When has there ever been a group of people who "all" thought the exact same thing? MANY black people were falling for it. It was rampant on Black Twitter.Black people thought they were immune? WTF?The problem is, black people thought they were immune to it, so they ignored the warnings. Now here we are.Given that whites invented identity politics and still practice it, your psychosis is noted.That's because you guys can't stop being racists.Everyone knows what blacks are thinking. You guys cant stop talking about racism.I'm black sue, please stop trying to tell me what blacks are thinking. Funny how you are on this but you run from the reality of white racist American public policy. COVID19 will hit the black community hard due to the scarcity of medical facilities in that community, low incomes and the inability to afford health insurance. And that is due to racism. So like I said, you don't want to discuss white racist American public policy, but you want to run your mouth about some black churches in Detroit.Drop the white victimhood lady. There are black mega churches. And apparently blacks in Florida aren't holding services in churches. And its always funny when a republican like you suddenly gets so concerned about blacks only after somebody white gets arrested for something that you can't see blacks getting arrested for.And yet, AMAZINGLY, White Leftist Shamers on USMB are silent about it and we don't see any Black Pastors being arrested on television. We have fat crocodile tears about the "mega churches". (Black churches are never "mega churches" for some reason.)
I wonder why that is, any ideas?
When deciding to close the doors of black churches, congregational leaders across the US wrestle with unique considerations. Paul J. James, pastor of CareView Community Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, noted in an interview with The Undefeated how closing is “counterintuitive to most churches, especially the black church… where we’re just glad to get together because of how hard life has been historically for us here in America. Church has been a safe place for us. It’s been a safe harbor. Now here we are faced with the inability to come together.”
Last week, the federal government strongly urged Americans not to gather in groups of more than 10, and restrictions keep coming. We suspect that many churches will close in the near future, but the decision will not been easy.
In St. Louis, the mayor hosted a teleconference with 300 clergy, including many of black churches, to urge them not to hold services. While some chose to stop meetings and modify their ministries, others struggled to make the change.
In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer banned gatherings of more than 50 but then exempted churches from penalties. This will give some churches more options, though many are choosing to modify in some way. Triumph Church, which has seven locations in the Detroit area, will continue to gather in person, for now, though it expanded the number of services to reduce congregation size and is asking members to register ahead of time so it can maintain at least six feet between worshippers. It is also providing an online service and a drive-in service.
A lot of things inform these responses to the coronavirus outbreak: culture, histories of discrimination, and marginalization, as well as faith-based values. People experience events like COVID-19 not only as individuals but also in communities and in the social locations we inhabit. As social scientists—Deidra as a black woman doing research on HPV and Elaine as a white woman who studies how religious organizations respond to science—we offer some observations based on our research for the past 10 years at the Religion and Public Life Program at Rice University. We have been gathering upwards of 150 religious and civic leaders regularly to talk about how we can use social science research on religion to build common ground for the common good.
It’s Hard to Close Black Churches amid COVID-19

Nobody black will be calling COVID19 a racist disease. But that's how you racists see black people. Normal non racist whites would not make that kind of comment.
Black churches need to close just like everybody else. But what you really need to do Sue is work on ending the racism in the white community that has you posting this instead of whining "what about black pastors, why don't they get arrested."
They are already starting in on the racism absolutely. Of course it's racism and not the fact that Blacks in Detroit are still congregating in family groups; still going to church in groups.
Although Detroit has the highest concentration of cases, several suburbs that surround the city have low rates of coronavirus including Dearborn, Allen Park and Grosse Pointe Park.
All are predominantly white.
Tlaib said “it is very clear that structural racism is showing its ugly face during this global pandemic.”
“It is communities of color, especially the African-American community in my district, that you see getting directly impacted,” she said.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, said even if it was made public, existing data on coronavirus may not illustrate the full effect in communities of color.
“We're testing only people who come in with severe disease,” said El-Sayed, the former health director of the City of Detroit who ran for governor in 2018 as a Democrat.
“Frankly, I think that we would be very much underestimating the burden that this disease has in low-income communities and communities of color.”
Blah blah blah racism.
It's all you clowns have. Nobody gives a shit about your identity politics.
If you hate whitey so much why are you living in a predominantly white country? There's a whole goddamn continent full of your brethren. Go there. Otherwise shut the fuck up.
LOL! Same old dumb shit from a different white racist asshole. I was born here, so I will live here. I have a constitutional right to air my grievance. If you don't like that, there's a whole continent full of your brethren. Go there. Otherwise shut the fuck up.
"Look at me, I'm a victim!!"
^That's literally all your diatribes are. You're pathetic.
Nah, that's not it fragile boy. I descend from people who have endured what your punk ass never could. So what you need to do softie is go into your community and rid it of the insecurity and victim mentality that allows white racism to continue.
Your supposed endurance clearly hasn't morphed into any form of achievement or ambition, because here you are demanding "do this for me whitey" - typical African American behavior. I don't need to do shit. And your infantile rants aren't going to make me do shit. But feel free to keep screaming "gibs me dat!!" while society passes you by like the little fucking leech you are.
As we all recall, black folk were brought here by your so called founders to build a nation for the euros. In other words, black folk would not have been here if whites didn't need them to do everything. Whites were given centuries of free labor and pussy, which they really really liked a lot.
You are Europe's caste offs, descended from a lot that could not cut it there.
Look at you know, faced with your own version of smallpox laden blankets and bibles. No immunity? Too bad. Manifest destiny come full circle, home to roost.
I'm pretty sure the COVID-19 virus affects people of all races...

Ah, social media, how you feed us false information.
It doesn't sound like a lot of people were falling for that. Saying "black people thought they were immune to it" makes it sound as though all blacks thought they were immune.
