The NAACP promotes civil justice!

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Black leaders, including those in the church, have an obligation to oppose a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in South Carolina, the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III, chief operating officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said Saturday.

"This is not about sexual orientation or about a lifestyle, this is about fairness and equality," Nelson said during an event sponsored by the South Carolina Progressive Network.

. . . .
Rivers, who also spoke on immigration and education, encouraged the crowd to fight against all forms of discrimination, including that against Hispanics and the poor.

He says discrimination is the reason South Carolina requires only a minimally adequate education.

"I think they intentionally don't educate all their children," Rivers said, "And I think the motive is race, economics and greed. The three of those become a grand conspiracy against the public schools in this state."

1. Thank you Rev Rivers for speaking up

and saying what must be said about gay marriage & immigration & education. You must go to the same church as I do.

Where are the rest of the voices? Too initimidated to speak up?

2. Guess so. Sad that more people

do not make the link between gay marriage, immigration and education to civil rights!
