We’re going to need to check with Snopes to see if Pastor Jonny Rashid’s (pronouns: he/him) claim is true or just a shot at satire. You see, he claims The Babylon Bee is a white supremacist site and ought to be condemned by Christians. We think this is the post that got Rashid riled up, written after CEO Dan Cathy walked across the stage to kneel before a black man and shine his — sneakers? — to show embarrassment for his racism:

The Babylon Bee is a white supremacist rag that exploits Christians for clicks. It is not remotely Christian and should be condemned by all of us. Shame on you, @SethDillon.

Did this guy think I was seeking his approval? I crave the condemnation of woke "Christian" lefties. I'd only be ashamed if they liked me. https://t.co/6lEEBCjVmd

You know they're satirists, right?

Satire is not an excuse to be racist. And the only people tempted go use it that way are racists.

There is an old saying; when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs the one who yelps is the one you hit. Just saying.

Yes, this is why Seth RTed me. He yelped.

Here’s the thing, Seth, if you find this funny, you are telling on yourself. This isn’t a joke, it’s not even a dog whistle, it’s an air horn. And the problem is this: you are responsible for the people you lead. You are making racists for profit. https://t.co/7PauTtMaeU pic.twitter.com/AdVMNI3gV4

This “satire” actually exposes your racism.

I love the Bee the way Jesus loves you. Except for the going to the cross part. And the being perfect part. OK, so pretty much nothing like the way Jesus loves you. But I do love @TheBabylonBee.

It’s satire.
And, really good satire at that Johnny, if it’s getting under the skin of its target with humor and without vitriol.— Taylor (@2019wasbetter) June 20, 2020

Yet further proof that leftists are just miserable people with no joy in their hearts. Can't even recognize a joke site when they see it, because they don't know what humor is.

‘Condemn’ sounds like something the 80’s era evangelical Republican morality police did. Now it’s the height of hysterical religious Progressivism. Sad.

The premise of the @ChickfilA satire was touching on a truth. Dan Cathy abandoned his virtue to pander to the mob. Seeking the approval of men above God. Hence the opening Sunday but only for blacks. Your wokeness won’t allow you to see that unfortunately
— Dean Monty (@landjax) June 20, 2020
As we said in the other post, if shining the shoes of the next black person you see will make you feel contrite, go ahead — but you should probably ask if the person wants you shining their shoes first.
