You have a point. I don’t trust racists.

Let's don't have a double standard here just because you disagreed with what he was originally saying about Long and the reason he made this thread.

When he put it in the frame as “only” black Churches and implied that black Churches are more guilty than white Churches, it’s racist. Whether you see it as such or not. I know what was meant by the comment and it’s racist...When I make comments about black issues, it’s in the proper context, and I wasn’t implying that “only” blacks have the issues being discussed.

That isn’t the case with the racist comments LH made. I stand by that. You can excuse it as you wish, but don’t expect me to buy it.

My experience on this Forum with the racists comments made by Nikos, Lion Heart, and a couple others is that the comments have been downplayed as not being racist. I get that from many whites because some of you like Fuego refuse to call it what it is. Maybe its because you don't recognize it like many of us do.

So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because you haven't experienced racism your entire life like many of us have, especially when we live in a majority white neighborhood, work primarily with whites, and attend a predominantly white Church.

The conversation started out as degrading a dead preacher, ok, I get that, Christians do that regularly...But the person inferred that black people and black Churches are more loyal to preachers when they sin than whites.

What was the motive for bringing race into it? It is because the person has preconceived prejudices towards black Christians and black Churches. Period. Spin it as you wish, but don't get defensive or upset when I call it out.

Try to spin it whichever way you want...Doesn't matter to me...Just know that whenever I smell racism, I will call it out and I'm not concerned what some here think about it.

We should not have to proof read our posts for fear of being called a racist. I was called a racist by VW on another thread. I am anything but a racist. It just isn't so. But I hear it coming more from blacks than I do whites. Anyway there is no difference. In Christ we are all one. So I encourage everyone that we all take down the wall dividing us and just love one another.

Per the highlighted, practice what you preach. You have been the biggest contributor to division and strife in the body the way you’ve degraded God’s ministers. Get off that high horse sometimes and humble yourself by taking responsibility for your actions.
