To the Black preachers in my comments trying to âcorrectâ or ârebukeâ me for daring to challenge the sitting president after he called Black people âgarbageââletâs be honest about what this is really about.
I preached the Bible. The text says we are âfearfully and wonderfully made.â We are created in the image of God. That means no Black person, Somali, African American, Caribbean, immigrant, or otherwise, can be reduced, dehumanized, or discarded without offending the God who made them.
So letâs stop pretending this is about doctrine. Your issue is not that I mishandled scripture. Your issue is that I condemned the words of the son of a klansman who sits in the White Houseâthe man you refuse to confront because you have chosen political loyalty over prophetic truth.
If a white man with a long record of racism can call Black people âgarbageâ and you feel more compelled to rebuke a Black preacher than to rebuke that wickedness, your allegiance is exposed. It is not the gospel. It is MAGA theology wrapped in Bible verses.
It is asinineâdownright dangerousâfor any Black man, especially a Black preacher, living in America to oppose liberation or attack those who speak against injustice. When you remain silent about racism, you are not being biblicalâyou are being complicit.
And let me go further.
In this moment, when this administration is actively erasing Black history, stripping healthcare from the sick, dismantling programs that protect the poor, rolling back civil rights, and catering to white grievance politicsâI question the integrity of any Black preacher who gives it unqualified support. Especially those who weaponize the Bible to justify cruelty, exclusion, and white supremacist policy.
Jesus did not side with empire.
Jesus did not bless oppression.
Jesus did not rebuke the prophets for naming injustice.
He confronted power, defended the marginalized, and exposed religious leaders who loved influence more than truth.
If calling out racism offends you more than racism itself
If protecting Trump matters more than protecting Black life
If MAGA feels more comfortable than liberation
Then donât question my preaching
Question your allegiance
