I asked you a question that you are still evading.

Oy. OK. "Racial nationalism" is a term that refers to people who seek to create a seperate nation based on race.
Your definition is severely limited to say the least!

Quote:
Obama is running for president of the U.S.
Which is an unsettling thought considering that he belongs to a church that pledges it's loyalty to Africa first and foremost; from the "about us" section of the TUCC website:

"We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."

and loves this country, so not sure why "racial nationalism" is part of the discussion.
This is not racial nationalism? From the "Black Value System" of the TUCC:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

Trinity United is a branch of the United Church of Christ, which is a VASTLY majority white denomination. How can I "prove" that. Can you "prove" that Catholics tend to be mostly white in America? I don't understand what you want me to prove here.
We are discussing TUCC the branch not the overall mothership. I doubt that the overall UCC mission statement includes pledging allegiance to black leaders only...
