Conservative Black Woman: What are You First and Foremost...Black or Christian?

What are You First and Foremost...Black or Christian?

I am hard pressed to find one black christian who is not a cheerleader for Barack Obama. I find this quite puzzling in lieu of his very liberal stance on partial birth abortion.

I am ready for an African American president but at what cost? Can I let that zeal overide the fact that I'm pro-life?

Check out where Mr. Obama stands and votes on the issues or our day.

tntfaith said...: Conservative Black Woman, I share your frustration. I'm still not fully convinced by John McCain, although I was pleased with his performance at Saddleback church. I'm still waiting on his pick for VP.

Identity politics is a major theme this election season. I identify with Christ before anyone or anything else, but when Obama first arrived on the scene, I couldn't help feeling a sense of pride with his rapid ascension. However, after learning more about his record and political philosophy, I realized that I could never vote for him. I find myself alone among my family and friends, but I must hold my convictions.; August 18, 2008 at 10:21 PM
morena said...: I agree with Conservative Black Woman and tntfaith's comments. I am a conservative black married woman but I am Messianic, formerly Christian. My only allegiance is with Adonai(God) by faith in His son Yeshua (Jesus).

Outside of race, I don't identify with Obama. (Hey, isn't his birth certificate still in question?) McCain was not my choice either. I must say though, it's been interesting to watch some family & friends FINALLY see how truly racist the Democratic party is & has been when they see the facts for themselves. Now, I'm no longer alone in my convictions. Hang in there tntfaith.

Politics is local and as a native western NY resident, I want to see how this election trickles down here.; August 24, 2008 at 2:26 PM
Pamela said...: I did not support nor will I support the policies of Obama, Clinton, nor anyone of any party that (1) spits in the eye of God's principles as defined in the Bible and (2) believes that people are too stupid to solve their own problems. I an absolutely against big government. This is why the Republicans lost seats in both houses of Congress in 2006.

One of the issues I'm really concerned about is health care. While being a caretaker for my sick father I had a taste of dealing with Medicare (almost three years worth). I had no real issues with my Dad's medical bills being paid. My Dad retired from the military so he was able to get a medigap plan for military retirees for him and Mom. However because of some of the cutbacks in what doctors get paid my Mom is having a hard time finding a doctor. More and more will not take her as a patient. I thank God that my Dad's doctor took Mom as a patient. I don't think he would have otherwise. After Dad died I called the office to confirm that she was still considered one of his patients. She is in good health these days but I do not want her to be in a position where she cannot find a doctor to treat her. Needless to say I'm really scared of any candidate that will force all of us to become a part of a national government run health care system. If current doctors are reluctant to take Medicare patients what will happen to our health care system? it will become a police state. I remember when Pres. Clinton first got into office. A book was released about the health care plan that they were suggesting. I purchased the book and was absolutely horrified at what I read. It was worse than HMO plans. If doctors treated patients that were not in their area they would be issued severe fines and I believe possibly jail time. The name of the book is Health security : the President's report to the American people You can check this out in your local library. I had a copy of the book but threw it away not thinking that Hilary Clinton would run for president.

This is one of the main reasons I just could not support Obama. The only difference that I ever heard him say about his plan and Hilary's plan is that if companies did not provide health insurance they would be forced to pay into the government's plan. That would immediately close down small businesses. I owned a small business at one time. We were barely paying workers comp insurance premiums for one employee. If we were still running that business I would shut mine down with the costs of health care insurance. I fear more job losses with his health care plan. I can tell that Obama has never done anything with business. Only huge rich companies will be able to comply with this.; September 26, 2008 at 1:46 PM

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
