The contrast is interesting. First of all, let&#8217;s talk about politics from the pulpit in America. It is no secret that <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Democratic Party (United States)\" href=\"http:\/\/senate.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Democratic<\/a> candidates routinely speak and raise money in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Black church\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Black_church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">black churches<\/a>. Republican candidates generally do not speak in churches because of concerns of the tax status of the churches. There is definitely a double standard.<\/p>\n<p>So what happened when Donald Trump went into a black church in Flint, Michigan, to speak?<\/p>\n<p>CNN reports:<\/p>\n<div class=\"el__leafmedia el__leafmedia--sourced-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The pastor who hosted Donald Trump at her church in Flint, Michigan, interrupted the Republican presidential nominee during his speech Wednesday to ask him to refrain from attacking his rival <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Hillary Clinton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hillary_Clinton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Hillary Clinton<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8220;Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we&#8217;ve done in Flint, not give a political speech,&#8221; Rev.

What he will see is how we are braving a manmade catastrophe.<strong> HE WILL NOT USE US, WE will EDUCATE HIM!!!<\/strong>\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Trump handled the event graciously. He did remark later that he felt as if something was going on because the Pastor was extremely nervous.<\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to remind Pastor Timmons who created the manmade catastrophe. The Democrats have been in charge of Flint for a number of years and made the decision to stop buying water from Detroit and sign up with a regional water system; in the meantime, it was getting its municipal water from the Flint River, not noted for its pristine water quality.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats are getting support from the black churches. The Democrats are the people who have created a welfare system that has destroyed the black family, destroyed the work ethic in the black community and created generational poverty and dependence. At some point, I believe the black community and its churches will wake up to the damage done to them by Democratic policies. All of this was foreseeable&#8211;<a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Daniel Patrick Moynihan\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daniel_Patrick_Moynihan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan<\/a> predicted the outcome of the War of Poverty policies and the negative impact they would have on the black community fifty years ago.
