From a flyer for a new church in town. Something seems fishy:
We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These White Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Whites are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1.Commitment to God
2.Commitment to the White Community
3.Commitment to the White Family
4.Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5.Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6.Adherence to the White Work Ethic
7.Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8.Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9.Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community
10.Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
11.Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
12.Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System

Nope. But that's Barak Obama's church, when you replace "white" with "black". It's like a reverse-KKK. And Barak is a proud member of this church. The link to his church is below.

Dear Duke,
I would not go to such an organization. I certainly can't call that a church.
They have a commitment to a manmade religion rather than a Relationship with the Author of life.
Do you have a Relationship with the awesome uncreated Creator of the universe?

Sounds like something the KKK would come up with. If you're truly concerned about this, I'd take the flyer to a local police station, as they prefer to have knowledge of possibly racist groups, and just state that you're worried about the impact it will have on the neighborhood.

Sounds like the KKK..
and no-- I wouldn't go to that church.
---interesting. I just went to the web link sited below. For some reason, I immediately thought-"well, then it isn't racist, It's just black people supporting their community"--But, then I thought, "Why not the whole community?" Strange how I am programmed to think that way.

...I would not go. The Lord loves all who believe on Jesus and is no respecter of persons.
...The only way to beat racism is to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.
...And Galations 3:26-28 says this:
...26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
...27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
...28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
...The "White Value System" junk is absent (thank the Lord!)
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
(Acts 16:31)
...Whosoever will, may come.

No, it's too exclusive. Sounds like a bunch of white supremists. Can't stand them.

Well, sounds like their 1st one contradicts most of the rest of them. The God I serve isn't like that.

Why are Americans obsessed with race anyways?

Where I live, that Church wouldn't be standing long enough for anyone to attend it.
