New York Post Racist Cartoon Slanders President Obama
Thursday, February 19, 2008 at 12 Noon
New York Post Offices
1211 Avenue of the Americas (between 47th & 48th Sts)
New York, NY
The New York Post maligned President Barak Obama in an overtly racist cartoon depicting two police officers, one is pointing a smoking gun at a large chimpanzee lying on the ground clearly shot dead. The caption reads, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.”
The cartoon in Wednesday’s (2/18/09) edition on the infamous “Page Six,” is a crass distortion of a recent horrific incident in which a 200 pound pet chimpanzee mauls a woman and police shoot and kill him.
NYC Councilman Charles Barron has called for A City Wide Emergency Protest Demonstration. Th e protest will be held on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 12 noon in front of the New York Post's main offices at 1211 Avenue of the Americas (between 47th and 48th Streets) New York, NY.
“The clearly racist tone is outrageous,” said Colette Pean of the Women for Obama. “We are in support of Councilman Barron, and we must let the New York Post know this will not be tolerated by the people in this city.”
Invited speakers joining Councilman Barron include Reverend Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, NYC, State Senator Bill Perkins, State Assemblywoman Inez Barron, Viola Plummer of the Women for Obama, Monica Moorehead of the International Action Center, and representatives of the Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive To African People (CEMOTAP), the December 12th Movement, NAACP-Jamaica Queens, Harriet Tubman Collective, Black Men’s Movement, and many others.

Rick Warren Interview
REMEMBER HE WROTE "PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE")
You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his
wife now
having cancer and him having "wealth" from the book sales. This
is an
absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a
nutshell,
life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last
forever, and God
wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of
my body but
not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend
trillions of
years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress
rehearsal. God wants
us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out,
life isn't
going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're
just coming
out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your
character than
your comfort.
God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in
making your
life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the
goal of life.
The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also
the toughest,
with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through
a dark
time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't
believe that
anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's
kind of like
two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have
something good and
something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always
something bad
that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always
something
good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your
problems.
If you focus on your problems, you're going into
self-centeredness,"which is
my problem, my issues, my pain." But one of the easiest ways to
get rid of
pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds
of thousands
of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for
her.
It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened
her
character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given
her a
testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of
life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder.
For instance,
this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million
copies, it
made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal
with before.
I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego
or for you
to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money,
notoriety and
influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me
decide what to
do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change
our
lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a
salary from the
church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The
Peace Plan to
plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the
sick, and
educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24
years since I
started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to
be able to
serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions?
Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness?
Materialism? Or am
I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and
say, God, if I
don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and
love You
better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list.
He's more
interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.
