He called the church a “mother mecca of the hate that lives inside of Dallas” on a local newscast. In response, the pastor, Robert Jeffress of the megachurch appeared several times on Fox News and said this: “And he’s concerned about my rhetoric,” Jeffress complained on Lou Dobbs Tonight. “That is gross hypocrisy. He’s nothing but a thug.” This referring to Alexander’s prior run-ins with local law enforcement years earlier as a younger man. He has since corrected his trajectory to become an activist in the wake of nationally publicized police killings of unarmed African-Americans, where he organized and lead protests annoying Dallas police.
One of only two commenters rallied behind their pastor’s rhetoric backing his “thug” statement.
Alexander, who is also a minister, eagerly responded by holding a press conference in front of Jeffress’ church the next day. “I take offense to the word ‘thug’ because it’s the new word for ‘nigger,’” Alexander told the Observer. “What is a ‘thug’? I want him to define ‘thug.’”
Black Activated ask the question… After all of the hi-jinks that 45 has been up to since taking office what are they saying about Mr. Alexander today?
Dallas activist Dominique Alexander has been called many derogatory names since he began leading protests in Dallas in late 2014. He claims he’s been held partially responsible for five Dallas police officers’ deaths after one of his protests ended in gunfire in early July.But the hate mail and death threats didn’t flood his Facebook inbox until the 27-year-old Alexander began protesting the First Baptist Church of Dallas with other anti-Trump protesters in early November.
