“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Not racist.

He probably believes in ‘White Privilege’ too - I’m looking forward to the day when we judge people on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Some Americans in 1968 understood what the leftists intended and did what they could to head them off. The leftists have largely succeeded and now we are living in the worsening wreckage of our society that they sought to create. Jim Crow was not really the issue then and it certainly isn’t the issue now.

And people like him are stirring the pot and keeping racism alive and well.

Trying to end Christianity by slapping the ‘racist’ tag on it.

IIRC there were more riots in the northern states than the southern states. Disappointed he would take this stance not based on history.

This moron does not even realize the irony of quoting Matthew 23:28-32. HE is the one laying the wreath at the tomb for "political posturing". White America today did not have anything to do with "Jim Crow". That generation, and the generation of Slavery, was punished in their time. We are innocent...
Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also* outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

He slandered my grandmother. Wife of a deacon in a southern baptist church in the 60’s. Also very pro civil rights.

So much for not bearing false witness.

Wonder what other commandments he publically and unrepentantly breaks these days

He fails to draw the line between true believers who did not buy into the Klan message and false believers who used religion as a veil. It’s as dishonest as saying that the Nazis were Christian.

Moore is trying to earn some cred with the peddlars of revolution. He’ll wish he had not.

When it no longer matters, everyone is Rosa Parks.

Usually the same kind of people who wanted to keep her in the back of the bus in 1958. They have just moved on to supporting some other moral outrage.

Liberal, leftwing A-holes like “Ruuthell” Moore is why I am no longer a Baptist. I have great sympathy for my Catholic brethren who are suffering under the anti-pope.

Try Reformed Baptist. It is decidedly different.

Moore is doing two things

He’s virtue signaling at the expense of his mississippi gulf coast ancestry

And he’s poaching for black congregants of the National Baptist Convention

Like a whore in hot pants soliciting with no subtlety

I loved Will Campbell. He told good stories. He knew how to touch the hearts even of Klansmen. He loved Southerners and Christians of all colors. He didn’t buy racism, black or white.

Moore is a PC social liberal white guilt traitor and a modern democrat

He has no business in high position at the Southern Baptist Convention

freaking hilarious!
“We as Christians have to remember how horrible, horrible, horrible we ALL were 50 years ago before most of us were born.
I don’t want to build bridges or communities, I want to tell everyone how AWFUL RACIST THE bible belt was so we never heal.”

What a db.

What is truly ironic is that many folks that said that 30+ years ago, are the ones today pushing white hatred and privilege.
