During the interview, Pastor Darrell Scott, who presides over New Spirit Revival Center  in Cleveland, vehemently spoke out against any implications of Trump being a white supremacist. “It’s not racial, it’s cultural”, Pastor Scott says in regards to Trump referring to one of his Black male supporters in attendance for his Redding, CA rally as “my African-American over here”.

“It was a term of endearment”, Scott adds.

Last night’s CNN appearance hasn’t been the first time that Pastor Scott has openly voiced his support for Donald Trump. Back in September, Scott and a number of other Black clergy members met with Trump in his New York office to ‘pray for him’, showing their support for him in the process.

Here is the video of the CNN interview.

The meeting was held on the premise that Trump would be able to “reach out to an influential set of Republican primary voters”, according to CNN.com. Of course, the meeting itself should not come as a surprise as it is par for the course and indicative of the typical dog and pony shows put on by political candidates. The real disappointing factor is the presence of highly influential Black clergymen in the meeting that afternoon who, at this point, would likely be averse to “handling issues at home”, such as the long dirty laundry list of issues plaguing Black Society.

One of the Black pastors in attendance, by the name of Mark Burns, participated in the closing of the meeting which involved the religious leaders gathering around Trump, and extending their collective hands toward him in prayer. Burns’s wife, Tomarra, uploaded this video to her Facebook page. Dr. David Jeremiah, the white religious leader who led the closing prayer, prayed that God “bring into his life a strong African-American who can stand with him (Trump) and represent that community, so that his voice can be heard in an even stronger way there.”

Given Donald Trump’s long history of racism against Melanoid people, don’t expect David Jeremiah’s prayers to be answered…even if hell freezes over.
