african-looking people serve the god of their oppressors because they are cowardly, lazy-brained empty vessels. they do not hear the voices of our ancestors calling for vengeance. they are afraid of exercising any critical thinking, that’s why they bought into the saviour/heaven concept. they can’t even connect the dots. they go along to get along. how has that worked out for them? they are as, if not more miserable than the rest of us because they lock themselves in another prison besides this shit hole called america. the so-called religion makes them liars, hypocrites and back-stabbers, in other words, the mirror image of their captors. a sad and scurrilous bunch.

It should be patently obvious that they do not serve the same god as African people . Their god sanctioned slavery….colonialism…jim crow and the mess in this artical . Wake up. How on earth could African people “serve” such a god. such a god would be our enemy! Our god exist indiametric opposition to their gods. It can hardly be any other way without raising fundamental contradictions. They understand this why don’t we?

First of all Dr. Boyce last I checked this was a free country and a black person should be able to attend any church anywhere they want especially since we all serve ONE God. Secondly, black people in the South do NOT “have an intense need to mingle with white people in order to feel worthy”. I do remember you pitching a fit about not getting tenure or something of the sort from Syracuse i.e. blacks professors do not get the tenure they are due at white universities. Third, MS isn’t the only Southern state with a rebel flag as its state flag-and we do NOT defend it. MS is predominately WHITE! MS is a RED state! MS black citizens voted for Barack Obama MORE than any state in the nation. MS has more black elected officials than ANY state in the NATION! Get your facts straight Dr. Boyce and learn ALL of MS history.

You are right I have said this for along time but while I was saying it I felt I was betraying religion the same religion that uses the “King James ” version. It’s Mississippi people did ya really expect to be embrace by the very same people and place that is the birth place of the granddaddy of all the hate groups the KKK the water hose spraying German Shepard dog sic in on people ass people they had groups an even neighbor hood associations in that very city to deny and oppress us of our very basic human rights did this couple think it was gone. They must be young and from out of town or a brideszilla that fell in love with venue don’t be a fool it’s after all Mississippi.

The true church is neither white or black. The pastor and true Christians should always stand up for what is right, even If it means going against the white members of this church who are racists, even If it leads to his or her ouster from this so called church and starting at another location, with the ones who r true Christians I unfortunately dare to say that the majority of whites r the same inside their hearts as their slave holding ancestors for their negatives actions speak louder than any words, for they r the real one’s who keep slavery alive and well, which can be seen in them in all areas of society A thru Z, Hell awaits All racists, rich r poor.

(1) Racism has no expiration date. (2)Maybe the Black female was looking for a white man and that is why she went to that church for she went there for a year while her husband went for a month. (3) A little envious that a man like that could bag such a beautiful young woman even with that straw color “hair”, if she was wearing her hair natural then she would be beyond beautiful in this one man opinion.

Sorry people but I blame the Black couple here. That’s right I blame them and just so you know I’m Black.
Why in God’s name would this couple want to have their wedding ceremony in a White church. There ain’t a day in hell I’d want my vows recited in the Filth of a White church. Pure Filth is what that church along with all their members. The only thing present in a White church is the Devil himself. It’s 2012 Black people when in God’s name are we going to wake up and stay away from these White Beast. Get a damn grip and go have your wedding in the park or something any place but the church of the White Beast.

I am a Black woman. My family & I live in Montana. I make it a point not to attend ANYONE’S church. However, I became friends with a lady here in our town. As a favor to her, I accompanied her to a weekly women’s bible study group. Wow. I cannot begin to tell you some of the crap that I endured. (from so called christians) Unbelievable. However, I gave as good as I got. I have been here quite a few years. I have no intention of leaving. No one bothers me anymore. It is beautiful here. I don’t have to deal with “urban” behavior. If I were to re-marry, I would not get married in a church period, especially one in a predominately white town.
