Excellent conversation. Thoroughness was real good! As black christian myself it was necessary. The church will never lose its spiritual motivation movement & moment of the civil war & civil rights Era. I mention civil war because we must confess it was the brutality & ownership of slavery that was considered against the principals of God, then furthered to civil rights, especially after Jim Crow. We cannot be too afraid to acknowledge yes Christians had a role in the freedom of "wrongful enslaved African black Americans". No blinders. Then we can face the issue: it no longer plays a big role in the advancement, financial wealth, education or health, of black americans!! It has actually in some various instances, become harmful. Exploitation is huge, neglect is rampant and faithfulness to community members in despair. Just 1 more point; the lady said (paraphrase) if you deny a person their right you should be slapped or hit "whatever", but what about a persons right to practice the religion they choose, would not they deserve respect of their choices as you are asking for. I think its interesting people in the LGTQ community feel christians do not have a right to religion. Simply odd
