The whole article is dumbfounding to me.
You have a white conservative pastor who apparently has made it a point to preach within the black community and do outreach (such as clinics and trash pickup projects) in the black community and he’s now being ostracized for doing too good a job and the “sin” of liking tweets from people connected to Trump.
In particular, there’s this paragraph:
“When Hodges announced he planned to start a church in west Birmingham in 2018, some established black pastors condemned the effort. The Rev. Michael R. Jordan, pastor of New Era Baptist Church on the west side of downtown, called Hodges a slavemaster and put up a sign that said, Black Folks Need to Stay Out of White Churches.”
Tell me who’s the bigot and segregationist here? Who’s the one being divisive?
Hodges, for his part, seems to be backpedaling as fast as Drew Brees or Mike Gundy. It’s sickening that you aren’t even allowed to like something on Twitter now without people trying to start a race war over it.
The only people that would go through all the trouble of tracking someone’s likes on Twitter are political hate squads, looking for anything to tear someone down.
I don’t know Hodges at all. I wonder if his success is partly by following the megachurch formula of preaching the “prosperity gospel” that praying to Jesus makes you rich. Such ministers are heretics.
But it terms of living out the “social” gospel, he seemed to be doing everything the SJW’s say whites should do and this is how he’s treated. It’s reaching a point where the BLM/SJW/Antifa crowd are no longer able to reason. They simply demand purity from whites at all cost with no tolerance of independent thought welcome in any measure.

A Great post!
I agree wholeheartedly!
The tares are being separated from the wheat. Your post suggests it within so-called “churches” like the one led by the racist black preacher.
God will hold them all in derision. That’s a promise.
Christians had better be prepared because zealots like “Rev” Jordan and BLM will come with pitchforks and torches in the night to slay if we continue to back-peddle and allow them to keep holding the narrative.
I’m not joking..
