The Show Must Go On
October 26th, 2007By Senior Political Producer, Pamela Gentry
Posted Oct. 26, 2007 – A grassroots effort to bring Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) campaign to South Carolinians with music and song has hit a sour note, as the controversy surrounding the events host, pastor/gospel singer Donnie McClurkin, has taken center stage.
A concert tour scheduled to kick off today was designed to introduce Obama to Black folks in the first southern primary state. “Embrace the Change” is the theme and folks would hear the story of how Obama’s family values and faith have shaped his leadership.
But the selection of McClurkin as the host has taken the spotlight off the candidate and onto the issue of homosexuality. McClurkin’s reputation as anti-homosexual has riled gay rights activists. They charge that McClurkin, who they say is an outspoken critic of homosexuality, sends the wrong message for Obama, who touts his inclusiveness and ability to unite disparate communities.
This controversy has put the Obama camp on the defensive. In an effort to calm the controvesery surrounding the “40 Days of Faith and Family” tour, Obama’s campaign is seeking middle ground in hopes of not isolating any support or any votes – emphasis on “any.”
In an open letter, Obama’s supporters urge voters to recognize him as the best alternative among the candidates running for the White House.
The letter states: “It is clear that Barack Obama is the only candidate who has made bringing these two often disparate groups together a goal. In gatherings of LGBT Americans and African Americans of faith, Obama has stated that all individuals should be afforded full civil rights regardless of their sexual orientation, and that homophobia must be eradicated in every corner of our nation. If we are to end homophobia and secure full civil rights for gay Americans, then we need an advocate within the Black community like Barack Obama.
“At the same time, while Obama has said that he “strongly disagrees” with Pastor McClurkin’s comments, he will not exclude from his campaign the many Americans including many in the African American community who believe the same as Pastor McClurkin.
“We believe that Barack Obama is constructing a tent big enough for LGBT Americans who know that their sexual orientation is an innate and treasured part of their being, and for African American ministers and citizens who believe that their religion prevents them from fully embracing their gay brothers and sisters. And if we are to confront our shared challenges we have to join together, build on common ground, and engage in a civil dialogue even when we disagree.”
If the tour goes forward as planned, it will begin in Charleston and move through Greenwood and Columbia. Gospel stars include Mary Mary, Byron Cage, Fred Hammond, and the gospel quartet the Mighty Clouds of Joy.
Do you think Obama is doing the right thing by trying to keep everybody happy?
light and darkness don’t mix so there’s no way to embrace this. It says clearly in the bible that homosexuality is an abomination of the Lord and if he’s willing to lose his soul for the sake of a vote then that’s his business.
Years ago, Many people made these same comments. At that time they referred to the difference between “BLACKS” and “WHITES”. “BLACKS” were the “DARKNESS” and “WHITES” were the “LIGHT”.

“But God commanded His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8. If God can command His love so can we! And since all have fallen short of the glory of God we have to extend the same grace that we would like to be shown to us.
Here we go again the same on craps what the bible says did Jesus say this no it was some men like Donna McClurklin. Why don’t you bible quoteing people listen to some real Christain like Dr. Gardner C. Taylor, Dr. Calvin Butts and Dr. Peter Gomes. the rest of these false prophets are just after your money. Dr. King and his Wife were real true Christian with all there heart and soul and they never hated Gays they live and preach the true meaning of the word LOVE Do what I did visit the Holy Land where Jesus walk I will say this again People are born GAY why would a Blind Man from birth be gay because he was born that way.
TO TOM IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ YOUR BIBLE BECAUSE TH BIBLE DIRECTLY SPEAKS AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY AND TO DRK N LVE GRACE IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOVE GRACE IT IS ALSO ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LIVING HOLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST REMEMBER IN ALL THINGS WE MUST GET AN UNDERSTANDING.
In the begining the Europeans came to Africa with riffles and bibles so you do the math? What GOD are we really talking about.
As for Donnie McClurkin’s stand against homosexuality…IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD and he is a Pastor so why would he change his beliefs just because Obama feels different. He is a “man of God” called by the Holy Spirit to preach The Word (Gospel). Wouldn’t that be against God’s Word? Let that marinate for a minute.
So what they have different views, if he is to perform for this event, maybe it will change hearts. God is a heart fixer and a mind regulator and the Holy Spirit is ever so powerful! Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed!! Gen. 19
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!
