Black Pastors Say Black Lives Matter Is 'Demonic,' 'Shameful' and 'Tragic'

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.

Such a shame, such a era of wasted lives for the black community. I knew there were many fine black pastors and their churches, but such a shame they were silenced. Glad this is coming out and I sure hope it grows.

You know it looks like the MEDIA is every ones ENEMY. IN fact I do believe they stir it up first to get the story and watch the riots grow to sell more of the garbage. SCAB PICKERS they are.

A 1997 Movie "Mad City" speaks just to what I said about the Press/Media. John Travolta and Dustin Hoffman. With Dustin Hoffman as a journalist who stirs up a situation that amounted to nothing until Travolta's role was killed. Hoffman's role walks away as if he did nothing. Worth watching. Strange how they reveal just what they do.

The “black lives matter” folks need to march in the ghettos
of Chicago, that's where all the black on black shootings
take place!

Pray for them and the rest of the us too.
