Christian TV host: FCC colludes with Obama to ‘molest and visually rape your children’ By David Edwards rawstory.com Thursday, August 22, 2013 12:09 EDT A disgraced former Navy chaplain on Thursday alleged that “demonic spirits” were influencing Federal Communications Commission Director Julius Genachowski, who was working “in collusion” with President Barack Obama, to “molest and visually rape your children.” Chaplain Gordon James “Chaps” Klingenschmitt told his Pray in Jesus Name Internet Show viewers that Genachowski had failed to enforce decency standards for the last four years. “We have talked on this show about the Bible and how the Bible defines spiritual discernment, and the ability to see invisible angels or demons or the Holy Spirit influencing human morality,” Klingenschmitt explained. “So for example, Julius Genachowski, the outgoing FCC chairman, who works apparently in collusion with President Obama, has not enforced the decency standards in even four years.” The former Navy chaplain went on to “trace the spiritual root” and discovered “perhaps a demonic spirit of tyranny or immorality inside of him.” “The demonic spirit influences him to abuse and, dare I say, molest and visually rape your children,” he added. “And that’s no light statement.” “Because when the molester gets into your children’s heart, then your children is defiled. And then your children grows up with perversion in his or her heart.” Watch this video from Pray in Jesus Name, broadcast Aug. 22, 2013.

"Maybe the next time I have a black person over at my house, I'll make sure not to offer him or her a banana before dinner. Because you know, that "racist." Have you ever HAD a black person over at your house? Offer them watermelon before dinner. After all, it's just a melon.

Watermelon has been the food I list as my favorite since I was a small child. I have grown patches of watermelon, enough that I could sell them off the back of my truck some forty years ago. They are still the favorite. Just for fun when my daughter was young we kept a chart on the wall in the summer. We would rate each watermelon we got for ripeness, crispness, sweetness, and visual appeal each summer to be able to award a winner by the end of summer. This summer she noticed something weird about how people associate watermelons with black people as a funny thing. I had a hard time explaining how stupid it is to snicker about something like that. I asked her to just forget it but it was bugging her so. I talked about it. I know it can be embarrassing for black people. There has been art, music, stories, postcards, jokes, even movies mocking black people eating watermelons. It sucks but I have seen black people look over their shoulder before picking a watermelon or just avoid them altogether (except when at my table of course). Who doesn't like watermelon? Well, it is a stereotype that somehow painted black people in slavery times as being simple and easy to please. ehhh, what could I say to my kid? Its a shame. Yeah, its easy to please me, so pass me a nice sweet ripe slice of watermelon. tsk one_less

>How many "patterns of racism" can you find? How many different kinds of racial gestures, expressions, and "code words" can you list? You really want to know? If I had to, probably hundreds or thousands. That's the goddamned problem! If having bananas was the only problem that black people faced, I'd say "no big deal." But that's incredibly far from the case. >Are you going to see "racism" every time a black person steps on a banana peel? Depends. Did someone throw the banana at him? >The bottom line is this: You repeatedly accuse me of denying that racism exists, but you are constantly seeing racism in incidents where there was none. All because it matches one of the infinite "patterns of racism" that you can Google at your convenience. I can Google them at my convenience because they fucking happened! They're there! They're real! >Increasing racial sensitivity does not mean being hypersensitive to the trivial. It's not about my level of sensitivity. It's about my level of empathy. You happen not to have very much of that. >Or in your case, only being hypersensitive when it fits YOUR agenda. What on earth do you think my "agenda" is? What do I have to gain here? Noting things like this is probably counter to my own best interests. I'm better off because I'm white. -Z
