Coco Brother CNN Debate"Black in America"

[Thedarksecret1]

Doesn't Don Lemon remind you of Thomas Dubois on the Boondocks cartoon?

[GoDontStop777]

does any else notice how Coco brother gets cut off ,,, each time he starts to bring up jesus's name???? is that way God said ..... For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places....

[EYEOFASERPENT]

coco america eh

[d1600]

politics needs to be scrutinized by the church but never endorsed by the church. has anyone else noticed that the church people who do wrong seem to say the "fall short" statement?

[d1600]

politics needs to be scrutinized by the church but never endorsed by the church

[CarlaMills]

We have so much work to do !!!!!

The Mills Connection Show...

[Radiance230]

Just a thought. When the media talks about black america, why do they go to Atlanta? Am sure Atlanta is a microcosm of the entire black America. Very interesting.

[sandroeleven]

I like how every time the cap man mentions religion, he gets cut off...

[leka1622]

Stop arguing about politics and start READING, I cant link but just go to google and find the electoral college webpage.

[blahblahblahman]

VOTING DOESN'T MATTER.

Do not for one second believe that your vote counts. Stop believing the hype people, please. Every elected president already knew that they would be elected to the office. This is all decided before-hand. If not one single black person voted for Obama, he would still be the president. He was already promised the office.

[fatherjon908]

@blahblahblahman lol you have no idea what you are talking about. If you look at each individual vote, then yes obviously one vote is not going to make a difference.

[TheSKYizFalling]

@blahblahblahman THANK-YOU! I'm so sick of the crap-ola--- The u.s and all these other corporation countries have already elected their ceo presidents.

[karmelabun]

Obama may very well be leading us all toward a One World Government; governmenatal health care would give them just what they want to bring us closer to a NWO. Wake Up Christians - look out side the box. Do your research on one world currency and nwo. It's coming and we're sleeping.

[sandroeleven]

@karmelabun Wake up christians is right...they need to be open to reality and not fallicy. Religion, religion, religion.

[karmelabun]

You're praising Pres Obama on your talk show when he denies Jesus Christ our Lord! See CNN News brief where he contacted Georgetown University to insure that all symbols and name of Jesus Christ were covered. Yet, you promote him because he's black. Be careful - the devil comes to deceive!

[karmelabun]

This is what's wrong with the church today. It's asleep! You can't tell the world from the church. Jesus said we are to be a light unto the world; not compromise with it.

[karmelabun]

I have listen to your broadcasting and have to agree that politics should not be in the church. I believe most of your viewers are agreeing to Pres Obama's agenda basically due to his outer exterior. It is my understanding that Obama ask the Georgetown University to remove Jesus's name and symbols referring to Jesus Christ. In addition, I saw a video here on you tube where Pres Obama refused to pledge allegiance to our flag.

[TheONLYMrsMorales]

I love how Min. Condrey is totally evangelising right on throught the convo! Awesome- Evang. Joann Rosario COndrey and Coco have to be a wonderful pair in ministry

[Reneefah7]

That's because you are not mentally capable enough to live that life. So I'm glad you are not too. Your life is saved.

[Reneefah7]

Ya Mom.

[LadyMooreJazz]

I am so sick of religion. They don't have a clue what the Church is designed for.

We all HAVE fallen short, but that should never be an excuse to remain a slave to sin. If you can't stop fornicating, clubbing, doing drugs, living a homosexual lifestyle, lying, stealing, etc you r a SLAVE TO SIN. So think about who your master is.

Righteous living all the way!

This people and others need to stop acting like they represent Christ... "Spirit of HipHop"... there's his god right there.

[Chanichew]

coco brother is awesome, and unafraid!! I am inspired

[nicelinguist]

Oh God (figuratively speaking). What about black atheists? Where's the black atheists in America series?

[Pygmonicus]

lol good luck getting that to happen on TV

[slicingwater]

This is what is killing black America, religion.

[kontredawg]

probably not.

[keistev]

HUH?

[keistev]

And go to HEll, No thanks!

[keistev]

catering to minorities, They have to do something, they know doom awaits them. OH yes, my friend, there is no getting around it. YOUR WEAPONS will be as nothing. YHWH is coming, Thankyou JESUS, to rescue HIS from the snare of their enemies!!!!!!!

[keistev]

So do you! The time has come for your downfall, this USA as you know it, is headed for destruction for the sins aganist their brother, but you believe, you are secure, NO my brother you are doomed. May the God of Jacob have mercy on your soul. No need to reply, Wait on it!

[kontredawg]

The God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David, and Jesus. We're talking about YHVH? The Almighty God that gave us YE'SHUA to forgive mankind of sin?

I live in the US and yes I see it happening right before my eyes. Most in the US are so ignorant to the fact that God is not happy with this country and what it stands for, but yet they don't understand why we're struggling so much.

The US (and the WORLD) will bow to God in the end and the righteous will rise to a new begining, Wait on this.

[Newhope04]

I could not have said it any better. You are absolutely telling the truth and what is to come. The world better wake up and realize that these calamities are not happening just because. God is not pleased with what is going on and the world is crying out to be rescued from Sin. We all better make sure that we are to BE READY WHEN JESUS COMES!

[parkman35]

To quote Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket..."Hey jungle bunny...thank God for the sickle cell...."

[opinionatorX]

They must have heard about one of the most controversial teachers of this day G Craige Lewis. Check him out! Bro is deep!

[IwasBorn2Win]

LOL your ignorance can't even be articulated in words.

[ElGuerreroSolo]

those words have nothing to do disrespect or not, they are words used for emphasis. and for that matter all words associated with the bad word should be curse word then. if "the dreaded s word" is "profane" then crap, doodoo, feces, and all words of the like should be curse words too. let's just band talking and freedom of speech all together...o wait that's already happening....i think there's bigger fish to fry than a "VULGAR WORD", i don't prehaps like the one in this video???

[ElGuerreroSolo]

"valley girls" redundantly uses the word "like", that shows a lack of intelligence, don't let society brainwash you, the word "cunt" used to be an accepted euphimism, but for whatever reason now it's a "BAAAAAAAAAAAD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD" OMGORSH, we are all going too diiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee.....give me a break....

[IwasBorn2Win]

SBTGO80, Do you have to go there in the gutter with your comments? Please watch your language, we do have kids on here reading and watching. Let's not insult anyone's intelligence on here, when you yourself have lack greatly in displaying self control, knowledge & ingenuity skills in your comments.

[IwasBorn2Win]

SBTGO80 continuing my comments, Give it a rest please! Now of course, I am probably going to be called every name in the book by you, which would only bring proof to my statement about you, that your vocabulary skills, not to mention ethical, and educational skills is no higher than flower pots IQ. Anyone who goes off the deep end, and excuses people for being ignorant when that person has stated a concrete answer, is afraid of a challenge or your medicine has expired!

[horrorscriptwriter12]

There is a CNN special on every DAY about what's wrong in white America.

[horrorscriptwriter12]

A) What is Wikipedia?

B) You need anger management, because no one was putting you down.

C) It looks like the end of my post did not appear so I'll post it again...

... I was responding to the fact that you wrote that people complained until they received affirmative action. I guess those people would be women, veterans, the handicap, religions, and even different white cultures that were discriminated against. You can still find photos online of signs that read: "No Irish Need Apply".

[Dubiousness92]

Next year babies pop out. Fathers wouldn't be fathers when they aren't ready and things would be better for the children with capable parents.

But anyways, let's not disregard the equally poor white kid in these same situations either.

[horrorscriptwriter12]

I agree. And there is discrimination of poor whites by wealthy white people all the time. On TV and in reality.

[Dubiousness92]

Affirmative action is supposed to make things more equal, and while I support it, it isn't working. Look, the success of a person is ussually defined by their education and if their parents pushed them to work harder. Unfortuantly, in the poor black communities, this seems to be too common. Oddly enough I blame the education department for that (In Health they disregard condoms and birth prevention things completely in the books and expect kids not to have sex because of it.

Next year....

[IwasBorn2Win]

hmmm I agree with your comments to a certain extent.

[shaydm06]

bitch i don't sit around complaining about white people. I IGNORE them and go about my life. obviously ur doing all the complaining. why? mad because ur so stupid u still can't succeed in a land your own forefathers stole and killed off the people for your sake?

[horrorscriptwriter12]

Shaydm06

I think you just solved SBTGOG89's psychological problem. He could be ranting and raving on everyone because he can't succeed in what he perceives to be his white country.

But to be fair I have seen what wealthier white people say and do to poor white people. Yet people of color get the blame.

[horrorscriptwriter12]

To: SBTGOG89:

The actual phrase "affirmative action" was first used in President John F. Kennedy's 1961 Executive Order 10925 which requires federal contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin." The same language was later used in Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order 11246.

[horrorscriptwriter12]

SBTGOG89:

You should brush up on your definitions.

Affirmative action is the set of public policies and initiatives designed to help eliminate past and present discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, when it is under attack.

[horrorscriptwriter12]

SBTGOG89 clearly never went to school. So sad. Let me educate you. Every American gets the same grant from the United States.

If you want additional money you have to apply for a SCOLORSHIP which usually requires you to write an essay.Yes they have them for black Americans. They also have them for women, artists, writers, music, low income people, etc. If you want to call that a hand out, then yes it is.

[ElGuerreroSolo]

i dont see it as a had out but more so an assitance, college is so fucking expensive, it's ridiculous. but seriously stop wasting your time with this loser, worry about u, u have ur principles and ur smart about it. u crush dude or girl, or he-she, so dont even worry about it, peace!

[IwasBorn2Win]

El Guerrero, hey come on now, do u have to use profanity? please yall. I am not judging you, but holding you accountable. We have can intelligent, clean, respectful debate, without acting unethical. We got kids on here watching and reading. alright? God Bless

[ElGuerreroSolo]

profanity has nothing to do with being unethical these words are deemed unethical by society. it was called vulgar language because vuglar used to mean common, and it still does. so vulgar language jus mean common language and another thing, it's just society that a word is bad or profane? i dont limit myself to society's standards, so yes i have to use "profanity" as u call it because they are just word and using any other word repetitively can show lack of intelligence like when surfer's or...

[IwasBorn2Win]

Okay clearly El Guerrero has Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Can U believe he is giving me a Harvard lecture and psychological history on Cussin. Please come back 2 earth! Dude, listen, any way U dress it up, its profanity, lets look that up: the use of profane language, the lack of respect in speech. With that said, Im not asking U 2 be the next Pope, I am kindly asking that U show a little bit more respect in your speech,2 kids who are watching this video for a class project. Thats all!

[ElGuerreroSolo]

so i have to be crazy just because i'm talking about the etymology of "curse" words ideologically? now you're being condescending and i don't appreciate that. GUESS WHAT I AM ON EARTH JERK. you only view these words as bad because society has told ur whole they are bad. like i said people are brainwashed. words can mean anything you want it to mean, 15 years ago the word crib only meant a place where a baby sleeps, now it also means a house, so dont speak to me like im an imbecile ok?

[IwasBorn2Win]

No your LOGIC is crazy! Turning a simple request, 2 this class lecture on the origin of bad language is nonsense! Neither do I appreciate U trying 2 turn this matter into some senseless debate. Not 2 be rude,but I can care less about your intellect on speech, that seems 2 psychologically twist the English language 2 justify your point & way is correct. This is not about right or wrong, ALL I kindly asked if U could consider others (like children) who maybe reading the comments.Thank U kindly

[Youngbee30]

Black people does not get fair treatment with the law and workplace. Racism does exist,now and forever. Black churches were designed during segregation because of the separate but equal clause of the Jim Crow Laws. Please! All of these other countries and nations invented the slave trade. We are not talking about them. I am tired of people with such racists' attitudes towards blacks, whites, hispanic, and other nationalities. There is no black america becauses white folks runs America.

[shaydm06]

and who he fuck is bitching for handouts? maybe we just want to be treated like we're truly apart of the american country. i wish they would do away with affirmative action so white people like you can stop using that bullshit against us like we don't have our own brains. I don't accept any kind of handout from the govt but the college grants that my WHITE friends also get. so fuck you and ur racist ranting.

[IwasBorn2Win]

Shaydmo6,

You are way to intelligent to let SBTGO89 to pull you in the gutter. Let him go off on his KKK temper tantrums, as long as he dones't put his hands on you to harm U. He is full of HOT air! He is not even fit for the trash, and yet you are holding a conversation with him? Make him pull out his hair, blow real steam by shining, being comfortable in your skin, and be the best darn person you can be. I smell intimidation on this person, so give him a run for his money! LOL

[shaydm06]

racism and the slave trade are two completely things. and yes racism does date back thousands of years but that doesn't make it right for some people to act and feel the way they do. and since when have black people been getting special treatment? we've only had our fucking civil rights for about 50 years. but ur an ignorant racist so u wouldn't understand anyway...

[playermodelz]

wtf

[PARKEREAL]

HEY I AM WHITE

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Things don't go well for Blacks because you all have a built-in "give me, give me" DNA and refuse to study and work hard. Remember, it was Chris Rock who said: "Books is like cryptonite to niggers!"

[ElGuerreroSolo]

ok ur takin what he said out of context, and dont u see 4 educated people debating? also when chris rock said that he meant the ignorant. he said there are niggas and then there are black people. niggas i guess the ignorant black, and black the smart, know how to act black. peace

[keistev]

Wrong! Do you live in the USA? DOOM Central! HA HA. You all are so funny, I just get a kick out of it. YOUR FACE will be GHOSTLIKE when GOD reveals who HIS really is!!! then and only then will people like you will shut their mouths, and if you don't. I feel sorry for you, there is no hope for you. but you will be given a chance, it is up to you. READ THE BIBLE, and ask for understanding. Thats my help to you. GOD BLESS ALL of US!!!!!

[PARKEREAL]

the problem with the so called blk church, it was not desighned by blacks it was desighned by slave masters. although they do alot of good no dought about that, it will always stay in its place. twist this truth the way you want but at the end of the day it is the truth

[PARKEREAL]

when do things ever go good for blacks. ask yourself this , would you be comfortable being a average blk person ha? did think so shut the fuck up

[EternalTDG]

SBTGOG89,

Sir I hate that term race card because it gives racists as yourself the feeling that racism is not real and that its the figment of the imagination of a person of color. Some cases are not, but MOST are.Remember we did not create racism...you did.

[Wormanatti]

All that being said sounds like the church must compromise. That's wack. I kinda agree with Russ Parr for the most part. There has to be a standard or line of demarcation when it comes to church and the world. We need to maintain a call for holiness. The call for righteousness must never be compromise. At the end of the day it's not for everybody. Somebody got to go to hell. Somebody going to heaven. Church gone wild. No more Ministry mostly Industry now a days. Christ has to be the FOCUS.

[anthonydjo]

Frank Ski said it best. "The church is a living breathing creature." Hey i'm just repeating what the man said.

[anthonydjo]

Of course politicians target their good ole' faithful sheep. The church is part of the scam on America. This CNN special should be called Being Scammed in America.

[rogermoore27]

and one of the guests Cocoa Brother said 'and has not came'. Is he duncy?

[rogermoore27]

just look at rapper DMX.

[yodigme]

whats going on now in the real world! this is what people my age can relate to. i cant relate to the hooping and screaming i dont understand it because in the end what did i learn? i got happy danced a lil bit ect ect but did i learn anything that i can take with me?. so i guess, whatever floats your boat, but you got some crooked pastors in smaller churches to, dont just point out the million dollar ones.

[nwilliejingram]

I wasn't just pointing out the million dollar, mega churches, you were!!! Your first comments only mentioned those mega churches. And yes there are smaller churches that are crooked.

[yodigme]

I was pointing out mega churches because of the method in which they teach. i didnt say anything negative abou them. im not misconstructing your argument at all. all im saying is what your saying yes is your theory, however, when you said the bible doesnt speak on success. you were incorrect. i was just proving my point. back to the point. the teachings of the church. i support prosperity preachers. i also beleive that what we are experiencing in life should be addressed in church in a way that

[yodigme]

God sees it and says it should be. it starts in the church and then goes into our communities if we take it there. but if we are not learning nething, the right way things should be done according to God, it will never reach our communities. This is where we mess up.

[yodigme]

to add about the news about the mega churches. i cannot speak for them all, but i think the biggest case was creflos case. when you look at the video on here they really dont have a case.everything is justified. and if he is doing something wrong God will deal with him. everybody always hate on people who are doing better than they are, especially black people. im not the one to judge, but my point was they are attracting millions of people because they are teaching the word as it relates to

[yodigme]

Start from the bottom to understand the comments. i didnt have enough room.

[nwilliejingram]

Brother, I think that you have a HUGE misconception of the church. The church is not a place of business, for a minute I was wondering if you were being sarcastic. The church should be separate from the world. God does want us to be successful, but He doesn't say in His word that He wants us to be millionaires and get all the money that you can.

[yodigme]

i didnt say anything about becoming a millionaire or getting all the money you can because its not all about money. Its about love and goodwill. However, God says seek yea first the kindom of God and all shall be added unto you. He will fulfil the desires of your heart. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.- Proverbs 8:21

[yodigme]

Deuteronomy 15:6

For the LORD your God will bless you as He has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.

[yodigme]

This is why i admire pastors and ministers such as creflo dollar, gary taylor, larry warner, ect. They are true teachers. Many people dog mega churches but you know why they are mega churches? Becuase they are connecting the church and whats outside the church. Its time out for the hooping and hollaring. Its time for teaching and learning how to become successful in the world according to what God says!

[nwilliejingram]

(MOney is the root of all evil) If you get money and become successful then thats fine too, but reallistically a lot of us will never become Oprah and look at her she's starting her own church now, saying that there is another way to get to God (ridiculous).And money is good to have, but why do you think that so many marriages fall apart? Thats right, MONEY.

[yodigme]

It depends on how you look at it brother. if you are truely a christian and seek God for all of your understanding you will see that its all about perception. I know several christains who are very well off. you dont let money define who you are. you came into this world naked and you will leave the same. a tru christian who follows God understands this and doesnt idolize money or things.

[yodigme]

and this is not the reason marraiges fall apart. they fall apart from lack of communication and understanding and most importantly a real love and trust for God.

[yodigme]

when i speak of success I speak of health, family, socially, financially, and economically. the bible speaks of prosperity all throughout it. proserity is success. yes it does say its easier for a camel, however answer me this? how can you help your brother and gods people if you dont have anything? isnt this gods purpose? to help our brosnsis n spread his word? how can you do that when your living in poverty?

[yodigme]

Ill say this. I would rather have money than be broke! success and prosperity in my family, health, community ect. I choose wealth and prosperity. ill just take it up with God when i die cause he knows my heart. another thing God already tells us hes gonna give us he desires of our hearts. when do you expect that to happen? on earth. then when we get to heaven we can share in his riches. im sorry but i jus cannot believe that outta all the Rich peep in the world God wants his to b broke!

[nwilliejingram]

I'm not saying be broke! Never once did I say be broke!!! You just read my comments that I e-mailed to you! You are getting on another tangent!!! We are talking about the conduct in church and what the church should be teaching. You are straying away from the real arguement!!! Like I said, our greatest example was not "well off"!!! So what does that tell you??? I said money aint everything, not to be broke. Stop misconstruing my arguement!!! These are my final words. Oh an read your e-mail.

[yodigme]

bro y are you getting upset. dont you know that anger and uncontrolled temper is that of a fool. we are just having a simple debate. you have your view I have my own. im sorry if i misconstrued ur argument. im just making a point.

[nwilliejingram]

How do you know what God wants, if all you are concerned about is YOUR prosperity??? The argument is not about whether you should be broke about, but it is about what she be taught and said in the churh and how you think that the church is a "business", if you will.

[yodigme]

the reason i say the church is a bizniss is because of how the church is ran. it is a business that saves souls. thats what business we are in. i know what God wants because i have a personal relationship with him. My prosperity is not all im concerned about. all im suggesting is that God didnt mean for us not to ejoy the riches of the world. He says in his word that if we follow him he will give us the desires of our hearts. if my heart desires wealth whether it be spiritual or financial then

[yodigme]

it is so.

[yodigme]

they focus too much on the hooping and hollaring ect and forget to teach! christains need the word! yea all the other stuff music preaching ect is entertaining and uplifting but give me the word. I need to know what i need to be doing to be successful acording to Gods word! Therefore in order to do so, issues outside the church need to be brought into the church. We dont live in the church, we live in the world outside of the church.

[nwilliejingram]

Now you can take that to the bank.The gospels never really talk about being succesful, but they do talk about denying yourself. And as far as the church being a business I think that is what is wrong with SOME churches today! If the church was a place of business we would all be in trouble! The church is place of fellowship!!! A place where one can find love and hope for their despair. I take care of business the other five days of the week.

[yodigme]

to add, politics is all around us and will always be. whether we admit it or not, the church is a business as well as other things. and within a business your going to have politics. whos going to be elected as the next pastor or decon ect. I firmly beleive that the church is suppose to focus on how we can become successfull in this life and thats where a lot of churches are missing out.

[nwilliejingram]

Yes the state was founded on the church, but the state has gotten in line with the world, not the church! After all they are legalizing gay marriages. I think that YOU should start from the beginning and read God's word in order to understand the purpose of the church! After all, why do you think that when Jesus chose Matthew, Matthew stopped being a tax collector? And the bible also says that it is harder for a rich man to enter into heaven than a cammel to enter in through the eye of a needle

[yodigme]

I disagree with Russ on the subject that politics and church should be separate and topics of such should not be discussed in the church. Yes the church is a place for reformation, to find peace and encouragement. However. how can the church and state be separate when state was founded on the church in the first place?

[nwilliejingram]

.Haven't you seen the investigations going on in the mega churches? Are being serious? Oh and the only point I do agree with you on is the fact that politics can be discussed in church, after all Jesus would not have us be ignorant.

[yodigme]

I disagree with Russ on the subject that politics and church should be separate and topics of such should not be discussed in the church. Yes the church is a place for reformation, to find peace and encouragement. However. how can the church and state be separate when state was founded on the church in the first place?

to add, politics is all around us and will always be. whether we admit it or not, the church is a business as well as other things.

[darrenapollo]

good conversation andkeep it coming

[Serene2012]

Them White people trained a beast, they ain't afraid of nothing.
