so your argument is well other people did it so it is okay that Christ himself was supposedly was cool with it, even though Christ had no problems calling out some fuckery when it benefited him and his teachings?
Fuck what Joe Biden said. I am asking you for proof of what you said. What the hell that got to do with being monolithic or not?
Despite what your presidential candiate Joe Biden thinks, we're not some monlithic group. There are millions of people who have been uplifted by the black church spiritually and mentally, including every black man and woman on this board.
People from the black church literally put their lives on the line for our freedom
I get it. Obama started gentrification in the black community.Can't have a discussion with someone who doesn't have to address issues of substance.

Gentrification in America Report
Dramatic changes are playing out across parts of urban America, making many neighborhoods hardly recognizable from a relatively short time ago. A new class of more affluent residents is moving into once underinvested and predominately-poor communities. Development has followed, typically accompanied by sharp increases in housing prices that can displace a neighborhood’s longtime residents. It’s a scenario known as gentrification, and one that presents a growing dilemma for policymakers.

okay so out of those states mentioned which ones have majority black cities that are thriving?
It's funny how you'll answer this question or that question but you refuse to answer one simple question. Who are you voting for come November.Be a man and step in the Zoom meeting! And you can tell me about the Democratic plan to address this as well:
Median wealth of black Americans 'will fall to zero by 2053', warns new report

Not even close, nor do I proclaim or want to be anything of the like.
yet the church pastor thrives on financial gain, funny how that works. so in your idealistic world, what is the point of building multi-million dollar facilities. It ain't about the money,right?
Dude what was the point of your statement about the church uplifting the community for generations?
well american slavery was around before you were born. Did that make it okay or justifiable?
And I'm supposed to listen this messenger of faith. YEAH RIGHT!!!!VAiz4Trump must think BGOLers don't know how to use Google

North Carolina anti-gay rent-a-pastor Patrick Wooden, who is a high-profile supporter of the upcoming ballot initiative in this state, Amendment One, which would add language to our constitution barring gays and lesbians from civil marriage or any legal relationship recognition. Wooden has been on the airwaves of late making statements that have to make it hard for amendment supporters to claim this guy is on their side. Wooden:
- believes that Glee and Tyler Perry’s Madea promote ‘gay perversion’
- went on The Michelangelo Signorile Show and educated listeners about “glory holes“
- accuses gay men of molesting gerbils, baseball bats, and cell phones
- claims, citing no evidence of course, that all gay men will need to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels
- decided to get lesbians on his radar by proclaiming that I needed to find Jesus – and a man to breed with to “rock my world.”
Thanks to intrepid Blender Laurel Ramseyer, she discovered that the fact-challenged “Dr. Patrick L. Wooden, Sr.” also extends his fantasy thinking to his own honorific of “Dr.” By the way, he clearly clings to this title for dear life, using it at the beginning of EVERY paragraph of his puffed up bio (see screencap at right).
Laurel noted:
You know I have a special dislike of these anti-gay jerks who puff up their image with unearned doctorate degrees (I had to bust my butt for mine – I don’t like sharing the title with charlatans), so I decided to check into your new boyfriend’s credentials. If my reading of the material below is correct, his “doctorate” is nothing more than recognition that he’s been a pastor for X number of years. No scholarship needed. Looks like he got a “life-earned” doctorate. In other words, an honorary degree for just showing up to work.
According to Wooden’s bio page: “Dr. Wooden has received national notoriety for his work and efforts. The North Carolina College of Theology recognized the work of Dr. Wooden and afforded him the opportunity to use some of his years of experience as credits in his pursuit of a Doctorate of Theology of which he received in June 2007.”
Check out the college’s page about their doctorates, where they feel the need to say “Very Important: We do not sell degrees”. It would be interesting to know if the orgs that have accredited them are themselves legit. I don’t know how to check that, especially for a religious college which may not use the academic system (telling all in itself, if true):
Does not the average church pastor take a salary? Can you name anyone that runs a church for free? The lord's work is supposed to be its own reward, correct?
sorry forgot to add, caricature or not, it does exists. where do you stand on those types of churches and the pastors that run them?
Cool story but who are you voting for?
I didn't ask who you are not voting for. I ask who are you voting for?
see this is where I take issue, because this is not an honest assessment of my position. If you're gonna be specific enough to call me out by saying "you", quote an example. As far as not having a problem w groups having agendas and backing candidates who favor them, um yeah, that's what I said
that's because it's a dumb ass comment that makes literally no sense and you are trying to be funny as a dodge. Notice you haven't provided a real answer. And we both know why.Still can't believe above when I said I decline to get literally ass raped for Biden,
And that faggits reply was "do you want Trump to get elected"
this shit here smh
yeah the blaming 2016 on niggas shit is played out.
is trump/the gop more likely to be responsive to your policy demands than biden/dems? If you think so, please explain what data you base your decision on.

You sound like a Black man-hating feminist. For the record, I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. But more importantly, Black people are not responsible for Trump's win in 2016. White people are! I will repeat, Black people are not responsible for Trump's win in 2016. White people are! So any issues you have with Trump, take it up with them. He's their product and their responsibility. If you are disappointed with the lack of Black political engagement, then encourage your Democratic Party to present Black America with a comprehensive Black agenda, rather than segregationist-adjacent architects of mass incarceration and the 94 Crime Bill and Cali's top cop.
