A black man has been arrested and charged with burning an African-American church in Greenville, Miss. last month and defacing its outer walls with “Vote Trump” graffiti.
The Mississippi state police arrested Andrew McClinton, 45, on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree arson of a place of worship, Warren Strain, a spokesman with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety told The Daily Caller.
McClinton allegedly set first to Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, where he is a member, on Nov. 1, a week before the election. The fire destroyed 80 percent of the church. A GoFundMe account raised more than $240,000 to repair the facility.

Why do we keep tolerating complaints from privileged groups -yes privileged- whose own members keep hoaxing society?
I remember this story well. It was right before the election and the mainstream media was on it constantly 24/7 as an example of how racist Trump supporters are. And we find out it was a hoax that bilked thousands of people into giving them $240,000.
Where’s (Notso)Sharpton on this? Jackson? #BLM? Hussein?
Back in the 90s there was a rash of church burnings. My wife asked me what I thought the reason was and was amazed to hear, "Insurance fraud." In this case the motive was clearly political fraud but the result is the same so there's nothing to see here.
For the GoFundMe account on behalf of this church I probably wouldn't have contributed a penny. On the other hand, if they had set up GoBiteMe...
Thou shalt not bear false witness.
There is a good reason why this is in the top 10.
Just another self-loathing black man.
Happens a lot more than many people think.
This self-destructive behavior, destroying the things
near you, and making it look like some kind of persecution,
is psychologically at a pretty infantile level.
Not a lot of critical thinking going on
None of the MSM radio reports I’ve monitored have even mentioned this perp was black let alone “Afro Amrerican”
Another hoax, has even one of the “Trump inspired hate crimes” I keep hearing about turned out to be real?
Those dam raciss white guys won’t do what they are spose to be doin so we gotta do it for em.
None.
The perp obviously calculated that the benefits of the cry of “Racism!” far outweigh the economic damages to his own church. This is how much power “racism “ has, and why its beneficiaries want racism to keep it going, even under false pretenses. The only racism today is fraudulent and manufactured.
I wonder if this story will be reported on BET, or any major media.
I wouldn’t put money on it.
Will the Southern Poverty Law Center make sure this ‘hate crime’ is removed from their book of ‘Hate White Men Crimes’?
“Just another self-loathing black man.”
UH! Self loathing?? How about white hating black man?
Headline from the Slimes...
“Member Charged in Arson of Black Church With ‘Vote Trump’ Scrawled on Side”
Notice that there is no mention in the headline that the guy was black, but they describe the church as black.

Just another “community organizer” doing what Community organizers do
Another Isolated Incident
Meanwhile true Christian families are deprived of worship in their beloved church this Christmas because this beast couldn’t get past the election and the loss of his ‘free crap’.
Interesting last name...
