I don't want a white man as my pastor!
"I don't want a white man as my pastor! We've come too far by faith to let a white man still have authority over us, and I'll not submit to a white man as pastor." said a brother of color to me when I was traveling through central Florida a number of years ago.
Of course, this isn't the dominant mentality among people of black heritage, but there is a prevailing attitude of this sort among many southern blacks.
Whites aren't any better. I live in the north, and there's a few churches here locally where black men lead the local congregation of mostly white churches. Many older white church members have said that they don't want a black man as pastor.
I pray for these types of people that the scales of racism would fall from their eyes.

Re: I don't want a white man as my pastor!
I'd like a black pastor. I am white as can be but there's so many awesome and anointed black preachers out there that put many white ones to shame!  I am not TV preacher watcher, but man those black dudes can outpreach most of the white preachers on there! Woohoo! I think I have more black in me than white! lol

Re: I don't want a white man as my pastor!
I like to hear good preaching but a pastor needs to have more than just pulpit ministry. It is sad but preaching has become an entertainment industry. Skin color shouldn't matter, but the character of the man should be important. God places pastors in people's lives and we should follow after God and not personal preferences.
