Donald Trump found himself yet another Uncle Remus cotton patch filled with Black pastors to sit with him at a political ‘run away and hide’ press conference.
History has shown us that far too many Black Americans are an easy buy/sell target in far too many cases, but this kind of thing is specially-earmarked in ‘evangelical’ ranks where social and psychological education is at its lowest ever in the history of America.
It appears, for all intents, that Trump is advised on the ways of the Negro slave mentality and how it can be used to his advantage. His own included. Trump won’t get off the plantation and they’re not coming off it either. Ooops, where have we heard of THAT before?
Black conservatives and alleged “Black liberals” have been pitted against one another, AGAIN, and all Trump has to do is beg off on conservatism’s most prominent evangelical figurehead ministers, hat-in-hand, to convince what he believes to be a “white-Jesus-fearing flock of hell-scared Black folks” to follow him around and heed his every command.
Hunting Season is Now Open
Granted … Robert Mueller is not going to make very many friends regardless of what he does in this hour, no person of political influence ever makes friends when all hell breaks loose, but he’s truly taking a bullet to try and turn this nation rightside-up again, especially since the nationalist Bully of Welter-weight Wall Street is sitting in Hillary Clinton’s elected seat in Washington DC.
It’s an election year, mid-term turnover time, and here is Trump being “seen” with Black church leadership pulling a distracting ruse that one would think Black America would have gotten over a long time ago.
Notice the split in Black America: “Divide and Conquer” — willie-lynch-style
Even as Robert Mueller and his constituents close in on the treasonous Trump, and even as Trump’s own supporters fall off the chocolate cake wagon one slice at a time, and even as the entire WORLD — ad majorum — turns their collective back on Trump and pretends he’s not there any time he walks into a room (except when they’re trying to be politically polite), evangelicals somehow manage to use that as “proof”, somehow, that Trump is being persecuted ‘like Jesus’ when Trump is the one DOING the persecuting.
They don’t acknowledge the glaring differences, that while “Jesus” was busy feeding, praying for, and healing folks and didn’t charge them a dime for His services, Trump has decided that people who are not kissing his behind should starve, be ridiculed, and definitely left sick and dying.
Trump comes groveling at the Throne Room of Negro Christian Glory begging for assistance and legitimacy every time they get closer to calling him to the carpet for being the ‘inglorious ingrate’ of the United States of America, yet, they keep throwing a facetious cloak over his 230-pound muscular 350-pound flabby behind until he finds himself strengthened enough to cut them down.
Again.
Trump and Black preachers sittin’ in a tree … k-i-s-s-i-n-g
Mind you, Trump has NEVER EVER been a friend to the Black community, and still isn’t now.
But here come “The Jiggy Bunch”, fake fiddles in hand, dancing and carrying on about how “liberals” are always keeping Black people poor and how “conservatives” are trying to make them self-sufficient, and ‘ahem’ rich. RIGHT. Through those tithes and offerings, of course.
Make a few particular Black folks rich with that same-o lie, and they will drool like Pavlov’s dogs trying to convince other Black folks of the same.
As a Black woman, I feel free to call things what they are in my own community:
Don’t ask me no questions, I won’t tell you no lies.
My people are DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, and these “Black evangelical Pastors” Trump keeps spooning in the broad light of day … well, here’s one way to describe them: Spike Lee had ‘em pinned dead to right in BAMBOOZLED…
They don’t even know nor do they acknowledge all of the Black people out here being physically cut down and mentally LYNCHED on THEIR watch, with their ‘white jesus’ permission and with their ‘white jesus’ encouragement.
Their only concern is with Joel Osteen-ish and TD Jakes-prestige, paying for high-scale bling churches while Black people are wholesale in a political and economic crises that they are supposed to pretend isn’t really happening, just hold on to Trump’s unchanging hand, and “call those things that don’t exist as if they are” and everything will work out for us — we mean YOU — in the long run.
Forget the Souls of Black Folk.
W.E.B. DuBois had only a piece of the information we have now when he talked about the souls of Black folk and the conspicuous “Color Line.” That Color Line isn’t gone, but it is most assuredly hidden and not as conspicuous as it once was. Most of it was moved from the Mason-Dixon line to the divisive element now called the Black church, kind of blurred, so that wrapping a one hundred dollar bill around fifty ones so no one knows that $150 is all the money you have left in the whole world is a lot easier than it used to be.
Granted, they still don’t have much of a choice but to sell out to Trump, they OWE out more money than he does, but still Alveda King, (a/k/a “Samborita”) and the Class Clowns, Pastor Darrell Scott, Pastor John Gray, and many others like them have actually took up the gauntlet for the demon in the White House just to get paid.
Unfortunately, there are far too many Black folks who are going to sit there and dance under the spell of that church-house plantation fiddle. “Forgetting the past” long enough to repeat it seems to be a ‘thing’ we enjoy doing, for some inexplicable psychological reason.
Even worse, the Bible itself tells them, tells US, to NEVER forget the past and to remind the children of it DAILY so that they will never forget the truth about who they are and where they came from.
looking back: reagan’s lies and black churches
The last time I remember Black church-members getting trampled all over with these out of context scriptures was when Ronald Reagan was in office back in the 1980s.
They were told that Reagan was leading them back to the plantations one hamstring at a time and they laughed and said it would NEVER happen. Well...
Apparently, the devil knows more “word” than they do. He’s had more time to learn it and twist it. What they calling it now?
Oh yes.
The “school to prison pipeline,” the “corporate prison plantation systems,” and “Black Lives Matter?”
“We shall overcome one of these days like never” … in other words. Same thing, but decidedly without the physical chains and whips this go round.
Reagan2.0
Quote from NewsOne: “At a round table with ‘20 inner city pastors and faith leaders,’ Trump bragged about the Black unemployment being low (which had nothing to do with him, of course) and the First Step Act — a bill that is supposedly about prison reform but does nothing for sentencing reform.”
Some other folks tried that same mess on a smaller scale and three years later, it did jack nothing to help, so they got that right.
Now, forget Trump’s belief that ‘unemployment’ and ‘crime’ are the only issues Black America has, which is racist enough in itself, but Black evangelical conservative “Reb” Scott is also quoted as having said “This is probably the most pro-active administration regarding urban America and the faith-based community in my lifetime. This is probably going to be the most pro-Black president that we’ve had in our lifetime. … This president wants to prove something to our community. Our faith-based community and our ethnic community.”
LOL. No hell it isn’t. Liar. And Black folk capin’ for Trump is nothing more than proof of how easily Black folks can be bought and sold on a dime.
They even have Boyce Watkins, the nicer less-radical version of Dr. Umar Johnson, drawing a split between conservatives and liberals these days, but maybe he’s found another way to put another cash-out feeder vein into the Black community with the “we really want to help Black people #conservatives-versus-liberals” BS.
Sh*thole Mentality
Black America … if you want to know why you’re still in Donald Trump’s sh*thole nations worldwide … look at the Republican Party and the Conservatives, and then look at the Democrats who support them.
We call them “Blue Dogs,” but they are Democrat supporters of Conservative values and they are one and the same as far as Black America goes. It isn’t the liberals alone who are trying to convince us that because we’re Black we can’t get rich like them, it’s the folks OUTSIDE both rings who are saying WAKE UP! The racism hasn’t gone anywhere yet and there is no political party that is about to resolve it.
Wearing borrowed suits and carrying empty briefcases to network marketing meetings and pretending like you ‘got it going on’ will not change your life either.
That’s a bigger s-hole than the s-hole they keep shoving us into.
Tithing: The Man-made 11th Commandment
When those HURRICANES hit in Texas, those Joel-Osteenites, with their WooWoo Stick Christianity, were the first ones locking the doors to keep Black and colored folks out of their self-worship Bling Temples. BUT they’d have taken those “please help me turn $10 into $20” dollars out of their pockets if they’d only shown up the Sunday before when the offering plate was passed.
Even Conservative Republican and the late Barbara Bush told all of those Black and colored folks at the Houston Astrodome that they were better off in the STADIUM living like stable animals than they were in their own homes. [ Didn’t see her giving up one of her own many conservative Republican houses while she was running that piehole, but … ]
As long as you keep bringing those “tithes and offerings,” which was NEVER one of the Ten Commandments, ever …
Whatever.
Here’s a Moment of Truth: Tithers have died poor and non-tithers have died rich.
It has a purpose and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it isn’t what people are being told it is. It’s purpose, the purpose of tithing, has nothing to do with making people rich or personally enriching anyone, for that matter.
Put your evangelical pimp money back in your pocket and increase your income by ten-percent overnight.
the DESIRE FOR THE SUNKEN PLACE
ALL of them are looking for a seat at the Personal Favors Exchange, a seat at the Big WooWoo Stick Table, and easy rides into the notorious Sunken Place just so they can look cute on a photo opp and brag to all of their WooWoo friends about who they were seen with and where.
The powers that be are playing a head game on all of us, to tell the truth …
Poor and Black and Rich and Black are same thing in #Trumpnation, ask Ving Rhames and Oprah and even Bill Cosby and Skip Gates.
ALL that money and fame, and in the end, they are still a bunch of you-know-n-whats in the eyes of Trump and his knee-knocking neanderthals.
Smiling Faces Sometimes
It’s a good trick, this whooping and hollering about “white-Jesus,” and it usually works pretty well.
Smile — because all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.
Twenty-five years from now, at this rate, Black folk will find themselves right back where they are now unless they, unless we begin to understand that the past is used as leverage.
No outside inflammatory noise that gets the wrong attention for all the wrong reasons can stop that.
Not even churchfolk, pastors, evangelicals, nothing — can maintain such a superficial money-driven facade for so long that no one can break through or penetrate the mask that covers up for christian witchcraft.
Black is Black, white is white, hell is hot, sin ain’t right
Pay attention…
All that WooWoo Stick Americana from President Obama, all of that money and education and all of that fame and high education, and in the end, all Obama was to them a you-know-n-what, and still is to this very day.
Folks, even if you manage to get rich and famous somehow once you learn the operation of money in the world and the way it works, wherever Obama is right now in their eyes and minds is where “you” (all of us) land regardless.
Don’t believe it? Just watch.
Watch how quick they will try to prove this is not true by chucking a few pennies and a couple of limousine “Jobs Buses” your way on Black national defense at election time, then go slipping off and shopping at the BMW and Lincoln Mercury showroom the minute you’ve forgotten what they did after you have that crisp new $100 bill in your hot little hands.
NOTE: FOX News will tell you that#BLM Is boycotting WHITE capitalism, (that OTHER SUNKEN PLACE), but all that means is that FOX recognizes that “white capitalism” versus Black capitalism is central to many of the problems Black America often faces. It isn’t capitalism, OR white capitalism, but the way it is handled -like we’re all still living on plantations and begging for welfare checks- that is the REAL issue at hand. They learned, however, to keyword-code and social media their way into the top Google searches, because no one has time to dig out the actual truth. Just whatever Trump-Russian algorithms says is all that is needed before election time in November. Once the 2018 mid-term elections are over, they won’t speak of it again until somewhere close to 2020. Win and forget, that’s the credo.
it’s a sin AND a shame to zip folks’es heads up like that every election cycle with these non-unifying distractions, but as long as we’re playing along, why the hell not?
Black Pastors and White Terrorism
We did not see very many (none, actually) Black people posing for photo opps with folk like Byron de la Beckwith, ‘Ted’ Kacyzinski, George Zimmerman, Jeffrey Dahmer-types, and Roy Bryant back then … but now it’s not so impossible any more.
It’s a “thing” nowadays, like a spiced rack Zombie, where these Black Pastors like to play head games with #Eurojesus, as racist and murderous as he is in Black America.
Never let it be said that a “white capitalist” had an issue sitting their fat@’s down at a table prepared for them by unpaid Black people, but when the shoe is on the other foot … the other shoe DROPS so quickly that there ARE no shoes.
I’d be willing to bet they’d never tell Trump to bring George Zimmerman up on federal charges for committing a hate crime against Trayvon Martin. Stand Your Ground, remember, only applies to white people shooting unarmed Black folks cold dead in the streets for no reason.
Black folks who stand their ground even in their own homes and neighborhoods, even women like Marissa Alexander, get the death penalty and/or life in prison for defending themselves on their own territory.
Remember what was said about Dred Scott, and even what Jeff Sessions said about Black rights as seen through their white eyes “A Black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect.”
Forget the converse, which ultimately means that “A white man makes no laws, then, that a Black man is bound to respect” as an equalizer.
We are supposed to be too dumb to figure this out, but then again, they are the same Black folks who will swear that the forefathers had Black folks in slave chains in mind when they drummed up all that noise about freedoms in 1776.
Black people, at the time, were fighting for freedoms they did not have and that were not part of the plan. A Civil Rights Movement, twice, in the late 1860s and 1960s, had to come along and get itself assassinated in order to find a place for a coat hanger in the American freedoms closet.
That fight has not ended, but to hear them tell it, it has.
#NOT
Glad President Obama didn’t kiss their behinds, muslims, christians, and all
It’s a good thing President Obama didn’t get gaslit by them like Trump is lighting them up now.
President Obama had tried to work with them before, back when all “support Black people” meant was “I need cash, expensive dinner tickets, and TV-time with you” so I can impress the rest and get them to give me more money.
But he refused to entertain them like all their white conservative friends can ape them day in and day out. They had to unmitigated gall to get mad about it, too. LOL.
Obama had to give Black and colored “disenfranchised” America a hand-held position called “My Brother’s Keeper” [MBK] and they even sat back and let that be destroyed on Trump’s watch.
Man, even in a small town called Columbus, Georgia, the younger voice of the NAACP was snuffed out when a Black woman dared to try to force them to live up to the code they were created for.
The entire officers’ staff got kicked out by the Nationals, just because of jealous old Black folks who wanted to keep their prestige and self-esteem in white circles, and they simultaneously killed off the voice of a young Black woman who preferred truth and justice over racial bling and Jefferson-Jackson dinners.
Oh, the self-destruction is real, PEOPLE.
Good that President Obama kicked the dust off his feet when it came to these “evangelicals,” and kept it moving.
Turns out he was right.
Chicken George from ‘ROOTS’ is Back in full effect
Mind you, these evangelicals are the same African-American christo-political types who helped Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton spawn and cause the MASS INCARCERATION of Black people over Doing-Anything-while-Black.
They also helped to beef up and support the school-to-prison pipelines, helped to conservatively keep Black people in poverty and dire straits and out of marketplace competition in the business world. As Claude Anderson once said “What do these people conserve? NOTHING that I can see.”
They also helped to make certain that “Stand Your Ground” laws did not apply even when Black people stood to protect their own families, their own homes, and their own communities … but hey —
Chicken George, git ‘ur fiddle! We told you they never wanted to leave the plantation! and Yee and Haw!
Uhm … where’s Ving?
Ving Rhames is the latest casualty to have a big name ‘faux pas’ happen when a cop pulled a gun on him IN HIS OWN HOME for being “big and black” while going through his own front doors.
To our knowledge, he’s never been seem at a #BLM protest, but the folks who called the cops on him in his own home will dog out #BLM in a heartbeat.
His type usually has to wait until it happens to them before they see it, but oh how easily we forget …
Wasn’t it not that long ago, that ‘Skip’ Gates, who simmered waaaay down at his plantationesque “keep ‘em calm before we kill ‘em” network marketing meeting at the White House on Obama’s watch with the white cop who tried to kill him at his own house just as angry for a hot second?
Yeah. Just like that. Fuggedaboutit…
NEXT!!!
That was just the whipped cream, here’s the cherry on top
Trump uses those “evangelical pastors” like O.J. Simpson used Black folks—at critical times (like MUELLER TIME!) when they are the ONLY stale leftover fruitcakes he has left who are dumb enough to cover for him.
O.J. got off because he didn’t do any actual killing himself, like Trump says he CAN kill someone in broad daylight and walk.
However, if Marcia whats-her-face and her Black friend whozits had gone after him for CONSPIRACY to commit murder, which carried the same penalty, he’d have BEEN in prison or surely fried up and served like Col. Sanders chicken by now.
But just like Black folks stuck by O.J. then, they are sticking to Trump now, and here he still is. Trump, that is.
(Hint: OJ’s ‘Black Pass’ expired a long time ago, but T-Rump can stay in their playpens as long as he gives them cash to take his side when Mueller comes for him.)
So what?
Trump’s own people are turning up the heat on that gold-plated “two-course dinner and dessert”, so now he comes running to Black folks aping at them for free dessert.
If Trump is above the law, their Black bottoms wouldn’t be if they did what he did. They’d have been skinned and boiled on the accusation alone, the hell with the evidence. Yet...
If Trump was above the law, they wouldn’t be tossing out his co-conspirators and Russian friends left and right; and they certainly would NOT have to bring coloring books, crayons, and flashcards to the Adult Daycare Center in DC to question him so that he can’t get away with pretending to misunderstand-while-tweeting. And he wouldn’t have Rudy Guiliani out here acting confused and having one senior moment after another while backing Trump up one second and cutting him down the next.
Even worse, it appears that this Black religionista evangelical faction has not learned the biggest GOLDEN RULE to beat ALL GOLDEN RULES:
Believe people when they ~SHOW ~ you what they are.

UPDATE: Last heard, one of the pastors, John Gray, had the unmitigated gall to tweet that those opposed to Trump ‘do not have the heart of Christ’.
He has no scriptural reference whatsoever to back that up. Not one.
Indeed it is Donald Trump who does NOT have the Heart of Christ, but that of a racist satanic sex-imbibed money-hungry fascist demon.
Alveda King herself is a Black female racist of the Clarence Thomas kith and kind. She has proven her own “Jezebel spirit” over and over every time there is opportunity for her to make race money monkey-swinging Dr. Martin Luther’s King Jr’s name.
Do NOT be deceived, for God is not mocked. Whatsoever a (wo)man soweth, that shall (s)he also reap.

The AME Council of Bishops Takes A Stand Against the Filthmongering and Hateful Policies of the Crime-drenched Trump Administration
Says the Black church is called again to be the “conscience of the nation,” with regard to behavior, policies and issues of national importance. Will soon announce SOCIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY to take place in Washington, DC.
AME Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, President, quotes — “The church has a MORAL OBLIGATION to lead the charge for prophetic action in times like these.”
