Thank you black religious leaders. I stand with you.

Do they know that a lot more black people voted for Trump in 2020?

I agree with the theology of moral resistance in the spirit of Frederick Douglass and many other faith-based resisters to injustice. I agree that Project 2025 is an all-out attack on over 60 years of civil rights protection of African American and many other people in the U.S.

However, I hope they seek a broad interracial alliance as many non black people of faith are deeply opposed to the hate mongering and division and degradations of POC and non criminal migrants (most of whom are Latinos) and GLBQT+ people.

Maybe but black voters remained by far the strongest demographic of people voting for Kamala Harris and Walz.

A lot more doesn’t mean a lot.

It is ok for African Americans to sometimes just talk about what is concerning us specifically. Even more so since lots of POCs (which really just means Asians, Hispanics, and Indians) voted for Trump.

So he saw an increase compared to his previous term? Info you left out. You are trying to mislead by stopping your sentence there and implying that more of these demographics voted for Trump over Harris. Your real comparison is Trump vs. Trump

It should get interesting. I left my church family bc so many of them denied covid and put people at risk and basically embraced trump. It took 15 yrs to convince them to host and help refugees. Now, many of them are still trumpets but minister is obviously very bothered by what’s happening and preaches about this weekly. Should be interesting to watch what happens. I imagine this scenario is playing out in churches across the USA. Makes me sick, the divisions being created by this administration in our families.

People, the point of this is that Black leaders cannot even convince some Black people that Trump supports White Christian Nationalists. They aren't going to convince other people.

There was never such a thing as a POC coalition and after the 2024 election the farce is over. African Americans are not mules for your causes.

PP to whom you responded

Yes of course - not just all but important.

I just hope they invite a coalition of faith bas d allies representing other groups also impacted. The politics of division and degradation of so many people hurts us all in different ways. I think we need faith based unity in confronting the hate and division espoused by white Christian nationalism - while allowing space for different coalition members to express how it impacts them and how they wish to resist.

I am grateful to black ministers for leading the way once again.

Why are churches spouting of politics. DOJ should investigate and revoke their tax exempt status
