Criticism of homosexuality Manning has received some media coverage for his condemnations of
homosexuality, which include calling for homosexuals to be
stoned to death. Manning's views on homosexuality include the beliefs that "white homos are going to take the black woman's man". In an interview with
The Huffington Post, Manning stated, "The
homosexual activists are flat-out lying about what Jesus would do regarding the detestable, abominable, diseased practice and act of homosexuality. They have been lying and saying that Jesus would simply love." Manning has stated that
Starbucks will be "ground zero for spreading
Ebola" in the United States because homosexuals frequent the stores and "a lot of bodily fluids" are exchanged. Manning has also stated that Starbucks puts
semen in its coffees, and that millions of people around the world "really think that the taste of semen is quite a flavor." He admitted during an interview with
The Young Turks that without his deep faith, he would have already given in to the "sodomitical temptations", as he calls homosexuals "
sodomites", which he claims is the biblically correct term.
Criticism of Barack Obama Manning came to public attention during the
2008 presidential election after ATLAH posted several sermons of his on
YouTube that were harshly critical of Obama. Among other accusations, he called Obama's mother "white trash" for becoming pregnant by a black man out of wedlock, an issue he discussed during a press conference at the
National Press Club on December 8, 2008. It is common knowledge that African men, coming from the continent of Africa — especially for the first time — do diligently seek out white women to have sexual intercourse with. Generally the most noble of white society choose not to intercourse sexually with these men. So it's usually the trashier ones who make their determinations that they're going to have sex. The sermons drew the attention of
Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which filed a complaint with the
Internal Revenue Service objecting to alleged violations of laws granting tax-free status to churches on the condition that they refrain from certain forms of political activity. Manning continued his criticisms of Obama after his election, frequently calling him a criminal and "long-legged mack daddy." He produced a video in summer 2009 in which he predicted that there would be a white backlash against Obama, complete with riots, and he attended one of the first "
birther" events. In an interview with the Israeli radio station
Arutz Sheva, Manning asserted that Obama had chosen to befriend Muslims instead of Jews; he also offered praise of
Meir Kahane. In May 2010, Manning staged a show trial of Barack Obama at ATLAH for wire fraud, with Manning acting as prosecutor. Although the treason and sedition charges had been deleted from consideration at the trial, Manning expressed the opinion that Obama should be hanged. On August 4, 2014, he prognosticated that
Vladimir Putin would "out" Obama as gay within 100 days.
Criticism of black leadership In his sermons and in video messages posted on his church's website and on YouTube, Manning has denounced the influence of
Charles Rangel,
Al Sharpton,
Cornel West, and
Jay-Z.
Opposition to gentrification in Harlem Manning is fiercely opposed to the
gentrification of Harlem and calls for its residents to
boycott its shops, restaurants, doctors, banks, and churches. Manning said the intent of the boycott was to return Harlem to its pre-gentrification days of 1990, without the
crack cocaine, crime, and boarded-up buildings. ==References==
