  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Acclaimed Christian singer Sandi Patty exhorted President Donald Trump to apologize to “America, especially Black America,” for the “inexcusable” video posted to his Truth Social account that depicted Barack and Michelle Obamaas apes. Patty said she gave herself 24 hours before posting her thoughts, and she called upon the president to “do the right thing.”

“Mr. President, my name is Sandi Patty. I’m a follower of Jesus, a registered Republican, and I’m very proud to be an American,” she said. “After a very thoughtful 24 hours, I wanted to share with you some heartfelt thoughts.”

In my opinion that video was derogatory on all democrats not just the Obamas.
E.g. Schumer and AOC are made to look like jackasses.
Why apologise to just the Obamas?

Because of our particular history of racism and racist art in the US, the insult to the Obamas is deeper and more personal than the insults to Democrats in general.

Not disagreeing with you about the other insults, mind you. But if apology is a possibility, the Obamas should get theirs first.

That video was two seconds stuck to the end of another video. Two. Seconds. And for that two seconds there are demand to do the modern version of wearing a hair shirt and going on a pilgrimage to a shrine. The only difference is that back then it was considered sufficient and these days it's never considered enough. I don't know if Ms. Patty realizes that, or knows that it was two seconds at the end of another video. Either way, that's her opinion and she's welcome to it.

I'd settle for something like this: "I see now how offensive the video was, and I apologize for posting it. From now on, I will personally oversee anything that is posted in my name on Truth Social to ensure that nothing like this happens again." And then follow through.

Repentance, confession, amendment of life.
