Let It Run Rev. Let It Run - More on Selma's Suckers

"Let It Crawl Rev. Let it Crawl" - More of the Reverend Mark Duke's interesting words about Selma's Suckers!

Without stopping to take a breath, Mark Duke twists his favorite Flip Wilson joke about the Black Church that needs money into a severe scolding of a Selma Church for preaching the gospel gain and that they are getting fat off the people!

There are many things wrong in this portion of the Reverend Duke's sermon - listen carefully.....

listen how Mark Duke believes that the Devil "comes in and brings that measurement, that judgement of the world that gets things outta order in the Church."

Listen how Mark Duke twists the Flip Wilson joke about the black Baptist Church into his disdain for a black Church in Selma and its pastor - the most progressive preacher in Selma, Alabama - a preacher who wears $300 tailored suits! Mark Duke supposedly heard that from the African-American lady of whom he is speaking - but it's him that is preaching it with fire from the pulpit of the House of God and the Freedom Foundation.

Listen to the disgust in his voice as he preaches from his pulpit about the people who are going to Brown Chapel - the middle to upper class African-Americans "while their community is going to hell around them."

Mark Duke tells his followers that nobody is telling the Flip Wilson joke from the pulpit! And for good reason; the joke is old, and so are it's racist connotations! Why would any sensible pastor, black or white, be preaching that old tired stereotype and racist trash from the pulpit. But that's not what the Reverend Duke thinks - he says "nobody is telling that joke from the pulpit, what they're telling from the pulpit is get your money out, get your credit card out, God loves ya and He's gonna bless ya - they're preaching the gospel gain and they're gettin fat off the people is what their doin - and they're a bunch of suckers, they're a bunch of suckers!"

To give the Mark Duke his due, he did mention a Church outside of Selma in this clip - Heritage Christian Center, a large multi-cultural Church in the Denver area.

I'm not sure that I completely understand what Mark Duke is talking about at the beginning of the clip, but that the Devil "comes in and brings that measurement, that judgment of the world that gets things outa order in the Church" seems pretty telling to me....
