He didn't have this dream.

I saw a disappointing poll yesterday. It basically said that white Christians are more racist than non -Christian whites. I was disappointed but not surprised. That old saying about the most segregated time in America being Sunday morning is true. Let's face it, our Christian brothers and sisters  aren't exactly doing what JC would have done when he was chilling with his posse disciples back in the day.

I suspect that if you preached a sermon in one of those white mega churches down South about us all having one father the offering plate would be very empty that Sunday morning.

Which brings me to a Christian institution of higher learning, Liberty University.

Apparently the "chosen people" who are in charge of that little piece of heaven on earth decided that it was cool to invite Donald trump to speak on MLK Day. Yes, you read that right, Donald freaking trump!

I know that trump says that he has a good relationship with "the Blacks", but this is wrong on so many levels. It's like having Bill Cosby address a Women Against Abuse conference. Not cool.

"I said ‘No, it can’t be,” he said. “I double checked and triple checked. Immediately, it struck me as inappropriate and a lot of my friends as well.”                                                           
              

McGowan said he and some student allies are planning a peaceful demonstration outside of the security perimeter at the Vines Center on Monday. They plan to hold signs with Martin Luther King Jr. quotes and sing songs about equality and God’s love for all.

 
According to McGowan, they don’t oppose Trump speaking at Liberty, just the day he will speak. Trump is one of many presidential candidates to speak at Liberty University this election season. Others included Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush, and Ted Cruz.
 
Reached by phone Monday, President Jerry Falwell Jr. said inviting Trump on Martin Luther King Jr. Day was a purposeful decision, and it was selected out of several possible dates.
 
“We chose that day so that Mr. Trump would have the opportunity to recognize and honor Dr. King on MLK day,” he said, adding it’s part of Trump’s plan for the speech."

You mean right after he says something like this?

“I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it,” Trump told John R. O’Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, according O’Donnell’s account in his 1991 book “Trumped!” “The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.”

Trump, according to O’Donnell, went on to say, “‘Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”
 
No words.
