July 1, 201511 yr This is despicable. So disheartening to see the lack of attention this is getting. This needs to be the lead story of every national news cast until those responsible are apprehended.
July 1, 201511 yr Press Conference in half hour on the Church Fires...we'll see how many "News" channels cover it
July 1, 201511 yr Yes, if someone is attacking these specific churches because they are predominantly black, then it needs to be labeled "black". Instead of running away from the subject, we can acknowledge that some things are done because of race. Unlike certain news networks that were calling the Charleston shooting an attack on christians and refused to say because they were black. Food for thought. Do you really believe there is a shortage of bringing attention to the fact that black people and black churches are involved? Please. So you really think that all of these things are happening to or in churches is a coincidence? Christianity has nothing to do with it?

So you really think that all of these things are happening to or in churches is a coincidence? Christianity has nothing to do with it? I guess time will tell. My gut says those responsible are white Christian males. If those responsible are Christian, will you agree that Christianity had little to do with it, and race had everything to do with it?

Yes , I do because if that were the case the big news networks would be covering this a lot more. I'm not gonna sit here and say christianity had nothing to do with it but it takes a big backseat to race. I just laugh at your notion that to "end" racism is to stop talking about it.

There is a big difference between ending discussion and labeling.
July 1, 201511 yr There is a big difference between ending discussion and labeling. Why does this bother you so much? If black churches throughout the south are being set on fire, why shouldn't I be able to connect the dots and call it racism.
July 1, 201511 yr I guess time will tell. My gut says those responsible are white Christian males. If those responsible are Christian, will you agree that Christianity had little to do with it, and race had everything to do with it? I would find it difficult to believe that a God fearing Christian would burn down a church. I would also find it hard to believe that a God fearing Christian would hate another man because of the color of his skin. A Christian person could absolutely lose their mind monetarily and do something stupid but to systematically and willfully do something like this just isn't possible.
July 1, 201511 yr Sad sad sad. I hope they catch the coward(s) quickly and prosecute to the fullest, and before someone physically gets hurt or even killed.

I'm just saying I know a pastor of a church that most, if not all, of the congregation is black. If you told him he pastored the black church he would correct you on the spot.
July 1, 201511 yr Two may have been caused by storms, one by accident and the rest are probable arson...according to CNN and Fox reporters
