Truth.

I just read the most beautiful speech Obama spoke on the Christian Church, the Black community, and homosexuals.
I could barely make it through, I was crying so much. I feel this speech 100% in my bones. I truely believe that Obama is going to give us some freedom we need.
Maybe not all the way, but it'll be progression. This is a start to change. Believe it.

Love is a Two-Way streak;


"At the end of the day, all of the maladies in the black community are rooted in damaged belief systems, and the immoral choices that are the natural result of those beliefs. Blacks have caught hell from the immoral choices of the white establishment. Blacks are adding gasoline to our own hell by making immoral choices in response to our situation. It really does not matter how many protests black people make, or how many programs that we implement. No political revolution is going to knit the hearts of black people together, and no book, mantra, club, can re-form the nucleus of the black family.
What Black America needs is a revolution of the heart. A change in the prevailing thinking of blacks. A change in the prevailing thinking of whites.
The real purpose of the Christian church is to assist those who seek that revolution of the heart. The church was never intended to become a social club for the so-called ‘righteous’. It is to provide a clear pathway for those who are on a journey seeking the Truth, and to protect those who are on ALL LEVELS of that journey.
Jesus spent most of His time with social outcasts. Unlike some Christians today, He showed tremendous love to prostitutes, tax collectors, and Samaritans. Jesus said, ‘I did not come for those who are well, but for those who are sick’. The problem is, we all think that we are the healthy ones, and everyone else is sick. The reality is, we are all sick. We believe sick things about ourselves, and each other. We behave in sick ways toward each other.
There is a HUGE difference between the ecumenical Church (otherwise known as the ‘Body of Christ’) and the organized church (who are those who physically meet up and sing praises together on Sunday). The ecumenical church consists of those people who have made a profound decision to embrace the unconditional love of God, and to transform their belief systems and behaviors to mirror the creative, loving power of God. You can belong to one church without belonging to the other.
That being said, there is no organization that gives more to the poor, cares more for the sick, feeds more of the hungry, and clothes more of the naked, than the organized Christian church. The church mans thousands of half-way houses, shelters, and homes and asks for nothing in return. I have never seen one homosexual turned away at a soup kitchen. I was there in the 1990’s when the black church took in thousands of gay men who were suffering and dying from AIDS, when their own physicians refused to touch them. I was there and saw black grandmothers who couldn’t even say the word ‘homosexual’ out loud — pray for and hold dying men in their arms and love them into eating the food they personally prepared for them. I now see these same black, praying grandmothers being demonized and reviled by the same people who they helped to raise.
Love is a TWO WAY STREET.
I apologize to anyone who has been harmed by the organized church. We are all broken vessels, needing to further the grace and mercy of our Creator."

“I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in the hospital and to live lives free of discrimination,”
-Our 44th President, Barack Obama

This is truth. 100% truth.
