There has to be more to this story...
quote:
While some pass by the New Era Baptist Church and never notice a sign in the church’s front yard, there are others, especially those who live nearby, who can't help but see it.
quote:
"I really think it shouldn't be up there," says 16-year old Keagan Edwards.He doesn't live too far from the sign that reads: "Black Folks Need to Stay Out of White Churches. On the other side, it says: "White folks refused to be our neighbors."
quote:LINK
"I wouldn't have a problem going to a predominately white church because everyone's not racist and you've got to give somebody a chance," says Edwards.

Damn. A fricking 16 year old having more sense than a so called Christ Following Pastor.

That pastor is just a nut job. Move along.

Segregating yourselves. Bold strategy, cotton.

At least it started a conversation

Yourselves, who exactly are you talking about?
Is that not obvious?

When the spiritual leader of your church stands in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ regarding your neighbor, you need to get a new spiritual leader.

The church is clearly a black church.
The sign is a black guy telling blacks to stay out of the white churches because they didn't want to be their neighbors. They're segregating themselves.

At first I thought this was a "White" church's sign and people were in an uproar because it's racist.
But alas, it's a Black church's sign... so double standard. It's fine.

He would be the first one bitching if white people did move in to the neighborhood because gentrification is racist

No, which is why this is stupid.

We're not exactly sure what Pastor Michael R. Jordan meant by the sign. We tried reaching him through the church phone number, however, it was disconnected.
Did the church forget to pay their phone bill

Now they're turning themselves into victims. How predictable.
