    Dear White Evangelicals,

    I need to tell you something: People have had it with you.

    They're done.

    They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here's why:

    They see your.....
    If the roles had been reversed and instead of white it had said black or some other minority then a racism alarm would have been sounded in zero seconds. There is no such thing as equal justice with that.

    While y'all know I've never been a fan of Trump or Obama, I "Thanked" FO's post because I 100% agree with this...

    QUOTE: For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity.

    They saw you brandish Scriptures to malign him and use the laziest of racial stereotypes in criticizing him.

    And through it all, White Evangelicals—you never once suggested that God placed him where he was,
    you never publicly offered prayers for him and his family,
    you never gave him the benefit of the doubt in any instance,
    you never spoke of offering him forgiveness or mercy,
    your evangelists never publicly thanked God for his leadership,
    your pastors never took to the pulpit to offer solidarity with him,
    you never made any effort to affirm his humanity or show the love of Jesus to him in any quantifiable measure.

    ... And yet you give carte blanche to a white Republican man so riddled with depravity, so littered with extramarital affairs, so unapologetically vile, with such a vast resume of moral filth—that the mind boggles.

    For some reason people can't accept that Christians had a problem with Obama due to his policies, not his color, The same way many Christians supported Trump due to his policies, not his personality. If what happened to Obama was racist by whites, then what happened to Trump for four years is also racism from blacks. That argument swings both ways.

    Obama is still fanning the flames of racism. He really is a pathetic soul.

    I agree, John, but I think he and Trump have "fanned the flames" of racism - Which makes both of them pathetic, IMHO

    I really don't think Trump has. What I DO think is that the left has taken statements and turned them into racist statements and everybody falls in line like good little followers. I would like to see one racist statement he has made. I can see many statements he's made that the left interprets and trumpets as racism due to how they view things and to promote a false narrative. Not to mention the left says racists things all the time. It's just since they are the ones saying them they're not racist. And because most of them are directed at whites, they're not considered racist.

    I would say 99% of what the left calls racist isn't racist. Racism is pretty easy to identify if one doesn't have a skewed view of what it is and actually uses motive to determine it as opposed to optics. Racism is a heart thing. Period.

    One other thing. Trump was widely accepted by the black community, especially rappers, etc, until he was elected and the lying narrative about it was promoted by the left. Then they had to step in line and follow their white liberal leaders. Blacks need to wake up and see they are being played by the left.

    Pavlovitz used the word 'Never" - he is a evil man with an agenda who twists things

    If he said many white evangelicals did this then he would be accurate but he uses the word never which means ALL white evangelicals
    That is a lie because many white evangelicals supported Obama and prayed for him

    There were white evangelicals that said terrible things about Obama and did not show the proper respect but that does not mean ALL

    I suppose you're referring to Lorrie, not to Lori who is the name of an other poster's wife.
