Black Churches Burn Across the South
Truth Revolt ^ | 6.30.2015 | Mark Tapson

The Washington Post reports that six predominately black churches have burned in the last week in the wake of the Charleston church massacre perpetrated by a white supremacist. Currently arson is suspected in at least three of those fires.

The first fire came on June 21 when someone set fire to some hay bales outside the College Hill Seventh Day Adventist in Knoxville, Tennessee. The church sustained minor damage, and police said the fire is being investigated as arson but not as a hate crime.

Early June 23, God’s Power Church of Christ in Macon, Georgia, caught fire. Firefighters arrived to discover that the front doors were wired shut, so they had to enter through a side door. That incident was ruled an arson, though it's not yet determined that it was a hate crime.

Early the next day, Charlotte’s Briar Creek Road Baptist Church was set ablaze. It took more than 75 firefighters over an hour to get the fire under control and, by then, it had caused more than $250,000 worth of damage and demolished the church’s main building. A probe determined that the fire “was intentionally set.”

Two days later the Glover Grove Baptist Church in Warrenville, South Carolina, burned down. Police said no cause for the fire has been determined.

Two other churches caught fire last week as well — Fruitland Presbyterian Church in Gibson County, Tennessee, and the Greater Miracle Temple Apostolic Holiness Church in Tallahassee, Florida. Authorities believe the fires were caused by lightning and electrical wires, respectively, but they are still investigating.

“We want to be sure, 100 percent sure, that this was an accidental fire, not on purpose,” said Gibson County Fire Chief Bryan Cathey.

No churchgoers were injured in any of the fires.

Don’t forget the ever present insurance money.

I doubt seriously insurance money is the motive but it sure is a nice incentive for allowing your church to be burned for the greater good.

In 1996 with B Clintons reelection it was black churches being burned in 2007 with Hillary’s try for the WH it was nooses being hung up everywhere.

Both were being done by blacks for the greater good.

I can almost guarantee a repeat of Hillary’s “noose campaign” is right around the corner because she knows the MSM will never report the facts and the average dem voter is too stupid to know it’s been done before.

This is going to be the new meme.

I saw a post earlier that had some stats on the historical numbers relating to churches. There has been no spike in this kind of thing.

Yea, I remember the last time they tried this fraud. Never actually caught any “racists” burning anything. Not one. Such horses***.

The ginning up of civil unrest with the black churches being burned by white racist BS was only half of what they were doing.

Remember how Ron Brown was scared out of his mind as to what B Clinton was doing?

While B Clinton was ginning up civil unrest with his black churches burning BS, B Clinton’s buddies the Chinese military was caught smuggling in full auto weapons for the gangs in LA described as enough weapons for a small army.

B Clinton and his Chinese buddies were fully prepared to start what could only be described as a race war to keep B Clinton in the WH.

There were people that claimed R Brown had helped orchestrate the 1992 LA race riots so it’s a pretty good bet R Brown knew what was going on.
