Blacks and the UPCI - Page 5

I'm not UPCI so I can't really answer your questions, but I do want to welcome you to the AFF Family. Oh, I know its not really a family only a forum. But its a forum made of of all kinds of people. Different ideas, different views. Different Races, and Cultures. But its made of of people who love the Lord and are passionate about their services to Him. So, welcome Brother PraiseHymn, and may you always feel at home here at AFF!

I posted this then went back and read the shameful comment made by TS. Whether spoken TIC or serious, such comments have no place on a forum composed mainly of Apostolic Christains. TS should consider offering an explanation, a truthful, explanation, for his or her temporary lapse in moral judgement. If TS isn't reprimanded, then no one saying anything about anyone should ever be banned. My apologies PraiseHymn, as you can see, TS stands alone is in disgraceful comment.

would his comment be construed differently if TS is a person of color?

Why? What do you think, Daniel?

Truthseeker has not yet indicated such...so we are waiting for an explanation or an apology.

My favorite churches are those with diverse cultures. I hate going to all white churches because I love how the brothers and sisters worship, dress, and respect the ministry.

Many of my best friends are African American and they have always been welcome in any Apostolic Church I have been in.

Keep your T.V.'s and your facial hair and just worship God with us.

Blessings, Rhoni

Good post! Racism is not "Holiness". Some strain at gnats and swallow camels!

I find your words to be extremely offensive and ungodly. Furthermore, I think the emoticon you used is offensive and a bit racial. All African-American females do not act in that matter. I for one do not, that is stereotypical to portray African-American females with an "attitude". I trust you did not mean to be offensive; you are forgiven should you ask.

Since all skin contains pigment....all are considered "persons of color".
If by "color" you are referring to African-Americans....as an African-American I find the term "color" to be offensive. Yet, in any case; the comment is not "construed differently". People of all ethnicities make statements that are offensive, even at times against those of the same ethnicity.
