A group of black pastors asserted Wednesday that in order to change the impoverished, crime-stricken cultures in America's inner cities, more emphasis needs to be placed on responsibility, education and entrepreneurship instead of blaming the police for problems facing troubled African-Americans.
Bishop E.W. Jackson from The Called Church in Chesapeake, Virginia, and other black ministers from the organization STAND (Staying True to America's National Destiny) gathered at the National Press Club to announce the launch of Project Awakening, a private-sector, church-centered, comprehensive plan for the recovery of America's inner cities that focuses on teaching children they have options and responsibilities in life.
While the pastors detailed how the project aims to build relationships between churches, police, the black community and businesses to create cultural renewal, entrepreneurial awakening, and technical education for inner city children, the ministers did not refrain from chastising the Black Lives Matter movement for propagating a "demonic" message that does not offer a solution but simply puts police officers in harm's way.

These pastors deserve support
Half of the article is blocked for me, but is there any mention of a return to God?
Good for the black pastors.
We also need to get jobs. Trump would help those communities by bringing jobs back.
Demonic, Shameful and Tragic describes the Obama White House perfectly
He is right! The Democrats have given blacks to Satan. they will get more from Trump than Hillary.
I’m glad they have clear vision!
The article mentions a return to moral living and responsibility.
Excerpt: “We know that if people wait until marriage to have children, if they get an education and they actually go to work, even if they start with medial work, we know that if they do those three things, they will not be in poverty,” Jackson contended. “We are asking for people to support us in creating an opportunity for them to get out of that environment into a clean healthy environment where they are taught not only the academic disciplines that they need to know, but where they are taught a new sense of what it means to be a human being, a new sense of character.”
“Telling young ladies that your body is sacred and you shouldn’t be having sex with any guy that comes along and tells you he cares about you, and telling young men they shouldn’t be having sex with young ladies and fathering children that you can’t then take care of. You ought to be waiting until you get married to have children,” Jackson continued.
We all knew to make changes in the Ghettos it would have to come from the Blacks themselves and I don't mean the Sharptons or Jacksons ilk.
Finally.......
This is certainly better than most crap thrown about but I don’t understand what the ‘black community” is? I thought that race is just a skin color?
Just another anti-American terrorist group.
The “black community” exists because until now, it has wanted to exist. The “black community” has been dominated by race hustlers, thugs, aspiring “rap artists” and other enablers. These pastors want to change that. They deserve support.
I think this has always been here. If you think of the black pastors that attempted to blunt the violence in Baltimore you will realize that it has been blunted by the violent rhetoric of the BLM activists and ignored by the media and disowned by the black political class. Grievance and entitlement rule.
“A group of black pastors asserted”
A group of black pastors asserted that they REALLY ARE NOT the largest profesional group of FAILURES in this country.
Their goals have continually NOT BEEN MET...bastardy/theft/welfare fraud/killing of their own etc etc ....Moral failings/unlawful behavior STILL rampant....all out of proportion to their % of population...
Surrender ! The war on poverty should end..50+ years is enuf !
Listen.....Obama, Sharpton, the CBC, the NAACP have thrown African-Americans under the bus so many times, one, cannot keep count!!! The Black Pastors...that have stood by and supported Obama, etc., have finally seen Obama has done more to set back African-Americans in the USA more then any hatefull anti-African-American, could have ever done. Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, DC, Chicago, etc., are open slaughter houses for Black on Black, unchecked murder and crime.
The Black Pastors see the light, thank God!!! Hopefully their flocks of Black worshippers will also see the light and, will move accordingly to travel on the “real” road to a better life and destiny for all!!! Dump Obama, Dump Clinton, Dump the entire Democrat Party!!!
Which article are you reading ?
Which is why the left loves them so much.
The one that says #blacklivesmatter is “demonic”, “shameful” and “tragic”. They are just another terrorist group.
I'm sure we will also hear Sharpton and Jesse support this. /s
#blacklivesmatter is A FRONT GROUP for REVCOM(com as in COMMUNIST).
