Mississippi church bans African American wedding after complaints

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="-TheSecondSign-"]

They should probably consider a new church.

[QUOTE="champion837"] If that does happen, then what you are describing is resentment towards being oppressed or at the worst group bias. That happens all around the world. It has nothing to do with feeling superior towards a race.champion837

My point is it's not just evil whitey keeping everyone down. It's a shameful act that plagues all races.

Fighting racism with racism. That should turn out well!

[QUOTE="noscope-ak47"]

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Let the racists win. No, if the pastor was a decent person then he'd go ahead with the wedding and tell those racists to go and find a new church. Ravensmash

When does boondocks season 4 come out?

Are you sure this is actually happening? I mean do you think it's being over exaggerated? They cannot ban black people from getting married, there are civil right laws and the couple could easily get a lawyer and sue the hell out of the state for this.

I hope people don't generalise all of Mississippi as being racist, I have never been there but I know better than to generalise an entire population of people with the same brush.

And this is why Mississippi is one of the worst states in the U.S. and should be burned down.MgamerBD

I love how a thread about a blatant act of racism is primarily about how much people hate the term "African American."Sajo7

Racism is one thing, however the fact that the pastor cancelled the wedding just incase he might have lost some votes is disgraceful.

I agree strangely enough.

Had to happen some day :)

God damn it, tenaka, stop making sense. I've had a weird enough day already.

Can they do that? That's blatant discrimination and I thought that was illegal.

[QUOTE="Marth6781"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] People who are not African should not be calling themselves African. If you're born in Canada, you're Canadian. If you're born in America, you're American. If you're born in Africa, You're African. If we trace your descendants far enough, you'll find out that a LOOOONG time ago that we all have had family who was born in africa. Does that make us all African? Should i check the "African" box because i know my heritage can be traced back to Africa? Or do I accept the fact that I'm not from Africa, and that I'm not African? Also, if it's okay for black to call themselves "African Americans" Even if they're not from Africa, what are the people who are actually from Africa supposed to call themselves once they get citizenship?

Mississippi must really like furthering stereotypes

Hmmmmm...a church won't marry black people and OT is arguing about if the phrase "African-American" is warranted. Way to have your priorities straight.

He probably saw a commerical awhile back for the extremely offensive movie "Death at a funeral".(I am white)

A comedy directed towards black people starring many famous black people. Not to mention the white boyfriend and white midget for black people's comedy relief.

After seeing this movie which happens in a church he was probably like "MIDGETS N BLACKS NOT IN MY CHURCH!"

Thanks Chris Rock & Martin Lawrence for setting it back a notch.

A church said they'd do the wedding, but the pastor changed his mind after his congregation complained. Lots and Lots of people visiting that church had an issue with this couple being married, not just a select few. Also, i doubt they're even "African American", chances are their parents weren't even born in Africa.Nibroc420

This is a small, small group of people who made a terrible decision. I'm just ashamed right now that my church would do that.Person from church
