Poetry also lambastes ‘Sweet Jesus,’ mocks ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’
The man who heavily influenced U.S. Sen. Barack Obama during his growing years wrote poetry praising the aggression of communism, criticizing “Sweet Jesus” and mocking the traditional hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers,” according to an advocate for media accuracy.
WND reported earlier when Cliff Kincaid wrote at Accuracy in Media about the link between Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, and Obama, who cited a mysterious “Frank” in his book.
Now Kincaid has uncovered poetry written by Davis that hails the Soviet Union’s Red Army, with a call to “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” and a wide range of attacks on or mockery of Christianity.
“One Davis poem, ‘Christ is a Dixie Ni—er,’ dismisses Christ as ‘another New White Hope’ and declares: ‘Remember this, you wise guys Your tales about Jesus of Nazareth are no-go with Me I’ve got a dozen Christs in Dixie all bloody and black…,” Kincaid said.
He said the poems from Davis are in the book “Black Moods” which was edited by John Tidwell, a University of Kansas professor and expert on Davis’ writings. He confirmed to Kincaid that Davis joined the Community Party but that he publicly tried to deny his affiliations.
“Davis’ poem, ‘To the Red Army,’ says that ‘rich industrialists’ in Washington and London wanted Hitler to win and ‘wipe Communism from the globe,’” Kincaid said, adding, “One Davis poem, ‘Onward Christian Soldiers,’ mocks the Christian hymn by the same name. It talks of Africans being killed with ‘Christian gun’ instead of a spear by the missionaries following ‘the religion of Sweet Jesus.’

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
