicable and deplorable, then why is it not universally condemned in both black and white society? Yet we all know who can and who cannot get away with using the "N" word.
If discrimination is also so deplorable and condemned, then why do we allow IT to go on anywhere?
Certain groups of people want to have their cake and eat it too: they want equality. They want fairness. They want the same things as everyone else.
But at the same time they want special considerations. Special rules. Special treatment.
That is NOT equality. That is NOT fairness.
This system is a disgrace and we all know it. I am done with Political Correctness.
Right is right and wrong is wrong.
This is clearly wrong.
Obama should condemn the 'blacks only' policy of his church.
Don't count on him doing so.
