Trillia Newbell, a Christian author, had just delivered a talk in Jackson, Tennessee, when a White man approached her. Newbell, who is Black, had spoken about imago Dei -- the idea that all humans, of all races, are made in the image and likeness of God. The man disagreed. "He explained that I was subhuman, that I was a different species," recalled Newbell."And he was trying to use Scripture as proof."Newbell, 41, chooses her words carefully.

How can anyone who is black be a christian, I do not understand.

This picture is of a Muslim Guy...

Speaking of the movement.. when are we going to hold Don Lemon accountable for his statements to terrycrews? Why invite someone on the show if you're not gonna let him talk, and just disregard anything he says? Irresponsible reporting.

Hey CNN, YOU are a huge part of the problem!!!

CNN - Why did you mention White Christians and Black Christians when all of them are Christians before the Lord? To identify them, don't you have any other words?

It’s all bull

How do ya'll know they're truly Christian? BLM is Satan's child. BLM seeks to destroy the black man.

Funny. When you post jaded, pointed reports like this how can there not be a backlash? BTW Christians have spoken out about racism for decades and apologized over and over. Is it ever enough? When will Black leaders stop bringing this issue up or focus on bettering the community

Turns out the Churches stance on Colorblindness is racist. Galatians 3:28 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.'

I hate to break it to people--but Christianity IS racism. The whole thing is a cult and a scam. Oh, and it's responsible for the genocide of millions of Native Americans and ten's of millions of other people all across the world. It's a cult full of victims--regardless of race.

it’s coming ... wait for November ... BLM went too far ... a just, fair fight that went out of control - cannot treat everybody as racists and expect no retaliation

There's no black or white in christ Jesus, people speaking out ain't Christian and you try to put racism in christ body is false narrative.

🤣😂🤣

There is no Black Or white .It's all about Having Common Goal 'America' All That you need to promote is American And Not Racism

Don't hold you breath, the 'born again' crowd thinks jesus is/was a fair skinned blue eyed wish granter only for them. Good luck though.

Black folks already know that white people frame these things in terms of how watching things happen to black people affects them, and not how it affects black people. Self-centeredness is a white, Christian, American virtue.

We need an America that works for everyone. The whole country should have the middle class as its standard. We are going backwards because the 1% are psychopaths.

Ah i hope not,, let's just live together 😐

Blacks are finally speaking up about white Antifa/Rioters ruining the BLM message.

So if Biden wins I bet all the race division stories will magically disappear. CNN is dividing us because Trump exposes them.

Did George soros buy cnn?
