Again, Ms. LaVictoire says it right: the same language used by the Black pastors to castigate homosexualty was used to castigate Blacks as to why we should not have been educated, attend segregated schools for which Blacks, too, paid taxes, or why should be probhited from marrying whom we wish regardless of the racial element. Pro-slavery people turned to the Bible to rationalize slavery. God gave us free will with the hope of using it for the good of mankind. Slavery was not free will…it was IMPOSED will. In what way the imposition of one will upon another constitute free will? How can women develop their free will if men keep imposing THEIR will upon them?

We must stop focusing on these subjects that are between man and God and focus on those occurrences that have brought about the deterioration of the various Black communities, where applicable. The skyrocketing use and sales of drugs with and to each other; the early indulgence of sex resulting in the birth of babies to the most impoverished and undereducated population in the America! Homosexuality has not incurred the deterioration in the Black communities; misdirected or failed leadership has! Moreover, why do Owens and a few other ministers feel that President Obama owes THEM a personal meeting? Get in line with the rest of those seeking the same gain. Owens says the President feels that he has Blacks in his pocket. I say YOU feel that he should be in your pocket simply because of what appears to be your style of extortion. LET THE PRESIDENT ALONE! He has enough Black-hating Americans on his case!
