Pastor: Obama has no 'black experience' to speak of

A conservative black pastor and former NFL linebacker says he's highly offended that President Obama would compare the plight of homosexuals to that of blacks during the Civil Rights Era.

On Monday, President Obama told a gathering of homosexuals at the White House that he is aware that many of them "don't believe progress has come fast enough," and compared their struggles to those of blacks during the Civil Rights Movement.

Ken Hutcherson, the senior pastor of ***********0000ff]Antioch Bible Church[/COLOR] in Kirkland, Washington, says the comments are especially disturbing from an individual who is supposed to be familiar with "the black experience."

"But I guess we...have to ask, 'Even though he is black because his father was, what is his "black experience"?' He doesn't have any. He was raised by a white mother and a white grandmother, so this man has about as much black experience as my Doberman Pinscher -- and I guarantee [that] my Doberman Pinscher doesn't have any," he points out. "There is nothing, nothing that compares between what the Afro-Americans went through and what homosexuals are going through now."

Hutcherson expresses disgust with evangelicals who still support President Obama, despite his promotion of policies that are at odds with scripture. He says such individuals are part of the "evangellyfish" movement in America.

"A person can be as black as a piece of coal, [but] if he goes against God's biblical views, I would not support him, I would not endorse him, I would not even give a smile in his direction so people could even think that I endorse him," he states, "because God is my God, the Bible is my playbook, and I run it the way it is written."

During his speech to homosexuals on Monday, Obama suggested that Christians like Hutcherson who oppose homosexuality on biblical grounds hold to "worn arguments and old attitudes." (***********0000ff]See earlier article[/COLOR])

As long as Hutcherson doesn't drink, smoke, have any outside children, waited until marriage to have sex, doesn't use contraception, doesn't use foul language of any kind and keep business and politics out of his church...then I think we are ok. I hope he doesn't think that hardcore white evangelicals are going to pat him on the back for trying to take a swipe at Obama. And...who did he vote for in the election? I didn't see him at McCain's concession speech.

 

Is he related to Emmitt Smith? Kinda looks like him

 

What about loving ur next?

Ur next can be Gay, Black or what so ever
I don´t understand how some christian churches can get so fanatic.... and then they say it is all about love!

Where????
I don´t see this love!

 

Nobody likes a sanctimonious moralizer, I learned that at a young age. Hutcherson must obviously live in a glass house and has never done anything horrific like tearing the tag off a pillow or forgetting to recycle.

In light of recent news, we really have no idea what Hutcherson does behind closed doors because we really don't know him like that.

At least we're not supposed to.

 

Snaps...I didn't realize it but he kinda does..

 

christians tend to abide what the bible says....if the bible said homosexuality is bad, then it must be good for christians to say gay is no way..

Wow. That video was hilarious.:smt043

 

rev. hutch is a clown.. but it's his God given right, so...

 

Ok I hope I can put in the right words.
Even when there is something bad, when I go by that what Jesus seems to be to me, U should anyway love this person, because this perons don´t know it any better. And how u can be soooooo offending to someone who is failing, because he cannot be an other way?

 

Agreed. Christianity is a way of life, it is living your life the way Christ did.
Being a christian and trying to live with the way of the world is a very difficult task, I stuggle with it myself everyday.
There are lots of phony bible thumbing, gun-toting, racist, sexist, agist, nationalist, homophobe, neo-con extreme right wing fundementalist who call themselves christians. So don't be surprised if someone is killing, murdering, and stealing in the name of christianity. Hell, it was not to long ago, when a bible thumbing neocon ???christian??? who walked in to a church full of congregation with a loaded semi automatic gun to murder a worshiping christian doctor. So there you have it.

 

Oh
I wish this world would be a better place.
I see myself sometimes failing and I see other people fail and I just don´t understand how u can get so radical about some things. As long as it is not hurting other people and making them feel bad... what is the problem??

It is so easy to tell other people how they should be. But it all start with urself.

 

YOU BETTA PREACH!!!rayer:

I think what made Jesus such a righteous dude was the fact that even though he had the right to judge people, he never once did even though he would not have been wrong by doing so.

I've been saying this for a while; if Jesus really knew what kind of "Christians" he had running around here, he'd climb back up on the cross and start all over again.

 

When u judge other people u are BAD!!!

 

I am just using this an excuse to post MJ's song.
