Here is the comment I made on P.I.M.P.'s blog
that brought about this entire nastiness.
tell me what is racist about it?
He touted family values, so I asked him what he was doing to promote such where it was needed.
HERE IT IS: comment 1
back to family values
what are you doing to help a 14 year old girl in the inner city keep from becoming pregnant
and what are you doing to help teach these young boys who think that having sex with girls is the macho thing to do -- is the wrong attitude.
what are you doing to show them that partying is not really having a good time or that they should walk away from confrontations.
I've known personally some who have been shot to death, some who have decided to fight instead of walking away ("it's not 'manly' to walk away -- you have to do something") and have had a few cuts, etc. from it.
you, who should be a person to whom these young people look to for guidance, what have you done to guide these young people?

HERE IS comment 2:
what's interesting is that you are black and you will speak in the same generalities as biased whites do.
most blacks do not agree with you on many issues.
and there are blacks who are homosexual and wish to marry
I have known a black homosexual in a profession that would disallow his sexual persuasion.
There are blacks who get abortions.
I am interested in knowing the black community you yourself are in contact with.
those I have known (hundreds, maybe a thousand or so) -- have a wide spectrum of thought, opinion and belief, from not much at all to strongly Democratic and liberal.
In fact, I know more liberal Blacks than I do conservatives (trying to think of one black i know who is conservative -- can't)
just because you are Black, just like just because Jesse Jackson is Black, does not mean you speak for all Blacks.
but Jesse Jackson does preach responsibility.
I'll have to return to your post to see if you have preached so.

I have had church people come to my door and tell me that before. Because apparently, there is only one truth, no interpretation allowed, and that church knows it. Strange. I attended that particular denomination church for 20-years. You would think I would have already accepted their "truth" if I intended to by then.

I just found out
That he might not be able to read. Or at least not in the way we do. he told me I should not read the Bible on my own, but instead go to a church so that they can tell me what it says. I am figuring that this means the words in the translation we have of the Bible is not really english after all. And if this is the way he reads things, then english must not be what he really reads. It seems a little confusing and I have not really figured out how it works, but that was the only conclusion I could come to.

He won't read your posts.
He claims to have spoken at Boys Town and now wants to write his autobiography or some such...he is a nut, West. And he won't ever acknowledge your work in the urban black community. I've seen that before. Sometimes the people crying "racist" are the real racists.
