#2, FOR THOSE FOLLOWING PASTOR/DR. VODDIE BAUCHAM....WHY ANTIRACISM ZEALOTS ARE TRYING TO SILENCE BLACK VOICES LIKE MINE...EXCERPTS....

As a Christian minister, I’m used to being stifled when I talk about my religion outside of church. If I bring up faith in Jesus Christ, the guardians of the secular public square are quick to inform me that my religion is strictly a private matter.  But these days I’m stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of antiracism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business.....

AND .... Antiracism and the “woke” priesthood are targeting not merely the “wrong” black voices. They are coming for all of us. You might acquiesce to their demands today, but they will continue to demand more and more of you. Your official statements will not be remorseful enough. Your reparations packages will not be big enough. Your diversity initiatives will not be diverse enough. You cannot appease the god of antiracism. MORE FROM THE NY POST HERE.
