On Palm Sunday when most pastors are in church preaching love, peace, and forgiveness, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are marching in the streets preaching hate, disobedience, and vengeance. Kind of makes you wonder what their Easter message will be.

On Palm Sunday, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were playing to the Liberal media and the cameras, and they were not leading the way down the path to true justice concerning the shooting of young black Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida.
Conservative Reverend C.L. Bryant (a former member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) from Texas called Jackson and Sharpton "race hustlers" and said they are "acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy." The facts show there is no epidemic of whites killing black children in America. "The greatest danger to the lives of young black men are (other) young black men," said Rev. Bryant.
While instead, the Easter message by Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should be; that it's through the grace of Jesus Christ and through the resurrection that we understand that there's hope for a better day.

WILL THE ............OBAMA'S...........BE GOING TO A ...CHRISTIAN CHURCH FOR EASTER ???
THAT BEGS THE BIGGER QUESTION....DOES....BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA....EVEN KNOW WHAT EASTER STANDS FOR ????
AND LET'S HOPE THAT MICHELLE DRESSES MODESTLY FOR A CHANGE AND REMEMBERS THAT CHURCH IS A HOUSE OF WORSHIP AND NOT A COCKTAIL LOUNGE....SLEEVELESS DRESSES IN BRIGHT COLORES ARE NOT WHAT SHOULD BE WORN IN CELEBRATING OUR LORDS RESURRECTION FROM DEATH.

Does LEON know what Easter stands for? How are sleeves a religious connotation? If the Obama's are going to a church for “Easter,” wouldn't it be Christian? Does leon go to a synagog or a mosque for Easter? Is the tradition of what is traditionally a spring ritual supposed to be celebrated by subdued colors? Why the brightly colored Easter eggs symbolizing renewal and decorated rabbits symbolizing fertility? Where does leon think Christians got the idea? Now leon wants to be the White House fashion designer. What would leon have Michelle wear, a long sleeve black hoody?

Leon: Not everyone is Christian. Is that a problem?

I think Poor Leon would prefer our First Lady and perhaps all ladies in a Burka! (sp?)

Three youngsters in the Dallas Fort Worth area learned to their sorrow that trying to pull a fast one by stealing from the town’s residents can be a fatal idea. In fact, one of them died in the attempt. According to KDFW Fox 4 Dallas Fort-Worth’s report on the subject:
Three youngsters rang the doorbell and then ran to the back of the home, prompting the homeowner to call 911.
The trio then allegedly kicked in the back door and entered the home, where the unidentified resident opened fire, killing 14-year-old Luis Avila.
Neighbors said they saw a couple of kids who looked like they were up to no good running from the house. They also heard five gunshots, a pause and then three more shots.
Since the kid is obviously White Hispanic, we won’t be seeing Al Sharpton and the Reverennnnd Jacksonnnn running to his defense…
Can you spell R-A-C-I-S-M? Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination".

To carry forward RH's point- like affirmative action. Predisposes that minorities can't be measured in the same way as white people. I disagree. Other then being a horrible President, Barak Obama is likely smarter and similarly if not more qualified then most community activists (whatever that means). He is a smart person and should be compared against other people on that and that alone.
