Barack Obama’s Betrayal of the Black Church?

Follow Your Heart…

Tweet (Akiit.com) I received a rather rude email from a local minister who took umbrage with my failure to support Barack Obama for president.

Gays and the Black Church

Tweet (Akiit.com) The Reverend Dennis Meredith’s mouth had to drop when his head deacon brusquely accused him of turning the church into a “sissy church” and left in a huff.

Rappers Need To Call Off The War on Black America

Tweet Atlanta, GA (Akiit.com) – Black grand mothers have stayed on their knees praying and many parents died early worrying about their children. Black fathers faced violence, just trying to protect their daughters from thugs and a Black on Black hateful lifestyle. Where is respect for what Jesus died for in all of this? But […]
