Earlier today, during a speech in Coral Gables, Florida, Obama was interrupted by a group of black people carrying signs denouncing him as a supporter of gay marriage, abortion, and the KKK. At first, Obama supported their right to be there and carry their signs, if they would just let him continue his speech. After interrupting him several more times, the group were escorted out of the building. Who were these protestors, and what were they after?
Calling themselves “Blacks Against Obama,” they alleged that Obama has been endorsed by the KKK, and that “Jessie Jackson Hates Obama.” Their home-made signs had the words “Michael Warns” on the bottom, which links to the website www.michaelwarns.com.
The site is almost entirely devoid of content, except for listing an address somewhere in Miami and a link to the site, www.michaeldefeatssatan.com. The second link is a lot more fruitful in terms of content, despite sharing the similarly unfinished qualities of the first site. Almost all of the links are dead, and the content forms are still left from the template the site was designed on: “Page Title Here” and “A quote or missions statement about the firm here” litter the site.
Website design aside, It seems that Michael — or Michael The Black Man as he prefers to be called — is a charismatic preacher who leads a cult-like church that preaches to black men against the evils of women. The e-mail address listed to contact Michael is bigboss1043@yahoo.com, and Michael seems to run a daily video sermon programme where he sings and talks about the ways to redeem “BLACK MEN,” [sic] which mostly seems to be by avoiding any contact of feelings for women. In fact, the ailing of black men in the United States is placed entirely upon the shoulders of black women, child support, and the Democratic Party:
HER NAME IS JEZEBEL, 1/3 OF THE BLACK WOMEN OF AMERICA. This book is written to primarily show the BLACK MAN and the WORLD the true source of their problem…33% of the Black Women of America (BABYLON). GOD is angry with worshipping this WOMAN LILITH the devil.
Michael’s latest sermon begins with: “If you are an Obama supporter, you’re going to be crushed. Because you think that nigger is the shepherd, but the Lord said he will smite the shepherd. So I’ve got to smite him.” As he speaks, a crowd located off camera calls out “yes, sir!” to every comment. He then goes on to call Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah, and other black women whores. For additional flavour, he goes on to comment that “white men are not the devil, they’re too stupid to be the devil.” “Childsupport is hell. Childsupport equals you are a non-entity.”
The site also has an image of Obama with red devils horns painted on top, listing the “reasons not to vote for Obama:”
1. Make child support Federal
2. Believes in abortions
3. Believes in gay marriages
Oprah gets a similar treatment on the site, where she is called the Devil, but little clarification or justification is given, other than that she likely supports woman’s rights.
Frankly, this is nothing but good news for Obama. Why? One of the catchiest group names was just taken up by crazy people. Think about it: John Kerry was nailed by the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth. What could be better for McCain than Blacks Against Obama? If they were 50% less crazy, I’d be willing to bet their group leader would have been booked on Fox News tomorrow. A book would be hurried to press.
But no-one is going to put Michael The Black Man on TV. Obama wins.
OMG!

Wow I followed your research and invited him to my show. I would like to get to the bottom of his cause. I am very disappointed in his cause. I find it striking as a black man that this individual would attack black women and clain some religious right..hopefully I can get to the bottom of his angst and get some reasons behind his attacks.

No feds over child support, huh? How racially stereotypical is that? They could have added, “Obama is against grape drink.” I’m not sure how federalizing child support is a God-level issue, either. Oh, and Obama is against gay marriage, so 1 of the 3 is bogus anyway. If they’re going to fight Satan, they should do more research and realize he’s already in the White House, and I don’t mean W.
They got what they wanted – exposure. But I think ignoring them is the best thing to do now.

I hope one day we taxpayers will stop subsidizing all of these churches or cults or whatever they are.
Any religious group that espouses political leanings should have to pay taxes just like any legit business would.
And then I would be ok with it. Go ahead and run your little preacher show all you want, fool, just do it without special protection from the government.
Because if you want special treatment from the same government that I pay for, you damn well better follow the same rules as a government institution: no discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, etc etc etc.
Last…this dude definitely watches his mouth out on the street. I know a lot of women who would beat this lil bitch down if he tried talking that shit to them…and most dudes would watch and laugh.
Punk ass mf! Get a real job!

I went to the sight earlier today and wanted to crack up but i was a bit disappointed in those who for some reason chose to be ignorant. He is like another pastor out in Harlem NYC…I forget his name but he has a few youtube videos…heaven forbid if they should even link up.
Thanks for the article. I do have to disagree with you though regarding your last statment…Faux News will be the first to put these dweebs on TV much like the pastor out of Harlem by next Wed… then enquirer might try to do a story…

I was watching his speech when they started disrupting – I was shocked to see signs stating Obama supports the KKK!!!
Thanks for checking this out.
I agree, ignoring them is the best thing right now

The only person spouting racial stereotypes here seems to be “Michael the Black Man” – the Jezebel is a stereotype, not a real depiction of Black women at all. Funny they would call Obama the supporter of the KKK… Yikes. These religious types scare me, be they Black or white…

I have never seen a so stupid group-sect as yours in recent years .
You managed to manipulate no brain african-americans ,black stupid idiots to act as jackasses trying to interrupt Barack Obama.
But you blatantly failed,cause this good guy Barack Obama will be the next president of the USA God willing.
And your stupid sect and guru will disappear like a piece of shit when we flush the toilet.

It is interesting that he believes Black women are the devil incarnate and that Black men need to stay away from them. Hmm, and he is against gay marriage? hmmm, interesting! Who the heck does he expect Black men to love and cuddle with a teddy bear?
This guy is beyond nuts–but to think that there are idiots who would become his followers is even more nutty! Wonder where he found these men?
McCain/Palin? Thanks But No Thanks!!

I think they are simple fools willing to do anything for that little bit of money some republican guy gave them. Or maybe they’r hungry desperate for money and not caring about the idiotic task they’ve been assigned. Or maybe, mentally ill people. It has happend before. Previously, a mentally ill black person was paid by a white organization to kill Martin Luther King. That person did manage to stab Mr. King.
It’s no coincidence that Oprah was picked as well. I guess if Michael had mentioned that it’s because she didn’t want Sarah Palin on her show – we would have known who was behind their stupid behaviour. If you want to know why Michael is doing this, find his funder.

I always warn of black men. It’s time people realize how dangerous black presidents are. Just think of Osama bin Laden in Iraq or Idi Amin in Spain.
We should take no risk and vote for me.
