Thousands of African Americans March in Support OF Discrimination

Amazing.

And so it went Saturday morning, as Bishop Eddie Long, senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Church, a predominantly black megachurch in Lithonia, led a march from the King Memorial to Turner Field calling for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

SNIP

Long, who is the pastor of Atlanta's largest church, which claims 25,000 members, issued a statement in which he said the demonstration was not designed "to alienate or separate any group of people."

But some clearly didn't see it that way.

"We want to make it known to them we are not supportive of their platform," the Rev. Antonio Jones said of the stance on same-sex marriage.

Jones, of the Unity Fellowship Church in Atlanta, was among demonstrators who gathered at the King Center to denounce Long's march.


Un-fucking-believable.
