A Birmingham Baptist church is targeting Black voters with a sign calling those who plan to vote for Trump "ignorant stupid negroes."

“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.”

    Local Trump supporters expressed opposition, including, Daxton Kirk, who told WZDX he reached out to city officials regarding the sign.

    “You should not be able to come into a building and feel like you are hated or diversified just because you came here to worship the Lord,” Kirk said.

      This church hurt my feelings so their First Amendment rights should be violated.

      I agree that churches playing politics should be taxed as long as the law is applied consistently. With 100% certainty this Trumper would shit his pants in rage if the such justice occurred to a MAGA church.

      In fact, all churches should be taxed. Those doing charitable work can apply for the nonprofit status like everyone else.

        According to US case law. The power to tax is the power to destroy, so the state government cannot tax federal government.

        There are several arguments for taxing church and I can’t help but think that soon we will be just having a closer relationship between church and state if the pastors start pandering for the current government.

        He believes diversity is a bad thing so getting diversified is not something he wants happening to him. I don’t think it goes beyond that, just a dumb fascist being a dumb fascist.
