Durham’s own Rev. Paul Scott, the wacky black-centric cleric who styles himself the Truth Minista on internet message boards, was on Hannity and Colmes last night making a fool of himself and, by extension, Durham. Here’s a sample:

SCOTT: Yes, I said that. I mean, why should we always have a white Christmas? I mean…

HANNITY: Yes, but when they say “white Christmas,” they’re not talking about race. They’re talking about snow.

SCOTT: Yes, but Christmas took place in Africa. Why are we talking about a white — I mean, Jerusalem…

HANNITY: No, no, no. With the phrase…

SCOTT: … talking about a white Christmas and that happened in Africa and…

HANNITY: … white Christmas means people hope it snows.

Readers of The Herald-Sun know Scott well. His one-man campaign to get Phat Boy Malt Liquor pulled off shelves is legendary, and was not altogether unreasonable, to be honest. But he seems to have gone ’round the bend in recent years, judging from his posts on a “hate whitey” message board calling professional wrestling racist and urging the creation of a “Messianic Afrikan Nation” in which the “real” black Jesus is worshipped:

The area in which Yeshua lived was Northeast Africa, the European misnamed it the “Middle East”. The people of Africa have dark skin. The blue eyed, blond haired Jesus Christ is a figment of the imagination of the European based upon the art of 15th century artists like Michelangelo who used his family memembers [sic]to pose as the people of the Bible.

If the Rev. Scott has stuck to fighting alcohol abuse among black teens instead of descending into racism himself, he, and Durham would have been better off.
