Alabama pastor holds ‘whites only’ conference

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/ala ... 45760.html

A controversial pastor's conference welcoming only "white Christians" is underway in Lamar County, Ala., upsetting residents of the nearby town of Winfield in the western part of the state.

Christian Identity Ministries is holding a three-day conference for so-called "white Christians" who contend they have been treated unfairly, the Rev. Mel Lewis told local TV station WSFA. Lewis, the organizer and keynote speaker, says they have the right, like any other Americans, to worship how they wish.

Ku Klux Klan flags and white supremacy slogans surround the conference, which will conclude with a cross being set on fire Friday night. Organizers say it's not a cross-burning, but rather sacred Christian cross lighting.

"We are not breaking any laws. We're not violating any ordinances. We're bringing the Word of God to people who want it, obviously, or they wouldn't be here," Lewis told the TV station.

Lewis said of the conference-goers: "They are part of the chosen race."

The mayor of nearby Winfield said residents are upset, and the event does not represent their town in any way.

"Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this," Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas told another local TV station, WECT.

"It's surprising to see something like that in our town," said Tyler Cantrell. "I know it's been here in the past."

Organizers say their ministry is not a hate group and that although there is a strong KKK presence, the Klan did not sponsor the event.

    I think labeling anyone as white, black, red, purple, etc. is stupid.

    But, we seem to allow black-only events and organizations, so why not?
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    probably because most of history is viewed as "white only"... this is 2012 and there are other cultures and ethnicities...

    this guy is holding a conference based on only allowing "white people" to attend while not allowing people of color. why not allow everybody who feels like they have been mistreated??? i gurantee he would have a larger conference that way.

    there is a large kkk presence there, so yeah it is pretty much a hate convention...

    Personally... I don't give a shit. I already know it is going to be a Dumbfuckapolloza with all the , 'Poor poor me white man... being all persecuted' bullshit spewed from the mouths with no minds to back them.
    ...
    And to Know1... things like BET and such are NOT 'Blacks Only'. You are invited to watch BET... nothing and no one is stopping you from participating.
    That is the difference.

    you think labeling anyone is stupid...then go on to justify this because there are black-only (<--label) events...

    :lol:

    and those purple only events are Ka-RRRRazy....I snuck into one a few years ago...the chicks were incredible...

    Yeah - I did that for the sake of convenience to this topic, but I really do think labeling people like that is stupid.

    We're all mixed race and we're all different in other ways too. Why pick one label if you're made up of several labels?

    look. It isn't our fault they figured out how to record things in the news in 1943. We tried hard to keep it from them, so as not to look so stupid, but they figured out how to use the printing press... those cute little dummies.

    In the end, I suppose it is / could be inconsequential and of course they're free to do and worship as they please; doesn't mean we're not gonna give our opinions on the apparent shittiness (or not?) of it.

    I don't condone "white supremacy" any more than I do for any other race or nationality.

    Plus, this disturbs me - ' "Lewis said of the conference-goers: "They are part of the chosen race." '

    Yeah, sounds pretty fucked up to me.

    I agree, 100% with you. People need to quit bitching about being poor, persecuted and left out, just because they are white. Who gives a fuck if there is a BET and Black History Month, right?

    yeah I have heard a few different churchs say the same thing "chosen race" or in the same line of thinking
    "the one right church" sometimes I have to believe that God just smiles or even laughs at that stuff sometimes.

    I like your post.

    Winfield ain't a resort town or one of the garden spots of this fair state...in fact it ain't far from Mississippi :lol: ...not even sure what the racial mix is for the area. I'm sure that is not a lot of wealth being spread around in that general area of the state, and this kind of crap gets eaten up by the poor regardless of race.

    BTW.....Winfield is not adjacent to an interstate highway. The new interstate highway between Birmingham and Memphis by-passed them.

    And you can go to the Asian Church or the Islamic Church and be treated the exact same way a Buddhist or Muslim would be treated if they walked into a Christian Church.
    The point of this conversation is this Pastor is lumping all white people with his KKK lead agenda. That is NOT true. Not ALL White people are racist fucks. The people who are doing the crying here... are the White KKK types, like this pastor... and the fools who believe them.
    If you want a White Entertainment Television... then, tell you what. Have all of the people switch positions. Let minority groups run the governments and the corporations and fill the ghettos with white folk. THEN, you will be in the minority and the other races will let you have one crappy television station. It would have to be a negative image of what exists today, to get what you want.
    Careful what you wish for.

    Silly white people. I especially enjoy the chosen race thing -- it goes without saying, but I have to say it anyway -- I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't look anything like the folks that will be showing up to this convention.
