Was it a miracle or was it people just fed up with the current trend and picked whomever the democrats had to offer? Apparently in North Carlina, with a church full of happy people, a minister there said it was God who granted us this black president since apparently Jesus just now realize, after 300 years, that blacks needed to be vindicated.

RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- Pastor Shirley Caesar-Williams opened her sermon Sunday at Mount Calvary Word of Faith Church with a prayer of thanks for the election of Barack Obama -- at the risk of her flock getting "more excited over this than you do over the word."

"God has vindicated the black folk," the Grammy-winning gospel singer said as a member of the congregation waved an American flag and another marched among the pews blowing a ram's horn.

"Too long we've been at the bottom of the totem pole, but he has vindicated us, hallelujah," she cried. "I don't know about you, but I don't have nothing to put my head down for, praise God. Because when I look toward Washington, D.C., we got a new family coming in. We got a new family coming in. And you know what? They look like us. Amen, amen. They look like us."

Thank God racism is over ....

You know the funny thing is, a lot of blacks are saying, "He's one of us! He's one of us!"

He's almost as white as you can get: Well-educated, well-spoken, pretty much "sold out to the Man".

I hope he inspires other blacks to be a little more conforming to society, rather than trying to be successful while "keeping it real".

Note to the black youth: Obama has declared that "you need to pull your pants up, nobody wants to see your underwear." And, to all the white youth that think it's cool, go ahead and pretend it applies to you, too.

so then you didn't vote for him YZF :rofl:

and btw, the "pastor" cited in cz's OP is a moron...God does NOT approve of someone who supports abortion and calls gays his "brothers and sisters"


Wait, isn't this pastor doing Jesus work by embracing those who sin?

Hate the sin there Joe, not the sinner.

so then you didn't vote for him YZF :rofl:

Probably he did so that he could get himself a government check...Obama is going to pay his mortgage.

i cant wait to see what will happen. i don't feel and danger.

I've said it before, with all due respect the biggest initiator of race problems is the portion of the black population that harps on the race card all the time. Imagine that--someone who's supposedly a person following God, to say they wont bow their head before God because of the skin color of a man that won an election. Bowing before God is not done because of shame or sorrow, and happiness doesnt change the pecking order. They say they want race equality, but the very first thing they want to talk about is the color of someone's skin. And this is just one more example of that.
