Bishop EW Jackson explains his call for Black America to separate themselves from the Democratic ‘slavish devotion’

Bishop EW Jackson made an appearance on the Glenn Beck Show Thursday to discuss his recent video, the nature of the Democratic Party and the upcoming election.

“…that’s why I intentionally did not mention Barack Obama explicitly in that tape because I was trying to help people to see ideas and get away from the personality and just look at what the principles are that they are following and how much they are in discordance with what people in the church community at least claim to believe.”

Jackson is already a target by the supporters of President Obama, calling him names.

“I just got finished reading an e‑mail just before coming on the program, one of those nasty e‑mails that you get calling me an Uncle Tom, saying that I’m an antigay hero, you know, this and that. But, you know, I’m getting a tremendously positive response from many in the black community and I think this may be the beginning of a fissure and the end of that slavish devotion as I referred to it to the Democrat Party.”

Don’t expect Bishop Jackson to cut and ran or be silenced by these attacks.

“I will not be silent because I believe in humanity. I believe in people. I believe in members of the black community that they are full of potential and beauty and God‑given gifts. And what I see is a party and a progressive movement that is robbing them of their vision and robbing them of their dreams and their vision and I want to awaken them to the sense that, there’s more for you than that. God has something more for you than that. Don’t accept this dependence and this sort of sycophancy that says we’ll give you a few crumbs, all you’ve got to do is ignore your bidding and ignore those principles you believe in because after all, if you don’t those boogie men are out there and they are going to get you.”

Beck used the Prop 8 vote in California as an example of principled minorities voting against the party line politics, opposing the “left wing agenda” issue.

“…with the black community particularly, there are two things I think that have led to this. One is fear. They’ve been manipulated by fear. You know, the fear that they are going to get you, they’re out there, they’re out there to get. I mean, Glenn, you know, I have watched your program. I’ve had people say to me, “Well, somebody ‑‑ they told me that Glenn Beck is a racist.” And then I started watching his program. I said, I want to see this guy, I want to see is he ‑‑ and then they started, “Well, you know, I didn’t hear him say anything racist.” And then I watched a little bit more and they said, “Well, wait a minute, where is that coming from?” It’s a lie intended to manipulate people. And then the second thing is bad leadership. When you’ve got the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, some of these civil rights leaders who are interested in promoting racial division and hostility and a sense of victimization in order to further their own careers, then you get people listening to the wrong kind of leadership, and to me bad leadership produces bad results.”

Beck then paints a bleak future if America falls calling it a “generational darkness” that will fall upon the earth.

“Glenn, to me that is the genius of America. It is not just our Constitution or Declaration. It’s the sense that we are not a mere historical happenstance but we are a providential nation, that the favor of God has been on us.”

    If more men spoke the truth of what we are suppose to be in God and not try to use God as a dividing point…think what the world could be…
