And being a black member of a religious group that tells its members that only black men are worthy of allegiance is alright? This is from the website of this church; this goes beyond the mere opinion of a pastor but is part of the church belief structure:

Interestingly enough this value system has apparently been removed from the front page Church website after

YouTube - Barack's Trinity Church (Part 1 of 2)
YouTube - Barack's Trinity Church (Part 2 of 2)
Here is the flimsy response from the TUCC:
Trinity United Church of Christ: Flimsy Response after being exposed: May change so read quick
Where is the print based "Black Value System" on the TUCC website? Did I miss it? They refuse to renounce it but where is it?
