Either it was all white people, or the white people and black people wouldn’t sit together. I don’t know which is worse.

Isn't it normal etiquette to take off the hat in a church?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 115 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None of the people wearing a hat in that picture would be able to spell etiquette without a K. They love their Ks.

I like a good multilayered burn

Bro they already took off their white hoods in the house of God. Give them a break.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 year ago

not really

Traditionally, men should remove their hats during prayers or hymns, whereas women might choose to keep their decorative hats on. However, this practice can vary greatly depending on the denomination and local customs. Observing other attendees and being aware of the norms can help you navigate this aspect with grace. src

given this wasn’t even a service, but just using the space as a venue, i will say that the hats are the least disgusting thing happening in the image

Not if the hat wearer bears the mark of the devil on their forehead

We don't need to see the MAGA mark on their forehead to know its there. The hat on top of it already says MAGA.

I'm sorry but should a church housing a political rally and supporting a political figure not be all sorts of illegal if theyre tax exempt?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The claim was that it was a roundtable discussion that Trump was a part of.

But of course, every Trump public appearance is a Trump rally.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A claim that isn't true and made knowingly is called a lie.

But also any time his lips move and words are produced, they are also called lies.

I prefer "the voice of treason"

the reporting on this could be better which sucks because it’s obvious it’s going to be memeified for months now

was this actually a church sponsored event or was it just being hosted in the building as a venue?

not coming at this with any assumptions or narratives i just wish there was more reliable original data than some twitter links i can’t look at without an account :/

[–] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The pastor agreed to it after being contacted by the trump campaign. here with the pastor's explanation

[–] Shadehawk25@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's still pretty damned telling no black people came to their own church to hear him talk.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

He said his parishioners literally laughed in his face when he asked them to come.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

ugh bless you thanks so much

edit, my take: wow that pastor seems like an upstanding guy and i would be nervous for his decision if i didn’t have hindsight and see it played out in a way that clearly only showed his guest’s hypocrisy.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm doubt the church is real, because I got no reports of Trump instantly burning to ash the moment he set foot in it.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago (9 children)

The church is definitely real. God on the other hand...

I definitely would rather be trapped with a bear.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

As a dude, I'm starting to understand the analogy...

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

He thought it could have been a chance to hear the voice of the marginalized. He apparently hasn't heard a trump interview or debatr before.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is the best possible outcome we can hope for considering his last visit to a church... Which isn't saying much. 100% less teargas this time!

Lol I love that the only black guy apparently in the audience was this guy

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can’t tell if that shirt is intended to be ironic or not.

The parishioners are supposed to be but all these white people REPLACED THEM.

He must have meant their hearts. A crusted crumbling charcoal heart.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I don’t want these people to be in charge of the country. Is that wrong?

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Republicans are full of hate and lies.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Best video I could find. Absolutely not sure about the source. I don't have Instagram so I can't verify anything but looks legit.

He meant black as in its painted black not that it's predominantly attended by black people.
