I'm sure the preacher who told this man not to come with his white wife would think what I posted would be negative but some one who is not a racist would have no problem with it.

One of my employees grandmother wouldn't have anything to do with her when she was a little girl because she had blue eyes and reddish hair. One of my son-in-laws grandmother was very unhappy when her grandson married my strawberry blonde daughter. So my good friend racism is a two way street. By the way, my half Mexican grandchildren are absolutely beautiful I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, you're accusing me of being racist? I'm just accustomed to most of your posts being negative, but I will speak to your previous post.

That man is either a racist or those members must pay a large amount of tithes and offerings that he can't afford to lose.
If this story actually happened, and I have no doubt that it didn't, I think it's deplorable and despicable behaviour. I cannot imagine treating human beings in this fashion.

I would have stood up against it and, of course, been in trouble. But, I find that my ancestors were much the same. We have a plaque in San Antonio honoring my mother's family for helping fugitive slaves escape during the Civil War. I'm very proud to know it and to know that is my family and our history.

So with your doubt are you saying that I am making it up?

Who put a bur under your saddle my good friend. I have never said racism is a white only problem.

I think that if black people want others to stop saying the "N" word, then they need to stop calling each other that. If they want it to drop from the vocabulary, then they need to be the first to step up. It does not help their cause - at all.

I simply responded to pressing-on above post by stating not only is the N word used by Christians, I gave her an example of racism that is alive and well in the Apostolic Church in the south.

In my church? (I am in the south)

In the church up the road?

What percentage of churches in the south would you feel comfortable in pre-judging that racism is alive and well in?
