Everybody is angry nowadays, but one of the problems with the “black community,” which is no community at all, is that they are all on a hair trigger…against each other, anybody who they think “disrespects” them in any way, somebody who makes eye contact.

This is animal behavior, where any interaction is considered a threat.

The “black churches” have done nothing to help these people, because they are nothing but self-enriching, cynical members of the Democratic Party.

Black people in this country need real missionaries, Christians who would go out and tell them they are human beings made in the image and likeness of God. Spanish missionaries told that to the Indians and they went from slaughtering each other under the command of a pagan despot to suddenly realizing they were human beings with individual responsibilities to the God who made them.

Nobody in modern times has ever evangelized the black population that way. There have been a few Catholic religious orders that tried, and St. Katherine Drexel certainly worked on it and built schools and orders for black Americans. But since VII, the Church has moved on to more exciting things, and as for the “black ministers,” they appear to have always been fraudsters, usually self-ordained, or Democrat operatives who went through the AME seminaries.

Sorry for ranting, but this is all a moral problem, and it is all because Christians have abandoned the evangelization of our African-descent population.

Clarence Thomas, btw, is the graduate of a Catholic school run by nuns and set up right after the Civil War by Bishop Augustin Verot for the children of the poor among recently emancipated black population. He grew up in segregated Savannah and lived with his grandparents (his grandfather was Catholic) and delivered kerosene at 4:00 am with his grandfather in the black part of town. But he had his school and his faith.

Catholic or Protestant, we need to get back to sharing the Gospel with the poor black population.

**Nobody in modern times has ever evangelized the black population that way.**

Philly preacher Gino Jennings RIPS the black community, telling them how pathetic they are, listing all their horrible sins against God, mocking their lifestyles (including the perverts), telling them: It’s heaven... or hell!!

His following is growing rapidly worldwide. He gets death threats, especially from the pervs, but keeps on shouting it.

When there is no higher authority -- God, law, ethics, morals, government, even -- individuals take judgment into their own hands.

The problem here is that urban black America has a dominant culture of self-justification. It is the result of the breakdown of the family, government-sponsored unemployment, and, as you say, an absence of God.

Oh, and all that times an insipid popular culture, magnified across every cell phone, that enshrines criminal and immoral behavior.
