Pastor Manning said that Obama's "African-in-heat father went chasing after a trashy white woman and Obama was born in trash".
He also scolds blacks for embracing affirmative action because it's a law that says "blacks aren't as qualified as whites and they don't have to meet the same standards".
People like Louis Armstrong have had genuinely scary and bad beginnings, and in his case he went from poverty in New Orleans to being one of the best and most influential Jazz musicians of the 20th Century.
Whatever is the case about anything about Obama's parents or any other person from his youth, I judge him now on his merits, not on those of his parents or his full range of friends and past associates.

I find it ironic that this pastor takes on Obama's "trashy mother" and then praises Bill Clinton. The Big Dog isn't exactly a descendant of saints.
I have a problem with attacking someone for something that is beyond their control.
The founders were specific about ending the king's onerous policy of corruption of the blood to punish offenses, and Harlem blacks would likely be gone now if that was the policy of the US.
Perhaps Pastor Manning has taken the position that if Obama is pleasing white folks then he ain't doing it right.
At the same time other blacks continue to attack Clinton (whose office is there) and others for the "gentrification" of Harlem which they view as a threat.
As long as blacks are all over the spectrum and attacking each other they can be safely ignored as a political force with which to be reckoned.
