From Lloyd Marcus:

I jump on every opportunity to respectfully challenge my 84-year-old black dad’s loyalty to Obama.  Dad has been a Christian pastor over 50 years.  He lives in Maryland, and I live in Florida.  I called Dad to ask if he participated in Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.  He said no, he had not heard about it.  Then, he added, “All I know is Chick-fil-A discriminates against gays.”

Folks, I was outraged. Struggling to keep my composure, I passionately said, “Dad, that is a lie!  You have got to stop getting your news from the mainstream media!”

I went on to explain to my dad what the protest and appreciation day were really about.  Dad was shocked.  He does not support same-sex marriage, and he was pretty grossed out when I told him that in retaliation homosexuals have planned a “kiss-in” at Chick-fil-A restaurants.

I also took the occasion to inform Dad that black pastors across America have organized to protest Obama’s support of same-sex marriage. Again, Dad knew nothing about the black pastors’ protest.

At my local Chick-fil-A restaurant, Mavis and I were the only blacks there in support of the protest, amongst hundreds of white Christians and Tea Party patriots.

So what is going on?  Why is the truth not getting to a majority of black Americans? I fault a majority of black media outlets and the mainstream media.

For the most part, conservative talk radio is a white thing.  Even black conservative radio talk show hosts have a mostly white following.

How do we get the truth to black America?  Since I am writing about this problem, one might assume I have a solution.  Well, I do not, and it frustrates me.

My conversation with Dad was yesterday.  He called me at 9 AM this morning.  “Why haven’t I heard about what Christians were doing in support of Chick-fil-A?”  I told Dad the reason is because the mainstream media, where he gets his news, is in the pocket of the socialists/progressives who embrace same-sex marriage.  The mainstream media (CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC) gave the phenomenon minimal coverage.

Dad was surprised to learn that all who oppose same-sex marriage are branded bigots and haters by his beloved Democratic Party and the mainstream media.  Dad said he does not hate or judge anyone.  However, the Bible says homosexuality is wrong.  He must stand on the Word of God.

Patriots, my excitement was overwhelming.  Read more.
