JK!

I think the reason most African Americans voted in favor of Prop 8 is because they are one of the most religious communities in this country and most Christian churches believe that homosexuality is wrong because they think that is what the Bible tells them. Of course, most Christians have not read the book in its entirety, but that is for another discussion. Some of us believe that homosexuality, or sexuality in general, is not a choice but a product of biology. I don't care what people want to call it. I just want to see long term, same sex couples have the right to be joined in a union that gives them the same legal standing as heterosexual couples. And for the record, I held Obama accountable for Jeremiah Wright when it first happened. I always thought that if a pastor spews hate from the pulpit, you should get up and leave, not be married there and raise your children there. This is why I left the church, well that and taking seminary classes and studying Biblical languages. It's amazing how quickly you start realizing your Holy Book has some major issues. It is also really interesting to me that heterosexuals claim to be protecting the sacred institution of marriage from homosexuality, and yet, almost everyone I know has been divorced at least once. Maybe we should protect it from ourselves first. Maybe allowing people who have been denied the privilege of marriage have a chance at it will inspire all of us? Maybe my boy will finally make an honest woman out of me? ;)

Yeah I just realized what we were posting under, and I think citizen finally hit a nerve with his/her satire. ;)

Not the entire African American community, that's like saying all Southern white people are racist. But I don't understand a group of people who have been oppressed turning around and oppressing someone else.

"Oppressed?" How ?

"Oppressed?" How ?

Sorry that wasn't a clear sentence. I was refering to the African American community being oppressed.

Do you believe that the African American community is being oppressed presently? I do believe that in our history there was oppression prior to and during slavery and years to follow. Is there current oppression?

Keep in mind, there are corners of the globe where Christians are being oppressed, even killed.

Worldwide, Christians stand against oppression in all forms.

Of course there is still racial oppression. It is so much better than in the past, but it still exists. I sat at a table at a restaurant last week while these rednecks played a song on a cell phone for one another that I can only guess was entitled "Kill All the N****rs" because that was the primary refrain. We have a possible head of the Republican party, not an ignorant redneck in a restaurant, sending out CDs with a song about our president elect called "Barack the Magic Negro." There is blatant racism everytime you turn on talk radio. I shopped with a friend's adopted bi-racial child recently and had 3 people come up to tell me how shameful it was that I had had a child of another race...in 2008!!

I agree that Christians are being oppressed in places in the world, and I think that is terrible and wrong. But again, why would a group that is oppressed and has been oppressed turn around when they are in the majority in this country and become the oppressor. Why are Christians not the ones fighting for freedom and tolerance? Why do my rights have to be trampled for someone elses morality?

Wow! Things are way worse than I thought. I'm staying out of restaurants, stores and I'm not listening to radio music. Oppression is everywhere.

Why, You'd think MCW picking on Joey Preston for about 10 years was a form of oppression ?

Oppression comes in so many forms..... I'm confused.

According to my dictionaries, the definition of oppression is the unjust exercise of power.

Using that, allow me to finish the year noting an oppression that is occurring here in Anderson . And, since I think it fair to assume the City Mayor, Council and Manager are mostly ( probably all ) Christians, it is oppression by Christians.

What else does one call the exercise of power over hapless outside customers of the City’s water utility ?

The arbitrary decision to charge nonvoting outsiders a 100% tax on water in order to subsidize the enfranchised City voters’ tax bill reads like oppression to me.

Or how about the City taking away from new home owners in the water district their right to vote their personal conscience on the matter of annexation of their property ? Sounds like it meets the definition of oppression to me.

Here’s to a New Year free of oppression and depression, both economic and personal---that will never happen. . .

President Bush is asked about 'rescinding the pardon' of Isaac Toussie, which may be illegal.

These faked videos are sooo rediculous.

Happy New Year, one that is free of faked video oppression !

Hey, how about pardons for Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for bringing on the
economic crisis of home mortages via Freddie Mac ?

"Well, I'm definitely oppressed, but I've been married for so long now that I just accept it as a way of life.
(What? No, no, I'm just joking, hon. No, please, not the ... OW! OW! OW! ... TORTURE! Somebody call the U.N. Human Rights Commission"

My boy thought this was just hilarious. Thanks JD, I almost had him at the courthouse next week. ;p
