Rape Victim Abused A 2nd Time by Florida Judicial System?

by @ 2:59 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

Was she first abused in rape and again by a district attorney that won’t press for rape charges?

According to CNN, this girl really did just have her case for rape dumped by the DA.

I’m not God, He knows the truth, as does she and the person she’s accused. But I pray all parties involved including the DA come to know Jesus in truth and justice is served if this child was raped. She says there were MULTIPLE victims, which means if she’s telling the truth this might happen again to someone else.

America: Freedom to Fascism, A Movie Worth Viewing.

by @ 12:00 am. Filed under Questionable Items

This is one I’m sure many will take some issue with. I’m not posting about this to encourage anyone to do some of the things noted in the film. But I do want you to be informed and you can make of it as the Lord leads based on prayer and your study of the Word of God. I’m not trying to seek for anyone not to pay their taxes, Romans 13. I’m not trying to have you join the group promoted at the end of the film and YOU KNOW I’m not trying to promote Ron Paul. However the film by now deceased filmmaker Aaron Russo is very interesting.

It is on YouTube in 11 parts:

Being a secular film, of course it seeks answers in works of man and not in everlasting life through the Lord Jesus. It speaks of THE CHIP, which I suspect may well be THE MARK, but short of true faith on Christ, all alive when The Mark is given will accept it.

You know, there is real talk about putting RFID chips into our troops, our children and you too.

Revelation 13:6-18 (New American Standard Bible)

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
7 It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

God’s Word will be fulfilled, every jot!

The only names in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain and have been in that book since the foundation of the world, are saints who are saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you don’t know Jesus, you better start here and begin learning of him. Because only those who believe in Him will be saved. And there is no hope in any other, not even (non Christ believing) groups that are leery of RFID chips. In the end, the Lord will protect His own, which are the saints. And saints, you better keep a watchful eye.

Article Claims Hillary Rodham Clinton Fired for Constructing False Legal Brief During Watergate Investigation, to Cover for JFK! (*Updated*)

by @ 2:57 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

So far, there is just one source for the report and everybody is trying to figure out if it’s true, but reader of this blog SteelGator noted a most interesting read.

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

If this is true, Hillary might not even have a chance in 2012!

update 4/1/2008 3:06PM: No kidding, this is probably real! Check out the copy of a NY Post article posted on Free Republic back on 6/9/2003, Hillary Rodham’s 1974 Watergate “Procedures were Ethically Flawed”.

update 4/1/2008 3:14PM: Ed Klein: Hillary Clinton Covered Up for JFK (article dated July 15, 2005) This article says Hillary was “ordered” to do the deed.

update 4/1/2008 3:38PM: Clarification: The Klein article says Hillary was “ordered” to suppress information that exposed dirt JFK did, it does not say she was ordered to work up a false legal brief.

update 4/1/2008 4:19PM: Best to read all 3 articles in full. Each gives a different piece of things. Basically she was doing dirt and others working with her and even over her were also involved. She was found to be especially dirty though. It does not show her to be a woman of good integrity. Not the kind of person you’d want heading an entire branch of the Federal government.

Pulpit Pimps Disciplining One Another?

by @ 3:20 am. Filed under Questionable Items

A most interesting article:

Two evangelists lose clout on ORU’s board

Creflo Dollar resigned from the regents, and Benny Hinn is now a “regent emeritus” with no voting power.


The evangelist Creflo Dollar has resigned from the Oral Roberts University board of regents, and another evangelist, Benny Hinn, has lost his status as a voting mem ber of the board.

ORU’s spokesman Jeremy Burton confirmed Wednesday that Dollar had resigned and that Hinn had been named a “regent emeritus” without a vote on the board.

Both refused last week to respond to a Senate inquiry into lavish spending by evangelists.


The bylaws give Richard and Oral Roberts wide authority on all spiritual matters, including the right to veto decisions by business regents on such matters.

Richard Roberts resigned as ORU’s president Nov. 23 after three former professors filed a lawsuit. The suit alleges that Roberts and his family misspent university and ministry money and lived lavishly.

A Tulsa District Court judge is scheduled to hear several motions in the lawsuit Tuesday.

The university that supports false doctrines and has false teachers on their board of regents apparently disciplines the ones that don’t cooperate with government. I guess some standard is better than none at all. They also came down appropriately hard on Carlton Pearson when he took up the heresy of Universalism.

Is Pulpit Pimp Investigator US Senator Charles “Chuck” Grassley a Mitt Romney Fan?

by @ 12:13 am. Filed under Questionable Items

I’ll open this post by saying for those who don’t know, this blog is 100% ANTI-MITT ROMNEY. This blog is also 100% ANTI-PULPIT PIMPS.

So I’m having an interesting dilemma here. Because it seems that while I’ve been cautiously supportive of Senator Charles Grassley investigating pulpit pimps, he might be a Mitt Romney fan. All roads seem to indicate that he’s shown supportive signals for Romney, while avoiding any formal endorsement of any 2008 Presidential candidate.

Are these events coincidental? I’m not thinking they are. I fully respect Senator Grassley’s position as a member of our government, but this man who claims to be Baptist blowing favorable wind to flip-flopping Mormon Mitt Romney is not sitting well with me. It also makes one consider Grassley’s call to investigate the pimps. While the pimp vipers get no support from me, perhaps their being investigated might be a means to keep them from possibly tossing any weight behind any anti-Romney efforts? Given these investigations, they’ll probably all be low key on election matters. Just a speculative thought. I know the pimps have doctrine that reeks the aroma of what Mormons teach, but I can’t say all of them would have swung in Romney’s favor.

Both Romney and the Pulpit Pimps losing in their respective challenges would not be a bad thing, but this strange linkage of events does not look good.

You Pulpit Pimp Vipers Have Really Done it Now! Here Comes the Government. US Senator Chuck Grassley Investigates Pimps. Will it End in Good?

by @ 1:01 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

Reader Florida Writer informed me of this one and it’s a doozy! 6 Big time pimps in the Religious Industry are now under US Senate scrutiny. (Others sent messages about this, but Florida Writer was first.)

Without Walls Finances Face Senator’s Scrutiny

TAMPA - The ranking member of the Senate Committee on Finance has launched an investigative review of possible misuse of donations made to Without Walls International Church and Paula White Ministries, along with five other Christian organizations.

Letters were faxed Monday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, requesting ministry leaders respond by Dec. 6 to a wide range of questions regarding their personal and organizational finances. The senator expects full cooperation, he said in a statement released by his staff.


Grassley, former chairman of the finance committee, said his requests for information came in response to complaints from the public and news coverage about practices at the six ministries. The allegations involve governing boards that aren’t independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances for church leaders, and amenities such as private jets and Rolls-Royces.

“I don’t want to conclude that there’s a problem, but I have an obligation to donors and taxpayers to find out more,” he wrote. “People who donated should have their money spent as intended and in adherence with the tax code.”

Besides the Whites, letters went to Benny Hinn of World Healing Center Church of Grapevine, Texas; David and Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer Ministries of Fenton, Mo.; Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Newark, Texas; Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church of Lithonia, Ga., and Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International of College Park, Ga.

And if they don’t tell all, he predicted, Grassley could ask the IRS to step in.

If the churches don’t respond, or don’t respond in full, Grassley could push for a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee.

Other documents in the article:

Senator Chuck Grassley is a Baptist, so he’s not part of some non-Christian group. Still I’m sure some will claim this is an attack against the church. Pimps preach a false gospel, so rather than then being honest representatives of “the church”, the pimps actually are the ones who attack the body of Christ, they attack the church with false gospel.

As I’ve said before, I’m always slow to seek government intervention. I’ve only felt that their misdeeds regarding IRS scrutiny are worthy of government intrusion and it looks like that is the angle Senator Grassely is taking. Gathering information that would relate to abuses of IRS regulations.

But the fact the government is stepping up pressure could have one of 5 possible outcomes:

  1. These 6 pimps are taken down, other pimps do a little to straighten up in fear and that’s the end of it. But the games continue with slight adjustments.
  2. These 6 pimps get a slap on the wrist and all decent churches end up having to endure more scrutiny that costs them in time and effort.
  3. These 6 pimps get a slap on the wrist, other pimps do a little to straighten up in fear and that’s the end of it. The games continue with slight adjustments.
  4. This all plays out as a neat political game and ends with nothing changing at all.
  5. This all plays out as a neat political game and ends with the pimps making another self made voluntary oversight group, that leaves as many questions as groups like the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). See Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is an honorable organization?

The bottom line is that government can’t keep a bad corporation in line very well and we know the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has done little, but make more paperwork for corporations. There have been a few show-piece convictions since government went after bad corporations, but that’s about it. Overall everything is the same. I’m not saying US business is as bad as some business affairs in other nations, but little has changed. Don’t expect anything more with government going after pulpit pimps. I expect some combination of the 5 items I noted above, but in the end much won’t change. Unless government is so intrusive on churches that it hampers honest ministry efforts and even then the corruption won’t go away. It will simply change its style a bit.

Hopefully this won’t become an angle to persecute good churches in the future. No matter what government does, pimps will continue like the underground payola that goes on in radio even after government went after that.

Yes this might all go well and be a matter of an avenger of God taking action against evil, Romans 13:3-4. It’s just the history of these things does not make me feel all will go well. May the Lord’s will be done.

For church matters saints need to stand up and contend strongly for the faith. The more saints stand up, it will help real saints to get out from the influence of pimps. Leaving the vipers who work for Satan and those who are Satan’s children dancing together. Because money changing in the Lord’s name is noted in Acts 8:18-23 and even before that. So don’t expect it to go away till the Lord Jesus Christ returns for the church. Jesus died for the sheep, John 10:11. And He will return for His sheep. The pimps and others will burn, because they are NOT SHEEP. They are the goats, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 7:15-23, Revelation 20:10-15, Revelation 21:8. We need saints to speak out for the good of the sheep. The sheep will hear the Lord when he calls them to repentance in their own hearts. The goats will never hear, because God has allowed their ears to be covered, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12. They are not sheep and will never hear the Lord’s voice, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4. So regardless of what government does, saints must continue in the gospel for the good of the sheep. Spread the message around the world, for the sheep! Spread the truth and the sheep will hear it.

Ole Anthony was very much involved in seeking government intervention. And this gets Ole’s name out. Maybe he’ll be on TV speaking before Congress. But Ole Anthony is running a cult. And Ole’s influence can be seen in the list of pimps targeted. Notice that TD Jakes is one of the biggest lying pimps of all, but he is not one of the 6 mentioned. Certainly if you’re only going after 6, he would be one of the 6. Ole Anthony has made it known he’s kind of a fan of Jakes’ in some respects, so I doubt when Antony was pressuring Congress about pimps that he mentioned Jakes’ name much. And what about Joel Osteen? How come NOBODY EVER SEEMS TO LOOK INTO WHAT HE’S DOING WITH THE MONEY HE’S ROLLING IN? See TD Jakes and Joel Osteen Enrich Themselves in Jesus’ Name (Video). Not that the 6 listed don’t warrant scrutiny, but the 6 selected don’t include some of the BIGGEST PIMPS taking in the most of all and possibly abusing the most.

So my feelings about all of this are obviously mixed. I feel we need more saints spreading the truth to help the sheep, because government can’t save a soul and government can’t tell anyone the truth of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. To me, this changes nothing for what Christ has called saints to do and we should not sit back thinking government can do what the Lord called the church to do. Obviously God uses government for some things at times and they will play their role, but saints must continue to CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, Jude 1:3.

Reuben Armstrong Does a Flip-Flop and Sues Streaming-no-Faith. Previously He Said it was “Best” for the “Business Relationship” to “End”.

by @ 11:09 am. Filed under Questionable Items

Gotta be honest, many of us were suspecting although not saying it loudly, that Mr. Armstrong might be a little bit of a sensationalist. A bit into getting his name out there. Although I want saints to be aware of pulpit pimps, it seems Mr. Armstrong is hurting the integrity of his own efforts.

If you recall in this previous post I included a mailing from Armstrong, where he said the following about being dumped from Streaming-no-faith.


Armstrong said that the conversation went well with both parties. Streaming Faith and Armstrong were able to make a mutual agreement: Since Streaming Faith is a religious based business and most of the ministries that are on Streaming Faith are defrauding and deceiving believers and non-believers, it would best that their business relationship ends. Armstrong wants to thank Streaming Faith for their support and understanding and all of his viewers that watched the show.

You would think he was thanking God he would be separated from the wolves.

Now he has gone from feeling the separation from Streaming-no-Faith was a good idea and mutual agreement, to filing a lawsuit. I just got a mailing from Armstrong which notes the following:

National Talk Show host Reuben Armstrong files multi million dollar law suit against Streaming Faith for Racial Discrimination and Breach of Contract

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQGChHNxRE

(Dallas, TX) August 27th 2007 The Reuben Armstrong Show was dumped by Streaming Faith at the beginning of August 2007 because of a controversial book, Snakes in the Pulpit. The book exposes the alleged lies and deception of four megapastors, Bishop Eddie Long, TD Jakes, Joel Osteen and Creflo Dollar. Armstrong and his Attorney will be filing a multi million dollar law suit against Streaming Faith and its parent company Multicast Media Technologies.

According to a press conference that was held Armstrong said “Streaming Faith had no reasons to dump my show because of a book that exposes these so- called men of God. The contract clearly states that either party must give a 90 day written cancellation notice, and Streaming Faith failed to abide by their own contact.” Armstrong also went on to mention that he felt as though he was discriminated against because of his race.

Armstrong who is the author of Snakes in the Pulpit said “the book was due to be released August 29th 2007, but due to the concerns I am having with Streaming Faith, I have decided to postpone the release date to September 18th 2007. This decision is not one that I entered into lightly; I am deeply upset and disappointed by it.”

Armstrong said “these four pastors Bishop TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, Eddie Long and Creflo Dollar are twisting scriptures and taking them out of context for fame and fortune and they will be exposed.”

When asking Armstrong about Juanita Bynum he responded and said “I pray that the pimptress, Mrs. Bynum-Weeks, is doing well, but I have to admit that this comes as no surprise to me. When you are playing with God’s people, you need to understand that you are walking a thin line.”

Armstrong book which was schedule to be release August 29th has been rescheduled to September 18th 2007. All Books can be pre-ordered on www.snakesinthepulpit.com

What happened to feeling the separation was for the best?

I can only say that I pray Armstrong reconsiders and takes the more saintly approach:

Matthew 5:43-48 (New King James Version)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

If Reuben Armstrong had never said what he stated in his previous press release, I probably would have never made this post, or if I made this post it might be slightly more supportive of Armstrong. However, not only is Armstrong taking the road that is less saintly, his actions conflict with his own previous words.

I’m removing myself from his mailing list, so this will probably be my last post about Reuben Armstrong unless something changes.

I considered going to Armstrong in private about this and not making a post, but honestly since this is all playing out in public and there is really a play for book sales involved, I felt it best to speak openly. If you feel I’m wrong in my approach, please let me know. I never wanted to have to post this, but you need to know the truth and he’s been open about his actions, so I don’t feel bad commenting in the open about them.

Allegations of Non-Christian Leadership and Discrimination Against Christians at Streaming-no-faith (aka StreamingFaith.com)

by @ 2:47 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

Well this is just an interesting press release.

Streaming Faith Faces Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit

ATLANTA, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Streaming Faith and its parent company Multicast Media Technologies, faces a multi-million dollar lawsuit from one of its founders. Rodney Sampson, a founder and shareholder of the company, filed papers with the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, against the Christian media giant, for his wrongful and unlawful termination as CEO of Streaming Faith, and the attempt of its key executives to void his ownership in the company.

In an affidavit filed with the courts, Sampson alleges that he founded Streaming Faith in 2000, with Louis Schwartz, Rory Conaway, and Ronald Rice. The document reveals that each were equal partners of the corporation, originally incorporated under the name Haywire Ventures, Inc., and that each held 2.9 million shares of stock in the company. Sampson maintains that he researched, developed and created the faith based technology concept and model the company uses today, and that it was all his original ideas and intellectual properties. In his complaint, Sampson states that the company, which purports to be a Christian owned company, is in fact a non-Christian entity, managed and directed by non-Christian personnel; who have discriminated against him (an African American) and other Christians, during his tenure with the company.

The affidavit further states that in 2002, Sampson confronted Schwartz and Rice about behind the scene negotiations with a company intending to market pornographic content via the internet to the adult entertainment industry; utilizing the company’s technology. Sampson says after that meeting, the pair (Schwartz and Rice), began to aggressively pursue efforts to oust him, maliciously attacking his name, defaming his character and reputation; ultimately costing him other job offers and business opportunities. Sampson, who claims to be a founder of the organization, and its former Chief Operating Officer, is seeking an undisclosed amount of damages, in addition to pursuing other civil remedies against Schwartz and Rice individually, and another senior executive, Mr. Chance Mason. Streaming Faith is known to broadcast and distribute (via the internet), renowned Christian leaders such as: Eddie Long; TD Jakes; Mike Murdock; Paula White; Fred Price; Myles Munroe; Keith Butler; Charles Blake; Floyd Flake; Jamal Bryant; Morris Cerrullo; Jentzen Franklin; Kenneth Ulmer; I.V. Hilliard; Richard Roberts and Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Paul & Jan Crouch.

Just interesting. I don’t use the site given it’s fully pimp infested. Maybe this is true and part of the problem?

Was Martin Luther King Junior a Christian?

by @ 4:13 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

It’s a question I don’t think is as easy to answer as some might think. Heal The Land With Spiritual Warfare has some questions about King’s past. I must say, if MLK, Jr. continued to not believe in the virgin birth, resurrection and Lordship of Jesus Christ he definitely was not saved. Regardless of how many things he did in the authentic Civil Rights Movement. (Never to be confused with today’s fake Civil Rights Industry.) The fact he did not have a firm foundation in Jesus Christ early on is well documented. We know about the adultery and that he kept close associates who denied the Lord. Some note that he did seem to draw closer to Jesus in some ways later in life, but we don’t really have conclusive proof one way or the other in my opinion.

I say the Lord only knows, but if we can admit the founding fathers owned slaves, we can admit Martin Luther King Jr. did not walk as Christian a life as we might hope he did.

Salvation comes via faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone. There is no single or multitude of earthly deeds that can save a man’s soul. As we know, a thief who earned physical death resides in Heaven today because of his own faith in Jesus Christ.

Luke 23:39-43 (New King James Version)

39) Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

40) But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

41) And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”

42) Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

43) And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Only those with faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone as your only means for salvation will ever join Him in Paradise.

Do Blacks Have Self-Control?

by @ 12:47 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

Being a Black man, I know we are capable of displaying self control. I’m not some special model off God’s assembly line of Black people. La Shawn Barber has an interesting post up today. And it’s one of few I disagree with her on. Read that and then you can continue reading here.

Talk of Blacks not being able to maintain calm is a continually trumped farce. When I was a student at Morgan State and the choir, which is “one of the nation’s most prestigious university choral ensembles” would sing, we were instructed to remain quite till the end. No matter how good they were doing. And everyone was able to do so when requested. Everybody, of every race has moments when they want to blurt out things in public, but the key is self control.

I feel that Tavis Smelly Smiley basically said “Blacks have no self control and I’ve always thought less of them, so I never asked them to show some common decency”. Of course if Tavis were White and said:

Because black people are an emotional people. I know it wouldn’t have worked.

When asked why he did not enact a “no applause” rule at a Presidential debate, that would be racist. And every honest reader of these words knows it would have been treated as such. All powers within the Civil Rights Industry, including Tavis would have risen up to denounce it, if Don Imus dared to utter such words in any of his recent interviews.

At least the Blacks who claim to be Christians should start working towards the following goals:

Galatians 5:22-23 (New King James Version)

22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Maybe more Blacks need to show a little more self control? And maybe a better display of self control will help avoid temptation?

2 Peter 1:5-9 (New King James Version)

5) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

6) to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

7) to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

8) For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9) For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

The fact many Christians allow self control to go out of the window, especially in church assemblies is why many are so easily duped. The fact anyone can look at Blacks having tirades of emotion and claim it’s like “church” (a church assembly of mostly Blacks), shows that maybe Blacks are not focusing on the right things in an assembly in the first place? The catering to flesh and emotion is what the pulpit pimp thrives on.


update 7/2/2007 1:05PM:
La Shawn has added the following to her post:

Addendum: You have to clarify everything around here. I’m not saying that blacks can’t or shouldn’t be expected to control themselves. I was agreeing with Smiley’s “blacks are emotional” statement with a twist: that blacks tend to be less restrained in showing emotions. Nothing more, nothing less.


We honestly are not going to agree on this one. My response to her is this:

I know what you are saying. I also know actions like that from Tavis cater to low expectations. I don’t think we should embrace it.

It’s sad when there is a Presidential debate on a (historically) Black college campus, people are asked to remain quite and fail to do so. It’s even worse when we simply cater to the lowest emotional denominator and allow the outbursts without any effort to curb them.
