Volume controversy
ISUPK has demonstrated many times at the corner of Seventh and H streets in Washington, D.C., since 2004,[4] but residents complain that the group amplifies its open-air preaching to more than 90 decibels and that its message is offensive.[5] Some homeowners say that the group accuses white and gay people of destroying historically black neighborhoods, and at least one resident has complained of being called a "cracker, a slave owner, [and] a white devil," but they reiterate that the volume of the group's message, rather than the message's content, is the real problem.[6]
The ISUPK's volume and the volume of other groups prompted Washington's municipal government to consider passing an ordinance in order to "resolve the issue."[7] The measure would have limited the volume of daytime noncommercial speech to 70 decibels, but it died because of free-speech concerns.[8] ISUPK's regional director, General Yahanna, defended the group, saying that residents' real issue was not sound, but the content of the group's message.[7] The group identifies its message as saving local residents' souls and discouraging people from drugs and crime; it regards its separatist teachings as the real objection which residents have.[6]
