Please share with us how you would attend an openly racist, radical church and NOT be racist.
Racist to you. But to any black politician in Chicago the largest constituency in the city.
But mostly I can't believe you walk jobs are still ranting and raving about nonsense.
The wackjob bigots on the right getting more and more insane.
Let me see if I have this straight. According to you, because this church is in Chicago, it isn't racist. Interesting. I grew up on the North Side of Chicago. Left there many decades ago but still have relatives in the Windy City.
Do you consider this to be racist?
What if you substituted White for every Black in the system?
The Black Value System
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee, chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981.
Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System.

Prayerfully, we have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the
Black Value System.
Beginning in 1982, an annual Black Value System – Educational Scholarship in the name of Dr. Byrd was instituted. The first recipient of the Dr. Manford Byrd Award, which is given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies the Black Value System, was our brother, Dr. Manford Byrd.

- Commitment to God. “The God of our weary years” will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become Black Christian Activists, soldiers for Black freedom and the dignity of all humankind. Matthew 22:37 – Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
- Commitment to the Black Community. The highest level of achievement for any Black person must be a contribution of strength and continuity of the Black Community. I John 4:20 – If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother [or his sister], he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother or sister whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
