How can someone who has literally made a career out of lying live with herself, much less run for president of the United States? How can anyone justify supporting or voting for someone who lies about lies that she’s used to cover other lies? Drip. Drip. Drip. The lies keep coming out in drips about so many different scandals, and her supporters are running out of creative ways to “rational lies” her own conflicting public statements including those made under oath.
I don’t blame Hillary for not holding a press conference for the past 274 days and counting. Why risk one of the reporters’ asking inconvenient questions?
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a column applauding Trump for reaching out to African-Americans and raising issues pertinent to those living in the inner cities. One reader criticized me for bashing Trump. I suggested he re-read the column.
Another reader sent an email with his phone number and asked me to call him. He wrote, “My name is Rev. W. J. Coleman, Jr. and I am a resident of Louisville, MS. I would be honored to speak with you. I read your article ‘Trump asks for black voters.’ He has this Black American vote!”
Needless to say, Mr. Coleman’s email piqued my interest, and I called him. By the way, he told me I could quote him, and encouraged me to call him any time I needed information about a number of different issues.
I learned a lot from Coleman. In my column on Trump, I had used “African-American” almost exclusively. Coleman told me he wasn’t “African-American.” He said, “I’ve never even been to Africa!” I got a chuckle out of that! Coleman said he was black.
We talked some politics, and Coleman told me the word “conservative” was code in the black community for “white.” Really? Yes! I tested this with my students, and some of my black students confirmed that many blacks consider the word to be anti-black. One black student told me his parents and grandparents were extremely conservative, but would never use that word to describe themselves.
Coleman and I enjoyed a fruitful conversation, and began making plans to meet for supper one night. Both of us practice taking our wives out on Friday nights for dates, so we decided we’d meet at Pap’s Place in Ackerman the following Friday. Both Coleman and his wife are strong, biblical Christians as opposed to social Christians. Over meals of fried catfish, fries, chicken ‘n’ dumplings, ribs, green beans, and a host of other Southern specialties, we talked more about faith and family than anything else.
Progressives and PC Police (PPCP) have effectively removed “faith” particularly Christian faith from politics, government and education. More devastating is how the PPCP have removed the family from politics, government and education.
The number of black families with two parents has been turned on its head. Early in the 20th Century, blacks had very strong families with the highest percentage of two-parent families by race in America. Today only about 25 percent of black families have two parents, and a majority are headed by single mothers.
The decline of traditional families and real Christian faith in America are the roots of many of our problems. We have a problem with race in America: the human race. By encouraging and strengthening the traditional family and returning to real Christian faith, we can begin to heal America.
