From many pulpits on Sunday, moral outrage over racial inequity traced a straight line to religious teachings of equality and fairness.

As Sunday morning dawned on a nation torn from days of mourning and sometimes violent protests, faith leaders across the country sought the right words to guide their jagged communities.

In Phoenix, hours before Arizona's governor issued a week-long nighttime curfew for the entire state, Warren Stewart Sr. spoke of hurt. “Stand up for justice," Warnock said,"but always stand in love and if we stand in love, love will win every time.”In South Carolina, megachurch pastors John Gray and Steven Furtick held an open conversation about race and religion.

That's fine but I hope RealJohnGray also taught, Christians should NEVER behave the way these protestors have NOR CONDONE it! The children of God are supposed to be PEACE MAKERS Matt 5:9. Therefore, they quell situations not encourage or egg them on.

The American system is a false democracy! This is actually a game for the rich! Support the leader elected by one-person-one-vote genuine universal suffrage and oppose the two-party system! The leader who chooses to speak for the common people! Set civilians free!
