Pastor Ronald Slaughter wore his Sunday best, plus a white hoodie sweatshirt as he preached his Palm Sunday sermon today.
Slaughter and members of his congregation at St. James AME Church in Newark donned hoodies in honor of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen gunned down by a neighborhood watch captain last month.
Several congregants wore their hoodies up while others sitting in the pews came in regular dress. Slaughter, who wore a white zipped up hoodie sweatshirt over a shirt and tie, and other church leaders behind the pulpit wore hoodies but did not cover their heads.

The same thing happened last Sunday at a largely black church in Norfolk, VA (Calvary Revival); a Freeper posted pictures of the congregation in their hoodies.
Is church about worshiping, or is it about race? How many times was the name of Jesus Christ mentioned, compared to the number of times they spoke about Trayvon? THIS STUFF HAS NO PLACE IN A HOUSE OF GOD.
And any blacks who leave the thug, pimp and whore plantation are given the Cain treatment.
I think his strategy is to gain voters based on a fear of his failure at the ballot box will cause the feared race war.
He is far to much of a pussy to actually confront his enemies so he buys them off. Just like the rich pussy ass kids at school. That's why he surrounds himself with the super aggressive liberal partisans(even that hag of a wife). They are his bullies.
That explains why he his wrong on just about every issue. There is nobody home. He's just a conduit/collector of his protectors individual policies. He is just a giant colon and his mouth is the asshole.
Do any of these paragons of courage speak up against lynch mobs?
Remember Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dorn/Weather Underground, it’s all part of how Democrats will community organize off campus.
And for the Pastor, just know the last guy that yelled racial epithets and swore at me, I prayed for the lost soul to find his way to be a good man. The example I’d expect from a man of the ‘cloth’.
>>Whats the difference?
The guy in the bottom photo is probably a productive member of society and raises all his children.
For them its ALL ABOUT worshipping race. They just throw Jesus' name around to give themselves an air of legitamacy.
Anybody know where I can get a “Block Watch” T-shirt?
We need to get hoodie manufacturers to put a little reflective tape along the outside of the hood.
Exactly right, IMO.
“The article helps explain why Newark is such a fetid cesspool.”
The population hasn’t reached the pre-riot levels, and that is now almost 50 years ago. With the exception of some areas where commerce goes on (where there are no hoodies, at least whilre the sun is up), Newark is a reservation for the permanent underclass ringed by suburbs determined to keep their mayhem contained.
