[...] Posted by healtheland on April 12th, 2007 TBN moneychanging take one. TBN moneychanging take two. TD Jakes marching to the beat of the Al Sharpton “Fire Don Imus Parade” take three. Now as to why I am criticizing Jakes for demanding Imus’ firing? 1) Because Jakes has taken a beating from the black community and black leaders (like Sharpton) for his closeness to George Bush and for his general conservatism, and this is his attempt to silence the critics and broaden his appeal among blacks and the left. (The Council On Foreign Relations, to whom Jakes has, er, ties, LOVES people with broad appeal like RICK WARREN, OPRAH WINFREY, and ANGELINA JOLIE.) Now, you’d THINK that black Christians would oppose Jakes over HIS OPPOSITION TO TRINITY, but let us just pray on that one, shall we? 2) Because Jakes HAS to be smart enough to know that the media’s going after Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, and Don Imus (three scalps in less than a year, when previously the “Jimmy The Greek” type of things only took place one in awhile) is just laying the groundwork for their being able to go after CHRISTIANS in a few years. Denounce homosexuality, abortion, or false religions? Not only will you get the Imus treatment, but if you do it in a public area and your accuser can claim to be “threatened” or “intimidated” by your words (or “demeanor”) THEY WILL HAUL YOU OFF TO JAIL! Canada and Great Britain have already fined and chased from the airwaves televangelists for “offending” homosexuals and Muslims. Jakes is contributing to what will lead to the same happening over here. And you know what? I bet Jakes knows it. Think that I am tilting at windmills? Think again: In 2004, Christians were arrested on “hate crimes charges” for trying to evangelize homosexuals in Philadelphia! Oh yes, and I do not want to hear from any of you people accusing me of defending Imus. Racism is a sin, and speaking as he does against people (including his blatant disrespect of Bill Clinton while in his presence in 1996) is a sin. We know how to deal with racists: with the gospel and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Instead, this is all about spiritual warfare, folks: exposing people who are using the pulpit to seek money and power. That is how the TBN moneychanging (which Jakes does on a regular basis) correlates to Jakes’ joining the civil rights industry: it is all about the money and power! Just like they get on TBN and play on your emotions concerning your health and financial security, these folks are exploiting black people who have been hurt by racist words and actions. But do not be deceived: it isn’t about you and your needs, people. God (who exists in TRIUNE FORM, TD Jakes!) cares about that and is the only one who can comfort and deliver you concerning those things. But as for these “preachers”? Please dedicate your money, time, and allegiance elsewhere (as in to God alone). [...]

Well you know, a host of Black children imitate Imus and the fact Imus used the word “ho” resulted in those poor children now having a twisted view of women .

Of course if you replace the word “Imus” with “rappers” and remove the smilies, it becomes a factual and very sad statement.

But they run to remove Imus…

We know Black people are the main inhibitors of their own success and even people who made the trash sometimes admit it played a role in messing them up.

The big picture is the need for CONSISTENT STANDARDS.

If Don Imus, having been evaluated by standards that were applied across the board – was deemed to be out of line and given the boot – I would be the first one applauding.

As a person who for years has posted details about “Sambo Lyrics” delivered by people who seem to hate Black women and they go unchecked or ME be the recipient of an attack for highlighting the information – I find it a bit frustrating to see the same crowd who in response to these continued offense have offered to “reach out to the Hip Hop Artists” because they are important messengers – it is a but frustrating for me.

The bottom line is that the BLACK COMMUNITY has allowed certain people to speak for us. There needs to be an alternate pace setter who can promote a different set of values that are enforced WITHIN.
