These are not good times for Christian and conservative African-Americans.  As a clergy leader and ministry influencer in the Black community, standing with and voting for President Donald J. Trump is very difficult for me and somewhat problematic.  While I proudly love many of his progressive policies impacting Black America—prison reform, support of HBCUs, pre-COVID employment gains, pro-life, pro-family and pro-Israel… Unfortunately, there's too the hated and despised imagery that is often associated with our President as the continued lightening rod and posterchild of division, racism and bigotry.  To add, there's this non-urgent, non-balanced approach to addressing the ongoing police brutality and other various injustices across our land.  

Earlier this week, another… ANOTHER unarmed Black man is shot 7 times in the back for noncompliance to officers… our nation's streets are yet again in turmoil!   

So today for us, there is still two deadly diseases Black America fighting—the COVID-19 virus which has exposed the disparity of healthcare access and resources in the Black community, and the ungodly, sinful virus of racism, whether systematic, institutional or overt and obvious—there are unbearable burdens of pain and pressure in the African American community.  

Let's talk about it!!
