Either it was all white people, or the white people and black people wouldn’t sit together. I don’t know which is worse.

Isn't it normal etiquette to take off the hat in a church?
None of the people wearing a hat in that picture would be able to spell etiquette without a K. They love their Ks.
Bro they already took off their white hoods in the house of God. Give them a break.
not really
Traditionally, men should remove their hats during prayers or hymns, whereas women might choose to keep their decorative hats on. However, this practice can vary greatly depending on the denomination and local customs. Observing other attendees and being aware of the norms can help you navigate this aspect with grace. src
given this wasn’t even a service, but just using the space as a venue, i will say that the hats are the least disgusting thing happening in the image

I'm sorry but should a church housing a political rally and supporting a political figure not be all sorts of illegal if theyre tax exempt?
The claim was that it was a roundtable discussion that Trump was a part of.
But of course, every Trump public appearance is a Trump rally.
A claim that isn't true and made knowingly is called a lie.
But also any time his lips move and words are produced, they are also called lies.
I prefer "the voice of treason"

the reporting on this could be better which sucks because it’s obvious it’s going to be memeified for months now
was this actually a church sponsored event or was it just being hosted in the building as a venue?
not coming at this with any assumptions or narratives i just wish there was more reliable original data than some twitter links i can’t look at without an account :/
The pastor agreed to it after being contacted by the trump campaign. here with the pastor's explanation
ugh bless you thanks so much
edit, my take: wow that pastor seems like an upstanding guy and i would be nervous for his decision if i didn’t have hindsight and see it played out in a way that clearly only showed his guest’s hypocrisy.
It's still pretty damned telling no black people came to their own church to hear him talk.
He said his parishioners literally laughed in his face when he asked them to come.
I'm doubt the church is real, because I got no reports of Trump instantly burning to ash the moment he set foot in it.
The church is definitely real. God on the other hand...
So you want god to do the work, that you're supposed to do? Do we live in a democracy or a theocracy?

I definitely would rather be trapped with a bear.
As a dude, I'm starting to understand the analogy...
This is the best possible outcome we can hope for considering his last visit to a church... Which isn't saying much. 100% less teargas this time!
He thought it could have been a chance to hear the voice of the marginalized. He apparently hasn't heard a trump interview or debatr before.
What "black"?
The parishioners are supposed to be but all these white people REPLACED THEM.

He must have meant their hearts. A crusted crumbling charcoal heart.
Source?

Russ McNamara is the Detroit reporter mentioned.
Lol I love that the only black guy apparently in the audience was this guy
I don’t want these people to be in charge of the country. Is that wrong?
Republicans are full of hate and lies.
Oh, wrong kind of black church, I was trying to figure if he was going to a branch of the satanic temple or what was going on here...
The Satanic Temple come off as solid Democrats if not anarchocommunists or something. If it was a Satanic house of worship, it could possibly be the Church Of Satan (who, at least in Anton LaVey’s time, were dominance-oriented Ayn Rand assholes philosophically indistinguishable from today’s Republican Christianity), or if they’ve mellowed in their old age, the Order of Nine Angles (who, conveniently, are also neo-Nazis).

I mean just because the church is black - it might have be a satanist church and that's why they painted it black - doesn't mean that the people inside have to be black.
He meant black as in its painted black not that it's predominantly attended by black people.
Best video I could find. Absolutely not sure about the source. I don't have Instagram so I can't verify anything but looks legit.
