    The EC has voted, on behalf of the SBC, to withdraw fellowship from Raleigh White Baptist Church in Albany, Ga., based on 'clear evidence' of racial discrimination. #sbcam18

        You guys seriously need to do a top-to-bottom examination of your entire convention. You are riddled with racism. There is no "holy spirit" in any way associated with the SBC. You were founded on the defense of slavery, and racism still thrives in the SBC today.

        @baptistpress where was this type of action 2 years ago with the Mt. Sterling situation in Butler, AL. Now they've fired another pastor for baptizing a black lady.

        So your saying that if they aren’t going to allow racist #SBC churches then they shouldn’t allow Korean speaking churches or predominantly black churches? This may be why the #SBC is still having a hard time overcoming the stigma of their racist past.

        If there's clear evidence it's the right decision. If there's clear evidence it should also accompany the announcement that we've withdrawn fellowship.

        But why? Southern Baptists know Jeeeeeesus hated liberals. And Democrats. And brown people. And women. And Jews. Southern Baptists would have probably hated Jeeeeesus for being Semitic and speaking Aramaic. He'd be a foraner. What do you think?

        What do you mean? Withdrawing fellowship from a church showing racial partiality fires up liberals? As in the liberals LIKE it?

        The denomination was born from racism. Maybe that’s the problem?
