AL SHARPTON, DWIGHT MCKISSIC, AND OTHER BLACK RELIGIOUS LEADERS DO NOT PROMOTE GLOATING OVER THIS SAD CONVICTION OF A FORMER PRESIDENT; HOWEVER, THEY DO CALL OUT TRUMP’S CRIMINAL JUSTICE CONTRADICTIONS AND HYPOCRISY AS HE STRONGLY CRITICIZES THE GUILTY VERDICT HE HAS RECEIVED. AL SHARPTON, WHO DEFENDED THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE AGAINST TRUMP, WHO HAPPENED TO BE TRIED IN THE SAME COURTROOM AS TRUMP, WHO CALLED FOR THEIR EXECUTION IN A FULL-PAGE AD ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY WERE ALL INNOCENT; NOW ONE OF THEM SITS ON THE CITY COUNCIL.

 

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, TELLS WHITE EVANGELICAL PASTORS AND BLACK CHRISTIAN PASTORS SOMETHING HE HAD WARNED THEM ABOUT FOR OVER 16 YEARS — THAT IS, GET THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS, OBEY THE WORD OF GOD, AND “DO NOT GET ENTANGLED WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE,” FOLLOW THE APOSTOLIC PRINCIPLE FOUND IN ACTS 4:6 THAT “WE WILL GIVE OURSELVES CONTINUALLY TO PRAYER AND THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD,” OBEY THE GREAT COMMANDMENT AND THE GREAT COMMISSION THAT JESUS CHRIST LEFT FOR US TO DO AS HIS MINISTERS, FOR THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, SINCE THE DAYS OF THE TWIN PROPHETS — DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AND DR. BILLY GRAHAM — WHO GOD USED TO WORK IN TANDEM, YET INDIVIDUALLY, TO CHANGE AMERICA AND THE WORLD, IGNORANT AND DISOBEDIENT WHITE EVANGELICAL PASTORS AND IGNORANT AND DISOBEDIENT BLACK CHRISTIAN PASTORS WITH NEITHER GROUP ACTING AS THOUGH THEY ARE HEARING FROM GOD, HAVE LED THE COUNTRY TO THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE AND DESTRUCTION. WHYTE SAID AND SAYS AGAIN, THE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA ARE NOT BIDEN AND TRUMP, REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS; THE PROBLEM IS WHITE EVANGELICAL PASTORS AND BLACK CHRISTIAN PASTORS WHO HAVE COMPROMISED AND COLLUDED WITH THE GOVERNMENT, NON-PROFITS AND BUSINESSES TO BRING ABOUT THE ABOMINABLE EVIL WE SEE IN OUR COUNTRY WITH PROMINENT BISHOPS AND PASTORS BEING ACCUSED OF AND PARTICIPATING IN POWER BOTTOM HOMOSEXUALITY, SEX TRAFFICKING, PASTORS WHO ARE REGISTERED AS SEX OFFENDERS FOR MOLESTING CHILDREN AND THE FOOLISH-ACTING PEOPLE IN THE PEWS KEEPING THEM ON AS PASTORS; WHOREMONGERS AND WHORES IN THE PULPIT, COMMITTING ADULTERY, PROMOTING ADULTERY, LIVING IN ADULTERY THROUGH DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE, WHICH IS COMMONPLACE IN THE CHURCH TODAY (SO MUCH SO THAT THE CHURCH HAS AN UNBIBLICAL MINISTRY CALLED ‘DIVORCE CARE’), AS WELL AS SWINGING AMONG PASTORS, DEACONS, AND TRUSTEES. WHYTE SAYS TIME WOULD FAIL HIM TO MENTION ALL OF THE CRIMES AGAINST GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND HEAVEN THAT BLACK CHRISTIAN PASTORS AND WHITE EVANGELICAL PASTORS HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND HEAVEN. FOR, WHITE EVANGELICAL PASTORS AND BLACK CHRISTIAN PASTORS HAVE LED THE CHURCH AS WE KNOW IT TO THE WORSE FALLING-AWAY — JUDAS-LAODICEAN-JEZEBEL-LED CHURCH IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THANK GOD FOR THE “REMNANT CHURCH,” THE “FAITHFUL FEW CHURCH,” AND “THE GOD-RESERVED 7,000 CHURCH.” MAY GOD HELP US, MY BELOVED! 

— As Donald Trump lambasted the guilty verdict of his hush money trial this week, he stood inside a Manhattan courthouse that was the site of one of the most notorious examples of injustice in recent New York history. And he had a part in that.

It’s the same courthouse where five Black and Latino youths were wrongly convicted 34 years ago in the beating and rape of a white female jogger. The former president famously took out a newspaper ad in New York City in the aftermath of the 1989 attack calling for the execution of the accused in a case that roiled racial tensions locally and that many point to as evidence of a criminal justice system prejudiced against defendants of color.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

But on Friday, a day after making history as the first U.S. president convicted of felony crimes in a court of law, Trump blasted that same criminal justice system as corrupt and rigged against him.

“This is a scam,” he said of the case brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office led by Alvin Bragg, the first Black person in the role, and overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, who is of Colombian descent.

“This is a rigged trial. It shouldn’t have been in that venue. We shouldn’t have had that judge,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said Friday from Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Some Black Americans found irony in Trump railing against the injustice of his own conviction, in a courthouse where five Black and Latino teenagers were wrongly convicted in a case Trump supported so vociferously. The Central Park Five case was Trump’s first foray into tough-on-crime politics that preluded his full-throated populist political persona. To many, Trump employed dog whistles as well as overtly racist rhetoric in both chapters of his public life.

But lately, in his outreach to Black and Hispanic communities, Trump has adopted the language of criminal justice reform advocates. He claims Black Americans and Latinos can relate to him because prosecutors are out to get him like they have been out to get many men and boys in their communities.
