The debate over gay marriage in the African American community continues to rage one month after President Barack Obama endorsed same-sex marriage. Weeks after the NAACP, an African-American civil rights organization, passed a resolution also backing gay marriage as a civil right, the Rev. Keith Ratliff Sr., a member of the organization’s national board, has resigned.
According to KCCI, Ratliff, who also served as the NAACP’s Iowa/Nebraska conference president, has been uncertain about his future role in the group since its decision to follow in Obama’s footsteps. On May 28, World Magazine reported:
The Rev. Keith A. Ratliff Sr. said he is “in prayer” about his relationship with the NAACP following its endorsement of same-sex marriage on May 19…“I’m against same-sex marriage,” he told CitizenLink. “There are a number of issues that the NAACP has to address and deal with, and I certainly don’t think same-sex marriage should be a top priority.” Ratliff added that the gay rights movement should not be compared with the civil rights movement: “There is not a parallel between the homosexual community and the struggles of African-Americans in our country. I haven’t seen any signs on any restrooms that say ‘For Homosexuals Only.’ Homosexuals do not have to sit on the back of the bus, as African-Americans had to.”
After prayer, it seems his decision has been solidified.
“I want to thank the NAACP for the privilege to humbly serve in such an organization and thank all those I had the privilege to work with in the states of Iowa, Nebraska and throughout the country,” Ratliff said in a statement announcing his decision to exit his leadership role in the nation’s oldest civil rights group.
In addition to his work with the group, Ratliff is also the pastor of Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church in Des Moines, Iowa. The Quad City Times expands upon the minister’s past history defending traditional marriage and railing against same-sex nuptials:
Ratliff has been an outspoken critic of same-sex marriage rights and has spoken at Statehouse rallies seeking an amendment to the Iowa Constitution to undo a controversial, landmark state Supreme Court ruling in April 2009 that gave legal status to civil marriages involving same-gender couples. The proposed constitutional amendment would define marriage in Iowa as only between one man and one woman. [...]
During a Statehouse rally in March 2011, Ratliff said his support for traditional marriage was biblically based, adding, “This isn’t a private interpretation, a Burger King religion, and by that I mean a ‘have it your way’ religion.”

Every God fearing / loving Christian purchase a Christian flag to fly in front of their home.
The cross on the Christian flag stands for the invitation of Jesus Christ. This gives your family a witness. The flag stands for true freedom and salvation through the cross of Jesus Christ. God stated in the OT. write these ……upon the posts of your door and upon your gate posts. Christians need to stand up and be salt and light at a time evil is winning. Please fly the Christian flag if you are one. Both the US and Christian flag stand for freedom but the Christian flag also stands for believership in Jesus Christ. Ask your church to fly the Christian flag.
Now is the time to stand. Now is the time to hold back evil men and vile sin. Fly your colors. No one can make you take down the Christian flag.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 4:11pmThe blacks in the NAACP despise homosexuals and do not want them in any society of theirs.
Then why do they openly state they support them?
Because they are putting themselves under the umbrella that is shared by many groups whose common goal is to deconstruct the white power base in this country.
Just like they openly speak of other non-whites in pretentious terms that are disingenuously designed to make it appear as if they’re all one big happy family, when actually none of them want to associate with or truly support any group but its own.
If whites were no longer in this country, there would be daily fights with each other that would have them taking up arms.
And all of them would hate the homosexual.
Every pluralistic society in the history of the world has broken apart, with most erupting into violent, bloody wars.
And this one will go the same way.
Empires do not last.
Only mostly homogeneous societies like Japan, China and Korea can make it through the tough times, financially or societally.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 2:59pmThis man at least has a chance to do something with his life. He needs to pray over this? It is plainly in the Bible. God called it an abomination. While the Rev. is praying, he might pray for knowlege to realize that all this racism by the NAACP is doing nothing but feeding those who are making a living off the backs of those who are supposed to be protected by it. There is not supposed to be but one set of Justice and America does not need the tribal councels such as seems to be what the NAACP is to interefere with Justice. They are just set up to bully those who CAN be bullied. It is getting ridiculous because they just like the high profile cases.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 3:40pmYes, Rev. Ratliff needed to pray about it.
While the choice may have been very, very clear to him, you still have to make sure that you don’t run off at the mouth like some celebrities (”If Bush is elected, I’ll leave the country…) or make ridiculous statements (”Scott Walker will be indited in the next few days) or otherwise invalidate your standing in your community (”Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party.” – Janeane Garofalo).
Rev. Ratliff is leading his people, not offending them. [ http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/african-american-pastor-about-to-lose-church-over-gay-marriage-support/politics/2012/05/30/40231 ] He knew that the media would be all over this and so he prayed – for guidance, for protection – to say the right words in the right way so that people would understand what he was doing and why and respect him for it. He was standing up for the Word of God and that’s not to be taken lightly. There’s a cost.
Preach it, Rev. Ratliff!!!!!

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 3:06pmRecently a group of black pastors requested a meeting with President Obama in an attempt to convince him to continue his evolution on the issue of gay marriage. The pastors stated that Obama’s decision to speak in favor of gay marriage “broke” their hearts. I suspect that these pastors have not been granted an audience with The One because he’s completely indifferent to the beliefs or feeling of these supposed men of the cloth.
Personally, I’m grateful that Obama will refuse to meet with the pastors. Why should he. They have compromised their faith on every other anti-Christian position that Obama has taken so why should the pastors’ reaction or stance on gay marriage be of any concern to Obama.
I and I’m certain Obama, am convinced that these faithless reverends will find some rational explanation to continue their support for Obama. I know this because these same pastors were completely silent on the issue of Obama’s support for ABORTION, PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION AND INFANTICIDE. Yes, these pastors are heart broken over Obama’s support of gay marriage yet they gleefully supported him in 2008 and perhaps even now knowing his position on killing infants.
This pastor’s resignation falls into the same category as the other black pastors. Disgraceful.

All of these Pastors who are standing up now have no credibility.

This idea that we are no longer under the law simply because we “believe” is a false teaching of man. Repent and be saved, obey Gods laws. John 14:15. God Bless
