Churches across Alabama are known for their clever and sometimes humorous signs promoting the Sunday sermon –but not many people are laughing at the sign outside the New Era Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.
“They’re calling me a hate-monger,” Pastor Michael R. Jordan told Fox News. “Most whites down South don’t like it.”
The sign reads, “George Zimmerman jury supported white racism.” It was first reported by Birmingham news reporter Greg Garrison.
Jordan said he made the decision to post the controversial statement after preaching the Sunday night message, calling Zimmerman a ‘”racist” and his acquittal a “racist verdict.”
“I believe racism and bias and prejudice caused the jury to be sympathetic,” he told Fox News. “Race played a major, major role in their decision and in their thinking.”
He said the 100-member congregation was stunned by the verdict.
“George Zimmerman deputized himself as a law enforcement agent,” Jordan said. “I feel he was a racist. He was stereotyping. He stalked and killed Trayvon Martin.”
The black minister also placed blame on white pastors.
“There’s been a breakdown in the white clergy,” he said. “They refuse to preach against blatant racism in America.”
As a result, he believes the lives of black Americans have been devalued.
“We can send Michael Vick to prison for killing dogs, but we can’t send George Zimmerman to prison for murdering an African-American young man.”
Jordan said he’s gotten lots of complaints about the sign but he refuses to take it down.
“They tell me I’m spreading hate,” he said “But the sign is staying up.”
I believe who says race first is the racist.
‘strapping young black men’
A lefty Afro-American swashbuckler had a literary homo-erotic wet-dream the other day, describing such Trayvons™ as: “glistening black bucks.” Charles Blow, that’s who it was.
The left is one big insane asylum lately. Heh.
Sweet!
Concerning the 1 hispanic on the jury...I read that she might have had some AA blood, at least she couldn’t be called a “white” hispanic. Because she just had a certain “look” about her that cause observers to think so.
Quite a few posters here seemed to assume she would be a typical Obama Democrat from Chicago -she had just moved to FL from there.
Then there was the black who was excluded from the jury by the prosecutor when it was learned he got his news from the FNC.
This is a Black Rage Ping List, (by request,) to cover the aftermath of the GZ trial and archive the incidents. Let me know. And please add "blackrage" to the keywords. Thank you.
“What the h*** is the matter with people? Has the world gone nuts?”
Racism blossomed as soon as Hussein took his first oath of office as president. He and Holder want racial war.
Ouch. That’s going to leave a mark.
This is the current situation. If you’re NOT willing to act based on race — then you are a racist.
They want it so they can declare martial law and suspend the constitution. I don’t know why they think it matters though. They haven’t gone by a damn word of it so far anyway.
