The entire Chip and Joanna Gaines family joined Emmanuel Acho to discuss racial injustice in his video series, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. And their powerful conversation aimed at improving the world for future generations is truly inspiring!

Emmanuel Acho is a FOX Sports analyst and former NFL player. And in the Summer of 2020, he began hosting a social media video series, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.

The idea behind the series is to provide a safe place to have the tough, sometimes uncomfortable conversations about race relations. The types of conversations needed to foster compassion and healing. And with the goal of bringing all of God’s children together in mutual respect and harmony.

“I realized I could stand in the gap and bridge the gap and communicate the message that my black friends have to my white brothers and sisters who can help alleviate our problem in society,” he explained. “I felt called, I felt commissioned to deliver the message.”

Chip And Joanna Gaines Join The Conversation For Unity

Emmanuel’s first video resonated deeply and took off. Next came a conversation with Matthew McConaughey. And after that, Chip and Joanna Gaines joined in with their entire family.

It can be challenging for parents to know just how to address racial turmoil with their kids. And that’s why Chip and…

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) delivered an emotional response on the floor of the United States Senate last week in response to what many believe were dismissive and hurtful remarks by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL.) Durbin’s comments came during a discussion about a bill Senator Scott proposed which is aimed at curbing violence against minorities by law enforcement.

According to Faithwire, Senator Durbin believed the bill did not go far enough. He said the bill proposed by Senator Scott was a “token, half-hearted approach.” The term token carries weighty baggage in discussions about race, as it is often used to describe minority hires that companies make in order to give the impression that they are committed to diversity. The comments were also considered especially insensitive since they were used by a white Senator to describe a bill proposed by one of only three Black Senators.

Senator Scott stood and first acknowledged that the day was painful for residents of South Carolina because it was the fifth anniversary of the massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Senator Scott took issue not only with the phrase Senator Durbin used, but also with the idea that his legislation was merely a token.

Senator Scott said, “To think that anti-lynching that’s a part of this legislation would be considered a token piece of legislation because perhaps I’m African American and…

The Democratic auditor of the third-largest county in Ohio could be booted from his own party after posting a tweet alleging that Planned Parenthood targets black communities.

Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes – whose opinions over the years often have diverged from the Democratic platform – referenced a Planned Parenthood in Cincinnati when he wrote on Twitter last Friday, “Just wondering when they are going to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ on Auburn Avenue, you know, in front of that building where they terminate black lives and white ones, too, almost every day of the week.”

The tweet apparently crossed a line for local Democrats, who are threatening to remove him from the party, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Cincinnati sits in Hamilton County.

Hamilton County Democratic Chairwoman Gwen McFarlin released a statement calling the tweet “sexist and racist.” She also pledged to issue a resolution for the party to support a different Democrat for auditor when he is up for re-election in 2022. The statement also called for his censure. Rhodes was first elected in 1990.

“I condemn this comment which I would…

President Donald Trump is expected to announce soon whether the White House supports Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank.

According to CBN News, Trump’s Middle East team will meet this week. The team includes Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu is planning on extending Israel’s borders to include about 30 percent of the West Bank and Jordan Valley. While many see the annexation of the West Bank as a violation of international law, Netanyahu is hoping Trump will support the plan.

Trump’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, released in January, approved of the annexation, but some say the White House may be reconsidering after Palestine rejected the deal.

According to media reports, the Trump administration may be discussing a plan that takes a “gradual” approach to annexation of the West Bank.

Netanyahu also rejected parts of the peace plan, including a directive to create a Palestinian state. He says annexation of some territory could start as soon as July 1.

The White House has also said it would like Netanyahu to agree with alternate prime minster Benny Gantz about annexation. Gantz has said annexation should happen but only as directed in Trump’s peace plan and should not include annexing areas with “many Palestinian…

A plurality of Americans say abortion is morally wrong, according to Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs survey, which also shows a record percentage of Americans saying divorce is morally acceptable.

The poll, conducted May 1-13 and released Tuesday, shows that 47 percent of Americans say abortion is morally wrong and 44 percent say it’s morally acceptable. Although neither percentage is a record, it continues a two-decade trend: The percentage of those who say it’s morally wrong has been higher than the “morally acceptable” position every year since the question was first asked in 2001.

Last year, 50 percent said abortion was morally wrong and 42 percent morally acceptable. When the question was first asked in 2001, 45 percent said it was morally wrong and 42 percent morally permissible.

The poll also shows that on four family-related issues – divorce, sex between unmarried individuals, having a baby outside of marriage, and polygamy – a record-high percentage of Americans say each one is morally permissible.

A record-high of 77 percent say divorce is morally permissible and a record-low of 18 percent say it is morally wrong. Four percent say it depends on the situation. When the poll was first conducted in 2001, 59 percent said divorce was OK, 28 percent said it was wrong and 12 percent said it depends.

A record-high (72 percent) also say sex between an…

An Atlanta teenager wanted to make a difference in his community, so he raised $160,000 to help Black-owned businesses that were damaged during recent protests.

According to Faithwire, 17-year-old CJ Pearson, President of Last Hope USA, which is dedicated to educating Americans about Civics, used his extensive online influence to raise the money. Pearson told WSB-TV in Atlanta that he wanted “To show that black lives matter by supporting these Black-owned businesses that were adversely impacted by these recent events, and not intentionally so, but let’s go help them out.”

This week Pearson delivered a check for $10,000 to Wilbourn Sisters Designs. She told WSB-TV that she was “excited” and “truly grateful” for the gift, which Pearson raised in conjunction with the Georgia Association of Minority Entrepreneurs.

In a tweet announcing the gifts, Pearson said that, “WE didn’t just SAY black lives matter. WE didn’t just post black screens. WE backed it up.”

Pearson was surprised at the outpouring of support for the project. He told Fox News, “When we first started this effort, I set a goal for $30,000. I expected, you know, to maybe raise that and, you know, be able to help a few businesses. But we blew through that goal in just three hours, raising more than $160,000 in three days.” Pearson also said, “it blew me away to see the response that we…
