We eat bad , think bad, we celebrate ignorance as if it provides us oxygen to live on the daily, and we have separated science from spirituality... Black people are doomed..
And it is our fault

Let me know when two black churches right across the street from each other (This is in every hood) get together for community outreach and try to create jobs and resources for people in need.

The difference between black churches and catholic churches economically is that the Catholic Church falls under the Patriarchy system. Black churches are just independent organizations under 501 (C) 3.

When the pope decides to call another Ecumenical council from the Vatican, whatever decree they set fourth will be implemented in all catholic churches around the world. Case in point the First council of Nicea in 325 C.E. They made a decree that "Jesus Christ was God." Obviously that decree still stands today.

As for the black church. If Reverend Darnell "Two Stroke" Jenkins a former pimp who found God decided to do community outreach for his church, "Mount Sinai on the arch of the covenant African Methodist Church of Christ," The only people that wound be affected is his congregation on that particular street where that church resides.

So supporting a black church economically is not group economics. It merely means you are supporting that church individually.

Death
They don't care.
They never did.
This modern generation of the Black church is all about getting money and fame.

The three million unpaid volunteers for the Red Cross are an able, well-intentioned bunch... and they certainly do a lot of good. But recently the Red Cross organization itself has undergone some close scrutiny, and there are some troubling findings.

According to Richard M. Walden (president and CEO of Operation USA), it is estimated that 70% of the $1.2 Billion donated to Katrina-related donations went to the Red Cross, yet the Red Cross is fully reimbursed by the government for any shelters or emergency services they provide. Repeatedly, the Red Cross has run into trouble for spending much less on disaster recovery than they collect, shuffling the extra funds into their "national disaster account," where it can be used for purposes other than that it was collected for. That's the sort of trouble they saw in the aftermath of the 1989 San Francisco Bay Area earthquake, and after 9/11.

Despite landing in trouble for soliciting more donations than they need and squirreling the rest away, the Red Cross continues to operate this way. The organization makes a total of about $3 billion annually, about half of which is from selling donated blood. Some of this surplus money ends up in disaster relief, but it seems that much does not. Last year alone, the Red Cross spent $111 million in fund raising, and their CEO Marsha Evans made just under $652,000. It seems the the main value they offer is the free help of their volunteer force.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
There are approximately 150,000 'Black' congregations in America. This is a conservative estimate so the math is not exactly accurate. Anyway, dividing $420 bn/congregation gives $2.8 mn per congregation over 30 years. $2.8 mn/congregation divided by 30 years = ~$94k/yr. Since they are non-profit they pay no income/property taxes, but are still responsible for utilities, maintenance costs, salaries, insurance, etc.

If a church is doing well, then they can expect to 'clear' about $15k - $30k./yr. Those funds typically go towards 'social services' such as: homeless shelters, food pantries, emergency assistance, scholarships, day care, after-school programs, drug/alcohol/marriage counseling, etc.

Sure, the 'megachurches' are probably :eat:very well, but the average church in your neighborhood is barely breaking even. Since the average church represents about 99% of ALL 'Black' churches in America, the outrage in this thread is unwarranted.

:snooze:

This thread is pathetic. Most nikkas in this thread don't do shyt for their "community" but complain about it on the internet. Especially all these outspoken ass atheists

My church gave me and all other HS seniors 1k book scholarships for our freshman year of college
My church does clothing and food drives every thanksgiving and Christmas eve
My church does community out reach projects and anti violence rallies all the time
My church has vacation bible school that keeps peoples kids off the streets on summer vacations while they're at work
My church reaches out to black youth for more than programming them full of brand names and sexual deviancies

And this isn't unique to my church at all. But this is something you'd know if you were there and not criticizing everyone from the cushions of your lazyboy.

nikkas kill me with this group economics shyt one day, but can't help their crab tendencies the next. Nike collects BILLIONS on mfs spending their rent checks and child support money on lumps of plastic but that's okay. Apple collects millions of broke nikkas tweeting from iphones but that's okay. Hood Liquor stores & clubs make money and are usually deathtraps but that's okay. But get a gross figure of the earnings of churches (as if they are all connected or profiting), the one group/entity that actually does shyt for the community..... of course we should tear it down. I forgot, only white people are allowed to have money.

.....and didn't give a damn dime of that money to the poor Black folk :francis:
Breh it's crazy. My grandma used to drag me to her prosperity church and they'd shyt on poor people all the time. Saying that being poor meant you weren't right with God. So the church never did any community outreach or food banks. shyt was scusting...
