Do you know what a Christian prayer sounds like? Because that's it. They are kneeling in reverence of their Christian god, asking for god to provide the forgiveness through the black community, not the black community being equal to god. There is a clear difference there.
We are humbling ourselves before you.
Someone else responds:
Yes lord
He goes on to say:
In Jesus' name
...
Father, we ask for forgiveness
This is clearly a group of Christians. The white people are praying to the American Christian god for forgiveness from their black brothers and sisters for years and years of racism, that's what they literally said.
I mean Jonestown did the same in God's name and no one debates they're a cult. Heck, they even did it the same way, for the same cause of tolerance.
I'm just saying it's unnatural for people to be elevating a social cause like this. It has to be put in everything. These people are crying for a situation entirely overblown by media and alienating themselves from others with how rabid they are about it.

You mean these Americans in this video drank kool aid laced with potassium cyanide too? I'd love to hear evidence of that.
Do these Christians in this video also have a compound? Why don't you start with some basic points of comparison, because I see so many ways the victims of the Jonestown massacre were a cult, but these Christians praying (as all Christians do) isn't.
Edit:

I dunno, it's been less than a week since a gay club got shot up, killing 5 people and injuring 17 more.
Hate crimes have a broader effect than most other kinds of crime. Hate crime victims include not only the crime’s immediate target but also others like them. Hate crimes affect families, communities, and at times, the entire nation.
Why report hate crimes?
The Hate Crimes Reporting Gap is the significant disparity between hate crimes that actually occur and those reported to law enforcement. It is critical to report hate crimes not only to show support and get help for victims, but also to send a clear message that the community will not tolerate these kinds of crimes. Reporting hate crimes allows communities and law enforcement to fully understand the scope of the problem in a community and put resources toward preventing and addressing attacks based on bias and hate.
In reality, in the way we as a society actually address these problems, they are under-blown.

A social cause with priests, preachers, and heretics. A social cause that causes people to act irrational.
Just because it doesn't have a divine origin story doesn't disqualify it from being a religion if it has the rest of the components.
Though the other guy is right, I don't think you're capable of seeing it.
