The head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s public policy arm has condemned the response of many black leaders to the Trayvon Martin case as “shameful.”

Some black pastors within the nation’s largest Protestant denomination say Richard Land’s comments hurt the effort to broaden the faith’s appeal beyond its traditional white, Southern base.

Land, who is white, says he stands by his assertion that President Barack Obama, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton are using the case “to try to gin up the black vote.”

One black Southern Baptist minister, the Rev. Dwight McKissic, said he plans ask the convention to repudiate Land’s remarks.

Land says he thinks that effort will fail because the majority of Southern Baptists agree with him.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”"

– Isaac Asimov 1980

If Zimmerman had shot a “White guy”, not only would he had been in jail from day one,

Bill O’Reilly and all of the posters speaking up on Zimmerman’s behalf, would be the same ones calling Zimmerman an illegal immigrant and be asking that he be deported…Even if Zimmerman was born in this country and his father was White man.”

Bill O’Reilly is such a LOSER.”

Almost every time Bill O’Reilly opens his mouth, he’s wrong. Al Sharpton has never called for a rush to judgement or violence.

He just wanted the justice system to do what it was supposed to do; starting with George Zimmerman’s arrest.

If Reverend Sharpton and other high profile people didn’t bring attention to case, the Sanford Police Department would have been content to sweep what happened to Trayvon Martin under the rug.

And what justice would that have been?

Pathetic how oreilly tried to trick the mother of a slain child into commenting on race, as a way to justify his listeners’ constant complaints of race cards.
