ohn Pavlovitz, who pastors North Raleigh Community Church in North Carolina, writes a heartfelt letter to white evangelicals:
Dear White Evangelicals,
I need to tell you something: People have had it with you. They’re done.
They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:
They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.
For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity. They watched you deny his personal faith convictions, argue his birthplace, and assail his character—all without cause or evidence. They saw you brandish Scriptures to malign him and use the laziest of racial stereotypes in criticizing him.
And through it all, White Evangelicals—you never once suggested that God placed him where he was, you never publicly offered prayers for him and his family, you never welcomed him to your Christian Universities, you never gave him the benefit of the doubt in any instance, you never spoke of offering him forgiveness or mercy,your evangelists never publicly thanked God for his leadership,your pastors never took to the pulpit to offer solidarity with him,you never made any effort to affirm his humanity or show the love of Jesus to him in any quantifiable measure.
You violently opposed him at every single turn—without offering a single ounce of the grace you claim as the heart of your faith tradition. You jettisoned Jesus as you dispensed damnation on him.
And yet today, you openly give a "mulligan" to a white Republican man so riddled with depravity, so littered with extramarital affairs, so unapologetically vile, with such a vast resume of moral filth—that the mind boggles. And the change in you is unmistakable. It has been an astonishing conversion to behold: a being born again. With him, you suddenly find religion.With him, you’re now willing to offer full absolution.With him, all is forgiven without repentance or admission.With him you’re suddenly able to see some invisible, deeply buried heart.With him, sin has become unimportant, compassion no longer a requirement.With him, you see only Providence.
And White Evangelicals, all those people who have had it with you—they see it all clearly.
They recognize the toxic source of your duality. They see that pigmentation and party are your sole deities. They see that you aren’t interested in perpetuating the love of God or emulating the heart of Jesus.They see that you aren’t burdened to love the least, or to be agents of compassion, or to care for your Muslim, gay, African, female, or poor neighbors as yourself.They see that all you’re really interested in doing, is making a God in your own ivory image and demanding that the world bow down to it.They recognize this all about white, Republican Jesus—not dark-skinned Jesus of Nazareth.
And I know you don't realize it, but you're digging your own grave in these days; the grave of your very faith tradition.
Your willingness to align yourself with cruelty is a costly marriage. Yes, you've gained a Supreme Court seat, a few months with the Presidency as a mouthpiece, and the cheap high of temporary power—but you've lost a whole lot more. You've lost an audience with millions of wise, decent, good-hearted, faithful people with eyes to see this ugliness.You've lost any moral high ground or spiritual authority with a generation.You've lost any semblance of Christlikeness.You've lost the plot.And most of all you've lost your soul.
I know it's likely you'll dismiss these words. The fact that you've even made your bed with such malevolence, shows how far gone you are and how insulated you are from the reality in front of you.
But I had to at least try to reach you. It’s what Jesus would do.
Maybe you need to read what he said again—if he still matters to you.
Although this is a blog, I've seen this being posted all over Facebook by liberals. I think there is a change of mind, from desire to wanting to take action to marginalize white Christians from their ability to defend themeself.
We may see legislations to this effect in the near future.
This guy’s a pastor? Rots a ruck.
John Pavlovitz, is this guy black?
Leftists are a cancer on western civilization
lol ... not the slightest hint of infidelity from bathhouse Barry? And no cause to argue his birthplace? Obama’s own book claimed he was was the first Senator from Kenya... not to mention he was pro-baby killing... spare me the righteous indignation.

“You violently opposed him at every single turn”
When was Barry O. *ever* “violently opposed?” I mean, once, let alone “at every turn.” The hyperbole is the real problem with these peeps.
Clicked on the link and copied the name of the publication above the article title: LGBTQ Magazine
Enough said.
Strawmen are the only reality these psychopaths know.
“What the Progressive Socialist Liberals Have In Store for Conservatives: A Master Course In Government Sponsored Genocide.”
KEY REMINDERS
“White Privilege” means “Scheduled for Genocide”.
“Diversity Officers” collect names, put them on lists.
Never permit yourself to be disarmed.
You need to be lethal, and not afraid to use a weapon.
“Door to door gun collection” means SHTF is about to happen.
All genocide originates from the wealthy leadership.
Stay away from crowds.
When ordered to report to mass collection points – run for the woods.
Your neighbors WILL turn you in.
TAKE AWAYS
The SHTF and CWII will happen because there is no one undoing the pre-genocidal preparations for it. As such, we can expect the following truths…
You will not know there is a full-on Civil War until you are in the midst of it.
The American Second Civil War (CWII) will be a genocidal event of enormous scale.
There will be an organized effort to disarm prior to the war. It may or may not happen.
The timetable for the war has already been established. It’s going to happen whether everything is in place or not.
The real danger of the progressive liberal army lies well hidden from public scrutiny. It is kept intentionally hidden. Just like in Rwanda, the conspirators held very secret meetings, and had secret handshakes, and shirts that they wore to identify each other. Chess pieces are moving into place.
Once your hands are tied and bound behind your back it will be too late.
Diversity Officers and their confederates will have you already earmarked as subversive.
Whole-scale mass murder will be the norm.
There will not be any Bill of Rights to protect you when the police are run by progressive liberals.
Refugee camps will be dangerous and unhealthy places to be trapped in.
The news media will not be reporting anything but the most trivial events. At that, it will be slanted in favor of progressives.
Conservative websites and news might be blocked or difficult to access.
Nah. Guilty white guy. He also wrote a piece back in 2016 called “Thank you, Hillary”, if that shows ya anything.
Funny thing is. I really do not care what this guy thinks. Obama was the liar in chief and chief of government corruption. Sorry but this man’s dog won’t hunt. Nice try though.
I know. However, they are an outsized influence and is probably an indication of the future.
>>For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity.
The Obamas sought marriage counseling at one point. Bathhouse Barry had more validity to it than the FBI-DNC-Communist Party rumor of a Trump Pee Pee video.
False flag attack.
Lots of “churches” in this country have gone atheist in the last 50 years or so.Sounds like this is one of them.
The future? I’d say a replay of Genesis 19 when they go full bore militant.
Black or white, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a Pharisee and a Judas.
FYI this is from 2018.
It does well represent the current view of the Democrat party and the entire left, however.
More lie-filled demonizing of white people from the left. Any student of history knows that this is not going to end well, but I’ll make sure I’m not brought to my end in vain.
