There many of us feel this obligation. WWII was the worst thing thst ever happened to white supremacy.

What does that mean? He’s going to not take a salary?

FOX/GOP PIMP Evangelical dirty clergy who sleaze POC with a 'color blind' JESUS - that never bares his seductive MAGA WHITE SOUL. White Evangelical leaders tap emerging mega-market: brothers and sisters of color. Gaslight left-leaning, vulnerable communities into RELIGIOUS-RIGHT

Such a moving and emotional moment. This man is the real deal.

ABORTION: No moral person cheers. Until it can be empirically determined when fetus becomes human soul (even theologians disagree), state/public sector has no compelling interest to interfere with painful, SACRED decision involving woman/doctor/family - thus private sector issue.

ABORTION: Fight via private sector: educate, adopt, etc. - don't impose mere beliefs on pluralistic public sector: backfires on your cause. GOP says 'limit gov.' yet shoves gov. to suppress women - no wonder: their own women often suppressed by erroneous Biblical interpretation.

The onus is on the dominating race in society to call out social injustice imposed upon minorities. People of all faith traditions must actively take stands against white nationalism/supremacy. FAKE Christians - religious-right - fear 'foriegn' faiths. Real Love ='Feed my sheep'.

The religious-right seeks to rule YOU. More imminent threat than Neoliberalism/Oligarchy/Plutocracy: their MALIGNANT MYTHOS underlies latter. REAL Christians/all faiths strike IRON while hot: DIVIDE GOP - stop theocracy cancer. No post-election rest: build 2022 blue wave stat!

HEY! FELLOW PASSIVE CHRISTIAN RACISTS: I too was blind, then challenged & defensive - even had POC friends. Couldn't believe unconscious white superiority within. Most RELIGIOUS-RIGHT ppl at least passive RACISTS. Join ANTI-RACIST causes - or dismiss & be Luke11:23 - 'against Me'

IMPOTENT WHITE EVANGELICALS: 'Called' to holy might, yet feared Love's spiritual street fight. For shame! Fled to hate's gated RELIGIOUS-RIGHT, now their 'Satan' finds them his delight. Flee the Right to right side of history: repent (turn 180) to the SPIRITUAL-LEFT. (2 Co. 6:17)

'LIVE BY SWORD, DIE BY SWORD' (Jesus). Trump/GOP terrorists who live/intimidate by guns beware: gotta guess which of us 'snowflakes' is armed to defend our families/democracy. 'Weapons of our warfare not carnal, but mighty before God': love in action. YET carnal DEFENSE BLESSED

YO, religious-right bigots! 'Say not, 'we have Jesus for our Savior', for of these stones God's able to raise up disciples unto Jesus'(Matt.3:9 LMAO version). Rather, Universe speaks to all: 'Our Beloved reveals to mortals what is required: justice, mercy, humility'(Micah 6:8).

This retired (Republican) CHRISTIAN COALITION REGIONAL DIRECTOR and Dr. of Pharmacy uges Trump domestic terrorists be PROSECUTED TO FULL EXTENT OF LAW - no WHITE privilege! They desecrated our sacred Capitol and mocked our unified pandemic efforts. PURSUE THEM ALL IMMEDIATELY.

NO RESTING ON LAURELS! We must fight the 'good fight' even more now after our POTUS/Senate win. Strike iron while hot: DIVIDE GOP. Fake Christian Religious-right - 90% white - gave united GOP 'moral authority': a must for all movements. While they flail - take moral high ground!

Wow is this guy shady. He doesn't seem to be to well informed about anything.
