Black Liberty University Alums Call On Falwell To Step Down After Blackface Tweet | Talking Points Memo

And basketball

But it’s okay, jinnj, because if Jesus was known for anything it was how spiteful, vindictive, and childish he was.

Can’t help noticing that Junior is making a very hefty profit off of his racist masks.

Oh how adorable. “Black Liberty University Alums” think that their opinion matters.

Even the good alums (you know, the white ones) don’t matter once the check clears. And the black ones matter even less to the likes of Falwell.

[spencersmom]

I suspect it has more to do with needing to present a not-for-whites-only school so that they can rake in students’ Pell grants and federal student loans.

[ghost]

Football players?

That’s what it looks like:

“In a letter to Falwell, shared with The Associated Press, 35 faith leaders and former student-athletes told Falwell that his past comments …”

[mattinpa]

It’s like the Falwells and the Huckabees have a multigenerational feud going on to see which are the most disagreeable and neighbor-hating ostensible Christians possible.

[icarrion]

As a “Christian” university, shouldn’t LU be lead by a Christian?

And in case Little Lord Flauntapoolboy is wondering what Jesus thinks of him…

[josephebacon]

So when is somebody going to market a mask with Jerry and his Pool Boy Stud?

The Board of Directors at Liberty, who actually care about the institution and not the profits, have had more than enough material to rid themselves of this spoiled brat of a fraud.

The Liberty University Board of TRUSTEES Board of Trustees | Liberty University reads like a snakepit of white privilege and incestuous institutional power. So no; people who care about having the University grow into a 21st century center of faith, truth, reason and service to humanity should certainly not look to them for change in that direction.

[uneducated]

How dare anyone demand God’s choice to step down?

O but he’s always bragging to the other administrators at Liberty about his incredible sexual exploits with his wife.

Think perhaps he talks too much because he ain’t doing shit with her? I do.

@Clint_M

I am somehow reminded of the fable of the old woman and the snake.

Hey, you knew he was a snake when you signed on, how are you surprised now?

Beware, that story was a canard the Trump used in his last campaign for president.

[formerChild]

Also, comparing yourself to Jesus is the height of arrogance. Is Falwell saying he too is a prophet? (profit, maybe)

[jackofalltirades]

Well played, sir. Well played.

[dangoodbar]

Exactly.

When the leader of a “Christian” University and the leader of the “Values voter summit” that will endorse Donald Trump is a swinger, pays handsome men handsomely to do his wife well he watches, it just proves that “values” in front of the word voter is and has always been code for race.

There’s all sort of stuff in the Book of Matthew that Mr Falwell seems to have missed, including a pretty spot on accounting of what to look for in folks misrepresenting the word of Christ.

Does watching count as shit?

Yes. A fun argument to craft would be that Falwell himself disproves the existence of God.

Meanwhile, even a dedicated old Satanist such as myself knows more about Scripture than Falwell does.
