In the letter below, delivered exclusively to theGrio, several well-known, Black pastors have come together to collectively rebut their fellow sisters and brothers in Christ. Below are their thoughts on why Donald Trump is the most divisive leader our country has ever witnessed and how Trump’s Black pastors have completely lost touch with their spiritual and cultural connections.

Dear Colleagues in Christ:
With heartbreak, yet hope, we reach out to you in the name of our Lord and Liberator, Jesus, the Christ. It was unsettling and upsetting to witness the meeting with you, our moral leaders, and one of the most amoral persons to ever occupy the White House in the name of discussing prison reform.
We are sure it must have been intoxicating to walk the corridors of power and sit at the table of governing authority. Unfortunately, those precincts of power have been infected by white supremacy and moral bankruptcy. Dr. Cornel West is correct, “we are in the spiritual eclipse of decency, honesty and integrity,” leaving our nation in the chaotic shadows of emboldened racism, ugly xenophobia, predatory patriarchy and unvarnished greed.”
Given your proximity to power and your “seat at the table” in this toxic, political climate, it’s painfully disappointing that instead of being prophetic clergy persons you became presidential cheerleaders. We could never imagine the eighth century prophets cheering the kings of Judah and Israel who were in similar political climates. We know John the Baptist wasn’t content to cheer Herod on and express his gratitude and honor for a seat at the table, declaring that Herod was the most “pro-Jewish king in our lifetime.”
We need not remind you of the posture of the Prince of Peace, our Savior from the streets, when He stood before Herod and Pilate. He didn’t even pray for them. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was quoted yesterday but not emulated. Dr. King had a seat at the table at the White House, but he brought the menu of a civil and voting rights agenda to Presidents who transformed the nation.

Cheerleaders with a collar: An open letter to the Black preachers stunting for Donald Trump - theGrio
Your paranoia is clear...you’re scared shitless of Blacks embracing this administration.
But WHY?
Mexicrats are pissed at Blacks for controlling their fertility rate.
Your party told Blacks to go fuck themselves when they started importing their beloved wetbacks as a loyal, far more fertile replacement.
The very essence of triggered. Poor poor regressive racists, on display for all to see. We gots ta keep dem niggas on the farm!
Funny you could say that after the alt right demonstrations this weekendAgree....
I think black clergy and leaders SHOULD meet with Trump but do it like Dr. King did. King did not cower at the sight of JFK and tell him how great he is and beg for a few crumbs
He demanded civil rights and voting rights, he insisted JFK take action against southern terrorists
Today’s leaders should do the same instead of settling for a photo op with a grinning Trump
Anyone who would claim that white supremacy is a problem in " the corridors of power " today is a race baiting asshole who should be shunned by mainstream society.
FUCK HIM.
We still have white supremacy groups and our president refuses to condemn them
Agree....

I swear, if he'd asked one of these guys to shine his shoes - They'd have done it!

Not 'southern' terrorists -- dimocrap terrorists.
Why do you scum keep running away from your party's history?
Are you ashamed of it?
"I don't agree with Donald Trump therefore he is divisive"?
Fuck that shit.
Yes, there is no question that Donald Trump has split and hardened this nation into three parts. 1/3 poorly educated white rural Orangelings with racial anxiety, 1/3 indies and Democrats and the other third moderate traditional conservatives with a brain. Without question, THE most divisive POTUS in history.
Southern terroristsAgree....

Anyone who would claim that white supremacy is a problem in " the corridors of power " today is a race baiting asshole who should be shunned by mainstream society.
FUCK HIM.
We still have white supremacy groups and our president refuses to condemn them
1. YOur conflating of the Alt Right and white surpremacist is unsupported and you being an asshole.
2. Trump has regularly and repeatedly condemned white supremacists, as I have repeatedly posted on this very site. You are a vile liar and a race baiting asshole.
My point stands.

1. The "Alt Right" absolutely includes White Nationalists, Nazis, Klansmen and every day run of the mill racists with racial anxiety oozing from every pore
2. No he hasn't - other than in prepared statements which he promptly negates by saying something stupid and racist the following day

But not to conservatives
And we have the same from the left yet no one is calling for them to be condemned. Is it possible that as long as you are in the same general camp you are ok, and those that are not must be condemned?Funny you could say that after the alt right demonstrations this weekendAgree....

He makes statements supporting David Duke, he says some white supremacists are “not that bad”
Then, when his own party and family members jump on him he claims he was misunderstood and did not mean it that way
Then, after a few days, he tweets the same position

Donald Trump didn't riot the day of his own inauguration.
Donald Trump doesn't send in his Mask-wearing Nazis to disrupt, terrorize, assault and maim those exercising their Free Speech rights.
Donald Trump doesn't disrupt Campus Speakers simply because he doesn't agree with their message.
Donald Trump doesn't harass and intimidate people trying to have a dinner date (Red Hen).
Donald Trump doesn't call for his followers to 'get in their faces' like MaxiPad Waters Maxine Waters's Mob Politics & Gavin Newsom’s California Progressivism | National Review
Know who does? Your side, scumbag. Your side and ONLY your side.
So you know what? FUCK YOU and fuck the horse you rode in on.
The 'divisive' people in this Country are the scumbags that can't face up to the FACT that they lost an election fair and square.
Eat shit and die, pusbag.
Southern terrorists
I did not see any church bombings in the north
KKK is 100 percent Republican TODAY. Why are you running away from your parties history?
