Guests On The "Al Sharpton Radio Show": "The Black Church Is Under Attack!!!"

TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT - The words used in my postings and my content selection do not fully express my sentiments as I watch the latest assault upon our community's consciousness.

As I witness the would be "Pillars Of Our Community" that have been allowed to fester into "Street Pirates" - today's primary attackers WITHIN the Black Community there is no joy in my heart in posting their latest molestation for gratuitous reasons.

If you tune into "Black Wing Talk Radio" anywhere around the country and listen to the (sub-section of the Black press that is the......) "LampBlacked Yellow Journalist Black Press - you will note an intrinsic bigotry and hatred that represents itself as RESOLVE and "Black Power".   Their main goal is to hijack the Black Community's consciousness for their own ideological and political purposes.

"A People Needs To Always Engage In A Struggle" / "The Black Church Is Under Attack"

I only caught the last 7 minutes of the "Keeping It Really Progressive With Al Sharpton" show on yesterday. Right before his show was interrupted with Don King telling about how one of his truck full of holiday turkeys was hijacked I heard two Black Progressive preachers of some sort talking with Professional Progressive Political Preacher Rev Al Sharpton.

The female of the two said the words in the section header above.
I was just about to agree with her statement that "The Black Church Is Under Attack" until she spoke of THE ATTACKERS.

In the mind of this woman of the cloth who is "Shaprton's type of Christian" the banks that are foreclosing on Black churches represent the preeminent threat to the Black Church.

I can think of several metro-Atlanta Black churches who's pastors implemented a "Built It Bigger And They Will Come (To Put More Money In The Church Building Fund After The Fact)" strategy.   A church that I am thinking of in particular has a massive sanctuary and is forced to use the ushers to guide everyone to their seat so that people don't scatter.  On its best day it is no more than 2/5ths full with their congregation densely packed toward the front.

For this pastor speaking on the Sharpton show any bank that kept its end of the bargain, providing the construction loan to the church - possibly going along with this "Stretch Goal For Jesus" - but dares to foreclose as the church body breaches the term has done the 2011 version of a "Black Church Burning".

On the front end of the loan this same consciousness liked wondered "Is The Black Church Creditworthy In The Eyes Of The White Bankers"?

Common Theme Of All Of The Following Articles: Black Owned Banks Struggle As Their Church Construction Loan Portfolio Takes A Hit In The Down Economy

• Huffington Post: Black-Owned Banks Struggle To Stay Out Of The Red
• BE 100s Report: Seaway Takes Over Legacy Bank - Black Enterprise
• BlackAmericans.com - Black Own Banks Struggle To Stay Alive

This next group of articles cast the "Theft Of Black Intergenerational Wealth" seen in the housing market upon Black churches:

• Democracy Now: Former Wells Fargo Employee Admits Targeting Black Churches With Subprime Loans
• BlackPlanet.com - Bank Targeted Black Churches for Subprime Loans
• The Grio.com (Owned By MSNBC) - The Unholy Alliance - Black Churches Face Foreclosure

Despite the fact that many of the Black owned banks that had a significant portion of their loan portfolio vested in the once rock solid "Black church construction" market are on the ropes and many may not survive - the news that Wells Fargo and other banks offered 'higher than market average interest loans" to Black banks proves to be a more interesting indictment to some.

Several times previously I have rhetorically asked if it was possible for Black community financial institutions to survive the antics that are promoted on a near daily basis by SOME "Black Wing Talk Radio hosts".   They use the threat of protest on the front end to grease the skids for loans and then they play bankruptcy services commercials in heavy rotation on the bank end to allow their loyal base of listeners to dislodge their financial commitments.  It was the BANK, after all, that targeted them because they were Black.  {/sarcasm}

Again - my new disposition is "Don't Hate The Player Hate The Game". 

Those who don't have equal leverage are going to use INDICTMENTS as a means of winning favor.  It was the banks who reduced their loan requirements in pursuit of profits so they are not faultless.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY REAL AGENDA FOR THIS POST.....

"Another Ninja Got Himself Kilt" - Just Days After Rapper "Slim Dunkin" Was Killed In A Similar Violent Exchange Of Words



The STRUGGLE over the issues of church financing is merely a diversion.
The video above shows two things:

1. Those who have proven themselves to be a greater material threat to the Black Church's physical plant
2. The EVIDENCE that the Black Church has been too focused on its "Building Fund" and "choir robes".

"The Street Pirate" deserves to be "The Black Community's Person Of The Quarter Century".

Regardless of how much the individual elements of the 'Black Racial Services Machine' use a particular current affair for the purposes of their INDICTMENTS........we only need to wait a few days for a Street Pirate who SHOULD HAVE BEEN "finished" inside of their church and community culture to do something that amounts to the very same violation that the Civil Rights Pharisees are protesting an outsider over.

• A Police Man Shoots One Unarmed Black Man?  - Just wait.  A Street Pirate will shoot 40 of us between the last police shooting and the next one.
• In Response To The Police Shooting A Caller On "Fight The Power Radio" Says That The WHITE SUPREMACY That The White Cop Was Indoctrinated With Came Out During This "Lynching" (Yes that was said yesterday on the radio) - The caller necessarily has to STAY SILENT in trying to rationalize the antics of the Street Pirates who are killing Blacks.  IF "cultural indoctrination" is the reason for the WHITE COP'S behavior - please tell us that you can be intellectually consistent and proclaim that the PREVAILING BLACK CULTURE in some communities produces the very same consciousness of murder.  (Or do I need to upload some additional scenes from "The First 48" marathon that I have recorded? )
• A Bank's Terms Are Onerous Upon The Black Community?  - A Street Pirate Throws A Molotov Cocktail upon a Black woman that he says owes her $2,000.  
• The Subdivision Builder Refuses To Clean The Pool Because He Claims That Not Enough Homeowers Are Paying Their Community Association Fees?  There Is A Street Pirate Ring That Is Stealing HVAC Units From Black Churches.  Causing Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars In Damage In Order To Receive A Few Dollars For Scrap Metal

Since external indictments prove to be a more unifying pursuit - the Civil Rights Pharisees who are watching all of the exploits are forced to remain silent.

This shows that their agenda is not CORRECTION of the Black Communities issues in which they are mitigated into a more reasonable proportion to our population numbers.  Instead they are ONLY interested in CONGREGATIONAL UNITY.   As long as the balance of Black people agree on who is the devil - this church that they have built up at the expense of our consciousness will be full to the rafters.

The preachers on stage profit dearly from the "love offering" that lines their pockets.
