Careful

I have to say, if the speech by Rev. Lee was as Mrs. Ziman described, then what a disgrace. No one should have to endure such hateful words this day and age. Including the readers of this Blog.

Unfortunately, after reading through everyones’ comments, I also find it offensive and disgraceful as to how many of you speak negatively about the African American race and communities in response to this story. Understand, that we African Americans, just as any other race of people, have individual thoughts and perspectives, and don’t put as much credit in these so called leaders that preach Hate as you claim we do.

What amazes me is, we Americans say we want to move forward past racism, which we claim is not in our hearts, but the minute someone utters racist reamarks, we immediately take offense, then turn and do the same. I’ve just read inserts claiming African American communities don’t appreciate the charity, and some say they’re going to quit there services. Truthfully, a lot of you sound like the Rev Lee himself, HATEFUL! Check yourselves and your own hearts before judging.

Also, as a Sen Clinton supportor, I find it ironic how Mrs.Ziman tied Senator Obama’s name to this whole thing. She mentioned, “Rev. Lee said Obama’s our leader.” Well??? This raised a flag to her crediability for me (at no disrespect to Mrs. Ziman) because, Since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we African Americans, don’t just quickly claim someone as our leader. That just doesn’t happen. I can’t see the Rev. (or so called Rev.) saying that unless he was deliberately trying to pull Sen.Obama into this. (or is she??)

Be careful what you accept as gospel.
