Listen up Blacks...

Dontcha just love how he starts off..
From a Facebook post from the lovely and eloquent Franklin Graham. The reason I saw it is that I'm related to a bunch of fundies.

Listen up--Blacks, Whites, Latinos, and everybody else. Most police shootings can be avoided. It comes down to respect for authority and obedience. If a police officer tells you to stop, you stop. If a police officer tells you to put your hands in the air, you put your hands in the air. If a police officer tells you to lay down face first with your hands behind your back, you lay down face first with your hands behind your back. It’s as simple as that. Even if you think the police officer is wrong—YOU OBEY. Parents, teach your children to respect and obey those in authority. Mr. President, this is a message our nation needs to hear, and they need to hear it from you. Some of the unnecessary shootings we have seen recently might have been avoided. The Bible says to submit to your leaders and those in authority “because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account.”


Hey, if he's such a fan of submitting to leaders and authority, what does he think about Congress and how they respect Obama...

Why do I bother. He's just another ...

So if he is to submit to his leaders (his own words), why does it seem like he is barking orders at Obama? What he really means is LISTEN UP BLACKS. He just throws in the other two to appear unbiased.

Just another racist fundie with a superiority complex.

It isn't about submitting to leaders and authority.

It is about those in positions of authority abusing their authority.

9. While the presentation is obviously racist and the justification absurd, it's still excellent advice

In any dealing with the police, you're much more likely to come out of it well if you do what you're told. It's not about earned respect for authority, it's about simple self-interest.
