PASTOR REVEREND JAMES DAVID MANNING OF ATLAH WORLDWIDE INSULTS BARACK OBAMA AND HIS CONGREGATION VIDEO

Everyone is talking about Barack Obama's controversial pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright at Trinity United Church of Christ.  But we must take a moment to mention Harlem payroll preacher Rev. James David Manning from Atlah Worldwide. The Reverend James Manning  PhD. posts his sermons on youtube and we must admit his pulpit lectures are funnier than SNL. The first time we saw or heard about Pastor Manning we actually thought he was a scripted comedian. Later we learned that Pastor Manning is a preacher with a respectable resume including having held corporate jobs as a marketing executive with Proctor & Gamble and Ford Motor Company.  Despite our knowledge of Pastor Manning's background we still weren't prepared to hear the harsh words or ideas that he was preaching.

We've included one of Pastor Manning's sermons called "Obama Got a White Mama. In the sermon Pastor Manning attacks Barack Obama and calls his whole congregation "maggots" and "despicable hypocrites without honor or integrity" because they didn't vote for Hillary Clinton and are supporting Barack Obama. This part of the diatribe begins at around 2:30 minutes. During the sermon Reverend James Manning claims not to be endorsing Hillary Clinton's campaign, but continues to advocate for the Clintons telling everyone how the community benefited from Bill Clinton's financial support. Reverend Manning makes sure to include a part in the sermon where he says "black men don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of." James Manning continues his words of wisdom by making broad generalizations about the entire Black community by calling "all black men pimps and playas and black women playa lovers". Towards the end of his message around the 8:08 minute mark he also evokes the wrath of God and condemns his congregation to "boiling egg shells to make soup and scraping up pigeon droppings to make gravy to put on egg shells to eat."

The irony of the "Obama Got a White Mama" sermon is it's somewhat similar to how Boondocks creator and satirist Aaron McGruder envisioned Martin Luther King Jr. might preach to his congregation if he were still alive today. Watch the Nightline interview below.

Rev. James David Manning also criticizes Oprah Winfrey who supports Barack Obama's campaign. Watch Oprah Winfrey has Jungle Fever.

The Hon. James David Manning, PhD was interviewed on Wednesday, 20 June 2007 by FOX 5 News Talk John Gibson Show about the presidental candidate Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

There is far more truth in Rev. James Mannings rants - in between the scathing language - than in anything Rev. Wright has said in his far left wing, America-hating diatribes. Rev. Wright supports "liberation theology" which is a fancy term for socialism which has failed wherever it has been tried - ask India and China. Apparently, he would like the US to be more like Zimbabwe and Cuba. > Rev. Manning wants blacks to be truly independant. He ridicules blacks who still cite slavery after 500 years, he ridicules affirmative action programs as demeaning to blacks who only demand these programs when it suits them - not in sports and entertainment where they dominate - and he exposes the NAACP and the African-American leadership as being harmful to the community as a whole, while benefitting themselves personally. > If you cut through the crap to the meat and potatoes, Rev. Manning would be far more beneficial to the advancement of blacks. >
i think that this is a very dangerous man that needs to be silenced.He calls himself a man of God but i think that he is more from the father of all lies which we call the devil!This man should not be allowed to stay in anyones pulpit.He takes GOD'S word out of context and puts lies in the mouth of GOD, he is no better than those people that are in Iraq strapping bombs to children in the name of their god. He is leading his people straight to hell.
David Manning is more cult leader than preacher. He concentrates on every bad thing any black person has done since the beginning of recorded history. He uses language in his pulpit I wouldn't expect in a brothel. He belittles all black men everywhere, blames them for every evil that has befallen mankind and obviously hates being black himself. He has absolutely no uplifting messages of love and redemption. Even the most fiery preacher, including Rev. Wright, puts some balance in their preaching and teaching. Not Manning. I don't believe he is dangerous, he is just hateful and foolish. One day he'll be off the scene just like Jim Jones and David Koresch. I just hope he doesn't take anyone to destruction like they did.
Bill and Hillary Clinton must be paying wild-assed preachers like Rev Manning big bucks to make the lame remarks that he has been making. What he really needs to talk about is the habits of the typical black male who leaves his wife and kids and leaves school in the 8th grade for a quick buck and drug money. The black family is now only 28% intact but was 75% intact in 1964. Bottom line: People like you and Manning are the reason black people are called "niggers".
Sick minded people will do any thing.
Bottom line: People like you and Manning are the reason black people are called "n******". Wrong. There is absolutely no reason to call anyone that name. Thanks for playing, good luck next time.
Give the man a listen....Get off your butts and stop whining because your great-great-great granpa sold your great granpa to my great-great-granpa...I had nothing to do with. You had nothing to do with it. Let's just forget what our colors are and get back to work....
My first introduction to the Rev. Manning. Please contune the good work and showing us the other side of the story. Plese send me the address of your church, so that when I am in New York I can visit and shake your hand.
little boy james david manning, nonminister extraordinaire is nothing but TRASH with the NERVE to label someone else trash. He talks about what his MAMA and his GRANDMAMA taught him. Maybe all of them should check themselves. I feel sorry for the people who has the nosight to attend him church and/or to allow him to stay there. small letters for a small boy. BIG letters give a lesson. hey little boy pot with the NERVE to call the kettle black, why don't you jump in the lake and put yourself out of your misery.
Keep up the good work Rev Manning.People need to open their eyes and their Bibles.I agree with you 100%.
"... i think that this is a very dangerous man that needs to be silenced." "...This man should not be allowed to stay in anyones pulpit." What I think is dangerous is people like you who so glibly trample on the idea of freedom of speech and freedom of religion whenever someone else says something they don't like. The man must be silenced? The man must not be allowed at the pulpit? Sounds too much like the old fascists to me, and that's truly is scary!
Wow! Unbelievable, what a waste of airtime. I agree with the last post about abusing your freedom of speech. It'll be alright if he wins or not. He has one thing on his side and that is GOD! For the person who said "open their Bibles" read Matthew 7:1-5 and remind the pastor while your at it.:-) "Barack the vote"
You are one sick person. You are a disgrace to the christian . Jesus never talked about people the way you do. You are not of GOD, you're of the devil. You're leading your congrigation to hell. You preach hate and I feel that you need to be band from using a computer or being on you tube. You DISCUSS me.You're one sick PUPPY.
REV. Wright is an out of control, piece of crap. He needs to be stopped. He is racist no good for nothing he needs to have his minister lic. taking away and the church needs to be closed. We do not need someone like him even thinking of preaching anywhere in the United States.
Is david james manning still alive? I haven't heard from the "maggot" in a while. He proves that he himself is a "dispicable hypocrite with no honor or integrity" because he showed his level of ingnorance, stupidity and the fact that he is nothing but a dumb piece of turd because he had the ass-backward nerve to insult someone from "a pulpit." The "thing that he is" wanted to be recognized so he chose the avenue to make people think that he had a point of view. Not. Now because that black man has "a pot to piss in" and "window to throw it out", he is what he labels black men to be -- he chooses in insult the others by proving that he himself is a TRUE "pimp", the TRUE "playa" and a TRUE "black woman playa lover".  I say that because isn't his wife a black woman?  If that is so, either he is a black woman lover or he doesn't love her at all.  That is something that she should examine. If she didn't have sense to "kick him to curve" by now, she should be ashamed of herself for having no pride and of him no sense and not honor and integrity, and for not giving people the credit for having the mind to make their own decisions. What kind of respect does she have for God or for herself or for the Black race or for anything she personally observe his showing his ultimate lack of respect for all of them.  All I can say is that I truly feel sorry for her. For david james manning, the trash that I know he is, I feel nothing.
Well first of all i thought that James Manning was a comedien (top rate sartirist of what is wrong in the black community), then I thought that he was a silly, dangerous baffoon. Now I do believe that the poor guy is just plain crazy, posessed by the Demons of self hatred for being the embodiment of the worst nigger stereotype. I mean Manning gave up a good corporate job and ended up in jail for burglary. He also admits to abandoning his family and choosing to be on the streets. Obama is the very antithesis of the type. He is brilliant, eloquent, ambitious and dedicated to family and seems destined to do great things. He inspires an entire planet. Manning envies Obama because he sees in Obama what he Manning could have been had he made the right choices. I understand Manning's madness; I do not understand the idiots who sit in his church and listen to his rants.
Rev Manning, and I use the term loosley. You are a pig. How dare you. Get a grip man and take your meds.
