They don't even like being called "Socialists". Most of 'em will deny they are Socialists but when you ask one of 'em what about "Socialism" they most disagree with all you get is this.....

I did a couple of times and it was definitely an experience. I'm Catholic so I'm used to mass being a peaceful, almost somber experience. The preacher here was energetic to say the least and delivered his message with passion. There was a lot more signing and crowd interaction as well and when it was all over, we all headed over to another building where they had a **** ton of food. And I'm talking good, homemade ****. All free.
This all sounds very stereotypical but it's true and what I found interesting was that no one gave me a second look. I'm white AF and there where probably a few hundred people there.
I have attended many Black churches in PG County MD. My wife was an adoption social worker and was invited to speak at many Black churches. We were ALWAYS warmly welcomed and treated with the upmost respect.
Worked in the DC and Baltimore metro areas for years. I have always been close with many African Americans.
The man that put my career in the meat business on the fast track was Black. I have been mentored by several and I have mentored and promoted many Africans Americans in my working career.
I’ve been probably 30-40 times. It’s awesome. They love them some Jesus. I just wish I could stay in rhythm.
Looks like the thugs were on the loose in Baltimore and the police did nothing. I can tell you one thing.....that would have NEVER happened in Little Italy 20 years ago.
A spokesman for Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. 'Jack' Young said the toppling of the statue is a part of a national and global reexamination over monuments 'that may represent different things to different people.'
It's definitely different no doubt! My point is for many White folks worshiping our Lord and Savior with a bunch of Negroes is NOT their preference, as it is with a bunch of Black folks worshiping with a predominantly White church. I don't think our Creator sees the color of the skin among those giving him Praise and Thanks, however the worshipers sure do!
It's not wrong or right, it just is when it comes to "culture" and folks we tend to gravitate towards. There are always exceptions of course. You'd be welcomed in my congregation too. We are right down the middle in terms of race...probably one of the most diverse congregations in Atlanta! We get loud, and we are reverent. We shout, and we Pray. The color of our skin makes no difference in our Salvation.
It's just sad we all can't accept our differences while we appreciate more of what we do have in common.

That will normally be the case among believers. I've NEVER had a problem attending predominantly White services. Always treated with respect and welcomed. Same at any Black Churches I visit. Whenever they see White visitors, they are always thanked for coming and treated with the utmost respect. That's the way Jesus' people roll.
I have no doubt. Black folks love to sit down and eat after getting all hyped up from some good *** Preachin'! Some of them Grandma's who volunteer downstairs in the Church kitchen can burn too! I'm talkin' good old-fashioned Southern style Fried chicken, Mac & cheese, Collard Greens, homemade cornbread, candied Yams, and peach cobbler for dessert!
I know, I try to hit all of 'em atl!
