Crashing a Spiritual Conference
I was at a Westin Hotel on the outskirts of Chicago and heard wonderful singing and shouting… I decided to invite myself in… I quickly realized it was a conference for black women and that I’m not black… Yes, I was NOT welcomed. This is my journey.

I actually don’t see a frame in the entire video where they tell her she can’t go in because she’s not black, in fact the woman at the end is looking at her as if to say “are you stupid?”. I love Olivia but on this one you guys sound like a bunch of, Queer nation and KKK; church burners, not comedy at all. Especially since I come from multi- racial (so called!) (Black; White or Hispanic churches, my whole life; on three continents. “Race” isn’t our hang up (born again believers), it’s yours. You didn’t feel like you belonged Olivia because your INTENT was NOT to belong. Now go watch youtube, guys. Don’t care so don’t write me, but we will always only reap what we have sown.
Oh, get over it Keith. It was a joke. Plan and simple. She was having fun, leave it alone.
I bet they watched “Madea Goes To Jail”.
You have to be a NINJA!!
lol
That happened to me once, ok few time. Must have been a Christian church or secret Satanic religion that rise from the pits of hell on the 3rd Sunday of Every month and meet at the Hotel. Or Christians
i remember that i commented on youtube and not on heyolivia…
i know what that scripture passage means,
i’ll explain back home…
plus i cursed everyone in this video.
That was not right of those people not to invite you. You could have hid the camera, then the mean lady wouldn’t see you.
segregation these days
wooow that wasnt even a glance up down, her whole head moved
Wait a minute. Isn’t that being racist by not letting you in? Too funny.
Good job you’ve got comment moderation on this thing, otherwise you might end up with racist nitwits singing your praises. Oh wait! Good job Olivia Munn, you monster.
Olivia Munn? Get bent! So says the Best Show on WFMU
@Cannonball You’re right. I wasn’t trying to convey that “lifted up on the cross” is the actual translation. It is only what Jesus was eluding to. Sorry for the confusion.
Actually Mike, that isn’t quite right. Though Jesus was speaking of His crucifixion, He only eluded to it; there was no such explicit statement as “on the cross.” I don’t think the people there could possible have know what He actually spoke of; not even Psalm 22 is that specific. You’re right though, the NASB is a more accurate translation that the KJV.
The reason why the Bible verse is hard to understand is because the KJV is poorly translated. “Lifted up” is supposed to be “lifted up on the cross.” He is saying that once he is lifted up on the cross everyone will know that he is the son of God.
so were u in rosemont ill right next to a sweet water tower because if so that’s weird i was there that same day small world
olivia..i think we need to crash black women conventions together. come back to chicago.
I was at that Westin a few weeks ago for a wedding, I actually work down the street. I too was one of the only white people at the wedding, so I know how that feels, although they didn’t kick me out. I did get some weird looks though (even though I was invited)
The last woman’s expression as she looked you up and down is one of the top 3 funniest things I’ve seen this year. Great guerilla video Olivia!
This is why going to the tanning salon is important Munn!
you tried.
Thank you Dingo
oops, meant “fit in.” Spelling goes out the door when you’re in a rage.
Oh, additionally, to the haters out there, that was directed to you with peace and love, peace and love!
I can’t believe some of the hating that’s going on here. To those of you who had a problem with this (cough…Katie…Matt @#141) …lighten the fuck up!
Olivia didn’t go in there to mock their religion! That’s so absurd. The joke was going into somewhere where she obviously didn’t fit it. What made it funnier FOR US what that these women wouldn’t let her in because of what? Her color. Ironic, huh? But not once did I hear her make fun of what was going on inside; she was curious on what goes on. Sure, she tried to half-heartedly sneak in inappropiately, but that’s the innocent humor in it. If that woman would have said, “sure, come in, but you have to turn off the camera,” then that would’ve been it. But, the lady got all physical and put her hands in front of Olivia’s face and camera. Olivia didn’t want to go in there to laugh at anyone, but the opportunity came to push people’s buttons…and that’s what she does so well, creating uncomfortable moments.
Look, you’re entitled to your opinion, but Jesus-lovin’ Christ, turn the sensitivity knob down a notch and get a sense of humor. Otherwise, you’re just gonna be more pissed and bitter with whatever Olivia does next.
Sorry to get serious on this, but I hate when people cry foul when no foul was commited.
Olivia, 99% of the comments here were positive, so keep doing what you do…we love ya!
As a white person I’m pissed off but an still voting for that racist Obama. Olivia what can I say, just marry me and we’ll both be happy, unless we’re as miserable as my parents…..lets talk it out.
you are fucking amazing. i would really really love to have your babies.
you have a lot of balls. that lady was a bitch. funny shit, love ya.
Jesus, where did she keep coming from? Like a ninja or something.
Oh, that’s easy. Jesus was speaking of his pending crucifixion. There’s a lot in that chapter; verse 58 is my favorite.
Oh please Scott.
It doesn’t make you think anything.
Those ladies could obviously see that she was there to make fun of them not actually because she gives a shit about Jesus. So you propose they should just let people in who just want to laugh at them? If she was a sincere white/Asian woman who wanted to listen, and perhaps had signed up for the conference, I’m sure she would have had no problem.
hey olivia ! we should go on a church crashing date sometime ! lol
Haha, that’s my Chicago. Where the hell was I during this? I would have helped sneak you in. Black women + Jesus = serious business.
If white people did that to a black man, the shit would hit the fan. Makes you think doesn’t it?
Awesome. If we teamed up around something like this one of us would get arrested. I’m just looking for the truth!
Haha, this is hilarious. That woman checkin’ you out at the end haha, what was she doing!? That’s funny that you did that. Oh yeah, I’m the one that on Stickam today that said that I talk crap to the people that make rude posts on here, but I’ll try not to anymore, they tick me off though haha.

Maybe your video phone was the problem ?
Rebel, Rebel.
Lol! That’s so fun. I would have joined you, but i couldn’t! :(((
Maybe next time Olivia, maybe next time…
LOL I JUST WANT SOME JESUS TOO
That sucked that they, or more specifically “She”, wouldn’t let you in. It seems odd that a Women’s Conference held to praise God would turn any woman away. Oh well, you rule Olivia.
That smile you had was ear to fucking ear! There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that you were up to mischievous! =p
i love you
Munn, you’ve got balls!
Oh man that woman sizing you up was priceless! Well I guess Jesus was too busy singing to add you to his flock. Better luck next time; waa waa waa waaaaaaaa!
Donny’s a fucking moron, religious people piss me off, and I still love me some Munn.
You should crash a Bar/Bot Mitzvah next.
You can’t resist causing some trouble, can you?
But, I think what Jay said is true. This one blog is not going to stop me from being a fan of yours, though.
Haha you are way more brave than me. There is no way i would have tried to get in again unless i had friends with me and i still probably wouldnt do it.
you should’ve dressed up and got all”chun-li” on there asses!!!!!!!
I’m sad to say I agree with Katie, which sucks because I’m a big fan of yours.
But, this just seemed kind of mean-spirited to me.
AH THEY’RE UP TO SOMETHING
That was hilarious. You’re awesome Olivia. I really needed this today. Thanks again Olivia.
