Is Barack Obama a Black Separatist?
Jim Kouri has posted a piece here repeating a claim (possibly fabricated by the Clinton smear machine) that Illinois Democrat Senator Barack Obama is a closet Muslim.
In his defense, a liberal calling himself (herself?) "Midwestern Progressive" informs us that Barack Obama is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The church's website is here: http://www.tucc.org/about.htm
According to that website, Trinity United Church of Christ appears to be a black separatist congregation, deliberately segregating itself from the larger community. Notice that there's no commitment in that church community to the larger community, only to the black community.
"Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System."

Sure sounds like it to me, replace the word black with the word white and that church sounds akin to Aryan Nations.
