Has there been more than 1 pastor arrested on television?
Not a single Black pastor has been arrested on television even though, as you see, Black churches are still meeting.
Now gosh ain't that a kick in the head? Later on, the Black community will say oh no oh no the disease is racist, the care we got is racist.
If only 1 pastor has been arrested on television, what does it matter if not a single black pastor has been arrested on television?
At least two now. Why must I do everyone's research for them?
Second pastor charged with violating public orders says church doors will still be open on Sunday | CNN
For the second time in two days, police have charged a pastor with defying public orders against large gatherings by holding church services with hundreds of members. And despite the charge, he says the church doors will still be open Sunday.www.cnn.com
Was he also arrested on television?
Also, now you've shown 2 arrested pastors. Why did 1 of them need to be black? The article you just linked to said that pastor had 1000 people at the church, which violated an order. I noticed in your link regarding black churches that it didn't say anything about a similar circumstance. If none of the black churches had gatherings that large, or if they didn't violate any state or local orders, that would make arresting a black pastor on television a much less likely occurrence, wouldn't it?
My point is that you're complaining about one thing not following along with another thing, without showing that the two things are actually the same. Additionally, you've given 2 examples and for some reason made it seem as if they are automatically indicative of a larger trend. Beyond that, this is the first I've heard about the subject of black churches still having services during the pandemic. I don't frequent christianitytoday.com. If the "White Leftist Shamers" you are complaining about also haven't heard or read such stories, that would make it hard for them to comment on or shame anyone over for it.
I think people congregating for church (or temple, or mosque, etc.) with a pandemic going on, when social distancing is the watchword of the times, is foolish. That's especially true in a world where phone calls, text, and video chat are so easy to do. I don't care about the race or ethnicity of the people who go to their place of worship; black, Hispanic, white, Asian, Native Indian, now's not the time for a bunch of people in close quarters.
In Michigan there is an order of no gatherings more than 10 people. Guarantee those churches meeting in Detroit have over 10 people, and yes, all those Temple churches are still meeting in person. So really.
