Annual Pastor's Conference... Black People Not Allowed

July 4, 2012 By Hemant Mehta 16 Comments

 

That's a real thing. Christian Identity Ministries exists. Hell, this is their fourth conference.

 

So why only White Christians? The organizers explained using all of the wisdom at their disposal:

 

The organizer of the event, Rev. William C. Collier says that his Church of God's Chosen (Christian Identity Ministries) is not a hate group but adds that he believes "the white race is God's chosen people."

 

...

 

... Collier said, "We don't have the facilities to accommodate other people. We haven't got any invitations to black muslim events. Of course, we are not invited to Jewish events and stuff."

 

Mel Lewis said, "We have a right as Americans to meet, to pray, to assemble. If someone is offended too bad"

 

I can't understand why groups wouldn't invite these guys to their parties...

 

Brace yourself for the onslaught of Christians explaining why these Christians aren't really Christians.

God is not about exclusive and division.  But darn if some Christians don't like using Him as such.

We were just discussing this at home the other day.

It's ok to have a Black expo, a Latino expo, etc. but if there was a White expo, all hell would break loose.

Think about it.

So you plan on attending?

Nope, just looking at the other side.

Okay.  If you say so.

This is what I'm saying--and it seems discriminatory to me.

Good for them.

I will never understand why it is ok for other races to have racially exclusive clubs, groups, meetings, etc but not whites.

That's very open-minded of you.

What would we call this 'white club'?  How would one gain entry?  My skin might look white but I am Irish and Portuguese.  So how would I 'prove' I am white?  Based only on my skin color?

Nah, no thank you.  I do not want to be part of something that includes, or excludes, based soley on my skin color.  Which, if I am wearing the wrong shade of yellow, looks  a little green.

The red below is the whole point--if other groups do it, it's fine and celebrated, but if whites want to have a group meeting, it's considered wrong.  It just doesn't make any sense to me.

How can they say they love God when they find imperfections in HIS creation? If you don't love HIS creation how can you love HIM? 

BTW people dont consider Arabs white (however theyre actually caucasians) and Jesus was from Palestine so would he not be allowed? lol

And this, anyone who has been to the middle east has to realize that Jesus was not a white dude with long auburn/brown hair. He had brown skin like it or not many of these organizations would not let Jesus in.

Quoting mommychelle01:

I live in Mississippi and I know for a fact there are at least one or two churches here that don't allow blacks. They will be asked to leave and escorted out. My husband's family just bought out a restaurant a couple years ago and before they bought it, blacks still had to go around to the back door to get their food and go.



I spent 4 years in MS, in 2 different locations. I left in 2008 and this sort of thing was still happening.
black or white only churches, restaurants, salons and barbershops, and businesses. People didn't believe me, maybe they'll believe this poster.
Are you at liberty to say what part of MS?
I know..like it maters LOL

You're absolutely right. Im muslim and christians and our faith share the same belief in the return of Jesus and I think people will be shocked when he comes back what he really looks like, lol. Youll find pastors like this grow a tail and run with it between their legs, lol.
