We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Sunday, the Rev. Jamal Bryant delivered a fiery sermon that denounced Walker. Republicans who recruited Walker, a former University of Georgia football star, to run for office did so based on racial stereotypes rather than his qualifications, he told his parishioners at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, just outside Atlanta.
"They figured that they would delude us by picking somebody who they thought would in fact represent us better with a football than with a degree in philosophy,” he told the mostly Black congregation in a sermon that has generated millions of views online. “They thought we were so slow — that we were so stupid — that we would elect the lowest caricature of a stereotypical broken Black man as opposed to somebody who is educated and erudite and focused.”
Asked about the possible conflict, Bryant said in an interview that his words were not delivered as an endorsement of Warnock and should not be interpreted as an official posture of his church. He also pointed out what he felt was undue scrutiny of Black churches as it relates to their political involvement.
“White evangelicals have been very prominent as to who it is that they push and why,” he said. “But when the Black church clears its throat, then we hear, ‘What is the demarcation between church and state?’”
