Black Pastors That Support Donald J. Trump Are All Snake Oil Salesmen

[AdSense-A]

Donald J. Trump has been a master of distraction and misdirection from the moment he stepped on to the political scene with his racist birtherism ideology. Most people would think this would be a red flag for any person that is part of the Black community. However, it has not discouraged ambitious and money hungry Pastors from joining Trump for photo ops with the hope of getting closer to money and wealth. It does not take much research to uncover the truth about many of these hypocrites. Perhaps the easiest to unmask is Darrell Scott. He was a member of Trump’s executive transition team and he co-created the so-called National Diversity Coalition.

Along with the most recent member of the Trump inner circle to turn on him Trump’s lawyer Michael D. Cohen the National Diversity Coalition was supposedly formed to create to target more people of color, mainly black people to become Trump supporters. In reality it seems like another opportunity to create another cash grab for Darrell Scott. This is not the worst of it. Darrell Scott is the Pastor of the New Spirit Revival Church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio an area with an average income $53,000 annually but he lived in a 1.9 million dollar home.
I say he lived in because he was facing eviction last summer from lack of payment. His church paid $10,000 a month for his residence. Rather than live in a fully owned church parsonage he lived in a lavish mansion for over 6 years. A working class and middle class community with a pastor that spent over $720,000 to rent a home in a community where most large homes do not cost more than $300,000. Darrell Scott has skipped out on the lease and the house owner is now suing Darrell Scott for the non-payment on the 14,000 foot home with a 500 foot bedroom, 5 walk in closets and 8 fireplaces.

Scott vacated the home and ignored the lease allowing the church to be sued for extensive damages. The price tag of the lawsuit is a huge $563,000 thousand dollars from damages and back payments owed. With the reduced numbers at his church daycare and congregation abandoning him due to his obsessive loyalty to Donald J.Trump, he has accumulated massive debt. But he is not alone many of the other so called Pastors that sat at the table with Donald J.Trump have massive debts, scandals and controversy.

The dangerous thing no one anticipates is that people will not do their research. Many people will see the photo op with Trump and get the false impression that he has a positive agenda for the black community. Also, consider that if I can research and find out the scandals of these pastors then we all need you to realize Trump and his people likely knew exactly who to call and use as a pawn. Make no mistake Darrell Scott is a prime example of everything wrong with many of the people of color that support Trump. They are more concerned with financial opportunity than common human decency. Don’t ever take these photo ops at face value.

Remember we are all in this together. 1Struggle, 1Community, 1LUV
