Why Obama stands with his church
By Colbert I. King | Saturday, March 22, 2008 | The Washington Post
“…Truth is, folks like [MSNBC commentator Patrick] Buchanan don’t really care that America’s Christian congregations don’t look like salt and pepper on Sunday mornings. The reality of blacks and whites worshiping apart doesn’t disturb them.
If anything, Buchanan thinks African Americans are ingrates — that we should be satisfied with our station in life.
‘America has been the best country on earth for black folks,’ Buchanan wrote in his column, ‘ PJB: A Brief for Whitey,’ posted on his Web site yesterday.
‘It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known,’ he wrote.
Buchanan would have African Americans fall to their knees and thank white people for their grace….”…BS

Colbert King uses a separetist praying event from 1787 to explain ‘Why Obama stands with his church.’ He then goes on to say, “That’s still the case today with some churches.” Talk about ‘thin ice’, Colbert! A rant against Buchanan, I can understand, but to try to justify Barack’s dubious connection to the Chicago Reverend with this load of spittle leaves me wondering why the Washington Post allowed itself to be party to such a fanciful link as Colbert has been made between the article and it’s heading.
