When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

Alright, your opinion is noted. Now - what if, the local black population build themselves a church, and deny membership or entry to any non-black people? Maybe they even define how black you have to be. No Latinos, no half-blacks, no people who can't grow a respectable Afro. Will you have the same opinion? If not - then you are being hypocritical.
Note that on college campuses around the nation, black people are insisting on exactly that. They WANT segregation. They DEMAND that there are "No Whites Zones" created for them.
