In the above video it seems to me that Rev. Otis Moss  is making the case that just because President Barack Obama (BO) supports gay marriage does not mean we should not support BO in the upcoming election. Let me state right here I plan to support BO. However, I and many other people of African descent have a problem with BO’s support for gay marriage. Many base their lack of support on the Bible I'm more inclined to base my disagreement because of the law of nature. Meaning marriage is the vehicle used to produce children which sustains humanity. If one takes gay marriage to its ultimate limit, meaning it is the only relationship, then humanity becomes extinct. I know there are all kinds of nuances that can be raised here, and I know the nuances will be raised, but I am talking about a mathematical model that takes the variable to its farthest limit. Those who understand upper levels of math will understand what I just said. Now the question becomes did Martin King, James Orange, Fannie lou Hammer, Black Panthers, Mark Clark, Emmett Till and the list goes on, die so we could elect a president of African descent to make a decision to support a relationship which if taken to its ultimate limit will annihilate humanity?  Just because he is of African descent as are we, should we just support him no matter what decisions he makes? Did Malcolm, Martin and Medgar give their lives so a person of African descent could try to lead us to accept a relationship that will the production of babies impossible? I’m just asking?

In fact I ask the same question about Andre Carson. I am sure Andre is going to come out publicly and also support gay marriage. I am not aware of him already having done so, but I bet you his positive position for gay marriage is not far from announcement. Just look at him hanging out having fun at the Gay Pride Parade!! That announcement is forthcoming but his vote to allow the military to arrest civilians without charge, trial, or conviction has already been cast. Plus if the military arrests a citizen they are not obligated to tell anyone when the arrest took place nor is the military obligated to tell where the person arrested is detained!! This flies into the face of the 4^th amendment right under the U.S. Constitution. Did our civil rights leaders die so we could elect officials to vote to take away the rights died for??

Andre sponsored legislation to starve innocent men, women and children to death. These dead people are people of African descent. Is Starving our people by people who benefit from the lives of Martin, Malcolm and Medgar Evers the reason why these civil rights legends and others died?? Did our freedom loving ancestor give their lives so our elected officials of African descent could vote to starve our babies? Do not you hear the cry of the babies?? Enough already!!

The question is what is the deal breaker? 

Look at this view of the Darlington courthouse and the sycamore tree where Amy Spain, was hung by the citizens of Darlington, south Carolina. Just because she wanted freedom. Do you think she died knowing that Andre would support gay marriage, sponsor legislation to starve children of African descent and also vote to erode us being safe in our person from the government. I ask you to reflect. Is this why Amy died? It cost her life so that we could be as free as we are. Are you trying to convince me she died so elected officials of African descent could come out in support of gays being able to marry? Put your thinking hat on. Of any of the reason she died can you even begin to fathom she died for the institution of gay marriage? I'm just saying!! Are you buckled up? I know the ride is ruff. But somebody has got to say something different that what Rev. Otis Moss is saying. The connection being made between the lives given in the civil rights struggle and us supporting elected officials just because they are of African descent is weak critirea for our continued support. I am all for supporting our own. In fact we must support our own. However we must hold them accountable. We can't support them when they do things that are not in our interest. Andre sponsoring legislation to starve black babies is not in our interests. Andre voting for legislation that allows us to be detained without due process is not in our, or any other citizens interest. Our support can't be support for anything elected officials do just because they are of African descent. The support must be based on more in addition to our common racial orign.  

Harriet said she could have freed more of us if we only knew we were enslaved. People of African descent must not let elected people of African descent takes us away from our freedom. Supporting black elected officials who erode our freedom is not worth it. It is just not!!

I am all for supporting our people. You know I am a race first man. But when the people of African descent that we support actually make decisions that cost us our lives are those politicians worthy of our continued support? What is the deal breaker? When do we say enough? Enough for you may be different than enough for others, but do you have a point where there is enough already of accepting deadly behavior just because the elected person is of African descent, or the grandson of an icon in our community?

I am here to tell you that Julia’s legacy can only take Andre so far. I think he is gone as far as he needs to go. He is in over his head. Truly I love him but I can’t support his deadly decisions. And there is more!! I think this gay marriage dialogue is a diversion to keep our minds off the economy collapsing, Iran, along with North Korea getting close to having nuclear weapons, U.S. policy to detain its citizens if the country goes to war and we protest the war, etc. It is much too important for us to go for the diversion. No!! I am not a supporter of gay marriage or the gay lifestyle. However I understand that who a person is bumbing booties with is really small beans compared to Andre voting to erode our 4th amendment right to not be subjected to an unnecessary search and seizure!! I am unbought, unbossed and unafraid to raise the issues on which we need to do serious reflection. Gay marriage is the okey doke. I am not going for the okey doke. I will not be fooled and am sounding the alarm so you also will not be had, taken, bamboozled. Noooooo we must stay conscious of what is really happening. I will never vote to starve our babies, nor vote to take away the rights our glorious civil rights leaders died for, nor support gay marriage. I am not afraid to be me. I am running as an Independent for the 7^th Congressional District of Indiana. If you want someone who will stand up and tell the truth then you want me. Victory is at hand. YOU READY??
