“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    I agree with the sign, but churches must stay out of politics. It’s time that churches stop being tax exempt.

      I mean I agree with the sentiment, but churches have been openly discussing and endorsing specific political views and candidates for quite a while now, and this trend is getting more and more widespread and extreme.

      Nobody actually enforces the Johnson amendment.
