CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In an e-mail, an African American pastor at a Charlotte church asked that “only white people” stand at the church’s front door to greet the congregation, according to WBTV.

WBTV reports Pennycooke went on to say that “first impressions matter” and that “the church wants the best of the best on the front doors.”
“We are continuing to work to bring our racial demographic pendulum back to mid-line,” she wrote, according to WBTV. “So we would like to ask that only white people be on the front doors.”

Only crazy-ass crackas need apply.
So Hussein would be a bad first impression? I’m beginning to see his point.
I knew white people were going to be in high demand but I didn’t think this soon.
Mebbe whites is da new black... < / sarc >
I’m not just white. I’m a glistening white man.
Before this thread gets stupid, think for a minute what the pastor is trying to do; I congratulate him. My church is very “integrated” with white, black, international, latino, african, and asian (both indian and far eastern)...it takes purposeful when you go down the “like heaven would look” approach...think what blacks when they see white greeters at the front door would have to examine...their inner thoughts. I congratulate this pastor and the board involved as it is a big leap of faith and a big risk. How about we pray for this and other churches instead of judging?
So not only racist, but racist with an inferiority complex. Interesting. My church would have put out a “help wanted” sign and had his office cleaned out before the sun set.
Are you clean and articulate?
The kind of people I want in my church are the ones that will see both blacks and whites outside the front of the church and want to go there.
that is folking hilarious
Sorry, her office.
I’m kinda ecru.
The basic token white ruse!
Yes. And I speak with barely a trace of a Klingon accent. I’m ready to serve.
“the church wants the best of the best on the front doors.”
If a Whitey had said this, the outrage would never end.
I’m a spotty body——
No fair. I’m on a quiet commuter bus, saw your post and am shaking trying to not laugh out loud! People are politely trying not to stare.
I’m not ‘white’; I’m ‘European-American’!
