Bishop Eddie L. Long, Cornell West, & Al Sharpton - State Of Black Union 2005

#bishopeddiellong #cornellwest #alsharpton #stateofblackunion #tavissmiley
Segment w/ Bishop Long, Rev. Sharpton, & Cornell West regarding the play George Bush made at Black Preachers, when TD Jakes, Marvin Winans, Bishop Long, and others were invited to the White House. Of course, given some of his policies this raised some concerns for a few. Personally, seeing that during this 2-3 hr discussion, held in HIS CHURCH, they waited to the VERY END to ask him one and only one question and it was concerning this issue, it seems like it was a personal attempt.....maybe for those who never get invited to the White House or whatever (slight jealousy) ...just being honest. Nonetheless, Bishop handled it with class and grace. Check out the dialogue.
Please, NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS!

This conversation needs to come to Africa. @Tavis Smiley can we talk about it please. So much is going wrong and we need to set the record right.

@shanequal555 • Then, you change thing that they didn't. UNITY regardless because you dislikes or likes that other individual(s) if we disagree to agree and come 100% in favor of what will profit us as a people. I don't believe those other groups whenever they accomplish laws pertaining to FBA of 1618 generational descendants. They don't qualify nor can they relate to our inequalities, injustice and continued enslavements into currently 2025. . . . . These enemies whether good or bad or right or wrong, these advocate of Satan who are the heart of these disparaging actions. They support their own for a gain.

David refused to harm to King Saul. God TOLD Laban "DO NOT SAY ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD). It is therefore also written "SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES".

This was taped at New Birth Cathedral which was a brand new building . it even smelled new ! I think Coretta Scott King died this same year or in 2006.
