The Trump administration wasted no time in enforcing other religious freedoms by reversing many of Obama policies which challenge Christian beliefs. This epidemic can’t be ignored and we can’t deny the results of a culture that promotes sex and homosexuality as things that are publicly glorified. Despite being only 12% of the population, blacks make up 43% of those infected with HIV in America. The CDC recently reported that 50% of black gay men will contract HIV, which is scary given the growing gay lifestyle promotion as a result of the Pride movement. Now homosexuality is on super speed in the black community where you see a surge in gay black males particularly in urban communities like Atlanta, LA, and throughout the south. I just think we could have given all Americans their deserved equal rights without challenging the biblical definition of marriage. Obama stuck to his commitment to the LGBTQ community when he backed unprecedented legislation that expanded the sacred biblical “marriage” characterization to gay and transgender couples. I was just a little bothered by his policies, which too often went against the word of God. I applaud President Obama for openly saying Jesus and quoting powerful scripture on many occasions. The debate is still out there as to whether the Obama years brought the country farther from our Christian foundation. I’m sure both were important issues to him at some level, but in politics you have to prioritize as all presidents know they are on a short timeline. I’m all for equal rights for gays and lesbians, but I think the large campaign donations hypnotized Obama to prioritize gay marriage over bringing quality education and criminal justice reform to the ancestors of our ailing former slave population. Remember it was sold as a plan which would not increase your healthcare bill or limit your access. Obamacare was a noble effort, but the blatant lies told in order to pass it have been the catalyst which is leading to its demise today. Obama ironically boasted about giving out more food stamps than any other president in U.S. The Obama administration chose to pour food stamps on our most underserved with few effective programs to incentivize our impoverished to go to work. Yet I remained faithful and hopeful that the second term would bear more fruits for the poorest, sickest, and most uneducated segment of the U.S. And I vividly remember watching eight years of focusing on countless core issues that had no real effect on blacks in America. ![]() I remember being able to recite the “Yes We Can” speech line by line. ![]() ![]() I proudly created and ran the “NFL Players for Obama” in 2008. I remember the move when I donated my entire office and all of the furniture and equipment to the Obama campaign to launch the Minnesota Headquarters in 2007.
