Totally agree. These Black Pastors just want to be "SEEN" with the president; it's all Photo opp - all so they can be Stand out and get more attention on themselves..... I'm really disappointed in Pastor John Gray .... can't take him serious moving forward. This president has no interest in anything he's saying he met with him about.
Shout outs to Pastor Jamal Bryant for calling these sellouts Out - - because that is what they are; By definition. This is the thing that bothers me when black people, speak about "the black church' as if it is a Monolith; Black churches do not all agree with one another; SOME pastors are indeed working against the best interests of our communities ... but that isn't the case for ALL pastors, nor all black churches.
We need more black church members who understand that it's important to PUT pastors in place that Will do right by the people - I do get that a lot of us aren't for all the 'love they enemy' stuff; There are several areas of the bible that speak of taking 'action' ... but again, this comes down to all of us moving spiritually together; in the positive direction; and it includes rooting the coons 'out' of the meeting - and out of positions of leadership.
These black pastors sitting down with Trump are telling us that They are NOT the Leaders we need; The members of these congregations need to put these #Sellouts out.
Love Pastor Jamal Bryan's commentary and Sermon on this matter - 'Chairs with No Legs'
The latest excuse sellouts are making is about 'having a seat at the table' .... but, is this really the table we want to sit at? Pastor Jamaal Bryant isn't getting invited to these meetings - he might actually Challenge Trump.
The Role of the prophet is not to comfort the King, it is to Challenge the King #SeparationOfChurchAndState
These black pastors went to a meeting where they were not allowed to ask questions. They did not hold Trump accountable for his actions, his words, or any of the wrongs he's caused during his first 2 years in office. This was just a photo opportunity, for them to be seen. This is how they are expecting to grow their membership, and their visibility, and yet none of them are truly concerned with change, or improvement. Empty Rhetoric spewed today, on Trump as the Most Pro Black President ever, is merely empty rhetoric.
