Men singing: I’m standing in your will…
‘He opened up his sermon by Playing a video with Geraldo Rivera talking about a child wearing a hoodie… Every-time you see someone mugging or robbing, they are in a hoodie.. You are a gangster if you wear a hoodie…
When you see a black or Latino with a hoodie on you tend to cross the street from a person that looks like that, because you want to avoid trouble… Stop wearing the hoodies..He wore an outfit that was inappropriate.” – Geraldo Rivera speaking on this video above I quote…”
I Samuel Chapter 16:7 – 1 Samuel 16:7
New International Version (NIV)
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Sermon Title: “I’m so hood”
Reporter Gerald Rivera – after graduating from the Law School from the University of Pennsylvania.. He went into journalism and went into the practice with one client… The young client who shot their pastor and left them dead in the sanctuary… .Someone from ABC saw that he was very articulate and offered him a job…
ABC News changed his name from Gerald to Geraldo because it did not sound as Spanish.. He changed his name to get a job.. It was Gerald Rivera that discovered how Elvis Presley really died… He said Elvis Presley died of an overdose….
He broke into El Capon estate only to only find beer bottles.. He went to Iraq because he could not get a job here in America… He reported false information from Iraq, resulting in them discovering that Geraldo was 300 miles away and misappropriated his report…
He began to draw a diagram to show where an attack was gong to take place.. He endangered our lives and the sons and daughters that serve in the military,..
Geraldo pushed a woman away during Hurricane Katrina so he could be seen on Tv…
He comes after Don and Rush Limbaugh.. It does not surprise us that he would utter that black and dark skinned males should not wear hoodies because it immediately implicates that you are hood.. He believed that this young man was not only murdered because of Zimmerman’s overzealous behavior but because they had on a hood…
Did the men were on the bridge did they have on hoods
When martin Luther King Jr. was supporting the sanitation workers on the balcony, did he have on a hood?
When A man was killed for looking a t white woman, did he have on a hood..
He suggests that your clothing has something to do with what type of person you are…
Geraldo can be found in the bible.. Joseph had a dream and his father put a multi colored rob on him… They become in contact with him and identify him because of the rob he had on…
A man that comes from 2 lineage of oppression… Jewish side of him and the Hispanic side of him.. .He’s given 5 erroneous reports on the air and is still on TV… When a person reports something out of order, his race sticks with him…
He further warned his son Cruz that he should not go outside with a hoodie on… His son was received as a Jewish man at age 12…
What do you think would be the repercussion of a 17 year old Jewish boy who got killed by a black cop he would be in jail..
We come to tell America that our children are important too!!! Are children matters too! If today if you stand with our children we are not going to let not one more of our kids die with oppression.
Dr. King died back in 1963, but he did not know that today we would be stereotyped by what we wear.. .If every black man that wears a hood is a thug… Every white man from Wall Street is thief!
We have to ask the justice system and FBI, how do you arrest someone who throws flour on Kim Kardashin…
What is the value of our children when they will put Michael Vick in jail over dogs, but will not put a man in jail over our baby that has been killed.
What is Geraldo implying that black men ..
We have the spirit of Maya Angelo… We rise…
It’s some people in the room that has made a difference because we have graduated and did some things that people think we could not do…
God sends in a new leader because the old crew has gotten lazy.. I have to raise up leadership that can work and be amongst the people..
Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere,,,
When Jesse came to the house he said someone in this house is going to be able to lead… God told Samuel, to dare not put the oil on him… We choose people based on how they are dressed…
I’m getting ready to raise up those that have been overlooked… David’s family did not pick him…
The reason why God is getting ready to bless you is because your own family did not see your value,.,, God is getting ready to do something great in your life because of your destiny.,..
He goes down the line, and look at all of his sons… He asked Jesse do you have anyone else…. He said he has not been in church very long.. He has some street in him, but he can walk and get some justice..
I’m not calling people that are politically correct, but I’m calling some people that can shut it down… Those are the people that I’m getting ready to call..
I’m gone call some folks that don’t dot every i and cross ever t because I’m getting ready to use some folks that are a product of his grace.
I want you to know that we are in the middle of history.. We are not just sitting by, but we stand with Trayvon Martin to know that we stand with him.
They have done everything to degrade our President… America, you owe us because we helped built this country… Since you could not give us 40 acres and a mule, you at least owe us to arrest George Zimmerman…
They should arrest him for 1,000’s of black men that were arrested for no cause….
They should arrest George Zimmerman before them black Panther’s get down there…
There is a call for justice… I am proud of you because no violence has taken place…
We know that there is strength in our voice… .Our people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… He will heal the land..
Touch not thy anointed and do my servant no harm….Shout if you know God is going to give you justice….
I so wish I could get to Gerald Rivera because he thinks hoods started in the hood..
He doesn’t know that hoods came from the monks… They used them when they prayed to keep the shame off…
If your enemies are my enemies and your friends are my friends…
The monks put on the hoods so God could not hear my shame…
I’m so glad that when God hears me pray he don’t see how nasty that I am but he still answered by prayers.
He looks beyond my faults and sees me at my needs.
The monks only put on hoods when they are getting ready to pray and getting ready to work.. When you saw them put on a hood they were getting ready to work so they will never be in need…
When you put on your hood, you are letting the world know that we have work to do and loads to lifts… You have to be strong..
If you have your hood on you either have to be praying or working..
Look at your neighbor and say you look suspicious… It was a time that 3 black could not converse at one time because they feared a riot was going to break out..
There are some things you are going to get… We have come to far..
He was bruised for our inequities… Our transgressions..
I’m so hood… I did not come to play church but I came to kill a demon…
Every demon that has tried to take my family.. I’m taking my hood back..
God is getting ready to cover you… I can’t hear anybody!!
Look at your neighbor and praise him like you are going to loose your mind… Give God Ghetto Praise.
This joy that I have, the world did not give it to me and the world can’t take it away…/
HE should have got me back when, Like he got my uncle back when…
Rise, shine, give God the Glory…
Hallelujah…. I can’t hear nobody…. Lift up your voice like God!!!!
Lift up your voice and give God some praise….
Lift up your hands,, and give God some praise..
I don’t want you to get so saved that you lose your street ability…
I pray that God is not only getting ready to bless you, but he is getting ready to bless the whole neighborhood… Open up your mouth like God is getting ready to bless your hood,..
God Change my neighborhood!!!
As that hand is lifted.. . Your hand is serving as an antenna that there will be no drug dealers, pedophiles, or burglars in your neighborhood… If your neighbor’s house lose its value then it effects the whole neighborhood,.,,,
Lift up your voice… .Come on, I can’t hear nobody….
Lift up your voice that your neighborhood is safe that you can let the kids out and play…
I’m praying that God restores the equity in your home…
Lift up your hand and believe that God is getting ready to restore..
Trayvon was not in the hood, but he was in a gated community….
Where really is the hood?
When folks moved to the upscale neighborhood, now they have the same problems that the hood has… If you go to the good neighborhood and you are hood you will impact the neighbored with your hood mentality…
You can have expensive clothes and still no class,.
You are not where you came from.. You are better than where you came. from.
Lord I pray for my brother’s and sisters.. Let them be able to speak to anyone from the street corner to the other offices…
Bless them Lord if they are going to go back and bless the place that blessed them…
Give God your best sound of worship… .
It’s amazing ladies and gentle, the reason why they cannot understand Empowerment Temple,.,, We are not moving to the County…. In the 6 years we have been here, only 3 cars have broken into.. It’s something about the presence of God that don’t only change people but it changes neighborhoods…
You have too much anointing to keep it to yourself… Give to entire communities…
You know when somebody from East Baltimore from West Baltimore… They are getting ready to cross in… In need you to get your bravado own… I need you to jump into your square…
You cannot be in the hood and be shy…. Please sir, and please mam… I need to open the doors of the church because some none want to join our hood…
Give God some praise if you are proud of the church you go to!!!!
Move from where you are, go to every row and ask somebody do you have a church home and do you want to become a member…. I need you to join this church and roll with us…
Invitation Selection: It’ s time now!!!
Aint no church has HOOD as this church!! Empowerment Temple!
You are in the right place at the right time, at the right church, serving the right God!!!
Geraldo: the Hoodie = same level of responsibility as George Zimmerman for Trayvon’s murder
By: Pam Spaulding Friday March 23, 2012 9:31 am
And I guess wearing a skirt is an invitation to rape too, Geraldo. Where do you even begin with this statement? Rivera:“I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”
He then urged those participating in the “Million Hoodie March” for Martin to “leave the hoodie at home,” adding that they cannot hope to “rehabilitate” the clothing item’s image.
So, I better get my fashion police APB straight – are women also to watch out when thinking about purchasing a hoodie? How dark does your skin need to be to “raise the alarm” with scared folks who associate the item with gangsta-chic? What should be the safety wear for young black and Latino men to telegraph they aren’t going to loiter or mug you — as Roland Martin noted, three-piece suits?
This blame-the-victim stuff was going to come around no matter how obvious it is that Trayvon, whose only “weapons” was a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea, was not responsible for his fate – he was hunted down by Zimmerman.
Oh, and my other question – since Geraldo is worried about dark-skinned kids, does this mean we’ll need to administer a brown paper bag test to determine who can wear the hoodie or not?
Bonus! Trayvon Martin 911 Call – Did George Zimmerman Say ‘F*ng Coons’?
Did George Zimmerman, the infamous yet-to-be-arrested shooter of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, say “f*cking coons” in his 911 call? Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks share their take.
