The DNC has 50 years of tentacles into black churches across America. It's just almost beyond hope when you consider that's how they peddle their messages and bus voters.

Yeah, if you notice, every "community crisis" that blacks try to combat always involves "members of the faith community" to make sure the real message gets through. Black preachers are just as much to blame for black people's problems as fatherless homes.

It's the same thing with Christianity. You get mocked for having Christian values like pro life, no gay marriage in this country. But the religion that literally kills gays and treat women like dogs in Islam gets a pass because they aren't normally white ppl

As I've told you before, the church is no longer the bastion of black community groupthink it once was. It's pop culture now.

What LeBron James or John Legend says has exponentially more impact than any conglomeration of black clergy in 2019.

Seems like LJ and JL also have a large influence on the clergy as well.

Depends. My point is it's not black churches that are impacting black leftist groupthink. It was for Boomers, but not for my peers and younger.

Neither of what those guys espouse is different from the garbage that has been peddled by pastors since the 60s

Kanye was ridiculed as mentally ill immediately, so I do get your point - the media is afraid of that happening.

For now, "Need more programs." is all we get

Perhaps.

My view is that black preachers are the mouthpieces of whatever the current groupthink may be.

Oh I'm not saying the message is different, just the medium.

Pop culture is the new church, if you will.

Their clout is dwindling rapidly, yet black leftist groupthink remains steadfast because of pop culture's influence.

The real meaning of these words,

Tolerance = Left leaning ideas only, all others must be silence

Diversity = chasing down the last white person, die whitey die

Kanye West has revealed he was diagnosed & medicated for a mental " condition" and claims it is a " superpower" of his. More concern than ridicule for an admittedly I'll man.


Good luck to the former Miss Michigan. Maybe she can be a token minority contributor for Fox News like Stacey Dash once was. Dash was no longer as useful for Fox after Obama left office.

I thought minorities couldn’t be racist.

But this is where we once again see Asians aren’t considered minorities because they believe in strong family values, hard work, and education.

"There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus. So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?" "Did you know that the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks?" the second tweet said. "Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others."


So the truth is still racist. Great.

I see more confederate flags in one trip to Michigan than my entire life living in the south. They aren’t afraid to kick some racial reality up there.

Still upset because no one will accept you as the token of their group?

We'll give you a token saying

Is this part of the worldwide liberal conspiracy, or is it just that when her remarks surfaced, it pissed off their major sponsor, Jacob Arabo, who grew up Muslim and whose business does well with wealthy black people?

If you say, “yeah but there’s nothing offensive about her comments!”, consider the implications of what she said.

- Muslim women who chose to wear a hijab certainly don’t feel as if they are being oppressed in the same way that a woman in a swimsuit doesn’t feel like her choice is a forcible objectification. Suggesting either is offensive.

- Black people certainly don’t appreciate it when their opinions are marginalized. Suggesting that their opinions on causes of and solutions to crime should be dismissed until they “fix all the problems in their own community first” is offensive.

In short, it’s a private organization and what she said is sure to piss some people off. The organization’s reaction is predictable and defensible. I disagree with the outrage.
