THE MAVERICK BLACK MAN

No one endures more slings and arrows than the Black man who dared to have voted against President Obama, and moreover, who is vocal about the president’s policies he opposes. Although it is the wont of those who engage in authoring blogs to be anonymous because it creates more intrigue and engenders more interests in said blog, this blogger does not subscribe to such a convention. As a Black man who voted against Obama, I am called “Oreo,” “Uncle Tom”-you know the typical vitriol one must endure for not walking in lockstep with the so called black conventional thinking…. As I have explained ad nauseum to my critics, I am a traditional Christian, which means that from my interpretation of the tenets that govern my religion, any behavior that was wrong when Jesus walked the earth in the flesh—is still wrong today. Those traditional Christian tenets take precedence over my being Black or any pocket book issues; and, no matte how much I take pride in Obama being the first Black president does not trumps my allegiance on how I think the Christ would have me vote on the issues of the day. When President Obama was campaigning, I saw how this man was being seen and spoken of like he was some sort of later day messiah; but even if President Obama were to emulate Midas and provide the attendant wealth, I still would have voted against him because the homosexual lobby supports this man; the abortion faction supports this man; the Hollywood crowd supports this man; and the Europeans supports this man—any traditional Christian worth his or her salt would have seen this as a red flag and not vote for this man. This is also a president who have said that we are not a “Christian” nation—need I go through our traditions and show the Christian nexus; this is a president who insists in covering up all Art inspired by the Christian religion when he visits colleges, schools, or the like; and this is a president who referred to the Koran as “holy.” Now before I am deemed intolerant, as a traditional Christian I do not think I am better than my brothers and sisters who are gay or my sisters who've had abortions—I simply believe that even if I engaged in behavior that is proscribed by the tenets of my faith, and my God says it is wrong to do so-then it is so….I have always tried to have the courage of my convictions, even if I am seen as an “Oreo” or deemed a negative aberration--I am reminded in the Gospel of Mathew where Jesus said, “…if the world hated me…then you=2 0too who believes in me will be so hated….”
