I thought you meant it that way, but was hoping you didn't. You don't even know him. Shame on you. What you are saying is absolutely false. Don't take my word for it. Why not inquire of those in other countries Danny visits, or even John Dinzy, Dinzy's Father in law, or Moses Prime, John Lomacang, C.A. Murray, or even Calvin's own brother and sister in law, Curtis and Paula who do a cooking show on 3ABN, or a host of others. You might even question Calvin's Mom and Grandma, who I sat across from and met at Sabbath breakfast during the latest 3ABN campmeeting. The nicest ladies, and his Grandma had the sweetest smile, I very much doubt from all that was said that any of those would agree with you. Ian, She doesn't even know him? Didn't you just recently speak about knowing others by their fruits? I was watching the 10 Commandments Weekend programs this year and heard Danny laughingly tell the Chicago audience about the first time he and Melody were informed they were going to be singing a trio with CA Murray. He had never heard CA sing before and was worried about the result. He then told the crowd that he had gone with his concerns to Mollie and she reassured him in words to the effect of "He's Black, he can sing". He laughed. Others cringed. It is this insensitivity that speaks of problems in the cultural views of some in leadership. There is a huge difference between finding common ground with those of different ethnicities and cultures and cluelessly exploiting stereotypes. It would be lovely if he would desire to learn the difference. PeacefulBe -------------------- Got Peace?

Thank you PB, for your understanding!
