I am wondering if the parish at this church is majority white normally anyway. I had a friend in high school whose family went to the ~~evangelical~~ baptist church in town and they were white. He invited me one time, and I was surprised that there was only about 3 black people in attendance. I expected it to be mostly black people because that's how this denomination has been presented and stereotyped in media.
E: wrong name.
What media? There are non-denominational evangelical churches that are predominantly * one race, some are a fair mix.
Also, what is up with the red shirt guy?
Like... Anything? TV, movies, etc. And my dumbass was thinking baptist. IDK how I got those names mixed up 🤦♂️. The kind of church with a big-ass choir and does a lot of high energy singing.
I was also very confused reading your previous comment, because of all the different names for black churches, "evangelical" is not a word I'd pick to describe them.
Also, I think it's important to clarify that the various black "baptist" denominations are very much not the same thing as "Southern Baptist"!
Maybe the word you were looking for was something like "gospel."
Gospel! That's the one. Holy shit my mind is mush today.
You're thinking of Pentecostal churches. Although plenty of white ones do exist.
Could be any, in a large enough area. AME Zionist, Baptist, Holiness,, Methodist, noon-denom, pick one. I didn't šay Catholic because I've never visited a mostly black Catholic Church, but I went to a Catholic Church with a black priest. But high energy singing, though.
If you look at the photos of the church at other times, you see a whopping TWO white people ... total ... and it appears they're with their spouses and mixed race kiddos.
I usually stereotype Pentecostals as being black 😂 When white people try to be Pentecostal, it usually ends up cringe.
