Lloyd Marcus is the songwriter and vocalist of the You’re a racist! The ultimate emotional intimidation
I am on the email list of a dear black friend of 20 years. He is a minister, writer, and professor. He has mentored and advised me with great wisdom on numerous occasions. With me being a black conservative Republican and he a Democrat, we avoid talking politics. Since the election of Obama, my friend will talk about nothing else. He is in Baltimore. I'm in Florida. Every time he calls me, he turns the conversation into trashing all who oppose Obama's agenda. Thank God for caller ID.- Friday, August 21, 2009
Folks, meet Sarah Starchak, brilliant student, super talented singer/songwriter, dancer, beautiful and conservative. Sarah endured severe harassment in high school from her fellow students for her reasoned opposition to worshiping their rock star, Barack Obama. Winning a scholarship, Sarah begins college in the fall.
I met Warren Kaul when I performed at the O Town Tea Party in Orlando, Florida. He was manning the Fair Tax booth. On stage, Warren expressed his displeasure with Obama's stimulus "nightmare" and his plans to transform America. Warren was born into extreme poverty and grew up in a two-room shack in the hollows of Charleston, West Virginia. Encouraged by his mother, Warren was the first in his family to graduate from high school.
This was a major achievement for the Kaul family. Warren took it further and graduated from college. Warren's success inspired his two sisters to graduate from college.
Scalpers peddled tickets to a black man's funeral on eBay for $10,000 each. Oprah, a black woman, is the richest and most influential woman in America and possibly the world.
Did I mention that the president of the United States of America is a black man? With blacks only 13% of the U.S. population, none of these extraordinary black achievements could have happened without tremendous support from white America.
Some people are screwed up. Broken. They choose to hate and nothing will change their minds. I believe most people are basically good. Given an opportunity, they work things out. Here is an example.
In 1956, my dad, Dr. Rev. Lloyd Marcus, Sr., was one of the first blacks to break the color barrier into the Baltimore City Fire Department at Engine 6. Unlike the white firefighters, Dad did not have free reign of the fire house.
