Reverend Collier gets no blintzes.

'Annual Pastors Conference. All White Christians Invited.' Yup, so says a flyer advertising a conference for the totally not crazy sounding Church of God's Chosen. What kind of 10-year olds with a pillow-fort and a 'no girls allowed' sign bullshit is this? Behold:
So like bring a dish to pass. Nothing too 'jew-ey' though.
If he took off the white pride hat and
 stopped denying the holocaust, maybe
someone would have Bill over for shabbas.
In defense of his church's crazy, head pastor and racist-in-chief William J. Collier points out that he hasn't been invited to any black, Muslim or Jewish events for some reason, so really they started it. It's not like the CGC (acronym!) is a even a hate group. Sure, they believe in the inherent superiority of the white race and explicitly bar non-whites from their meetings and the KKK is attending this conference but...uh, what was I saying? Oh, right, Reverend Collier wants to make it clear that his church is not a hate group. They're just united, as a group, in their common hatred of people who look/belive differently. What's hate-groupy about that?

The conference is even ending with a cross burning, oh but not a klany, 'we don't like your kind here' cross burning, this is more of a celebratory 'cross lighting' -like if Burning Man was run by racists instead of dub-stepping ravers on mushrooms.
As it happens, Burners are fervently opposed to
equal rights for giant wooden people.
Like most 1st century Jews living in
Roman Judea, Jesus was probably a Viking.

'We are not breaking any laws, we are not violating any ordinances, we are bringing the word of God to people who want it...' Oh. Ok. But then Collier went on to explain that by 'people who want it' he means white people, who, if you didn't already know '...are part of the chosen race.' Holy shit. Leaving aside the questionable assertion that God's chosen race could possibly be the same one that produced Vanilla Ice, why the hell is 'because religion' a pass for whatever discriminatory, bigoted bullshit someone wants to do? I know they're not technically breaking any laws, but is it really so hard to be a person without the threat of legal repercussions?

And what about the people who live nearby? Thanks to this jackass, their whole community gets lumped into the Alabama stereotype of missing-teeth racists and moonshine, and that's just not fair. Won't somebody please think of the yokels?
