COVID-19 has claimed more than 560,000 American lives but conservative pastor E.W. Jackson believes Black Lives Matter will have more detrimental lasting effects on America than the pandemic.
Jackson said on The Awakening, a radio show, the "cultural" virus in the United States may be worse than the medical one the pandemic posed. He pushed back against the criticism of law enforcement, arguing that it could motivate officers to abandon their career choice, and at a Black Lives Matter co-founders' belief in Marxism, a philosophy often associated with communism and socialism.
"COVID is a medical problem and a disease problem that is going to run its course," Jackson said. "I think Black Lives Matter could so infect the culture of our country, so divide us racially that it could take a generation to undo the damage they are doing."
Jackson, who is Black, criticized BLM for having different reactions to shootings if it involved a police officer, accused the organization of not really caring about the people they advocate for and being "out of sync with the word of God."

I think racism and church sanctified, bible based white supremacy have already so infected our culture, has so divided us racially that it has taken scores of generations to undo the damage fearful hate filled white people have done.
Love one another as I have loved you, love your neighbor a your self.
Step off, Reverend.
