Black Communities Ravaged by COVID-19. Black Churches Still Meeting.

[Mac-7]

And yet, AMAZINGLY, White Leftist Shamers on USMB are silent about it and we don't see any Black Pastors being arrested on television. We have fat crocodile tears about the "mega churches". (Black churches are never "mega churches" for some reason.)

I wonder why that is, any ideas?

When deciding to close the doors of black churches, congregational leaders across the US wrestle with unique considerations. Paul J. James, pastor of CareView Community Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, noted in an interview with The Undefeated how closing is “counterintuitive to most churches, especially the black church… where we’re just glad to get together because of how hard life has been historically for us here in America. Church has been a safe place for us. It’s been a safe harbor. Now here we are faced with the inability to come together.”

Last week, the federal government strongly urged Americans not to gather in groups of more than 10, and restrictions keep coming. We suspect that many churches will close in the near future, but the decision will not been easy.

In St. Louis, the mayor hosted a teleconference with 300 clergy, including many of black churches, to urge them not to hold services. While some chose to stop meetings and modify their ministries, others struggled to make the change.

In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned gatherings of more than 50 but then exempted churches from penalties. This will give some churches more options, though many are choosing to modify in some way. Triumph Church, which has seven locations in the Detroit area, will continue to gather in person, for now, though it expanded the number of services to reduce congregation size and is asking members to register ahead of time so it can maintain at least six feet between worshippers. It is also providing an online service and a drive-in service.

A lot of things inform these responses to the coronavirus outbreak: culture, histories of discrimination, and marginalization, as well as faith-based values. People experience events like COVID-19 not only as individuals but also in communities and in the social locations we inhabit. As social scientists—Deidra as a black woman doing research on HPV and Elaine as a white woman who studies how religious organizations respond to science—we offer some observations based on our research for the past 10 years at the Religion and Public Life Program at Rice University. We have been gathering upwards of 150 religious and civic leaders regularly to talk about how we can use social science research on religion to build common ground for the common good.

It’s Hard to Close Black Churches amid COVID-19

Drop the white victimhood lady. There are black mega churches. And apparently blacks in Florida aren't holding services in churches. And its always funny when a republican like you suddenly gets so concerned about blacks only after somebody white gets arrested for something that you can't see blacks getting arrested for.

Nobody black will be calling COVID19 a racist disease. But that's how you racists see black people. Normal non racist whites would not make that kind of comment.

Black churches need to close just like everybody else. But what you really need to do Sue is work on ending the racism in the white community that has you posting this instead of whining "what about black pastors, why don't they get arrested."

They are already starting in on the racism absolutely. Of course it's racism and not the fact that Blacks in Detroit are still congregating in family groups; still going to church in groups.

Although Detroit has the highest concentration of cases, several suburbs that surround the city have low rates of coronavirus including Dearborn, Allen Park and Grosse Pointe Park.

All are predominantly white.

Tlaib said “it is very clear that structural racism is showing its ugly face during this global pandemic.”

“It is communities of color, especially the African-American community in my district, that you see getting directly impacted,” she said.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, said even if it was made public, existing data on coronavirus may not illustrate the full effect in communities of color.

“We're testing only people who come in with severe disease,” said El-Sayed, the former health director of the City of Detroit who ran for governor in 2018 as a Democrat.

“Frankly, I think that we would be very much underestimating the burden that this disease has in low-income communities and communities of color.”

I'm black sue, please stop trying to tell me what blacks are thinking. Funny how you are on this but you run from the reality of white racist American public policy. COVID19 will hit the black community hard due to the scarcity of medical facilities in that community, low incomes and the inability to afford health insurance. And that is due to racism. So like I said, you don't want to discuss white racist American public policy, but you want to run your mouth about some black churches in Detroit.

Everyone knows what blacks are thinking. You guys cant stop talking about racism.

That's because you guys can't stop being racists.

Blah blah blah racism.

It's all you clowns have. Nobody gives a shit about your identity politics.

Given that whites invented identity politics and still practice it, your psychosis is noted.

I always love that one. Let's review.

One bickering faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, colonial, breaks up with another faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, British.

The new "free" american society sets up a "representative" democratic form of governance in which only affluent white males of the gentry are granted "the right" to vote. The fuckwit you're responding to would not have been among them. Furthermore, the senate, is not even up for scrutiny of the vote by the chosen voting class, but appointed by a further select group of the "fweedumb" loving aristocracy.

What is more ID politics than ok, only rich white boys vote, you're all free to suck on that.

Your head is stuck in the 18th Century

The America you hate so much is the same nation that set blacks free

If you hate whitey so much why are you living in a predominantly white country? There's a whole goddamn continent full of your brethren. Go there. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

LOL! Same old dumb shit from a different white racist asshole. I was born here, so I will live here. I have a constitutional right to air my grievance. If you don't like that, there's a whole continent full of your brethren. Go there. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

"Look at me, I'm a victim!!"

^That's literally all your diatribes are. You're pathetic.

Nah, that's not it fragile boy. I descend from people who have endured what your punk ass never could. So what you need to do softie is go into your community and rid it of the insecurity and victim mentality that allows white racism to continue.

Your supposed endurance clearly hasn't morphed into any form of achievement or ambition, because here you are demanding "do this for me whitey" - typical African American behavior. I don't need to do shit. And your infantile rants aren't going to make me do shit. But feel free to keep screaming "gibs me dat!!" while society passes you by like the little fucking leech you are.

Actually it has and the reality is we ask whitey to give us what we are owed because whitey has what he does because of us. Psychosis is a typical white racist mental disorder so you might want to get some help. Unfortunately for you, I have done very well in life. Better than you have, therefore I am society and while you wasted all your life listening to white flunkouts spewing racism so you could feel properly victimized, I was out whipping racisms ass. And I will continue to do so, while you repeat bullshit you were taught by white flunkouts and losers.

You are a loser in a nation set up for you to make it and that's all you will ever be.

Who's whining now, Europe beckons.

I'll stick to the land my ancestors conquered and bequeathed to me. Thanks.

Your ancestors immigrated from Europe. They didn't conquer anything. Unless you call genocide conquering. My ancestors built this country while your lazy ass ancestors sat ion their ass. Besides the Native Americans gave your ancestors permission to be here and until they tell me I have to leave, no white man can say shit. Therefore I will retain my right to air my grievance pertaining to white racism and you will accept my freedom to do so.

I don't have to accept shit. And your revisionist historical bullshit only exists in your head. The USA was founded and conquered by Europeans. Deal with it.

Until the constitution says differently, you will accept my right to air my grievance against whites racists. Documented historical fact cannot be revised. Europeans attempted genocide in order to gain a numerical majority in this country. Deal with it.

You clearly don't understand the Constitution. You are free to whine about whatever you like. I am free to disregard it. Ergo, you cannot force me to accept anything. Moron.

But you're right about Europeans. We conquered us the shit out of some natives.

I understand the law better than you do. You murdered natives, you did not conquer them. That's why Native American nations still exist in this one.

I was never a slave owner and you were never a slave.
I owe you nothing and you are owed nothing.

If you really want someone to be mad at go plead your case to the nations who sold your ancestors to the slave ships to begin with. It wasn't whitey dragging you out of the jungles, it was your own.

Oops.

In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned gatherings of more than 50 but then exempted churches from penalties. This will give some churches more options, though many are choosing to modify in some way. Triumph Church, which has seven locations in the Detroit area, will continue to gather in person, for now, though it expanded the number of services to reduce congregation size and is asking members to register ahead of time so it can maintain at least six feet between worshippers. It is also providing an online service and a drive-in service.

A lot of things inform these responses to the coronavirus outbreak: culture, histories of discrimination, and marginalization, as well as faith-based values.

It’s Hard to Close Black Churches amid COVID-19

African American clergy respond to pandemic with unique considerations of culture, history, and faith values.

Drop the white victimhood lady. There are black mega churches. And apparently blacks in Florida aren't holding services in churches. And its always funny when a republican like you suddenly gets so concerned about blacks only after somebody white gets arrested for something that you can't see blacks getting arrested for.

Nobody black will be calling COVID19 a racist disease. But that's how you racists see black people. Normal non racist whites would not make that kind of comment.

Black churches need to close just like everybody else. But what you really need to do Sue is work on ending the racism in the white community that has you posting this instead of whining "what about black pastors, why don't they get arrested."

They are already starting in on the racism absolutely. Of course it's racism and not the fact that Blacks in Detroit are still congregating in family groups; still going to church in groups.

Although Detroit has the highest concentration of cases, several suburbs that surround the city have low rates of coronavirus including Dearborn, Allen Park and Grosse Pointe Park.

All are predominantly white.

Tlaib said “it is very clear that structural racism is showing its ugly face during this global pandemic.”

“It is communities of color, especially the African-American community in my district, that you see getting directly impacted,” she said.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, said even if it was made public, existing data on coronavirus may not illustrate the full effect in communities of color.

“We're testing only people who come in with severe disease,” said El-Sayed, the former health director of the City of Detroit who ran for governor in 2018 as a Democrat.

“Frankly, I think that we would be very much underestimating the burden that this disease has in low-income communities and communities of color.”

I'm black sue, please stop trying to tell me what blacks are thinking. Funny how you are on this but you run from the reality of white racist American public policy. COVID19 will hit the black community hard due to the scarcity of medical facilities in that community, low incomes and the inability to afford health insurance. And that is due to racism. So like I said, you don't want to discuss white racist American public policy, but you want to run your mouth about some black churches in Detroit.

Everyone knows what blacks are thinking. You guys cant stop talking about racism.

That's because you guys can't stop being racists.

Blah blah blah racism.

It's all you clowns have. Nobody gives a shit about your identity politics.

Given that whites invented identity politics and still practice it, your psychosis is noted.

I always love that one. Let's review.

One bickering faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, colonial, breaks up with another faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, British.

The new "free" american society sets up a "representative" democratic form of governance in which only affluent white males of the gentry are granted "the right" to vote. The fuckwit you're responding to would not have been among them. Furthermore, the senate, is not even up for scrutiny of the vote by the chosen voting class, but appointed by a further select group of the "fweedumb" loving aristocracy.

What is more ID politics than ok, only rich white boys vote, you're all free to suck on that.

Your head is stuck in the 18th Century

The America you hate so much is the same nation that set blacks free

I exist in 2020. You know the days when we read racism in online forums and all over social media while the racists posting the shit tell us how racism is a thing of the past. I don't think you really need to be bragging about whites setting people free like it's some honor that you did so some 90 years after you wrote a document that declared all men are created equal and endowed with liberty.

And yet, AMAZINGLY, White Leftist Shamers on USMB are silent about it and we don't see any Black Pastors being arrested on television. We have fat crocodile tears about the "mega churches". (Black churches are never "mega churches" for some reason.)

I wonder why that is, any ideas?

When deciding to close the doors of black churches, congregational leaders across the US wrestle with unique considerations. Paul J. James, pastor of CareView Community Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, noted in an interview with The Undefeated how closing is “counterintuitive to most churches, especially the black church… where we’re just glad to get together because of how hard life has been historically for us here in America. Church has been a safe place for us. It’s been a safe harbor. Now here we are faced with the inability to come together.”

If you hate whitey so much why are you living in a predominantly white country? There's a whole goddamn continent full of your brethren. Go there. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

Who's whining now, Europe beckons.

I'll stick to the land my ancestors conquered and bequeathed to me. Thanks.

Your ancestors immigrated from Europe. They didn't conquer anything. Unless you call genocide conquering. My ancestors built this country while your lazy ass ancestors sat ion their ass. Besides the Native Americans gave your ancestors permission to be here and until they tell me I have to leave, no white man can say shit. Therefore I will retain my right to air my grievance pertaining to white racism and you will accept my freedom to do so.

I don't have to accept shit. And your revisionist historical bullshit only exists in your head. The USA was founded and conquered by Europeans. Deal with it.

Until the constitution says differently, you will accept my right to air my grievance against whites racists. Documented historical fact cannot be revised. Europeans attempted genocide in order to gain a numerical majority in this country. Deal with it.

You clearly don't understand the Constitution. You are free to whine about whatever you like. I am free to disregard it. Ergo, you cannot force me to accept anything. Moron.

But you're right about Europeans. We conquered us the shit out of some natives.

I understand the law better than you do. You murdered natives, you did not conquer them. That's why Native American nations still exist in this one.

"Murder" is part of conquest, moron. Why do you think Mexico speaks Spanish?

You really are a tool.

LOL! Murder is against the ten commandments that are the constitution of the very religion this thread was started about. You really are stump stupid.

You didn't conquer anyone.

It’s Hard to Close Black Churches amid COVID-19

African American clergy respond to pandemic with unique considerations of culture, history, and faith values.

Drop the white victimhood lady. There are black mega churches. And apparently blacks in Florida aren't holding services in churches. And its always funny when a republican like you suddenly gets so concerned about blacks only after somebody white gets arrested for something that you can't see blacks getting arrested for.

Nobody black will be calling COVID19 a racist disease. But that's how you racists see black people. Normal non racist whites would not make that kind of comment.

Black churches need to close just like everybody else. But what you really need to do Sue is work on ending the racism in the white community that has you posting this instead of whining "what about black pastors, why don't they get arrested."

They are already starting in on the racism absolutely. Of course it's racism and not the fact that Blacks in Detroit are still congregating in family groups; still going to church in groups.

Although Detroit has the highest concentration of cases, several suburbs that surround the city have low rates of coronavirus including Dearborn, Allen Park and Grosse Pointe Park.

All are predominantly white.

Tlaib said “it is very clear that structural racism is showing its ugly face during this global pandemic.”

“It is communities of color, especially the African-American community in my district, that you see getting directly impacted,” she said.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, said even if it was made public, existing data on coronavirus may not illustrate the full effect in communities of color.

“We're testing only people who come in with severe disease,” said El-Sayed, the former health director of the City of Detroit who ran for governor in 2018 as a Democrat.

“Frankly, I think that we would be very much underestimating the burden that this disease has in low-income communities and communities of color.”

I'm black sue, please stop trying to tell me what blacks are thinking. Funny how you are on this but you run from the reality of white racist American public policy. COVID19 will hit the black community hard due to the scarcity of medical facilities in that community, low incomes and the inability to afford health insurance. And that is due to racism. So like I said, you don't want to discuss white racist American public policy, but you want to run your mouth about some black churches in Detroit.

Everyone knows what blacks are thinking. You guys cant stop talking about racism.

That's because you guys can't stop being racists.

Blah blah blah racism.

It's all you clowns have. Nobody gives a shit about your identity politics.

Given that whites invented identity politics and still practice it, your psychosis is noted.

I always love that one. Let's review.

One bickering faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, colonial, breaks up with another faction of a ruling "new world" aristocracy, British.

The new "free" american society sets up a "representative" democratic form of governance in which only affluent white males of the gentry are granted "the right" to vote. The fuckwit you're responding to would not have been among them. Furthermore, the senate, is not even up for scrutiny of the vote by the chosen voting class, but appointed by a further select group of the "fweedumb" loving aristocracy.

What is more ID politics than ok, only rich white boys vote, you're all free to suck on that.

Your head is stuck in the 18th Century

The America you hate so much is the same nation that set blacks free

I exist in 2020. You know the days when we read racism in online forums and all over social media while the racists posting the shit tell us how racism is a thing of the past. I don't think you really need to be bragging about whites setting people free like it's some honor that you did so some 90 years after you wrote a document that declared all men are created equal and endowed with liberty.

Its a fact that whites - not blacks - freed the slaves

they didnt have to

but did because they thought it was right

LOL! This is the dumbest comment of all time.

Whites did have to free the slaves. Or there would have been more Nat Turners.

And yet, AMAZINGLY, White Leftist Shamers on USMB are silent about it and we don't see any Black Pastors being arrested on television. We have fat crocodile tears about the "mega churches". (Black churches are never "mega churches" for some reason.)

I wonder why that is, any ideas?

When deciding to close the doors of black churches, congregational leaders across the US wrestle with unique considerations. Paul J. James, pastor of CareView Community Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, noted in an interview with The Undefeated how closing is “counterintuitive to most churches, especially the black church… where we’re just glad to get together because of how hard life has been historically for us here in America. Church has been a safe place for us. It’s been a safe harbor. Now here we are faced with the inability to come together.”

Last week, the federal government strongly urged Americans not to gather in groups of more than 10, and restrictions keep coming. We suspect that many churches will close in the near future, but the decision will not been easy.

In St. Louis, the mayor hosted a teleconference with 300 clergy, including many of black churches, to urge them not to hold services. While some chose to stop meetings and modify their ministries, others struggled to make the change.

In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned gatherings of more than 50 but then exempted churches from penalties. This will give some churches more options, though many are choosing to modify in some way. Triumph Church, which has seven locations in the Detroit area, will continue to gather in person, for now, though it expanded the number of services to reduce congregation size and is asking members to register ahead of time so it can maintain at least six feet between worshippers. It is also providing an online service and a drive-in service.

Why must there still be ‘black’ churches and why does everyone have to accept that without question?

Why are there black churches? Could it be because black folks couldn't attend the white ones. Duh.

Don't hurt em with documented history like that Superbad. They want to live with amnesia in peace.

And who is stopping them now? No one. Just because blacks refuse to integrate doesn’t mean non-blacks are segregationist. You have it completely on the wrong foot.

What's stopping whites from attending black churches? Answer that one.

The same thing that stops any assimilated American regardless of skin color.

Name one ‘white’ church?

Where do you want me to start? Name a black church asshole. Name one church that say this is the black baptist church or the black catholic church, or the black Methodist church or the black Presbyterian church. Whites like you guys have claimed that Christianity is a white religion. That's was one of the things that provided the basis for slavery and segregation. White denominations refused to accept blacks so black formed our own churches, and that was because WHITES did not want us in their churches. So you can stop the revisionist history white chump.

Wrong. You want to make it like blacks are the racists when everything about the black relationship with whites is due to our response to white racism. That's why black churches exist, it is why black organizations exist, etc. We did not create the exclusion, whites did. There is no assimilation into white culture, there is a creation of a multi cultural nation that is inclusive.

Last week, the federal government strongly urged Americans not to gather in groups of more than 10, and restrictions keep coming. We suspect that many churches will close in the near future, but the decision will not been easy.

In St. Louis, the mayor hosted a teleconference with 300 clergy, including many of black churches, to urge them not to hold services. While some chose to stop meetings and modify their ministries, others struggled to make the change.

In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned gatherings of more than 50 but then exempted churches from penalties. This will give some churches more options, though many are choosing to modify in some way. Triumph Church, which has seven locations in the Detroit area, will continue to gather in person, for now, though it expanded the number of services to reduce congregation size and is asking members to register ahead of time so it can maintain at least six feet between worshippers. It is also providing an online service and a drive-in service.

A lot of things inform these responses to the coronavirus outbreak: culture, histories of discrimination, and marginalization, as well as faith-based values. People experience events like COVID-19 not only as individuals but also in communities and in the social locations we inhabit. As social scientists—Deidra as a black woman doing research on HPV and Elaine as a white woman who studies how religious organizations respond to science—we offer some observations based on our research for the past 10 years at the Religion and Public Life Program at Rice University. We have been gathering upwards of 150 religious and civic leaders regularly to talk about how we can use social science research on religion to build common ground for the common good.

Drop the white victimhood lady. There are black mega churches. And apparently blacks in Florida aren't holding services in churches. And its always funny when a republican like you suddenly gets so concerned about blacks only after somebody white gets arrested for something that you can't see blacks getting arrested for.

Nobody black will be calling COVID19 a racist disease. But that's how you racists see black people. Normal non racist whites would not make that kind of comment.

Black churches need to close just like everybody else. But what you really need to do Sue is work on ending the racism in the white community that has you posting this instead of whining "what about black pastors, why don't they get arrested."

all kinds of "sickness" phenomena has been attributed to
"white racism" Way back some eager black sociologists
and writers attributed increased hypertension amongst black
adults to "white racism" "way back" is when I was in my twenties---
WAY WAY BACK-------actually there are some maladies that afflict
various GROUPS of persons based on their inherited constitutions---
and some based on social norms. Of course it is true that if in
black communities "virus precautions" are not observed, then
that fact will impact on the stats. HOWEVER the "blame it on racism" thing has been going on since web dubois. He was
brilliant--------but like the similarly brilliant Freud------his ideas
galvanized all sorts of stupidity

It has been proven that there are health disparities due to race and that racism causes stress which leads to health problems.

"health disparities due to race"------of course, black americans
have lots more sickle cell anemia than do white americans of anglo-saxon background. No one had ever "proven" that black americans are more "stressed" as a group than any other group in the USA. There is less alcoholism amongst Italian americans in the USA than
amongst black americans in the USA and less Multiple Sclerosis
amongst black americans than amongst Italian americans who also
have more Thalassemia. "STRESS"? Will we define the people
who get more CORONAVIRUS as THE MOST "STRESSED"-----right
now Italy is winning

And yet, AMAZINGLY, White Leftist Shamers on USMB are silent about it and we don't see any Black Pastors being arrested on television. We have fat crocodile tears about the "mega churches". (Black churches are never "mega churches" for some reason.)

I wonder why that is, any ideas?

When deciding to close the doors of black churches, congregational leaders across the US wrestle with unique considerations. Paul J. James, pastor of CareView Community Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, noted in an interview with The Undefeated how closing is “counterintuitive to most churches, especially the black church… where we’re just glad to get together because of how hard life has been historically for us here in America.

They are already starting in on the racism absolutely. Of course it's racism and not the fact that Blacks in Detroit are still congregating in family groups; still going to church in groups.

Although Detroit has the highest concentration of cases, several suburbs that surround the city have low rates of coronavirus including Dearborn, Allen Park and Grosse Pointe Park.

All are predominantly white.

Tlaib said “it is very clear that structural racism is showing its ugly face during this global pandemic.”

“It is communities of color, especially the African-American community in my district, that you see getting directly impacted,” she said.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, said even if it was made public, existing data on coronavirus may not illustrate the full effect in communities of color.

“We're testing only people who come in with severe disease,” said El-Sayed, the former health director of the City of Detroit who ran for governor in 2018 as a Democrat.

“Frankly, I think that we would be very much underestimating the burden that this disease has in low-income communities and communities of color.”

I'm black sue, please stop trying to tell me what blacks are thinking. Funny how you are on this but you run from the reality of white racist American public policy. COVID19 will hit the black community hard due to the scarcity of medical facilities in that community, low incomes and the inability to afford health insurance. And that is due to racism. So like I said, you don't want to discuss white racist American public policy, but you want to run your mouth about some black churches in Detroit.

Everyone knows what blacks are thinking. You guys cant stop talking about racism.

“Everyone know what blacks are thinking,” huh?

Since when has the black community been quiet about what they are thinking?

Well since Trump was elected, we know that racist damn sure haven't been quiet about what they are thinking.

You know who did quiet down? Black Lives Matter. Their crappy little movement got shut down because those people sucked.

Did it?

Why must there still be ‘black’ churches and why does everyone have to accept that without question?

Why are there black churches? Could it be because black folks couldn't attend the white ones. Duh.

Don't hurt em with documented history like that Superbad. They want to live with amnesia in peace.

And who is stopping them now? No one. Just because blacks refuse to integrate doesn’t mean non-blacks are segregationist. You have it completely on the wrong foot.

What's stopping whites from attending black churches? Answer that one.

Good question.
