Charlie Dates is the pastor of Progressive Baptist Church -- a fitting name for a church led by a far-left racial agitator -- is also a contributor to the Southern Baptist Convention's ERLC as well as The Gospel Coalition. Dates preached an inspiring (not) sermon at the Southern Baptists MLK50 exaltation event.

Dates recently preached a sermon where he attacked other Black Christians as sell-outs simply because they have not devoted their lives to fighting an artificial boogeyman, white supremacy. He lambasted them for saying things like "I'm Christian before I'm Black."
