Okay, so let’s say you’re black and you live in an older section of Dallas, Texas, and it’s Sunday morning and you are in church.  And when you leave church ….

An Oak Cliff church that proudly flies a banner reading Black Lives Matter had nearly 1,000 unwanted visitors gather on their campus Sunday.

Pro-police riders jammed up the church’s parking lot and surrounding streets — sparking a counter-protest Sunday night.

With flags flying — including at least one Confederate flag — the mostly white visitors called themselves the “Back the Blues Cruise,” said they were on a mission to support police.

 

This was the largest attempt by the rightwing to confront Black church goers in their own parking lot.  They have been trying it at smaller black churches in east and north Texas.

And then add …

The Blue Lives Matter rally had police escorts and was supported by police, which is why later that night protesters marched on the Dallas Police Department. Although Dallas PD denies escorting the rally, they said they were just there to direct traffic.

What?  I thought that was what a police escort was — directing traffic.

Look, when the members of First Baptist Church in Dallas come to support and protect their brothers and sisters at Friendship West Baptist Church, I’ll stand down, but until then, let me say that white Baptist churches are making Little Baby Jesus cry.

Thanks to Vicki for the heads up.
