Either it was all white people, or the white people and black people wouldn’t sit together. I don’t know which is worse.
The worse one is when black folx can’t even get into their own church because a flock of white fascists took it over.
If I recall from the articles about this event. The pastor, who is black, invited Trump. In a funny twist as well, the former mayor of Detroit (also black) was there to speak about how great Trump is. Which is fine, except that Trump pardoned him at the end of his presidency because the man was convicted and guilty of: Obstruction of justice (x2), assault of a police officer, racketeering, tax evasion, extortion, mail fraud.
However even at the event that Kilpatrick was attending with Trump, while singing his praises, didn’t endorse him.
Leave it to a religious leader and the Mayor of Ballmer to overlook the needs of their audience by pandering to fascists…
When has it been any different?
A lot of anti-abortion black people (single issue voters) and wealthy capitalist/Democrats are the party of Dr King voters support him. The venn diagram overlap would be money.

The normal parishioners wouldn't come because of the Trump attendance so his faithful filled out the crowd (meaning, were the entire crowd) to help feed his misrepresentation of the event. The church was so full. So full. And everyone there loved me, I can tell you that.
(Not a quote, just a likely facsimile.)
Regardless, I'm white and I would refuse to sit among a crowd of carpetbagging Trumpers who showed up to displace me from my own church (if I went to church), I sure wouldn't do so if I were black.
