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

I could say that of Hillary Clinton. It's not a bad fit for any democrat politician, really.
If I pretend you are correct, so what? The evidence shows that Trump fought for the things I wanted. That could be coincidence. What does it matter? He did what I wanted, no matter what his motive may have been.
But I look at it this way: he put himself in a hazardous job (assassination of presidents is common) and lost about a billion dollars. Until that virus hit, he had gotten unemployment down to record lows. He got rid of all sorts of things that were annoying and unfair. Neither you nor I can ever hope to see into the mind of another person, but it sure looks like Trump was fighting for me. If he wasn't, oh well, it worked out the same.
