What Group of People Will Become Kim Burrell's Next Victims?
By Nancy Lockhart
In Christianity, ministers are authorized by churches or organizations to provide spiritual guidance within the church and community. Watching a minister spew such hate and venom from the pulpit was shocking. My initial reaction was - "she has a personal vendetta against someone" I'm wondering what caused this blatant disrespect and un-Godly message from the pulpit. What ever the cause, I feel that the Black church has more to talk about. What about saving some souls? What about uplifting poor people who are most certainly going to face difficult times in 2017. What about police murders, homeless people and the list goes on indefinitely.
No, this woman found the need to stand in the pulpit with tights on - spewing HATE and Venom. I find this very Ungodly.
In Response to Petition in Support of Kim Burrell:
One of the things you're missing is the fact that she certainly did not have a problem taking gay people's money. She was happy to work on an album with openly gay Frank Ocean. She was very happy to accept money for this upcoming movie, aren't gay people in the movie or didn't GAY people produce the movie? I'm not certain. She was Happy to go on Ellen's show to perform promotions for the upcoming movie. Those shows pay appearance fees. (Thankfully she was cancelled) Karen Burrell would have taken GAY Ellen's money. Is this money perverted? No I'm not in support of this at all. Standing in church brutally criticizing a particular sector of people (not knowing a camera is filming) and working with them for HUGE FINANCIAL GAIN is hypocritical in the Christian faith, last time I checked. I cannot support hypocritical actions. Individuals as such seem to find reasons to continuously attack.
What group of people will the next victims come from?

Descendants of Cherokee Freedmen Are Being Denied Tribal Rights
Descendants of Cherokee Freedmen Are Being Denied Tribal Rights Dec 21, 2016 | 517 videos Video by America Reframed Most Americans are familiar with the Trail of Tears, when Cherokees were removed from their native lands and forced west. However, the involvement of African Americans is less known. When the U.S. Indian Removal Act forced many Native Americans to move, enslaved Africans also followed them into the frontier. After the U.S. banned slavery, men and women who were enslaved in the Cherokee Nation were granted freedom and full tribal membership—they were called Cherokee Freedmen. This excerpt from the new documentary By Blood, by America Reframed, looks at the current legal battle for tribal rights that descendants of the Freedmen are embroiled in. Both the Cherokee and Seminole Nations began denying citizenship to Freedmen descendants, arguing that they are not members of their tribe “by blood.” Watch the full film here. Author: Nadine Ajaka

Dear President Obama
Nancy Lockhart, M.J.
November 22, 2016
The White House
President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear
President Obama:
I worked
very hard to get you elected as president of the United States and many other
people did as well. I coordinated
rallies across the United States through Nation for Change and registered many
to vote. One of your campaign staff
members promised me a job upon you becoming president. Madura something or, other from Australia. He Lied.
I remained disappointed but, proud of you. I'm a great organizer and
used my skills to assist. I've been very proud of you as president of the
United States, now I am not. I am honestly ashamed of actions with the Dakota
Access Pipeline at this current moment.
I know that
as the President and as a lawyer, you're able to stop the savage brutality of
Water Protectors at Standing Rock. I also know that you are able to stop this
Dakota Access Pipeline from going through sacred grounds and under the Mo.
River.
You've
stated that you were going to let this play out for a couple of weeks, as a
matter of fact, that statement was made on November 1, 2016. Well, a couple of
weeks are over. How much longer will this be allowed to play out? This is not a computer game of wild, wild,
west. Native American lives are at stake: their water, their food and
everything else that it takes to live on this earth is at stake. United States
Treaties have been broken.
I've watched the live stream videos of police
and firemen spraying unarmed, praying, Water Protectors with cold water in sub
degree temperatures. The Barack Obama
that I Thought I Knew, wouldn't allow this. I haven't been president therefore; my hair isn't
as grey but, it’s getting there. This DAPL situation is causing wrinkles to come
around my mouth just as yours.
I understand
that Donald Trump stands to gain 25% profits upon completion of this pipeline.
I also read that he invested upwards of 2 million dollars in this
pipeline. You've taken the high road
throughout your presidency - please continue to take the high road and do the
right thing by our Native brothers and sisters.
I definitely
hope that this letter reaches you. I'm very doubtful but, simply decided to
take my chances.
I realize
that you’ve worked very hard these last eight years. I have as well, for the
past 12 years I’ve worked to free wrongfully convicted inmates. My work released two Mississippi Sisters,
Florida’s Marissa Alexander, brought a stay of execution for Willie Manning and
many more. As I complete work on the
case of Mississippi’s innocent, Carla Hughes this year, please work on and reroute
that pipeline. Make those individuals respect
you and stop the encroachment of Native Lands while also putting a stop to the
brutality and savage treatment by police officers.
#NoDAPL #StandingRock
Don't leave
it for Trump.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Nancy
Lockhart
