American-Born President of America Proves He's American - The Snob Blog - Danielle Belton's The Black Snob

I don't agree with everything Danielle Belton writes on her blog but on many things she is right about. This is one of them.

Since forever, certain folks (aka "Birthers") could not accept the shocking reality that a Kenyan-born man and a Kansas-born teenager could get together on American soil, do the do and then have a baby in the 50th state of Hawaii and have that actual baby be a natural born citizen. They have said that if Obama would just release his long-form birth certificate they would stop sounding overtly racist and go back to reading Ron Paul newsletters or sniffing around Texas-based grassy knolls. But now that Obama has done it, do we really believe these people will shut up?


No, I don't think so.

Answering Muslims: Passover for Sudan's Freed Slaves

I've got to admit that this post really touched me. It turns that there thousands of black Africans living as slaves, forced to convert to Islam, and treated like animals. It hits real close to home because it's the sort of institutionalized slavery that resembles slavery in the United States.




I'm real happy that international organizations are taking steps to help get many people free. I keep wondering why doesn't the United States and the United Nations do more to help. Apparently people are donating money so that they can buy people's freedom?! I'm wondering why these racist slave holders should profit from their evil? I can't help but think that if these people were not black more would be done. In the orient whenever white girls are discovered kidnapped for the sex trade the authorities come down hard and puts a stop to it without compensation to the perpetrators. There is a religious component to this too because the Muslims who are doing this think the Quran and their prophet Muhammad give them the right. More needs to be done.

Judgment is coming. In the cases I can think of  where historically the treatment of slaves were similar, the nations guilty of such crimes had to pay a heavy price for their sin.

Answering Muslims: Christian Arrested in California for Reading the Bible in Public

I was struck by this. In America? SO it's against the law now to practice free speech if the people around you don't want to hear what you have to say? Sounds shady to me. I didn't see that in the Constitution.




Maybe part of the problem was that the scriptures he was reading were some of the most in-your-face scriptures in the entire Bible that really point to Jesus being the only way of salvation in the Bible. Maybe John 3:16 would have flown since many people have caloused hearts against that one. However scriptures like Romans 1 is not as well known to the secular public. In short - those were the perfects scriptures to use.

Territories and Sites of the Hebrew Scriptures | Dr. Claude Mariottini – Professor of Old Testament

I am a huge fan of Biblical archaeology and geography. I think it is one of the reasons I really admire Dr. Claude Mariottini's blog. He just posted a link to a free e-book, Burton MacDonald’s book, East of the Jordan: Territories and Sites of the Hebrew Scriptures. Lot of great information!
