Slurs such as "fag" and "bulldagger" are "Biblically acceptable" and "Christians" should use these words to "call attention to homosexuals", says a conservative, New York City-based Pentecostal minister.
James Manning, the senior pastor at the ATLAH World Missionary Church on 123rd Street in Harlem, encouraged "all Christians" to "call out homosexuals" in one of his latest incendiary video rants. "I've stated we ought to stand up, push back and use strong language, like 'fag', 'bulldagger', 'sodomite'. What they do is they get people's attention. You can't say 'homosexual' anymore because it's been so whitewashed and made acceptable by the New York Times. But you call them a 'fag' or a 'sodomite' and you get everybody's attention. That's what we want."
Manning, who regularly rants against gays and gay rights on his YouTube channel, also warned that marriage equality will lead to the "legalization of bestiality."
The far-right Black minister has also falsely accused President Obama of not being a native-born American citizen, and, bizarrely, called Obama’s mother "white trash" for becoming pregnant by an African man, reports LGBTQNation.
Manning revisited this issue on 8 December 2008 during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, when he said in reference to the President: "It is common knowledge that African men, coming from the continent of Africa — especially for the first time — do diligently seek out white women to have sexual intercourse with. Generally the most noble of white society choose not to intercourse sexually with these men. So it’s usually the trashier ones who make their determinations that they’re going to have sex."
Wonder what the good reverend thinks of the "Biblically acceptable" practice of owning slaves? Watch AFTER THE JUMP ...
"Aborition"? What is that? But I do know what an abortion is, and I've witnesssed human beings who should have meant that fate.
He seems to like vaginas though. I bet he eats from the back--which is fine, but not in a hypocrite.

What's interesting about this video to me has less to do with his homobigotry than his birther hot mess in the backgroud.

This guy must be what the Boondocks cartoon character "Uncle Rukus" is based on.

Last week Manning surprised me by declaring Palin a racist, give truth the phrase even a broken clock is right twice a day but it seems that making sense is something is far from committed to. All this man does is preach hatred twisting the bible to justify it. I don't recognize what he does as the least bit Christian. Do you know he gave himself a doctorate in divinity? The man is not even fit to preach to a yak.

Why don't these people do something constructive like skateboard while blinfolded across a four lane highway?

Funny how ministers preach about god loves everyone but still preach hatred and ignorance. Ah, Christains

QUEST, I am sooooo serious when I say I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT! This buffoon has been ranting about things for years and he's not a preacher at all. He's a madman in a collar, like a rabid dog loosed on the neighborhood.

Maybe Alvin Greene should hire this guy to manage his 2012 presidential campaign...
