Church News: The Bishop, The Blogger and The Community’s Response.

Church News: The Bishop, The Blogger and The Community’s Response.

By Candace L. Smith




In the next two seasons of Unfiltered we will discuss the church and community. I may end up references some of these viral moments in the black community regarding clergy. In this video I share my thoughts about the Bishop that was robbed at gunpoint during his church service. He went viral because the robbery happened on live stream and at the time the Bishop was wearing over 400,000 worth of jewels.

The community began to speculate if the robbery was real pointing out various things they felt like didn’t make sense such as the camera movement, the words the Bishop was speaking at the beginning of his sermon right before the robbery, the way the young man casually sat in the corner and didn’t get down and the amount of jewelry the Bishop was wearing.

The Bishop ended up going on the news and the community picked apart his interviews and commentators and bloggers online began to further speculate if the robbery was real and digging into the Bishops past and background. They discovered he had a record and bloggers began to spill tea about the Bishops scandals. One blogger and commentator Larry Reid Live who is known for discussing Black preachers and clergy has gone viral several times for his interviews with black gospel legends and scandals and controversies.

He hopped online and went live from his Instagram inviting a female pastor to join him in discussing the “robbery”. It was clear they did not believe in the robbery so they began to discuss the entire robbery questioning the decor of the church and everything that was public information. During the live the Bishop requested to join and began to say how upset he was that Larry discussing the robbery. They have a past and people in common and have met and the Bishop felt personally attacked by the comments.

Larry made light of the comments he was making and declared that he was helping the Bishop and the conversation went left. The Bishop started saying very inappropriate things towards Larry and the woman. Since that conversation the Bishop continues to have interviews and go live. Larry continues to expose the Bishop for owing other parishioners money and uncovering fraud and theft and reading public records online.
It’s a holy hot mess and here’s my thoughts. 💁🏽‍♀️

More information comes out about Tik Tok ban.

More information comes out about Tik Tok ban. The potential TikTok ban in the U.S. has stirred up a lot of emotions, especially for those who rely on the platform for entertainment, connection, or even income. Earlier this year, many were caught off guard by the possibility of losing access to the app, as Congress cited concerns about its impact on teenagers. Recent documents reveal that TikTok was aware of the platform’s addictive nature and its harmful effects, particularly on young users, which adds a new layer to the conversation. It’s alarming to see that not only was the platform aware of these issues, but the harm was reportedly intentional. From my experience as a TikTok user, I can agree that the platform can have negative effects, even when the content itself seems harmless or positive. Spending too much time on any app can be damaging, especially when it pulls you in without you realizing how much time you’ve spent. It’s a reminder that we all need to be mindful of how ...

Black Men Address Kamala Harris + Roland Martin discussion with Black Men + A Black Woman's Response

Black Men Address Kamala Harris + Roland Martin discussion with Black Men + A Black Woman's Response Watch the video and check out my response below.  Share your thoughts in the comment section. In response to the discussions presented in both videos, Roland Martin’s pushback against the narrative that black women in political power neglect black men’s needs highlights the complex relationship between gender, politics, and accountability within the black community. Martin’s insistence on relying on data, particularly regarding education and resource distribution, emphasizes that many of these claims may not be rooted in fact but in perception. It points to a larger conversation about how black men and women experience and navigate systems differently, though they are often impacted by similar forces. The TikTok video responds more directly to the lack of accountability some black men display, calling out the cyclical nature of excuses. The woman in the video argues that black men ...
