"Now, I am not a democrat, but this needs to be cleared up.
The Truth:
Senator Barack Obama has been a member of Chicago's Trinity Church of Christ since 1988.
As a result of Obama's candidacy for president, Trinity Church has come under scrutiny. Critics have accused the church of being racist. Supporters say the congregation is proudly black and with a strong linkage and commitment to its African roots. That's a matter of heritage, they say, not a lack of commitment to being Americans.
The "About Us" page at the church's web site says the church is "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain 'true to our native land,' the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."
There is no wording about a "non-negotiable commitment to Africa."
Because of its black emphasis, the church is overwhelmingly black but there is no requirement to be African-American for membership.
This is unbelievable to me! I received this from a friend and just thought this was another ~bash e-mail that is circulating aroundb UNTIL,I went to the web site mentioned and read for myself what is being proclaimed. I certainly hope eyes will be more opened by Americans not just for this candidate but to closely scrutinize all of them &and vote for what is best for America --- not an agenda!"
