I woke up this morning expecting the day to be normal. But normal just doesn’t seem to visit my house anymore. I am especially convinced of this fact after seeing some really "interesting" pictures of the Bishop Eddie Long. These pictures were allegedly sent by Bishop Long to one of his "spiritual sons," who has not yet filed a lawsuit.
After these pictures were released to the public by the plantiff’s attorney, I am sure she said the word "checkmate" out loud. One cannot say with complete certainty that these pictures were sent to the young men to convince them of the importance of working out, to show off the latest fashion trends or to simply say, "Hey man, how ya doin?", but the images leave Bishop Long with a lot of explaining to do.
Your Black Politics 
MY OPINION IS ALL I SEE IS 1 PICTURE! 2ND OK BECAUSE HE SENT A ATHLETIC PICTURE TO A MAN ESPECIALLY A YOUNG MAN, IS SHOWING THAT PERSON I STILL GOT IT TOO JUST BECAUSE I’M OLDER I STILL GOT THAT BODY! HE’S NOT IN HIS UNDERWARE! HE’S NOT NAKED! OR TOUCHING HISSELF! SO I DON’T C THE BIG DEAL! SHOW ME MORE PROOF THAT HE IS OR HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG!
ALSO WHAT I READ ON ONE OF THE BLOGS LINKED TO THIS PAGE ABOUT BLACK HOMOSEXUALITY IS PREDJUDICE I BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MANY WHITE HOMOSEXUALS. I’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE NOW N I’VE SEEN MORE GAY MARCHES N THE MAJORITY OF THEM WAS WHITE! AS FAR AS THE CHURCHES IS CONCERN THERE WAS JUST A BIG SCANDAL GOING ON WITH OTHER CHURCH CATHOLIC. N SENSE YOU DONT RUN IN THE CIRCLE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES HOW CAN U STATE AN OPINION ON AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES AS A WHOLE!!! IF U DON’T BE IN OR AROUND AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES! NOW IF IT’S PROVEN HE IS GUILTY THEN SO BE IT! BUT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR U OR ANYONE ELSE TO GENERALIZE ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES OR SLANDER THEM IN SUCH MANNER! NONE OF THEM ARE PERFECT! WHITE OR BLACK. I’M NOT PERFECT N NEITHER AR U OR ANYONE ELSE! WHERE HERE STRIVING FOR PERFECTION! SO WHOEVER VIOLATES GOD’S HOUSE WHITE BLACK OR INDIFFERENT WILL BE JUDGED BY THE ONLY PERFECT ONE N ONLY ALLL MIGHTY GOD! AND NONE OF US FITS GODS FITS THAT DISCRIPTION! HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
