Patrick Wooden Conservapimping For NOM

The recent poll showing Mitt Romney for obvious reasons having zero support in the African-American community while the POTUS has 94% of it has led to the conservafools attempting their tried and true media propaganda tactics to whittle down that support and bamboozle our people into voting against President Obama


The National Organization for Marriage decided to waste $34,000 of their donor's money deploying Pastor conservapimp Patrick Wooden in radio ads on Black radio stations in areas of North Carolina that overwhelmingly voted against the unjust Amendment One by trying to convince us to vote against President Obama.

Really?   Good luck with that.

In addition to NOM giving those Black radio stations some additional ad money they laughed all the way to the bank with, they are insulting the intelligence of African-American voters, which is much higher than the sheeple they're used to aiming their propaganda at.

There was this jacked up comment from the vanillacentric privileged conservafool Brian Brown concerning the just launched scampaign

“The goal of our advertising campaign is to issue a wake-up call to the African American community in North Carolina that President Obama does not represent the values that they have fought to protect,” said NOM president Brian Brown in a statement. “We urge all North Carolinians to join Dr. Wooden in rejecting the anti-family policies of President Obama this November.”

We already know about NOM's strategy to try to drive a wedge between the African-American rainbow and straight communities, and North Carolina NAACP President Rev Dr. William Barber is already on the case debunking NOM's and by extension their spokesellout Patrick Wooden's bull feces.

"The real insult to the Civil Rights Movement is that same regressive ultra conservative tea party type folks suing to overturn the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which many historians consider the most important achievement of the Civil Rights Movement, re-segregate and rob our public schools of valuable resources, block workers’ rights to organize, force us all to get photo ID’s to exercise our right to vote, cut back on the time to vote, and repeal the Racial Justice law, now somehow think the sons and daughters of the Civil Rights Movement can’t see through their Trojan Horse trick.

The ultra-conservative sponsors push their anti-gay amendment with one hand, and their restrictions on our voting rights with the other. They would write discrimination into our Constitution with one hand, but violate it by withholding enough funds for children to get a sound basic education."

I agree with Pam.   NOM is wasting valuable air time and money on that Don Quixote like mission of sending that cookie chomping sellout Patrick Wooden to our community.   Wooden is attempting on behalf pf NOM to convince African-American North Carolinians to vote against President Obama for a man in Mitt Romney and a party that has shown zero respect for our community, our issues and our policy concerns.

And Patrick Wooden, this next graphic is aimed directly at you Oreo cookie chomping sellout behind

To be honest, you don't deserve to be called a Negro.  Let's tell the truth.  Conservapimp is an accurate description for what you are dong now.   Once your value as a 'useful fool' for white supremacy and whiteness is no longer required, they'll kick your butt to the curb soon enough. 

Transfaith In Color 2012 Conference Coming Soon

Charlotte, NC in addition to hosting the 2012 Democratic National Convention this September will be hosting another edition of  another conference I would love to attend. 

It's the 2012 edition of the TransFairh In Color conference at the Hilton Hotel University Place in the Queen City and it's another event that has been gaining a dedicated following and attention within the POC trans community

It's presented by the Freedom Center For Social Justice in Charlotte, and one of the reasons that the event was founded was because of the disconnect they noticed in the community in the organizing around ENDA.

The initial 2010 TFIC conference was held in Los Angeles and I was bummed that a scheduling conflict kept me from speaking at it.  It was held in Charlotte last year and will be once again from August 17-19.

Here's hoping they not only get increasing attendace for this event, but the TransGriot can finally be in the house for it.

NC 'Pastor' Calls For Final Solution To The LGBT Problem

If you thought I was kidding when I said this is the most pivotal election in American history and you people who call yourselves liberal-progressives need to be running to the polls to vote a straight Democratic ticket, peep the following video. 

The Conservafundies in North Carolina are basking in the glow of victory after the unjust Amendment One's passage, and they are letting the homophobic and transphobic faith-based hate flow

Pastor Charles Worley of Maiden, NC was channeling his inner Nazi last Sunday and has some ideas about what to do with all those pesky GLBT people demanding human rights coverage in 'their' America.






I guess for his next sermon he'll have David Bahati flown in from Uganda to pimp their idea for a 'Kill The Gays' bill.

Okay, you just called for genocide.  Maybe that's okay by conservagod, but not the Lord and Savior and the God I worship.as a Christian.

Take it away Martin Bashir and Anthea Butler.

NBJC Statement On Passage Of North Carolina's Amendment One.

TransGriot Note: Press Release from the National Black Justice Coalition concerning the regrettable passage of the unjust Amendment One

Yesterday, North Carolinians voted to pass Amendment One, which will change the state’s constitution to recognize only marriage between one man and one woman; ban civil unions; and eliminate health care, prescription drug coverage and other benefits for public employees and children receiving domestic partner benefits.

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), the nation’s leading Black LGBT civil rights organization, responds to North Carolina’s disappointing passage of Amendment One and how Black faith leaders rallied to condemn the amendment as well as educate voters.


Recent polls found that 60 percent of North Carolina voters were unaware of the full implications of the referendum. In fact, Public Policy Polling found that “if all voters were informed of [the amendment’s] consequences, the amendment would fail by a 38-46 margin…”

“It is a grave disappointment that North Carolinians voted to deny couples and children equal protections under the law,” says Sharon Lettman-Hicks, NBJC Executive Director and CEO. “Although this represents an unfortunate setback to progress and has devastating consequences to many families, we are encouraged by the number of Black clergy that spoke out against the amendment.”

Support for Amendment One had continued to slip, especially among African Americans. Public Policy Polling data revealed support for the amendment from Black voters dropped from 61/30 to 51/39. That was the lowest level of support PPP has found in monthly polling of the amendment since last October.

Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP, spoke out in opposition of any proposal that would alter the federal or state constitution to exclude any groups from equal protection under the law. Rev. Barber joined several Black pastors that spoke out publicly about their stance against the amendment.

You Want to Blame Somebody For The NC Loss...

Don't blame the POTUS for it, as I have heard in some politically ignorant and obtuse quarters of the vanillacentric GL community today.   

North Carolina state Senator James Forrester (R) is the one who sponsored this unjust amendment..   But you won't be able to do much screaming at him because he's dead. 

But here's the list of people you can blame.

You can start with all the liberal progressives in North Carolina who sat out the November 2010 midterm election to 'punish the Democrats' and ended up giving the Tea Klux Klan and the Republicans control of the legislature for the first time in 140 years. 

Democratic control of the North Carolina legislature was what kept similar Amendment One style constitution bans from seeing the light of day to begin with because they were routinely killed in committee.   One they lost control, the Dems had no way to stop them and the GOP introduced, passed it and put it on the ballot.  

You can blame the faith based conservafools, Billy Graham, their knee-grow spokessellout Patrick Wooden and other like minded pastors who relentlessly pimped Amendment One and worked like mad spreading disinformation and lies in violation of several commandments in order to get it passed.


You can blame all the registered liberal progressive voters in the state who for whatever reason, didn't bother to show up at the polls.   By not exercising your right to vote, congratulations, you helped pass this unjust amendment and through your inaction are now complicit in the oppression of other people.

You can blame the 61% of North Carolina's voters who for whatever reason, voted for the unjust amendment despite the best efforts of the large coalition that tried to 'ejumacate'  people about what would happen if that happened.  It is now regrettably part of North Carolina's constitution until either North Carolina's or the United States Supreme Court overturn it.

0-32?

The polls open later today in the Tarheel State on the Amendment 1 ballot question to enshrine a same gender marriage ban (which by the way is already banned in the state) into North Carolina's constitution.

"Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized."  states the Amendment 1 language.

But it also goes one odious step further in addition to inserting the ban on same-sex marriage in the North Carolina Constitution.  

If Amendment 1 passes it would also frack with civil unions or any other form of "domestic legal union" for both gay and straight couples by banning those as well. .

North Carolina was the last of the old Confederate states that didn't have a constitutional gay marriage ban to the disgust of the faith-based homobigots because it kept getting killed in committee when the Democrats controlled the state legislature. But when the Tea Klux Klan got control of the North Carolina legislature in the wake of the 2010 midterm elections, it opened the door for this to happen.

Elections matter, people.    Same gender marriage when it comes to a vote has lost 31 times, and unfortunately the polling coming out of North Carolina on the eve of this election isn't looking good for the rainbow team.   But there's always hope and the chance for an upset.  

To tell you how much this issue matters, I leave you with the wise words of the Rev Dr. William J. Barber II, the North Carolina NAACP president.    Dr. Barber breaks it down with a historical, moral and well-reasoned argument against these anti-gay marriage amendments. 

Please heed those words and defeat this unjust amendment, because no one's civil rights should be put up for a vote by a misguided and hate filled majority.
