Couple BANNED From Church For Being Interracial

NL- What decade is this? geez

In a move to "promote greater unity" among its body and the Pike County community it serves, a small Kentucky church voted to ban interracial couples from membership and from participating in certain worship activities, Kentucky.com reports.
Though reminiscent of some Jim Crow-era mandate, the Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church actually made the decision earlier this month, following a visit from 24-year-old Stella Harville, daughter of the church’s secretary and clerk, and her 29-year-old fiance, Ticha Chikuni, a native of Zimbabwe.
According to Harville’s father, Dean Harville, Stella brought Chikuni to the church in June where they performed a song for the congregation.
Following the visit, former pastor Melvin Thompson told Harville that his daughter and her fiance could not sing at the church again. Thompson later proposed that the church go on record saying that while all people were welcome to attend public worship services there, the church did not condone interracial marriage.
His proposal, which was accepted by a 9-6 vote last week, also suggested that married interracial couples be prohibited from becoming members and used in worship activities, except for funerals.
"It’s not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form," said Randy Johnson, president of the Pike County Ministerial Association, according to Kentucky.com.
While Pike County and the surrounding community come to grips with the church’s decision, researchers at Ohio State University and Cornell University say black-white marriages in the United States are soaring, increasing threefold, from 3 percent in 1980 to 10.7 percent in 2008

  1. It’s a fucking Baptist church in Kentucky, what did they expect?

    “Well good mornin’ Stella, aren’t ya’ gonna’ intra’duce the congregation to your niggard’ lover?”

  2. We live in a PC world now where any voice or decision that is not 100% hyper Politically Correct will be crushed. You would think a house of God would be the last folks to be banning mixed relationships.

    This is going to end badly for the Church.

  3. Ah yes, and the adult film industry shines a beacon of racially tolerant light upon us all with such brilliant masterpieces like: Black Cocks White Sluts, Big Black Beef Stretches Little Pink Meat, White Wife Black Cock, Dirty Blondes And Black Cocks, Black Dick In Daddy’s Daughter, and my personal favorite: 3 Black Bros and 1 White Ho 3, which showed a definite improvement over the first two.

    Who can argue with such superheroes of social justice and commentary?

    Aint nothin’ happening to the church except some sort of possible public ire. It’s a baptist church in a southern oriented state. This shit’s been going on for years. Baptists always preached hate and fear. Actually, a lot of the organized christianity outfits here preach hate and fear, they just do a better job of masking it then the Baptists. Baptists don’t give a fuck.

  5. The church is overturning the ban. They have recieved tons of angry e-mails and calls complaining. Now they are back peddling and saying it was just 9 “backward thinking individuals” that voted for the ban.

  6. I’m surprised, Baptist don’t back-peddle very often.
