Local law. I’m talking about being exempt from federal taxes. Local governments can do whatever the hell they want.
Do they use magic accounting that’s different from non-black churches?
Are you sure about that? Ok then, if you say so.
Go to one and find out. I did. Several times.
The economy is so great there will soon be no more needy.
Problem solved.
I do believe no 501c3 has ever lost their exempt status for violating the Johnson Amendment.
I want to vote B AND C.
How was the Clinton Foundation involved in politics? What politician/political party did the Foundation support?
Noted. My apologies for the hanging chad.
I would say churches should not be going political, but since white megadollar megachurches are overtly politically in the tank for Donnie, I don’t think anything should come of this incident. We have decided, apparently, that we don’t care.
“Jordan is not the only religious leader to express political views in the era of Trump. And some have used their platforms to speak in favor of the president. Robert Jeffress, the senior pastor at the prominent Texas megachurch First Baptist Dallas, has become a staunch supporter of the president and frequently appears on Fox News, Texas Monthly reported. He once called evangelical Christians who do not support Trump “spineless morons."”

All I’m asking for are examples. Those emojis aren’t examples.
I agree, despite the whataboutism, which was never in contention. The topic of this discussion is small black churches and the accusation of racism.
While there are other areas of the country in which churches have played a pivotal role in community organizing, I think we are hard put to find a stronger or more recent model. Where would the civil rights movement have been without the black church and Reverend King?
Churches are mandated to fight social injustice, to provide sanctuary, to light the path.
I support this church’s activism. Not the racism.

I’m waiting for some examples. It’s your claim.
Ok, stay right there. I’ll be back.
I’ve heard people claim there’s no such thing as a stupid question…
That Atlah one is in Harlem btw
The head of that church is a nutbar.
Personally nothing. I never understand the reason behind silencing churches except to shut them out.
Maybe it’s racist. Like gun control.
It’s definitely pay to opine.
