Democratic Convention Chief Wants Reparations For Blacks




Democratic convention chief wants reparations for blacks

wnd

The woman commissioned by the Democratic Party to direct its presidential nominating convention in two weeks espouses the same black liberation theology pursued by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church presumptive nominee Barack Obama was forced to leave because of its controversies.

Those included Wright's condemnation of America and a vicious attack on Hillary Clinton from the pulpit, and WND reported when, finally, the Obama campaign announced the candidate resigned his 20-year membership in the church.

Now a profile in the New York Times reveals Rev. Leah Daughtry, a Pentecostal minister who leads a congregation of 20 in Washington, embraces "black liberation theology" beliefs such as the "debt" the U.S. "owes" all blacks for slavery.

The Times describes the congregation in which Daughtry was raised – the House of the Lord Church in Brooklyn, N.Y., where generations of family members, including her father Herbert Daughtry, have preached for decades:

"Below the sanctuary, in the fellowship hall, a banner for slavery reparations proclaimed, 'They Owe Us.' Fliers recounted Herbert Daughtry's arrest, a few weeks earlier, as he led marchers protesting the not-guilty verdict in the police killing of Sean Bell, an unarmed black man. His ministry has always combined consuming spirituality with black liberation theology – the theology Jeremiah Wright invoked this spring to defend his controversial sermons – and zealous political activism. Leah holds these forces within her."

Judi McLeod, a former Toronto Sun columnist, opined it will be "Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a skirt" as Daughtry leads the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

When Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, announced Daughtry's appointment to the post of convention CEO, he cited her "strong guidance, skilled leadership and counsel."
McLeod writes, "Like Wright, Daughtry is in your face about her activism," noting Daughtry told the Capitol Hill publication The Hill in May 2007, "That’s why I work in politics. My family, we're activists."
Said McLeod: "Some would say with Marxist Momma in the top job, it's little wonder why Barack Obama is the DNC's Golden Boy coming to Denver with mainstream media garnered rock star status."

Daughtry supports abortion, as does her father's church.

Throughout her Times interview, Daughtry did not put any distance between herself and the black liberation theology of James Cone.

"At the basis of black liberation theology is the understanding that God has a special place in His heart for those at the bottom of the ladder," said Daughtry.


REPARATIONS RAP

Wild Thing's comment.........

“Reparations!” The new “american” dream! And you don’t have to work for it! This reparations crap is the most enabling rascist whoremongering tact yet. This is socialist redistributionist theory that must never happen.

The Democrat party, the party of anger and bitterness! These people are steeped in their Marxist thinking. I wonder if they will be singing the BLACK National Anthem?


....Thank you Mark for sending this article and link.

With America in major financial turmoil and no one standing out as a leader for the United States, we have a bunch of freely educated Blacks that wants the Government to hand them money because of their skin color! The past is the past - Your own tribal leaders sold your people out- So you were sold into "slavery" now you want to be paid for something that was done to your ancestors! This crap is so dumb - If you hate it here go back to Africa- You are not going to be getting money because there was a slave in your genealogy! You have a chance to make a good life and live in freedom but you only gripe that we owe you-! You people need some real Christian and American values combined- and be thankful that you have had a chance to be living in the best country in the World- instead of trying to tear it apart for the sake of the "all mighty dollar"-- Give me a friggin break!!!! BLACKS HAVE BEEN HANDED FREE HOUSING - FOOD AND EDUCATION FOR YEARS - we are tired of feeding, clothing, housing, and trying to keep you off drugs and out of prisions!! Trying to get you to be productive citizens- but the more we give the more you demand and do not deserve!! WHY DON'T YOU START TO GIVE BACK- AND GIVE US SOMETHING BESIDE THE FOOL YOU WANT AS PRESIDENT!! HOW ABOUT THAT FOR REPARATION?? WHAT A FARCE!! LMAO!!!

She pastors a church of twenty (20) people and that gives her skilled leadership capabilities? Now, if she built her church to 2,000 people, then I could agree with the leadership capabilities but only 20?

I wonder if they're going after Blacks for reparations too? After all, 28% of Free Negros in New Orleans owned slaves. One of the largest salve owner was a Black woman.

Who kept them on the plantation before the great flood of Nawlins? Who bemoaned the demise of the Chocolate city when it's denizens refused to return? Who howled loudest and did the least to help themselves then bit the hand that helped them. Sorry WT my charitable side just went south. F'em!!!!

Sorry Rev Daughtry. I feel no White guilt. I think Blacks have at least as good an opportunity as White or Asian kids to do well. Some succeed, but too many of the Black community blow their chance by living a sub-culture and chasing "bling". Your leaders, including yourself, are some of the most unrealistic and corrupt people around.

Pay me reparations for my costs due to Black crime.

Reparations my ass! Who is going to pay reparations for the black arrogance, separatist, anti-American, irresponsible, and racist disproportionate amount of crime, illegitimate births, drain on social services, drain on medical services, and other destructive actions that are destroying the country by hyphenated African-Americans?

Conservative talk show hosts and bloggers should cover black liberation theology and reparations and it's support by Rev. Leah Daughtry, Barack Obama, and the DNCC during their convention. Let the voters know what they will be getting into if Obama becomes President and the Dems gain a larger control of Congress.

Ok what about the millions of Irish, Polish, German, Italians who immigrated, (legally by the way) after slavery are they still responsible for slavery, afterall they were not even here during that period.

What about the cost to the country the Soldiers and Sailors who died for the freedom, the Blacks still seem to think they don't have ?

The sign that is in the Church that blatantly states, " You owe us" is the whole problem until that attitude changes it doesn't matter how much we give them it will never be enough.

As Tom said, I, too don't feel any white guilt and owe them nothing.

What they aren't realizing there won't be a cash payment, no not any but their leaders will get all of any benfit that is forthcoming and the cycle will continue til hell freezes over, or the Browns win a superbowl.

Fine. Next thing I want to know is how $$$$ it will cost me to buy back Affirmative Action, set-asides of all kinds, and every preferential practice from job hiring to contracts. Then we can talk. You can't have both.

Remember that old Arab saying: Take what you want and then pay for it.

Do I get any reparations? One of great grandmas (my dad's dads mom) was the grand daughter of slaves, who were freed and ended up in Vermont. I won't get anything because my skin is pinky beige. Not every black came from slaves and many whites have black in them from slaves. This is a disgusting thing to expect--some kind of free money to tell them we're sorry. They forget it was the Africans themselves who sold their own to the West Indies and it was a white man named Lincoln who freed them. So give this a rest and stop expecting something for nothing! Get yourself a job and buy your own reparations. Make yourself useful to the world.

My Father is a Jew. Where are his reparations?
My Mother's side of the family is Irish indentured sevants (slaves, worse than blacks). Is my Mother going to get reparations?

Holy Shiite! Does that mean I get DOUBLE reparations?

Lordy! Lordy!

Posted by: Steve, Mixed Breed at August 13, 2008 08:17 PM


I will be more than happy to pay reparations...

As soon as these Dembulbs show me when I owned a slave, when I sold a slave, when I abused a slave or when, at ANY point in time I stated that I supported slavery...

Until that time, the Dems, the reparations idiots and that ugly woman in the picture can ALL kiss my big Texas ass...

Posted by: TexasFred at August 13, 2008 08:20 PM


Cheryl, AMEN and DITTO! I agree!!

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 10:59 PM


BobF, very interesting, thank you for the information and the link. Well yessss if they are going to do this they better make it known ahead of time it will also be money coming from blacks as well as whites. heh heh I bet that will go over like a lead balloon. hahahaa

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:05 PM


Jack, no need to be sorry, I agree with you. I have had it with these assclowns ( hope I spelled that right).

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:08 PM


Tom, ditto that, this is beyond stupid among other names I can give it. It needs to be stopped right in it's tracks and I mean in the strongest way possible.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:10 PM


Les, I mean this with all I am. IF our Republicans do NOT nip this in the bud and they could do it if they had the guts to it would stop this insane talk about it.


It should be shot down every time someone brings it up. Let the Blacks know they will be paying big time financially along with ole whitie for this. See how they like it.

Thanks for the graphics.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:15 PM


Mark, amen to that and they are kidding themselves BIG time if they think this will happen. If our Republicans thought the phones rang off the wall with their attempt at amnesty, OMG..... wait till they try to put this through.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:21 PM


Rhod, yessss they better think hard and long about this and know there will be an outrage like the old days if they think they can pull this BS off.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:26 PM


Lynn, I agree, they sure want to forget (on purpose) that blacks sold blacks into slavery too.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:28 PM


Steve, Mixed Breed, heh heh.

"Holy Shiite! Does that mean I get DOUBLE reparations?".....OK then you have to buy lunch. haha

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:33 PM


Texas Fred.....hahahaha good one!!!!!

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 13, 2008 11:34 PM


We 365 days in a regular calendar year. January 18 is MLK Day, February is Black History Month, December 26 - January 1 is Kwanzaa...
1 + 28 + 7 = 36 days out of 365? Hmmmmmm??
When will the Jews get reparations from Egypt and Pharoah??? "I Sphinx this topic is getting OLD, eh????"
