Kirk Franklin Confronted, Clarence Thomas Attacked & Alpha Phi Alpha Exposed
On a recent Sunday, Chicago Pastor Charlie Dates stood in his pulpit at Progressive Baptist Church and referred to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Uncle Clarence Thomas" — invoking one of the most weighted racial slurs used to describe Black conservatives, from the pulpit of a historic Black church, in the middle of a sermon comparing Justice Thomas to Egyptians who wanted to "go back to making bricks with no straw."
The clip has gone viral, and it deserves a response.
Pastor John Amanchukwu welcomes back Bishop Patrick L. Wooden Sr. — senior pastor at Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina, one of the most respected voices in Black conservative Christian ministry, and a returning weekly guest on Disturbing the Peace — for a wide-ranging conversation on four of the biggest cultural moments hitting the Black church right now.
They open with Charlie Dates. In April 2026, Justice Thomas delivered a major speech at the University of Texas warning that "progressivism is the greatest threat to American liberty — it seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence." He argued rights come from God, not government. He referenced Plessy v. Ferguson as "a hideous wrong." This is what Charlie Dates chose to attack from a Chicago pulpit — not the argument, but the man delivering it. John's question cuts to the heart of it. "A man of God, supposedly, standing in the pulpit — not a barbershop, not Twitter — a pulpit — and putting a racial slur on a sitting Supreme Court Justice. Is that preaching? Or is that politics wearing a collar?" Bishop Wooden's answer is theological, historical, and clear.
Then they pivot to the Kirk Franklin viral moment from the Independence Mall event in Philadelphia. The concert was canceled due to severe weather. Kirk Franklin climbed on top of his SUV to greet fans when a street preacher approached and repeatedly told him to "repent." Franklin initially tried to de-escalate — offering the man a hug, saying "I love you." Then the street preacher said the words that changed everything: "you and your wife are going to hell." Bishop Wooden walks through what actually happened, why the word repentance offends the modern American church more than open sin, and where both Franklin and the street preacher were right and wrong. His diagnosis of the modern American gospel is one of his sharpest yet: "God has become our dumbwaiter. He stands in the corner until we need Him. That's not biblical Christianity."
The most heart-wrenching segment of the conversation follows. A mother appeared publicly recently to testify about the loss of her daughter to an illegal immigrant. Bishop Wooden calls her "remarkably reserved" — and confesses he doesn't know if he could have been that reserved, particularly if while reading his testimony he had seen a politician sitting nearby "looking smug and untouched." Bishop then shares his own recent encounter at a gas station where he faced down a young man he describes as tatted with facial tats, spider webs on his elbows, dots on his eyes — a man the Holy Spirit warned him was trying to size him up. Bishop stared him down. The young man got back in his truck and drove away. The point Bishop makes about the difference is unforgettable — and the girl in the testimony did not have that same option. John asks the question that has to be asked: "Does God ever require a nation to abandon justice in order to prove compassion?" Bishop's answer is simple and devastating: "No. Because that's not compassion. Justice IS compassion. If you abandon justice, you embrace lawlessness."
