I, unfortunately, have decided that I’m going to have to leave my church due to their unrelenting BLM support and (of course) racism towards anyone who isn’t openly supporting it. When I joined this church in 2012 it was great, it was extremely spiritual and wasn’t extremist in any sort of way. They were very open and accepting of all beliefs, and I never felt ashamed to be there.
Now the entire church is only discussing how white people need to pray on our inherent evil towards minorities. One of our ministers is a black woman who was very accepting until BLM first came into existence. After that she set up a church protest to go protest the execution of a black man who had raped and murdered a woman and her child. I was NOT down with participating with that, and really considered leaving after that incident but ultimately decided to stay. From there she and another minister made it known she was not a Trump fan and now all of the leaders there are calling all white people racist. They also just recently said even other races were racist if they didn’t support BLM.
It wasnt super obvious until these past few months, but from then on things kept becoming more extremist and unaccepting. This is not a place where people can celebrate differences in thought or beliefs.
Have any of you guys had to leave a church or a community due to the rising racism of BLM / all the other shit going on? I honestly never thought I’d be hard pressed into leaving, but I don’t feel peace or love there anymore. I don’t even know how to go about finding another place to worship because I’m sure my church isn’t the only place where this is happening.
Black churches and ministers are a fallen shitshow. You will know them by their fruit. Well, what is the fruit of black churches? Violence, destruction, fornication, drugs, fatherlessness etc.
The ones who make the most noise are the ones that get the attention, like Al Sharpton (who I don't really consider a minister), Freddie Haynes, Talbert Swan, dudes like that. But I think most of them are more like Jasper Williams who has been working tirelessly to get black men to take responsibility for their lives. Remember the guy who preached Aretha Franklin's funeral and said "black lives will never matter until black lives start mattering to black people!" He got criticized for it and then doubled down on his comments in a presser later on. But nobody can criticize his track record of trying to preach righteousness to the black community. Terry Anderson got shared the other day on twitter and he's a strong voice as well. He doesn't like Trump at all - most of them don't and probably won't because they're generations deep in the democrat BS - but they're not overly political voices. They are more solicitous for their own communities than they are angry about Donald Trump.
Most of them don't go around blaming whites for their cultural baggage. The message that I hear most often from their pulpit is "graduate high school, pull your pants up, get a job, come to church, keep your ___ in your pants, be a man, and marry that woman." Blacks are even more opposed to feminism and homosexuality than most conservative white pastors; of course that will never get reported because the media needs to make it look like their gung-ho with all the degenerate behavior that's out there.
