| Rev. James Meeks |
By Mike Tobin, Apr. 7, 2014, Fox News
The choir sang hallelujah as the congregation of 15,000
clapped and sang along. Reverend James Meeks ratcheted up the intensity of his
speech. “Man looks at the outside,” he shouted rearing his head back. “But God
looks at your heart! Are you with me here?”
Judging by the response, Meeks had the faithful at Salem
Baptist Church hanging on his every word.“One hundred percent with Reverend
Meeks,” said parishioner Eugene Harris outside the mega-church on Chicago’s
fiercely Democratic South Side.
Meeks is careful not to preach politics from the pulpit.
That doesn’t mean he does not have a political side. This former state senator
is active as a leader in Chicago’s African-American community and also has
considerable political clout.
This gubernatorial election he is not throwing that clout behind
the Democrat, incumbent Governor Pat Quinn. Instead, Meeks is lining up behind
Bruce Rauner, the wealthy Republican businessman from Chicago’s
predominantly-white North Shore.
“The Democratic party just assume always that 97 percent of
the African-American vote will go to the Democratic party. If that assumption
is true, they never have to work for our vote,” Meeks said.

It is so sad to watch the Black Man stamp the chains of slavery onto his own legs as he follow the song of the Democrat Party.
ReplyDeleteA Party that has in its best interest to keep the Black Person in a state of poverty and resentment. Without the poor masses, the party would all but fold. The Democrat Party is schooled and very capable of painting an image of the Republican part where most Blacks know nothing about the real Party being pained. Look at history,which party really abused he Black Man, today they just more slick, If the Black masses voted Republican, then in a few years more economic freedom would come to the Black population. With the professional "Dem" machine at work the poor of our nation generation after generation pull the "Dem" lever and vote for more years of the same. Why do you think the Party does not want school vouchers, they need the poor to remain under educated, without the poor vote the Party would all but fade away.Why do you think they open flood gate from Mexico, not to help the Black job seeker for sure, it is only to boost the Democratic voting rolls with grateful people who will ride the Democratic Poverty Train for "they hope" generations, another group to be used like cheep tools.
