Flier for whites only pastors' conference has residents upset

[rocks 494]

This thread all in all was actually productive.

I think we all learned something here and though some won't come out and admit it, the facts we discovered even surprised me.

I mean everyone knows as a collection of states the South lags in test scores, in part due to the high concentration of Blacks in the region......

Incorrect. This has not been proven. As I have repeated to you time and time again, Mississippi has poor scores for everyone, so everyone does badly. Your racist comments are becoming increasingly tiresome.

I am convinced the root problem is the disintegration of the Black family.... not poverty, not some ubiquitous ghost of Jim Crow.... it is the family.

And how can a family be a family if they live in poverty and have to work numerous jobs to survive? You are wrong, as always.

I owe the Black "community" nothing.

In fact, they owe me as I am a contributor to the system and the community.

They also owe you nothing.

You should air these concerns to all these black families you claim to encounter. It sounds like the "I'm not racist because I have black friends" excuse, which translates to "I saw someone black at the grocery store, so I'm not racist."

Danno is no comedian.

Ain't that the truth.

Well, in all fairness we do not know for sure that the poster is not owed anything by someone else. It would be prudent to hear his/her answer for we may find out that he or she owes us something, in turn. You never know!

I can tell you his answer if you like! He is going to claim everyone black is on welfare.

I love how he didn't address any of the points in my previous post, just went on a mad rant about nothing, typical Danno, can't ever win an argument.

I wish to believe he would not be that naive, and I can attest that not all blacks are on welfare. My neighbor is black and he is the CEO of a very successful company. In the spirit of full disclosure, he does owe me 10 bucks on a bet he lost. Other than that I am pretty sure he does not owe anyone anything.

I ran into ex Boston Celtic player Dennis "DJ" Johnson in a local store one day about 20 years ago. I said, "Hey aren't you Dennis Johnson"? He said, "Yeah". It was really cool!

Don't expect him to pay attention to facts. His opinion is the only fact he needs, apparently.

He can't accept the fact that poor deep south states do badly for everyone, and that some of the southern states are far more advanced than others, SC, GA, TX. They have better schooling as a result.

He also can't grasp that if a state has 37% African Americans, 50% can be conservative. I thought that was pretty simple, oh well.

It's not even worth paying attention to his ramblings.

Not to mention that when you drive around The South, there are many white communities who live in the same conditions as their black neighbors. It is almost as though there are rich and poor everywhere... Which is all the more amazing, because how would god forsake his chosen people and allow white folks to be poor?

How in the name of the lord can such travesty be happening to white folks?! Unless what these pastors mean is that only rich white folks will get to heaven...

Bummer!! :rofl:

There you go with the facts again!

Only rich white folks who donate to their church will get into heaven.

Once at a party I sat at the same table as Tina Turner. She complimented me on my tie. I could not sleep for three days...

The more I learn about these pastors the more I realize I would not want to go to heaven if god herself came knocking on my front door and begged me. I would not want to spend eternity with people like these...

Same here. If god thinks it is "good" to be racist and this behavior will get them into heaven, they can have it. I'm happy being a good, non-racist anti-theist.

Back on topic, my question still remains as to whether there is anything anyone can do to ensure blacks - and people of other skin colors alike - would have a way to go to heaven and join the chosen few. Personally, do you agree with the pastors' position and it is all lost for the non-whites? If so, are they wasting their time trying to be good Christians, since there is no hope at all for them?

Generally I don't address this silliness but I'm in a good mood even if I am running late for work.

I have never read anything in the bible to conclude all people have access to God through his Sons atonement.

NOw please post an example of anything I have posted which would prompt such a silly question.

I may address other posts later when I have time.

Danno is lost for words, there's a first.

You mean "all" blacks are not on welfare.... and you can prove it too? Well thats good to know because so many people are under the impression "every" black is on well fare, Even Michael Jordan and Spike Lee

My friend you are the poster-child of the DWL (disingenuous white liberal) .... I bet you actually think posting all the ####### you do about African Americans is -you doing your good civic duty.

No doubt you think you have your finger on the pulse of the "Black man" because you exchange neighborly pleasantries with the Black CEO next door while picking up the morning paper.
