Black right wing evangelical, Bishop E. W. Jackson Sr., says President Obama, his administration and Attorney General Eric Holder engaging in "pay-back" against whites in Black Panther case.
Another right wing evangelical has come out swinging against the Obama administration. Bishop E. W. Jackson Sr., president of Staying True to America's National Destiny, or STAND, has denounced the president, his administration and Attorney General Eric Holder in a press release that appeared on the Christian News Wire service. He has accused Attorney General Eric Holder of engaging in "pay-back" against white people, specifically in the handling of the black panther case. Here's an excerpt from the
press release:
During the 2008 Presidential election, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside a voting poll in Philadelphia dressed in black uniforms and carrying nightsticks. Film shows that they were physically blocking the voting entrance at times and making racially incendiary statements such as, "Now you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker." They also called white voters "devils."
According to Bishop Jackson, the Black Panther case shows liberal racism in treating minorities like inferior victims entitled to special treatment. J. Christian Adams, former Assistant Attorney General and lead attorney on the Black Panther case, has alleged hostility in Obama's AG office to bringing any cases of black intimidation of white voters. The case against the Panthers was dismissed even though career Assistant AG's said it was an easy case which they had already won by default.
The Attorney General accused America of being a "nation of cowards" when it comes to matters of race. "His answer," asks Jackson, "is to reward racist thugs with special treatment? To give favored treatment to a black group which represents racial hatred? If this were the KKK, would treatment be the same?"
STAND's President argues that we are witnessing the Jeremiah Wright-Barack Obama connection. As a Pastor himself, Jackson believes that the influence of Wright on Obama is profound and persistent. Therefore, the President appointed an A.G. with the same racial orientation. "Their racial attitudes," says the Bishop, "are now showing up in administration policy at the highest levels, and this is dangerous."
Sorry, but I find Barack Obama and his administration operating under similar tactics like the Bush administration and to say that they are engaging in racist behavior, including a "pay-back to white people," is just unconscionable. I wonder how much money is Mr. Jackson collecting in the form of grants from the U.S. government for his so-called grassroots organization? Since Bishop Jackson is dabbling in policy issues, shouldn't he give up his church's tax-exempt status? Taxpayers like me are footing the bill for his vile brand of preaching the gospel.
