I attend Friendship West, and have been out of town since this came out. I feel for Pastor Haynes, he looks up to, and is close to Jeremiah Wright. I hope the church will be able to kind of stay out of the spotlight as this goes on. Fortunately, there are bigger stories in the news, so this should be glazed over as we get closer to the election.

I’ve only seen this woman in person once, and it wasn’t at church, but I’m sorry, I don’t think she’s black. Possibly Latina, but she has a drop of something in her blood…

thank you and God bless….

I’m going to hold out for my strong black nubian king until God calls me home…..I stay talking trash but I won’t jump the fence at least not intentionally

I have faith that there are good black men out there because for one I was raised by one and my brothers,uncles, cousins, and church family are great examples of them.

I can recall back in the day when I was a little girl the black men of the community were much more respectful of their women, yes men cheated but they at least made a better effort to keep it hidden from home and would dare a chick to violate their wife (not that they were in the right anyhow) but it was about family

I can recall men giving me genuine compliments that had to do with the complexion of my skin (I”m a hershey sister) and would compliment me on my intelligence and tell me that when I grew up that I would make my parents proud, so my early experiences with black men was very positive & all about genuine love….not the heated and vile debate that takes place on this blog between brothas and sistas

Not all the brothas are like the ones myself and smdh describe but too many men and women condone the behavior of those men but are quick to judge and criticize black women for their shortcomings-we all have a long way to go but to me -the black woman is the most common denominator in our community we are strong and nurturing and I am going to continue to put my best foot forward and demand my sisters and brothers to do the same, and hopefully somewhere along the way I will meet that strong black brother that I can join & continue fighting to make our community a better place as a “strong black family unit”

and just because I love my race doesn’t mean I hate the others-it’s about self-preservation we are in a crisis and my skills and energy would be of better use to my own at this moment, because we need it the most.

DDDaaaammmmnnnn!!! That’s explosive. I wonder how long Repulicans are going to stand behind this trailer park chick. Her family is straight ghetto.

The Enquirer’s team of reporters has combed the Alaskan wilderness to discover the hidden truth about Gov. Palin’s family, which has become a central part of political identity.

The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Sarah’s oldest son, Track, was addicted to the power drug OxyContin for nearly the past two years, snorting it, eating it, smoking it and even injecting it. And as Track, 19, heads to Iraq as part of the U.S. armed forces, Sarah and her husband Todd were powerless to stop his wild antics, detailed in the new issue of The ENQUIRER, which goes on sale today.

THE ENQUIRER also has exclusive details about Track’s use of other drugs, including cocaine, and his involvement in a notorious local vandalism incident.

“I’ve partied with him (Track) for years,” a source disclosed. “I’ve seen him snort cocaine, snort and smoke OxyContin, drink booze and smoke weed.”

The source also divulged the girls would do anything for Track and he’d use his local celebrity to manipulate other guys “to get them to steal things he wanted.”

“He finally did what a lot of troubled kids here do,” the source divulged. “You join the military.”

And as Gov. Palin has billed the state of Alaska for various expenses related to her children, as reported by The Washington Post, The ENQUIRER’s investigation reveals that she was so incensed by 17-year-old Bristol’s pregnancy that she banished her daughter from the house.

Another family friend revealed pre-prego Bristol was as much of a hard partier as Track was.

“Bristol was a huge stoner and drinker. I’ve seen her smoke pot and get drunk and make out with so many guys. All the guys would brag that the just made out with Bristol.”

When Sarah found out the teen was pregnant by high schooler Levi Johnston, she was actually banished from the house. As part of the cover-up, Palin quickly transferred Bristol to another high school and made her move in with Sarah’s sister Heather 25 miles away!

And the ENQUIRER also learned that Levi Johnston, the baby mamma’s future wedded dada, who was glad handed by John McCain at the GOP Convention, isn’t too happy about his impending shotgun nups either.

“Levi got dragged out of the house to go to Minnesota,” Levi’s friend told The ENQUIRER. “Levi realizes he’s stuck being with Bristol because her mom is running for Vice President.”

The friend also confided that both Bristol and Levi “broke up a few times and they definitely messed around with other people.”

Meanwhile, as members of the Palin family’s war viciously over “Trooper-Gate” and claims of Sarah’s extramarital affair have turned the political race into a chaotic arena of threats, denials and vicious attacks by political black ops, The ENQUIRER has discovered shocking new details about the red-hot affair scandal!
