'Gospel Pimps* And Black Folks' $$$,
Continued from Page 13
them something tangible in return
except a big white elephant that
stands empty all week, except on
Sunday morning, mortgaged to the
hilt to a white bank? Yes, I am
guilty! Am I divisive when I scream
out on the building programs that
are being paid for by poor Negro
folk, and they don’t have a day
school for their children? Yes, I am
guilty!
Am I divisive when I say the
Negro Church takes Black folks’
money and does not provide them
with food, clothing, housing, etc.,
when they need it, and they have to
go to the white-owned, -controlled,
-financed organizations to beg for
the above-mentioned items? Yes, I
am guilty! Am I divisive when I
state that these “pimps” take all the
money from the aged and the poor
and do not provide a nursing home,
a rest home, when they can no
longer pay their money or come to
LGS
Church? Yes, I am guilty!
Am I divisive when I state that
these “Gospel Pimps” take the
money of the little old ladies and
some old men, and don’t provide
them with a credit union, a place
where they could purchase their
food at wholesale, have their own
service station, restaurant, grocery
store, clothing store, etc? Yes, I am
guilty! Am I divisive when I see
these “pimps” driving Negro men
from the Church, because their
wives, daughters, nieces, aunts,
and grandmothers are not safe from
them? Yes, I am guilty!
Am I divisive when I say that
these “Gospel Pimps” use more
drugs and alcohol than the unsaved
persons in the community? Wimess
the building of the ABC liquor store
in the middle of the Negro
residential community, right next
door to some of the leading
Churches in the community. Did
these “pimps” protest to have tt
closed? You know the answer. Yes,
I am auiltv!
Am I divisive when I say that we
turn little Negro boys and girls over
to the enemy every day to be
educated by them, when your own
buildings stand empty every day,
and you raise hell with white folks
because they don’t love your
children or treat them right? Yes, I
am guilty!
Am I divisive when I say that, if
white folks were not interested in
the dollar bill, the Negro com
munity could not survive one day
without their help? Yes, I am guilty!
Am I divisive when I say that the
so-called Negro money Church has
all of the emotions while the so-
called White Church has all the
money? Yes, I am guilty! Am I
divisive when I encourage men to
love their wives and children, don’t
have sex until marriage and start
their own schools? To Stop buying
what they want and begging fdr
what they need? Encouraging them
to get the Bible back into the school
and to remove all birth-control
methods from the schools? Yes, I
am guilty!
Why are Negro or Black folks so
afraid of the truth? Have they
forgotten the words of Jesus when
He said that the truth would set you
free? I read this to mean: the
knowledge of the truth will set you
free. This is the same as a person
standing outside of the food store
and dying from a lack of food. He
knows the food is there, but it must
get on the inside of him before it
will help him.
Yes, I believe I am guilty of all
the above. NOW, FOR WHICH
ONE DO YOU STONE ME?
