you serve. mike: 90% of african-americans voted for democrats over the last 40 years, and what makes you say we ought to reevaluate how we are voting? what principle is it that drove you to say, i m in the wrong party? i guess, i have to start by saying one of this objectives of my organization is safe the souls of those who are politically lost, and when i examined my own life and god revealed that scripture i started to read my life backwards an wondered what led me to vote or sin that way. in terms of the way i m voting and i realized, images are important and what happened was, in my case when i look at my liefshgs life it is this image of dr. king and kennedy brothers, it was on throw rugs, candlestick holders, across the country and the black community and, it is located in most black homes in most prominent in them to and makes it a family photo and the bible and the last supper and john and robert kennedy became my first cousins
of i guess reflexively democratic for a long, long time and then you made a switch. what led you to decide that maybe your votes weren t moving the right way? 2 corinthians, 13:5 and the message, it says, examine yourself to make sure you are solid in faith and don t drift along take things for granted. mike: a biblical thing. yes, sir and i read it so many times before and it hit me in a way it never did before and i had to examine myself and examine the way i was voting. i was voting contrary to what i believed as a christian. mike: there will be people who will go berserk and you are saying god wants everybody to be a republican and that is not what you are saying. no. it doesn t matter what party mike: he probably does, but, i mean. that will get me in trouble. go ahead, i m sorry. [laughter]. it doesn t matter what party are in, it matters how you vote and the way in which you vote doesn t represent your allegiance to the god you say
