www.vladtv.com - "I don't consider myself Black mainly because I'm not, and I don't consider myself an African-American because I'm not that either. I'm a Christian. I'm an American."
Yesterday we released the first clip of the candid Pastor Manning speaking to VladTV correspondent Lord Jamar. In today's clip, the two vocal men continued their conversation on the plight of Black society, and according to the controversial pastor, Black people have themselves to blame for the predicament they put themselves in. "We kinda have a violent energy that we have built up over the years that gives us a reputation of 'shoot first, ask questions later,'" he tells Lord Jamar. "And we gotta work on that."
In this clip Dr. James David Manning speaks on police brutality, Bill Cosby, and why he doesn't see himself as an African-American, but rather a Hamite. "I don't know if that color is the defining moment of who I am," he states as he proceeds to lists races that are "Blacker than" him. He also talks about the night he was arrested in Miami for burglary, an incident he still denies to this day. "I'm telling you I had not done a burglary that night," Pastor Manning recalls as he details the beating he received by police that evening.
Watch on and find out why Pastor Manning will continue "standing with Cosby" amidst his numerous allegations, and why when it comes to cops, he doesn't see the "respect for life" he did decades ago. "I think police are on drugs. I think they've all gone wild," he claims.
