True to our Native Land

[retiredman]

I suppose you cannot understand the connections between congregations of the United Church of Christ. MY particular church has a mission. I am sure that Trinity is quite supportive of our mission and wishes us great success in it. Similarly, while my church does not have the empowerment of black american congregants as a mission ourselves, we are fully supportive of Trinity's mission and wish them great success in it.

Does that help, or will you admit that learning anything about this issue is not really what you are here for?

what IS the mother white continent?

Do you throw this sort of hissy fit when NYC has a big St. Patrick's Day parade and all the irishmen show that they remain true to the emerald isle?

you're giving up this early, not like you

then again, it must be tiring to be smacked down over and over


care to actually answer what i have repeatedly posted? just the other day you made a big STINK about people asking questions. NOW you are doing the same.

hypocrite

So your church supports a church that call Africa their motherland and is TRYING to somehow uplift them???
I learned alright. I learned you don't know racism when you see it.

why do you keep ignoring this:


We are a WHITE people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother WHITE continent

let no one run from this

Shit Yurt---we can't stop him from running from your question any more than he can empower blacks.

[retiredman]

let no one run from this

why don't you make the letters bigger and, maybe a different color.

I have run from nothing...

I can't WAIT for your hissy fit on St Patty's Day.

Damned Irishmen...how DARE they celebrate their allegiance to the Emerald Isle and still call themselves Americans!

Apples and oranges---and yes--you ran like hell.

I am still here. I have run from nothing. I answered him and he insulted me.

and you do nothing but try out your one liners for open mike night at the nerd's comedy club.


and they are not apples and oranges. African americans are not pledging allegiance to any other sovereignty. I am sure that the irishmen aren't either.

for example: is the ancient order of hibernians in america a "racist" organization

many ways.... one of which is to attempt to counteract more than three centuries of socialization that they ARE second class citizens here in America by trying to instill in them a sense of ethnic pride.

How exactly trying to build ethnic pride help them see themselves as equal citizens with everyone else?

If you want the to be treated like everyone else, you need to treat them like everyone else.

This is the problem when Churches segregate. I can't figure out where they get the idea that segregation is a good idea.

THEY are second class citizens? Everyone in southside Chicago is a second class citizen ? See how you just threated THEM ? Probably not.

MFM thinks it's a great idea--his church supports them in their efforts.

the church is not segregated. It is a church in a predominately black, economically depressed neighborhood. They do not exclude whites from joining their church. There are many white members AND staff members. Their mission is uplifting and nurturing the black congregants in their neighborhood. All the members of the church - black and white - are supportive of that mission.

but don't listen to me. I am just a member of the UCC...what the fuck would I know? Ask Dildo....he's working up a cute standup routine...that makes HIM the expert on the Trinity UCC.

they are not, but one can understand how, after three centuries of discrimination, some black americans might have grown to think so. The church tries to teach them otherwise. I would think you would applaud such a goal....
