Rev. Dr. William Barber, Clergy Condemn Amendment One: VIDEO
A must-watch speech from Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, the head of the North Carolina NAACP, who has been an outspoken opponent of Amendment One for months, condemning the measure yesterday at a press conference of clergy assembled from around the state.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Someone asked me a question... "Is this the work of Satan in disguise or is this the work of God? Well, my answer resides in my ability to identify the character of Satan and God. God is love & Satan is of Hate. Ain't no love in the act of discriminating. The hearts of God's strong soldiers understands that their duty in life includes what it is they are hearing and seeing in this video. All who sees this video are witnessing a sample of a great evolutionary change evolving in the heart-land of America and all around the entire world. The question of genealogy shouldn't ever be the political or religious focus. At least that's what the Word of God speaks against. (see also the Holy Bible/1Tim.1:1-4,5-17;Roman3:19-31) Therefore, Rev. Williams' speech is reasonable for all to consider. The right question isn't being asked of the citizens on the ballet sheets ... Therefore, the right answer/vote can't be given. Let's stop the Hate PPL! A good book which explains this in clear biblical details is called Discerning Perceptive; written by Sister Glory Sanders Thompson. NOTE: God isn't making no room in Heaven for HATERS who DESPISES MEN so vote against discrimination.

As an African American woman, this speech left me with the same feeling that I had when MLK made his speech in Washington so many many years ago. BRAVO for non ignorant African Americans who don't follow every word and command of their so called pastors who preach HATE over Jesus' command of LOVE; and thus are being led by those who have been bought off by right wing RELIGIOUS leaders who know nothing about LOVE SPIRITUALITY and TRUTH! Rev. Dr. Barber just put himself on the national map; and has more courage than President Obama present "spoken" position on this issue.

Totally agree with his position. The whole point of having rights is to protect people from the whims of majorities. Mob rule is not democracy.
Apart from that, it is great to see a public speaker who is a great orator. Too many of our public figures are inarticulate and boring, or can only repeat the scripted message over and over and over, no matter what question is asked.
