Why do White Christians Vote Republican, and Black Christians Vote Democrat?

- An overwhelming majority of WHITE Christians vote Republican. And an overwhelming majority of BLACK Christians vote Democrat. Why is that? Don't they read the same Bible and pray to the same God? Which group doesn't know they're voting for the wrong party?? Phil Vischer takes us on a fast-paced trip through history to figure out why different American Christians read the same Bible, pray to the same God, and vote very, very differently.
As a Black Protestant, I'm proud to say that I approve this message. Also, this history lesson shows that Black people are not loyal to the Democratic or Republican party, but they are loyal to the party that is the most progressive in racial equality and justice.
You mean the party that "claims" to be those things.
That would be the Republican Party who do not support abortion or gay marriage which by the way is a sin against God. If you vote for a democrat who believes in murder of innocent babies in the womb and promoting gay marriage(read Romans 1 ) then you are not a Christian. A Christian doesn’t vote for things that God hates.
@@ibealion1 Also the party that is not trying to put your son in a dress. The same party that encourages family, rather than object to the black man presiding over his family, children and community.
@@ceciliaramos2280 Clearly you want a theocracy then since your only argument that abortion is wrong is if a fetus has a soul. Souls are a purely theistic or at least deistic idea so not based in scientific reason. Separation between church and state is the only viable option for stopping tyrannical structures from growing. I think you should look into the history of when Christians controlled governments in the Middle Ages and what was done it is pretty horrifying.
@@swellson8133 I agree. If one thinks hard enough about it, freedom of religion cannot exist without separation of church and state. In a theocracy, there would only be one free religion left. Even if that would be Christianity, what flavor of Christianity would that be? Groups like the puritan pilgrims and the quakers wanted to find life away from the Church of England. Side note is that if there would be a "Christian" theocracy tomorrow, it would unfortunately likely be on the false doctrine of the prosperity gospel since that seems like the group that has the most political power right now.
You explained that well. I’m a Black Christian, so I will tend to vote for the person who is less likely to return America to the ‘Good ole days’ where folks my color were hanging from trees.
Exactly 💯!
Yup. First things first.
@@kristengeorge6289 hey, you really need to get over your Dad dumping you. It’s ok to move on.
@@ILLGCF Huh? What did you do-hack the account of the guy who originally commented?
You trolls crack me up. My parents have been married for 46 years. And even if I had no clue who my father, or mother is, for that matter-your comment shows quite clearly that you vibrate on a pitifully low wavelength to which I can’t be bothered to descend. Good day.
@@kristengeorge6289 first thing should be what Christ said, "Unless a man deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me he Cannot be my disciple"
"Having the right to hear a Christian prayer in your local public school, doesn't mean much if you're not allowed to attend your local public school."
🙌🙌🙌
That part!!!
Umm except that the civil rights act ( mostly a republican effort ) dealt with that LONG ago and prayer in school is a CURRENT issue. Very dishonest of Phil.
@@paultrosclair1775 That’s not the only thing he’s being dishonest about.
@@paultrosclair1775 this is not dishonesty. Segregation of schools still exists. Like today.
I am a Black Christian and I approve this message. ✅
If the President is only allowed to serve two terms why are other politicians allowed to control the government for a lifetime?
That is unfortunate. I'm so in favor of term limits. Career politicians would treat the American people differently if they were rejoining them in 8 years. But that will only happen if they impose it on themselves. I won't hold my breath. But that would keep them from doing stuff like passing Obamacare for us, but it not affecting their own separate health coverage.
That's a good question. They should have term limits.
Republican want terms limit until they got in control then they voted it's down
We need to change that!!!
1. House Representatives serve 2-year terms.
2. A single politician cannot even come close controlling the entire government, not even if they serve many terms.
3. They are elected by the citizens from their states. So if they please their voters, they get reelected. Even if every other state disagrees with why they are being voted for.
Strom Thurmond being reelected over and over simply reflects a racist voter base coming from South Carolina. It's wrong, but it's what SC wanted. And he didn't control the government - all the racial equality measures were passed even with him voting against them.
Strom Thurmond is one of the sole reasons why term limits in congress should be imposed
Strom Thurman
And a huge hypocrite.
I’d rather have an age limit. Once you’re past retiring age, you can’t run for office again.
@@Enndorii put a cap on like 75. There are decent early 70 year olds in office. But their main problem is being there for 20 + years, not their age.
Many of them should be forced to retired at 59.5 because most people in the Congress are millionaires. .
I'm 68 , white and female. I've been part of an evangelical church since I was 1 week old. I vote Democrat. I helped Arizona turn blue .
You voted for the party of transgenderism and abortion
Is this supposed to be surprising? Females vote Democrat.
Correction, you're a heretic
Thank you
Me too, I'm a white conservative evangelical voting Democrat.. And the church leaders try to pressure us to vote for Tr#+p
I don't know how any sociologist, political scientist, philosopher, historian, theologist, psychologist, or the most learned individual of all these fields combined could have defined or explained this any better! Bravo, Sir! A very brilliant analysis!
"When white Christians look at the Supreme Court for example, they see the reason abortion is legal and school prayer isn't. But when black Christians look at the Supreme Court, they see the reason they can vote and pursue housing and employment without blatant discrimination. That difference in perspective has a huge impact on whether you see the federal government as part of the problem or part of the solution." Best video I've watched all month.

That's what infuriates me the most about far right wingers. Many of them refuse to own up to it, and deflect their prejudices into the left when it's BOTH sides?
@@robertheintze9413 its literally revisionist history, you can cry and deny all you want. Facts are facts.
All Christians should watch this video. Cause I’m tired of hearing no “real” Christian would vote one way or the other.
I'm tired of it too!
Some Christians seem to idolize Trump, in reality, no President can save you. Please know that no matter what happens God is still in control no matter who is in the White House. I hope you have enough accountability for your own life and not relying on anyone to save you; including Trump. Not Trump or Biden, but JESUS 2020!!! The level of partisanship in the church is ridiculous, we are not of this world! God is not a Republican or Democrat. Be careful you don't prophesy out of your own preference.
I don’t think this video had anything to do with real Christians but the history of hypocrisy in America, the lamb like beast (Christianity) that speaks like a dragon (evil laws). He concluded by stating both parties are false and far off from the standards of God such as love the Lord and your neighbor. Hold fast to what is true while moving from glory to glory.
@DJO your history is wrong. By the time Rome fell it had been a Christian nation for a long time and hadn't persecuted Christians in ages.
@DJO pagan rome did not crumble it switched to a state religion and did quite well for a while before collapsing. Well unless your idea of falling and crumbling is a switch in ideology not standards of living, economy or infrastructure.
Honestly never watched educational Christian content this crisp -fantastic work.
Wow, as an African American man, I am thankful my first and true identity is as a child of God. However, the lord created me to be the race I am. This is important because it allows me to live out my purpose. This video reminds me I can not forget who I go to for discernment and wisdom. It is the Lord! He is not republican or Democrat. Even though I do vote for one of the parties, my identity is not wrapped up in it. I pray that we ( white, black, and brown Christians) can take a stand TOGETHER!! That would be the force of unity this country would not be able to ignore. We are all made in His image.
Great job, Phil!
Well said. It goes don't to identity. Where is our true identity rooted it?

This video did more American history in 15 minutes than all the history books and shows I've watched in my entire life.
My point exactly! I got to see what my kids were learning and it was not this for a whole quarter of school.
Rather than praise for the channel its more an indictment of the education system. Since I studied US history for about a year outside of the US and it covered most of these topics. I take it not even the northern states go in depth on topics like the black panthers or southern strategy etc before university?
@@YouboremenowI agree. I'm a social studies teacher. I wish this was on the curriculum, making these connections, but it's not because the powers that create the curriculum don't want these connections made. I had to take history college classes for this knowledge. I have a history degree.
100%!
Im sitting here suddenly informed and interested. We really do need to.fix our schools. Ive been in private school since 3rd grade and I didnt have a grasp on this facts.

Enjoyed this presentation very much. The hypocrisy of Strom Thurmond being “outed” for having a half-black daughter by one of his family’s black maids cannot be left unmentioned.

It’s clear to me…I’m voting democrat so I never have to live in a project 2025 nightmare !!
And this is why as a black Christian, I'm so torn between this two-party system. I care about the lives of the unborn and the sanctity of marriage and God in our schools as much as the next Christian. But I also care about criminal justice and prison reform and civil rights for those who not only look like myself. Anyway, awesome video.
I feel you
You should only care about policies with God's word aligned to it because with God all things are possible...God fights for his children.. you need only God's favour to make it in this LIFE.
@@spicymami6468 And that's the problem. Both sides advocate for things that align with God's Word, as well as oppose things that align the Word.
Stephen Pamphile Trump is pro life and against abortion. He also did prison reform. He is the best President for America. But what did the Christian black do? They voted for the witch Hillary Clinton or Jezebel.
@@thinkcat01 And he's also the most deplorable show of character we've seen in the White House, and mishandled a pandemic that cost us 200k+ lives and counting. I didn't vote for Clinton, but it doesn't matter because anyway because she wasn't elected president. So your point is nonexistent.
I am a 68 year old black man. I am a Christian and a conservative. I found this clip to open my eyes to a lot of things that I took for granted and formed negative thoughts. I now view them differently. Thank you.
How bout Catholics in Massachusetts
Or New York or apparently Catholics are not a thing in this country
Look up the origin story of Sargon the Great. They brainwashed us with toxic lies as children. Took me 40 years to escape. Hope you do too.
Sad right
@williamseymour2509 given that at the time of writing you said you're 68 this makes a lot of sense.
I grew up in Atlanta a predominantly Black (at the time) major city, I took AP US history, I attended several HBCUs (historically Black black college or university), and I took collegiate African American history classes. Most of this information is common knowledge to me, but by comparison my environment, and education is very uncommon.
If you don't mind could you elaborate on what information gave you a different perspective? How did your perspective change
It’s sad that as a black man what I see in the rear view mirror is nearly identical to what I see through the windshield.
Yes... except that the racists hide behind things like welfare and foodstamps and the "right" to murder as many of your own babies as you want to keep you down now instead of segregation laws. (Interesting side note: the democrats are still against school choice, like they always have been, so that hasn't changed as much as Phil Vischer may be inclined to think.) They want you to think they're trying to make you free while they're really trying to keep you enslaved. But thankfully folks like Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum are starting to express this problem more clearly.
@@ibealion1 or they hide in plain sight behind a president who emboldens white supremacist on a national stage, call Mexican immigrants rapist and murderers, and actively tried to suppress votes in areas populated by African Americans. Or they support a police culture and a “law and order” message that exercises police brutality on black and brown communities. I could go on but that will suffice
@@romelljeremiah I provided you with specific racist policies that are foundational to the democratic party and you provided me with rhetoric from the democratic party about Donald Trump. If it were true, then his policies would have been as racist as the democrats and they didn't come close. You will never find me defending Donald Trump. The man is rude and unkind. But you will never find me voting democrat either for the reasons given in my previous comment. I could end with... they want to kill as many black babies as possible. There really is nothing... even if all of your accusations are true, that comes close to that one fundamental democratic party platform policy.
@Mrs. Jackson I'm not the one that made the connection. The founder of planned parenthood, Maragret Senger created the modern uegenics movement specifically for the purpose of control of people with black skin in the United States. Just because you, a black woman, have bought into the lie from Satan that you're better off with dead children, doesn't mean that the act has somehow become noble. And I'm well aware thag plenty of white women and plenty of latino women and plenty of other women have bought this lie too. But it doesn't change the fact that the abortion industry in the United Stated was designed for and still targets black people more than any other group.
@Mrs. Jackson Oh... I'm not really expecting to change anyone's opinions. Have you ever seen anyone change their opinion through a RUclips comment exchange? It's hard enough for people to think critically and honestly period, and conversing remotely, the chances of that happening are even less.
I can't believe I just subscribed to a channel called "Holy Post". I'm an atheist. I think religion is complete nonsense. But, I just watched two outstanding, insightful, educational videos here, so... I want more. Great content!
I also just subscribed. I am also recently became an atheist.
That depend on how you see religion and how you comprehend what you read. Its history and what you take from someone view on history or your on view on history. [Just to ask a question. If you see a hawk getting drown by a duck for trying to eat the ducks child do you help the hawk? Is it law of the jungle and just watch? Could you stay just to watch?] That's how I see what religion provides a conscious mind even if some of these religions are bias/tainted/amended/blemished it makes you seek knowledge and have a opinion. (just my view I haven't been to church in years that a hold different view I would have.)
I’m not gonna lie I thought this was gonna be a conservative takedown of liberalism and black people but this was surprisingly unbiased and educational. Very much worth my time
Hopefully it'll trap some people into learning.
There’s no conservative takedown of liberalism and black people. They like to say that black people are ‘enslaved’ on a ‘Democrat plantation’ but they’ve never given a single good reason why a person with black skin should vote for them. It’s a free market for all, they’re free to fight for black votes just as democrats are. Yet they never try, but they will complain till kingdom come about black people not voting for them.
All they’d really have to do is acknowledge systemic racism and take steps to combat it. But we all know that doing so would mean that they’d instantaneously lose a sizeable percentage of their voters.
My advice to conservatives; stop whining about black Americans not voting for when the foundation of your platform is inherently anti-black.

Can we just talk about the misconception that you can't pray in school: student & staff can pray in school (having went to school in the south I witnessed this) just staff *government* officials can't force or lead prayers in school
Admitting that doesn't support their narrative about liberals trying to erase Christianity
@@MichaelTheophilus906 yes they can. anyone can pray in school at any time. what is illegal to do according to the constitution, is have a teacher or staff member (government employee) LEAD the students in prayer.
@@nonir670 Its not hard to erase that fake ass Jesus u guys worship.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 yes, michael. even where you live. i know christians favorite game to play is the “i’m being oppressed!” card, but even where you live, christians, muslims, wiccans, buddhists-they are all allowed to sit quietly and bow their heads and say a prayer. no one can stop a student from doing that, or a person from doing that, anywhere. prayer is not a big ceremony that many people have to be involved in. it’s a personal moment that any person can do at any time. until we get actual thought police like 1984, no one can be stopped from praying anywhere.
We had a 'moment of silence' after the pledge (It was well known so students that want to pray can do so). I'm talking still into the early 2000s. This is in the South.
So yes, Christians have found a way to force prayer in public schools. And they wouldn't allow the students that wanted to sit down to sit. We were forced to stand in silence for the few that were quietly praying.
I was a Poli Sci major in college, and you explained this so much better than any of my professors.
its almost like you specialize in teaching children complex concepts... lately all us adults are functioning at about a 3rd grade level... this is really making sense in a way I can remember and explain to others. Thanks man! - also dang -> "Having the right to hear a Christian prayer in your local public school, doesn't mean much if you're not allowed to attend your local public school."
And us black folks acting like we were not taught our real history. First of all this too much info for anybody k-12 to understand. I’m content with what I learned in grade school. We would have never comprehend any of this but thanks bro pretty informative. 🙂

Even now, it's REALLY very hard to listen to our country's history. So, if it's hard for me, it has to be brutal for others! But I'm so thankful AND encouraged that we're trying to get understanding on our complicated relationship. Maybe one day, Sunday morning won't be the most segregated time of the week?

If you’re feeling bitter about past injustices done to you, consider counseling. It’s hard work, but a good Christian counselor can help you to let go and perhaps consider other perspectives along the way. 💗 Don’t project your feelings of bitterness onto others, though. The analogy of keeping the past in our “rearview mirror” implies we are still moving forward. It does not imply bitterness.

Because he revals the inconvenient truth, that white Americans have no interest to give more rights or income to blacks. I'm sorry to say but America is partly founded on racism, and keeping it that way, in the interest of those in power.
This was definitely informative and well explained. As a Black American who identifies as Christian, I am an unaffiliated voter. Issues and character mean more to me than party affiliation, because one party often espouses policies that clearly do not benefit my community and the other party has often taken people like me for granted.
@Don't be evil, Google said because you can’t judge the truth of a religion based on the poor actions of its followers. Not to mention the black church and Christian abolitionists played a huge role in the ending of slavery and Jim Crow. Now if you’re asking how a black person can be specifically a Southern Baptist that’s a different story, because they were defenders of slavery
@Don't be evil, Google said Secular philosophers were all well known Eurocentric supremacists and racists, so don't try that one-sided ideology crap. Theologians and secularists both endorse and frequently stood by racist rhetoric for thousands of years.

Highly informative & gave me perspective on American politics through history. Thanks!
This guys insight is absolutely amazing. My kids know him for the Veggie Tales cartoons , but I really admire how he is trying to reach out to White people to give them some insight into why African-Americans think and feel the way they do. He is trying to educate and reconcile people. RESPECT!

@Matt Vanderford God’s people in the Bible engaged in corporate lament and repentance for systemic and generational sins. The idea that sin is only defined as an individual issue is uniquely American.
@Matt Vanderford I’m not saying individual sin isn’t biblical - it most definitely is. No question.
I’m saying that the idea that it’s appropriate for a society to lament and repent together for the sinful things done within that cultural framework is also biblical - yet not emphasized within the White US American church. You hear a lot of, “Well my family and I never did that.” Maybe not, but if you call yourself an American then you have to accept the good and the bad. I take pride in the good that “we” have done as a nation. That’s part of what it means to have membership in a group. But group membership also means I am there for the ugly things, too. I accept that “we” have sinned, must lament the evil done, repent, and try to make it right. The systemic sins are glossed over in the White American church, and that is what’s culturally unique.
@Matt Vanderford - Hm. Well I agree that revival and restitution for national wrongs should go hand-in-hand, but I’ve personally never been to a revival where we’ve call for a national effort to right the wrongs committed by our country. Personal sin requires a change of heart and the work of the Holy Spirit in an individual’s life. Holy people can still exist in sinful systems, though, and even benefit from them. Systemic problems call for policy changes, not just renewal of the heart. We live in a country that we govern - that’s a blessing and a huge responsibility. We are not just subject to the whims of a monarch. We can change laws and systems that are unjust or cause injustice. If we know the good we ought to do and don’t try to make it happen, that’s sin. Over the past six months, White congregations have been more vocal about social and racial injustice, but whether we will make a meaningful difference in our country in the name of Jesus on this front remains to be seen.
Moral of the story. We should have never created political parties.
Though, crooked politicians and dodgy agendas will always be a part of society. Maybe part of our problem is that "First-Past-The-Post" voting will inevitably end in a perpetually polarizing two-party system. ruclips.net/p/PLNCHVwtpeBY4mybPkHEnRxSOb7FQ2vF9c
Parties are a natural consequence of people organizing themselves. The system decides what kind of parties are made, which @@DavidGossettMusic points out correctly.
George Washington warned us about political parties in his farewell address.
Moral of the story: man is sinful. All men. All conservatives and all progressives look out for their own interests rather than the interests of their brothers and sisters. We dont love our family members, let alone our neighbors. We are sinning when we think ourselves better than our neighbor. Man has been pointing fingers and placing blame instead of obeying God since the garden.
exactly. political parties is the illusion of freedom of choice. Who wants to pick from the lesser of two evils
Wish I could upvote this more than once. What a message of understanding. Thank you, Phil, for helping us understand each other without making everyone feel bad.
Racists should feel bad. They're bad and the things they stand for are bad. The things they have done to black people are bad!!
Both Parties are evil.
WOW, thank you so much for this. I've had many conversations and debates with conservative Christians about the 2 political parties and how they swapped sides. Of course, the Conservatives do not want to hear that kind of talk. They want to maintain the idea that "they", as Conservatives, ended slavery, while also holding onto the values they love about Conservatism which denies blacks freedom of choice in voting, where to live, where to go to school, and why the justice system should focus on blacks more. I will be saving this and sharing.
One thing you did not mention, that I believe is important, is the fact that not only did blacks not choose to join the Democratic party, they were actually banned from the party until the mid 1920s.
BOOM!!!
Mic 🎤 drop!
Outstanding!
Should be required for every American Christian!
100000%
Unfortunately, this video is very deceptive.
Can someone please explain why the South seems to have a claim of Christianity that I don't see in their history?
Because most people pick and choose what parts of the Bible they want to uphold when we should uphold All of God's Word, His gospel, His justice, & His morality!!!
What do you mean by claim?
They used some passages in the Bible to justify slavery and pretended a lot. They also passed laws that didn't charge killers of black slaves with murder if the slave died under the whip in a disciplinary action. Ming China was more progressive (killing a slave was murder). The South had no public education. Even in 1950s South Carolina until the Johnson era civil rights acts, women and blacks could not serve on juries.
It's Jesus washing, kinda like Green washing at some resorts.
Amen
What do you mean by claim Christianity? Sometimes we run into issues in our understanding because we start with a wrong premise, so what are you asking?
I don’t how I came across this post. But I’m grateful I did. Excellent information about voting and the parties. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you, Phil, for creating this thoughtful look at how history has affected our present situation. We tend to look at the political situation as if this is just what is and has always been. I believe that people of faith need to be people who think deeply about faith. This video helps us to move away from bumper-sticker faith into real faithful thoughtfulness.
Why I picked you? I don't know. I was looking for some answers and comments on a video about what is eternal life. I am very upset and feeling confused and looking for some answers from the bible and especially from Christians. My cousin has excepted Christ into his life and so have I. I am a Democrat and he is a Republican. He has no empathy for black people as a whole growing up in Detroit. He has no problem with hating or should I say feeling repugnant of all Democrats also! We have both excepted Christ into our lives. Okay, now trying to understand the hate that so many republicans have for people from different parties because it stuns me. I pray for this world, my friends, family, this country, those that are suffering around the world, and I am at an impasse as he is not. Are Christians supposed to hate? If eternal life and Salvation are not the same things, could someone explain 1st John 3:15? 1st John 3:15 says if you hate you are a murderer and shall not have eternal life, so do you still have salvation? Didn't Christ want us to have a love for those who were suffering? What about injustice, poverty, the broken-hearted? Yes, everything is in God's hands and I should not be afraid or have fear in my heart for the Lord has his plan in the second coming and it may soon come and solve all this. (Nothing to concern yourself with). I do not believe the Lord wants me to sit back and not try to keep this Democracy intact. Is it only the rich Christians that have all this corruption in this leader that they feel is so strong about, are they right? Or is it really about money and power? Truth and hypocrisy in the same breath? What on earth is going on? I am looking for other views on this. We are at a very critical place and I worry for the souls of this planet and his frankly. Actually, I fear that the real truth not being understood by white Christians and that they have labeled things in their minds and so, therefore, have no need to evaluate it further. YOU THINK? .11/12/2020
Actually, this video helps to further divide people with deceptions. It's unfortunate that Phil didn't use this platform to tell the truth and help to unite people instead.
@@krissteele7960 It seems that you have been believing the lies of the leftist media. Most Republicans don't hate anyone, but welcome people to join them. I have found much more hatred toward people in the Democrat party if anyone has an opinion different than theirs. I have found Republicans to be much more accepting of people with differing views and perspectives. It is not "rich Christians" that are corrupt, but rather people who pretend to be Christian, but support policies and politicians who are corrupt and their actions negatively affect hard working Americans. When you consider who the CEO's of large corporations support, who big tech supports and who the Wall Street bankers support, it becomes obvious that the Democrat party is the party of the rich, the elitist and not the party of hard working Americans. In fact, biden chose prominent people from large corporations, big tech and Wall Street banks to be in key positions in his administrations. They most surely will not have the best interest of hard working Americans, including black Americans, in mind when they impose more restrictions on American society. The Democrat party is not a party that cares about Christian values or freedoms.
@@lg9388 You seem to have an idea that the Republicans are for the working people? Gee, you must be all confused about who is who and what the hell is actually happening in this country? How can you say what you say? The most obvious corruption is in the rich Republicans who try so hard to flip the "witch" on to the Democrats! Do you have a curious mind and look more deeply at things or not? You would see that you need to open your mind to reality! God is so so so good to me and I understand that he is a gracious lord and his kindness to me is ever abounding for insights into his word. It is not about how you control people.( If I hit "Return do I send my message or a new paragraph?) Anyway, God loves us all, and even if this country is exactly cut in half....Half is still my home too! Do I need to be excluded from my country's direction because the I am not a Republican? Do the Republicans even hear the hearts stopping and breaking every day? Review in your mind's eye a list of pro's and con's of each party and the truth is evident. The difficulty in this perplexing time is great and hard for each of us right now. (You Have no Idea for ME!) I don't want to toss out any ideas you would have but want to analyze my thinking too, if I am the wrong one here. Thanks for responding! God Bless this message and you
@@krissteele7960 Hi. Thank you for your comment. I find it helpful to think of it as two similar things that are both called Christianity. One is a religion based on the teachings of the New Testament. The other is the act of truly following the Jesus who is revealed in the New Testament. The first has always led to division and suspicion. The second leads to a life of humility, service, love, hope, and yes sometimes hardship. And it's easy to confuse the two.
I am black and both left and right wing belong to the same bird 🐦. I do differentiate good people from bad people, but that is with the help of the Holy Spirit.
That's an amazing way to put it!
You haven't seen Republican base. You live in the bubble of your mom's basement. Republican base have good people except racism and fascism.
What does the Holy Spirit’s good people meter has to say about Biden and Trump??!
What does the Holy Spirit’s good people meter has to say about Biden and Trump??!
It is not that simple. One party wants to do away with Social Security. One party wants to eliminate unions. One party wants to repeal the Minimum Wage law. One party wants states to be free to discriminate against Black people. Guess which one that is? As of now, not 1965.
Thank you God! Finally somebody who's white breaks down this information for all of these political ignoramuses!!💯
History shows that LIBERAL really means LIBERATED from white supremacist CHRISTIANITY ideology
@@rogermartin798
Liberalism sucks. Go progressive with socialist qualities.
@DAVID god probably wanted them to have an ironic downfall after seeing they were homophobic
@DAVID 💯!!!!
It's not really about black vs white.
The real colors it is about is blue and red.
Blue is for Democrats and Red is for Republicans. The blue
democrats are always being prevented from helping people.
There is a reason the parties chose these colors to represent them.
Blue angels vs Red devils. During the civil war the Blue coats won.
Through-out history and in all cultures blue is for God and the good,
while the color red is used to represent the Devil and everything evil.
Red is for hate and for war - Redrum is murder spelled backwards.
Blue is for the truth, splendor and beauty. Blue States are better for
communal life. Red States are hell holes of suppression and racism.
Blue is for deeper thought and peace. Red is for rage and rebellion.
the blue democrat party is "for" everything - and is positive - while
the red republican party is only against everything - and is negative.
The red party is full of hate and racism and lies. The true blue party
is smeared by them as liars and satan whorshipers. But that's what
their all about - they are a corrupt party. They lie when the speak.
Obama was 99% correct when he said you could keep your doctor.
But they say he was a liar because there was a 1% discrepancy. But
when they are 1% correct about anything - they say they told the truth.
In the Revolutionary war we wore Blue coats & we killed the Red coats.
Jesus was a Democrat Rabbi and they wore blue. He was for the poor.
The Romans wore red and built the colliseum from the spoils of their
sacking the temple in Jeruslem. There - they expressed their hate for
many years to come - killing the christians in their blood red games.
Hobby Lobby are evil schills for the right winger's hate and lies.
Blue is the color of God and his moral law Luke 9:35; Rom. 1:4.
This was so well done! Thank you for speaking up for the truth of what people have experienced. It’s so helpful to have these thoughts clearly illustrated, so maybe there is better understanding. Praying for good change.
Man....you NAILED it! I'm a 50 yr old black guy that doesn't necessarily profess to be deeply religious nowadays but was raised Baptist in Mississippi. That said, the way you broke down history and conveyed the current perspective of black folk using past and recent history as the backdrop explains not only explains quite a bit about political differences between white and black religious groups, but basic differences between blacks and some (many?) whites about the country as a whole as it pertains to so-called patriotism. Until the country reconciles and seeks to repair past AND CURRENT attitudes about systemic racism and equality (economically and otherwise) we are doomed to repeat it over and over and get progressively worse uprisings each time. We will never go backwards. Things must and will change. Thank you for the history lesson.
Mississippi raised Baptist and I wholeheartedly agree.
Disagree. it is not possible to "repair the past". You will only add more and more racism to the discussion, as current events are proving. At some point you have to get beyond the race thing. I had hope in Obama when he used the term "post -racial" but his later statements and attitudes were a disappointment.
The narrative of the "the party switch because Republicans embraced racists" is extremely misleading. PragerU debunks this: ruclips.net/video/UiprVX4os2Y/видео.html. The South didn't vote solidly for Republicans until the 80s and 90s, a full 20 to 30 years after the Civil Rights act that Phil says made Southern Democrats switch
@@josh_final Okay. Republicans freed the slaves and were generally against Confederate legacy. Remind me again which group of people love monuments to the confederacy and love flying the rebel flag? But no, the Shift is a myth.. Like racism. Racism also doesn't exist. We are making all this up.
Systemic racism implies that racism is regulated by law, which it isn't. All the laws that upheld racism have been repealed. Yes there are plenty of people who are still racist, and many blacks, not just whites, but that does not make it systemic. It's a lie preached by the left and anyone who doesn't bother to think it over, parrots it.
Damn, if they only taught this in public and private middle and high schools in America we might not be so stupid
It is taught, as well as the southern strategy. Students dont all listen and thus people are still stupid.
@@EpicAsshole It was never taught deeply enough in my school and I was a straight-A student. I go to school in the south and they don't talk about it enough which leads to people in the south believing the switch is fake and didn't happen.
@@justiceorrand6076 You've put your chicken before the egg. You think that it not being taught enough is what caused people in the south to not believe the switch is fake and didnt happen, when the fact of the matter is that it is people in the south believing that the switch is fake and didn't happen which caused it to not be taught.
It's one of the negative consequences of leaving schooling up to the states; it results in curriculum incorporating local beliefs (as the school board is generally one of the primary forces responsible for developing curricula).
@@EpicAsshole I was just saying at my school I know that the curriculum doesn't include talk about the party switch and that is obviously related to the belief that it was fake. The order doesn't matter as much because the only way the problem is going to be solved is if the curriculum changes. We most can't change the minds of the people who already believe the party switch is fake, but we can change the education system to where future generations stray from this false idea.
@@justiceorrand6076 The order does matter; the school's curriculum is chosen by the school board/admin who are voted on by the citizens of the area. Therefore, the curriculum will reflect the beliefs of the area, not the other way around. That's why so many districts have abstinence only sex-ed.
"Sorta" threw them under the bus. That's like a little bit pregnant.

Because Black Christians actually read the bible:
“He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.” Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10
Other way round most rappers identify as Christians. But does that mean they follow the teaching of Christ.

Why Do Black and White Christians go to different churches, if they are both Christians?
Black people werent allowed in white churches. So they built their own. And then you tend to go to the same church that your previous family members attended so its a cycle. But there are plenty of churches that are multiracial. Personally i prefer black churches because the music is better and theres more personality.
"Things that are different are not the same." Just saying you're a Christian does not make you a Christian. A Christian is someone who follows the examples of Jesus.
Because segregation is ingrained in American Christianity. Sundays are acceptable days of segregation
I'd say it's partly because people tend to worship in cultural conformity. But I'm personally with Tony Evans, when he says that the Bible's teaching should always trump (precede) our culture. If our cultural traditions contradict the Word of God, then we need to leave them behind.
I attended a purposefully racially-integrated church for twenty years. They were a non-denominational, charismatic-leaning congregation; the pastor and his family were multiracial (black and Asian), but they were about as conservative as they come. The racial makeup of the congregation closely mirrored the percentage of blacks and whites living in the community (i.e., it wasn't half-and-half; but neither is the general population).
But unfortunately they sent their daughters off to one of those progressive CINO colleges (Meredith); and that, I think is where things started to go wrong. :\
@@ThatClassic70sGirl Well we have over 400 years of evidence that segregation on Sundays is the norm. Yeah there are exceptions to every rule. American christianity for the most part has contradicted with word of God for decades. Instead of looking inward they will continue to blame everyone else
🎉This was an EXCELLENT presentation🎉
Neither party is of God. Be delivered and focus on the mission. Go, and compel, to come. Change politics from the outside not the inside blessings.
Some Christians seem to idolize Trump, in reality, no President can save you. Please know that no matter what happens God is still in control no matter who is in the White House. I hope you have enough accountability for your own life and not relying on anyone to save you; including Trump. Not Trump or Biden, but JESUS 2020!!! The level of partisanship in the church is ridiculous, we are not of this world! God is not a Republican or Democrat. Be careful you don't prophesy out of your own preference.
Me thinks you missed what the video was saying.

This was such an excellent video. I have often lamented the two party system in the US which makes almost no allowance for people who have have both conservative and progressive views. We are often forced to choose extremes on both sides, which I think is not what God calls us to do. Having more political choice would help to alleviate the problem, I believe.
nothing wrong with two party system, the problem is the inability to compromise. Governance should be all about compromise, because as you say, somewhere in the middle is where everyone sits. And, btw, its time to separate "what God says" from your voting. You (nobody) have no idea what God actually says, so I don't want your religion anywhere near the policies I have to live with. And that's democracy. God doesn't "call us" to vote, the secular constitution does.
There are more choices.
@@jatmas11
Technically yes, but as long as we have "first past the post" voting it only makes sense for people to vote strategically for a party they think is likely to win, until the voting power inevitably collects between two competing parties.
The solution is to have "Open Primaries", like in New Hampshire.
This problem has shot from being a peripheral issue to urgent since the Trump era began in 2016.

This video is so relevant and very necessary. As a Christian African American woman, I find one of the hardest things to do is vote. I have to pray that God leads and guides me in every election, always remembering my faith is more important than my race. Sometimes, I don’t think our Caucasian brothers and sisters understand how difficult it is to vote Republican when you are African American. It really is a trust issue. We want so badly to trust Republicans but history constantly screams “Don’t do it. They will betray you or worse. They will kill you and your children.” Personally, God has led me to vote Republican in this year’s election. I pray that God will touch the hearts of all our brothers and sisters in Christ who do not share our same experiences and history. I pray they will have compassion, be honest and unbiased, remembering that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female. I also pray my fellow African American brothers and sisters will forgive and true racial reconciliation and healing will take place within the body of Christ in The United States. We (Christians) are all one in Christ.
This leader and administration does not reflect the fruit of the Spirit.
Neither party does. However, I believe they are the lesser of two evils. The Republican Party’s policies are more in line with my beliefs and values. I respect your views and your right to vote for who you think is best.
Beloved
We shouldn't put trust in any political party of this world.
We are not to be friends with this world as Believers (James 4:4)

@@theclariontube Which policies? They aren't pro-life, or they wouldn't abandon all support after the baby is born, or they wouldn't try to cut social welfare in favor of giving tax cuts to the rich.

This is the best explanation I’ve heard thus far. I began studying the “why” behind this question recently. Thank you for sharing this.
this White brother explained Black Christian theology so deeply in just a few miniutes. bravo.
But how do they really say that they are christian. They are not loving this neighbor, no the keep their neighbors children in cages and cart them off to who knows where. That's not christian when you can blow up churches and set crosses on fire🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ also it was after church that they had picnics or the long version pic a nicca to hang, and watch it with thier families. You are exactly right when you say two gods.
There’s Carnal Christians(who labeled themselves Christians and without the Holy Spirit) And there are BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS who are filled and Baptized By The Holy Spirit, who walk not after the flash But the Spirit.
KM P That is not true and a very racist thing to say towards white Christians. White Christians don’t believe in burning black churches and supporting racism and white supremacy. White Christians haven’t twisted the Bible or Christianity. It’s the democrats that have twisted the Bible and Christianity
Who built the cages? Oh yeah that was Obama. When Trump became aware of what was happening down at the border he put those children in hotel suites. Picnic it does not mean what you think it means is derived from a French word you might want to look up the history of that instead of believing a lie, The only ones that burn crosses are the Democrat KKK members no Republicans did that by the way Martin Luther King was a Republican and Malcolm x condemned Democrats as being the problem. The party's never switched Joe Biden is a segregationist and always has been and if you stop listening to mainstream media who are nothing but propaganda machines bought and paid for by globalists and communist s, and looked up history you would see that Republicans have always been on the side of liberty and justice while Democrats have always been the oppressors.

@-RINZLER- They arent. That would be the Republicans of today. Rewatch the video and read a history book.
@Ala Gladden They're the same people Ringer doesn't get that.
@-RINZLER-They aren't. At some point you'll get that the racism thing was about region and not about party.
The narrative of the "the party switch because Republicans embraced racists" is extremely misleading. PragerU debunks this: ruclips.net/video/UiprVX4os2Y/видео.html. The South didn't vote solidly for Republicans until the 80s and 90s, a full 20 to 30 years after the Civil Rights act that Phil says made Southern Democrats switch
@@josh_final He didn't debunk it. He gave a narrative to the facts that was favorable to his perspective. Nothing he said changes the fact that the progeny of the Dixiecrats and their policies are now Republicans.
Glad I finally picked this up off of my watch later. Excellent.
Here’s your answer: racism
Yes, most of the racism today exists in the Democrat party. Take a look at their policies, laws and the effects they've had on black people. Remember the "war on poverty"? It decimated the black family because it punished black families if the father lived in the house with the family, by decreasing or eliminating government support, such as welfare or subsidized housing. This Democrat policy encouraged black couples to not get married, which led to a rising rate of children born out of wedlock. By destroying the black families, Democrat politicians proved that they didn't really care about the black community, but because the black families became more dependent on government for survival, it guaranteed that black people would vote for Democrat politicians. It was a way for Democrats to keep blacks on their government "plantation."
@@lg9388 The Public Religion Research Institute is out with its 11th edition of the American Values Survey, a multi-faceted polling survey of more than 2,500 Americans that provides an invaluable source of data on Americans’ views on everything from race to immigration to election preferences. The findings on matters of race are especially striking.
Given two statements - “I would prefer the U.S. to be made up of people from all over the world,” and “I would prefer the U.S. to be a nation primarily made up of people from western European heritage” - a plurality (48 percent) choose the former over the latter (10 percent). However, only 25 percent of Republicans agree with the former, and fewer than half of Whites do. PRRI reports: “Less than one in five Americans (18%) agree that the idea of America where most people are not white bothers them, while 81% disagree. . . [but] Republicans (27% agree, 71% disagree) are somewhat more likely to agree than independents (16% agree, 83% disagree) and Democrats (13% agree, 86% disagree).” Republicans are also much less likely to strongly disagree that a majority-nonwhite America bothers them, with 35 percent reporting that they do strongly disagree, compared with 52 percent of independents and 66 percent of Democrats.
On the topic of responding to Black Lives Matter protests, President Trump received rotten marks, with only 35 percent approving and 64 percent disapproving of his performance. As for the issue of racial injustice, a majority of Americans (56 to 43 percent) think police killings of Black people are part of a pattern, not isolated incidents. But Republicans and Fox News watchers think differently: “Around eight in ten Republicans (79%), compared to 40% independents and 17% of Democrats, believe that killings of African Americans by police are isolated incidents. . . . Republicans who trust Fox News most for television news (90%) are even more likely than Republicans as a whole to say that these are isolated incidents.”
The refusal to acknowledge racism is now as much a defining feature of Republican identity as is being pro-life or anti-government. In defending the status quo, Republicans seek to fortify a system that treats Blacks far worse than Whites.
PRRI also conducted a clever test to see whether the race of protesters matters to various groups of Americans:
Americans are more likely to agree (61%) than disagree (37%) with the statement “When Americans speak up and protest unfair treatment by the government, it always makes our country better.” However, Americans are less likely to agree (52%) and more likely to disagree (47%) with the statement “When Black Americans speak up and protest unfair treatment by the government, it always makes our country better.”
Republicans are 25 percentage points more likely to agree that protests make the country better when the statement does not mention Black Americans (49%) than they are when the protesters are specified as Black Americans (24%). Among Republicans who most trust Fox News, this effect grows to 37 percentage points: 47% favor the statement without Black Americans, compared to only 10% who favor the statement when the protesters are identified as Black Americans.
Republicans may not want to acknowledge the implicitly racist views in their party, but the refusal to recognize that Black protesters are trying to make our country better; the aversion to diversity; the failure to acknowledge racial injustice; and the overwhelming conviction that the Confederate flag (85 percent) and monuments to Confederate soldiers (90 percent) are symbols of “Southern pride” (not racism in recognition that the Civil War was fought to preserve slavery) are frightening indications that racism persists within the GOP - no doubt inflamed by a racist president. The siege mentality expressed by many in the MAGA crowd and the violent groups Trump refuses to directly denounce stem from a sense they are “losing” power and control in American society. That in turn spurs ever more desperate attempts (voter suppression, child separation) to maintain Whites’ dominant position in U.S. society.
Robert P. Jones, the chief executive of PRRI, tells me, “Overall, the survey confirms that denying the existence of systemic racism - both perceptions of continued discrimination today and the effect of past discrimination on the present - has become part of the identity of both Republicans in the political arena and white evangelical Protestants in the religious landscape.”

@@ng7306 Polls are not a good indication of the accuracy of the population at large because polls can be manipulated to the pollster's agenda, depending on what questions are asked and who they choose to ask the questions. As we learned in the election of 2016 and this election, the pollsters were way off in their polling. Therefore, I don't give much, if any, credibility to polls. Nice try though.
@@lg9388 I don't think it would be fair to say the democrats destroyed the black family. Both parties have had a hand at helping with that and the black community iself.
@@sobeliever1638 There is only one party that has had their "war on poverty", that actually prevented many poor families, including black families, from getting ahead financially. If the father lived in the house, they would lose their government benefits, which encouraged couples not to get married and children to be born out of wedlock. Today that is not considered a horrible thing, but several generations ago it was, because many children were growing up without a father around, and some of them would join gangs, get into drugs, etc. That had a very destructive effect on the families.
GREAT presentation! Worth the watch.
Wow, that was awesome. You had me spellbound to the end!😊😊
This video may be the closest to address the irony of a group that read the Bible for decades and thought segregation was worth their time and hard-earned tax money. I think that’s the real story. That black Christians would vote for the group that supported making them fully enfranchised citizens is a no-brainer. How is that conservative Christians have embraced open and subtle segregation, in light of scripture, for so long?
For the same reason that church goers believe everything their pastor says: they don't read their own bible and let someone else interpret it for them. If they took their sweet time to actually read the word for themselves, they would've seen the deception, but because they stuck to a few verses and just swallowed the "gospel of the preacher," they got deceived. In the same way black Christians get deceived by their pastors because they don't read the scriptures and don't test the spirits. Their pastors teach them to vote democrat and that Donald Trump is evil - I'm not kidding, I heard it on the radio, some black pastor was preaching it - but they fail to teach them that the way of the Democrat party is the exact opposite of the bible. How can you tell someone to vote for a party that is against the very things you preach every Sunday? That's why it's important to read the Word of God for yourself.
@@sblijheid Your comment is more than a notion. An author has coined a term for this phenomenon, packaged-deal ethics: hedgehogreview.com/blog/thr/posts/moral-imagination-holds-the-key
However, I still see a big difference. Segregation was something you *had* to do. The DNC may incorporate certain stances in its platform, but there is no law coming down the pike to disenfranchise anyone. This is the mystery of the evangelical vote to me.
🤔🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍👍🤨🤨🤨🤨
I agree with you, Don't you think it's Time for the Body of Christ to finally come together ? Don't you think we need to get our own HOUSE in order first ?

Living in the North for 35 years and the South for another 35 years, I finally realized that the south is still trying to win the Civil War. Southerners still see the government as the "Union." Thank you for putting it all out there.
@Robin Spencer umm no. Unless you equate all Republicans as basically Confederates in camouflage, which is totally false. Also the culture has basically wiped out any acceptance of what the Confederates used to stand for in regards to race.
As someone who grew up in the South... No. Southerners just want to be left alone in general to fail or succeed in their own efforts.
@@josh_final Well, southern Republicans do fly the Confederate flag.
@@metaLungiez Mississippi just took the Confederate symbol off their flag, something which would be completely unexpected 20 years ago. So I think it's safe to say the South is changing.
Yep and their most fervent desire is that “we shall rise again” ! That’s the message behind all the confederate statues, confederate flag waving, terrorist church bombings, good ole boy rallies, voter suppression efforts. Wishing for the good old days when might made right and you were still considered to be on a higher rung of society as long as your complexion could be identified as white. (Not forgetting poor Sarah Jane in ‘Imitation of Life’ who gets the shit kicked out of her for passing as white).
Very interesting and needed background. My daughter said, “I wish he would do a whole series of videos on history.” Would love a list of the sources used for additional study. - a homeschool mom
Same! also homeschooling
You mean “revisionist history”?
He's done a great series on race in America which is also an excellent summary.
@@tproudboomer5965 Don't know if you know this, but when new information (or old suppressed information) comes to light, it's important to reconsider old interpretations of history.
History should always be in a constant process of revision, just as a Christian should always be in a constant process of repentance.
@@debracrockett5386 His piece on racism in America is persuasive, but is it accurate? If you have not attempted to falsify any of his claims, do you really know that it is wonderful? If you focus on the period after 1928, and go slowly, you'll be able to see what I mean. Very little of what he says is true. Some stats are true, but used as support for wildly incorrect claims.
If everything the characters in his narrative do is in response to racism, then you are hearing a fictional story. You want racism to be the explanation, therefore you like story being told.
Thank you for explaining this issue so clearly.
This video is absolutely amazing. Thank you for your insight and knowledge.
This is pretty accurate. Thank you for making this one. It is very educational. I hope it brings better understanding.
Phil's video brings half truths and deceptions. For example, there never was any "shift" or "switch" between the parties. Here is a video that helps to clarify that. ruclips.net/video/ol7OMGBDMao/видео.html
Have no loyalty but to God. It doesn't matter if you vote or not GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
I’m a white christian an I vote democrat. Would not vote for any republican.
This was a great breakdown. Thank you for your insights and truths.
LOL
Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian were the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse.
Flavious Vespasian is - was and forever will be the most important person that has ever lived.
He killed off the warrior Guals of France and Spain. He then did the same to the messianic Jews. He started antisemitism to keep the Jews down. He took their holy objects like the menorah. And he became Ceasar and built the Coliseum. Where - for many years they killed Christians in games. He adopted the last Messianic Jew and gave him his name - Flavious Josephus. And Josephus was Rome's personal scribe - they wrote the new bible and rewrote history. He invented Christianity to divide the rebel Jews with hate. He had it written to promote His/Vespasian's perspective. They retroactivated the new testament so the bible character Jesus's prophecies would come true. It is his Roman spin/propagana. After the Jews detroyed Rome he came back with a vengence destroying Jerusalem and their temples. He then proclaimed himself Jesus the Christ. It' a Greek term for The Savior Messiah. Flavious Vespasian was a mule breeder. Mules are the offspring of a male donkey ( jackass) and a female horse. Vespasian/Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem in Matthew tells how he sent two of his disciples to a village to get a donkey with a colt beside it.
He told them to bring the donkey and the colt to him so he can ride the donkey on his way into Jerusalem. This is a sneeky way of saying for the messianic Jews that Jesus was Vespasian.
