One Must!
1. One must definitely be married to an African-American Female, or an African American Male in the case of those Sisters Who are Seeking America’s Highest Office!
2. One must Attend the Right Ultra Conservative and Socially Acceptable Black Church where the Pastor only preaches 3 Points and A Poem Messages about The Pie in the Sky When We Die! Your preacher must not whoop, nor may there be any bucking, or praise breaks at anytime in your respective church!
3. Never Speak Sternly to the Traditional Media!
4. A Complimentary Yessa, and Yes Maam every now and then wouldn’t hurt!
5. One must have a truly spotless background! You must have never used drugs of any kind, and you must never ever have called even 1 white person a honky before!
6. You must never challenge anyone white on slavery, institutional racism, the treatment of the poor, and most of all affirmative action!
7. You must never ever mention Louis Farrakhan, Malcom X, and God forbid The Late Dr. Khallid Muhammad in any speech unless it is to denounce them!
8. You must never receive an endorsement from Charles Barkley, Rappers, or Outspoken Black Talk Show Hosts!
9. You must bow, shine, coon, laugh when you are not tickled, and scratch when you don’t itch when you are encountered by the conservative media!

11. You must never ever side with your people on Economic Issues! You must never ever ever mention the need to help African American Businesses!
12. You must make even Bob, Sue Ann, and Charley in Whooterville,Tennessee to feel comfortable with you!
13. You must wear an American Flag at all times on your lapel or your dress if we have any aspiring African American Females out there!
14. You must almost bruise your chest in putting your hand over your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance is being administered!
15. Your Eyes Must Be White, Your Teeth Must be Perfect! Single Breasted S & K Type Suits are the only Acceptable Dress that You May Have! You must always wear white shirts!
16. Never Seek the Endorsement of Oprah Winfrey, Rev. Al Sharpton, or Rev. Jesse Jackson in your bid for the Presidency!

18. You must not have any facial hair, dreads, or trendy haircuts during your run for the Presidency! You must definitely not have a process hairdo!
19. You must highly exalt the memory of Former President Reagan at all times!
20. When Dirty Politics is aimed at you, you must never confront it!
21. You must never use the word Unfair at any time during your run! You must be seen eating Apple Pie at all times, never be seen eating Hot Wings, nor Chitlings!
22. Your family must resemble the Cosby Family, even your fifth cousin once removed can’t afford an arrest nor a divorce during your run for the Presidency! Cousin Bookie, Cousin Ray Ray, and by all means Cousin Dacresia Nem must be avoided at all costs! You must never let your Mom talk to the media at anytime!
23. You must carry a Bible at all times, but you must never hold Mainstream America accountable to the Tenets of the Bible!
24. You must never speak in argumentative tones to anyone white in Public!
25. You must emulate The House Negro of Years Past to gain Acceptance in Rural, and even in some of Mainstream America ! Being a tad bit light skin in your pursuit of this noble office wouldn’t hurt any also! You must always use the term The White House in your run for the Presidency, never ever call it the Presidential Crib!
Here are the 25 Keys for a Black Man or a Black Woman to Be Elected President in The United States!
Preach Rev. Al!

Trinity United Church of Christ
Rev. Jeremiah Wright asks Common to freestyle the sermon previously preached at the Watch Night Service! Some of the news coverage of this church would make one believe that this is a church full of millitants, but that is simply not true. Rev. Jeremiah Wright has been one of the most respected black preachers in the land for years!
The Black Church
I couldn’t have predicted the response that I received after I posted a comment on the Black Church. The term Black Church has been used to describe the African American Church, which is the most revered institution in the black community. It is indeed quite sad that anyone would have to call his or her church a black church, or a white church. I will proudly submit to you that the God of the Bible transcends color, and either God is Lord of All Born-Again Believers that follow his precepts, ways and his word, or he is not Lord at all. The scriptures state that God is not a respecter of persons, so that would mean that God would not be enamored by the race or ethnicity of any believer. Yet, it is still surprising to me that to just mention the term black church causes such an uproar.
I am the descendant of a people that were brought to this nation in the hulls of slave ships. I am not asking for an apology from anyone, but I am asking many of you that come to this blog and others to consider the following point of view. We shouldn’t have to call a church a Black church. However; one would be remiss to not note that there has not been widespread reconciliation in our houses of worship. The African American People are less than 7 generations up from being banned from reading, writing, and even worshipping God.
While American pulpits and choirstands have proclaimed that God is love for hundreds of years, systemic and institutional racism has prevailed in our nation and even in our churches. While the slaveowners studied the Holy Writ, they brutally assaulted many of the initial African American slaves. Where there prayer meetings before lynchings? Why was the mainstream church silent for so long on such a horrible practice as slavery? The Black Church was basically all that people of color possessed.
Blacks had been lingering at the bottom of the American social caste chart for years. One of the commandments of Jesus was to love one’s neighbor as one would love himself. Is it a sin for an African American to savor the fragrance of an African American Worship Service? I submit to you that it is not a sin for one to enjoy his or her church’s flavor of worship. Our church has had a proud legacy, and I am not ashamed about loving the ambiance of The Black Church. There have been many efforts to integrate churches throughout our land, yet 11 AM on Sunday Mornings is still the most segregated hour on the clock.
If one would pay attention to our television ministries and our megachurches, there are many preachers of other races that pastor or oversee thousands of members of color. Yet, this is not true in the inverse. If one would follow all of the major African American ministries in our land that have black pastors, one would not find an overwhelming “percentage” of other races in the congregation. This is why there has been a so called black church.
Our modes of worship are different and that is not a discredit to any race. Are we really committed to reconciliation in our houses of worship? There was a previous pastor of a large mainstream church in Memphis,Tennessee that once stated-I can’t wait to get to heaven, so I can go on the Negro side of heaven and sing one of those great Negro spirituals. Will there be subdivisions in heaven? Was he reciting what others secretly believe?
Prayerfully, the houses of worship in our land will learn to work together on common ground. We are all aspiring to make it to a place called heaven where there will be no segregation, busing, or separations by ethnicities. One could surmise that racism has sometimes even crept into the House of Grace. The enemy must love to see the church separated by lines of color. Let’s eradicate this problem. If we ever plan on seeing the Christ that we all preach about, we had better get started!
Respectfully Submitted,
Pastor Stephen F. Smith
