I am proud and pleased that Dr. Smith is willing and able to speak the words, on the pulpit, that are resonating through the Brown Community in the USA. This is a difficult time for them. They are at the mercy of Governors such as Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder.
The minority communities in the country are members of a socio-economic dilemma that isn't solved in Michigan unless Dictator Snyder takes away their rights and divides their cities assets while selling them to the highest bidder.
Talk Radio is bigoted. It is proven by the very fact they are seeking to make a mockery of a distinguished pastor and well spoken critic of their oppressive agenda.
The words need to be said. The people within the community need to be validated and the understanding that their cities and schools are under seige is more than correct. They are under seige because Republican Governors don't know how to governor they only know how to control and victimize.
...In March, (click title to entry - thank you) Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder won approval of Public Act 4 (i.e., the Emergency Manager law), which permits him to declare that a city is in fiscal crisis and then to appoint an overseer with unlimited powers including the elimination of existing union contracts. Significantly, chief sponsors of Public Act 4 were State Rep. Al Pscholka, who was a former aide to Whirlpool heir U.S. Rep.

I hope everything turns out well for cities like Benton Harbor. I sincerely do. But, to realize this is an African American community experiencing these problems only highlights the 'ripple effect' of the Wall Street Bailout and how that 'trickled down' on the most vulnerable communities when they pocketed the money and turned their backs on the USA.
This is only one example. But, to realize "Talk Radio" is as insensitive as this to single out a distinguished pastor and harp on it because they believe it will give them political traction proves they hope to 'stir the political pot' with bigoted hatred of a community in profound distress of their circumstances.
I thank Dr. Smith for his words, his bravery and I wish I was at his sermon on Easter Sunday.
Where is the bailout for Benton Harbor, Governor Snyder?
