BIBLICAL BLACKS SIZING UP REPUBLICAN PARTY
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
According to Brian DeBose of The Washington Times, young African-Americans are sizing up the Republican Party more and more since the November election.
There are those blacks who are young enough not to recall detail concerning the civil rights movement. Further, Jesse Jackson has no allurement for them. Al Sharpton has less appeal. They are in search of their own movement. And those who are genuinely Christian are seeking out a political alliance that is attuned to their church-grounded biblical values.
In other words, these American blacks are looking for the party that espouses Christian convictions. That would mean they are not that endeared by the Democratic Party with its endorsement of abortion, euthanasia, feminism, relativism in ethics, secularism as the New Religion, and the legitimacy of homosexual lifestyles.
American black believers will not permit them to become a part of the Democratic agenda that basically is a killing agenda: killing off biblical ethics, killing off the traditional family, killing off masculinity, killing off defending womb babies, killing off religion in the marketplace, killing off America’s heritage, and killing off decency.
"’The younger African-Americans who really are not familiar with the Civil Rights Movement, those 35 and under, who are clueless about the pressures and violence that took place are looking for something totally different,’ said Vivian Berryhill, a Republican and founder of the National Coalition of Pastors' Spouses.
Realizing that Christian American blacks are loyal, not only to their own biblical understanding of values but their pastors’ spiritual guidance, Berryhill is organizing congregations for input to the Republican Party just because of that party’s values position. She is starting with the pastors’ wives, recognizing the leverage they have at the local level. From that local milieu, the National Coalition of Pastors’ Spouses will push to make their agenda nation-spread.
"’The challenge is how will the Democratic Party be able to maintain an African-American base for whom the civil rights mantra of "we shall overcome" doesn't even resonate,’ she said.
"She said young blacks are largely college educated or entrepreneurs interested in homeownership and lower taxes, and that the Republican ownership society message is ‘tickling’ their ears."
Essentially, because of the United States President George W. Bush not waffling on biblical ethics, believing American blacks acknowledge their admiration for such convictions. They, like their white evangelical companions, are realizing more and more that the Judeo-Christian ethic is under severe attack by such Democratic blacks as the Reverend Al Sharpton.
More and more the biblical, conservative American blacks understand Sharpton, for instance, to be "Christian pastor" in name only. He claims to be a Christian minister while undercutting biblical morality. He supports killing womb babies, for instance, that being a major block to his being aligned with scriptural ethics. His defense of homosexual lifestyles also exposes his hypocrisy as a "Christian minister."
The American black believers are not ignorant of the Sharpton charade. The same for Jesse Jackson, that is, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. These left-wing political and theological liberals just don’t hack it with the biblical American black voter.
"’Therein is where there is concern because the Al Sharptons and Donna Braziles and Jesse Jacksons are from the old school and they need a new message for younger blacks,’ Mrs. Berryhill said.
"The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a prominent conservative talk-show host, said Democrats do fear the growing number of conservative black ministers speaking out in favor of Republicans.
"’Without a doubt, the Democrats are in fear of conservative black ministers because a lot of the time the congregation will follow their pastor,’ Mr. Peterson said in an interview.
"’Some of them are moving more conservative because of the social issues, and some for the faith-based funding, but regardless, if black folks move away from the Democratic Party then they will never win another election.’"
