A group of obscure black preachers have come out opposed to President Obama's refusal to capitulate to the Congressional appeal of war-hawk, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that favors bombing, over nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Would they prefer war? Apparently! Israel already has hundreds of bombs and missiles, some nuclear and radar.
Some non-historic evangelists favor "Israel" over their own black history. Such person lead, or rather, mislead congregations large and small across America. Such folks opposed Dr. M.L. King within an annual convention of the National Baptist Convention in Kansas City in 1961, when a preacher fell off the stage in an ignoble struggle for the microphone, for control of policy, who later died!
I encountered such preachers as a student in Alabama in 1970, when, as part of the "Alabama 86," we Howard University students, as campaign workers, went to Sunday services urging support for Dr. John Cashin's run for Governor against George Wallace. Many black preachers were supporting Wallace to our surprise !
So, such opposition from preachers is not new . Such preachers also opposed Jesus Christ, in whose name they serve. I do not question such preachers' sincerity. Neither do I doubt their insufferable stupidity, to paraphrase a quote of Dr. King!
We must move on despite such doleful detractors and malefactors! And we will. But to do so, we must try to overcome our willful ignorance and insufferable stupidity; such derives from unalloyed emotion with too little reason, study, and love of oneself.
