The SoBaps and the AltRight.
After high drama, Southern Baptists denounce the 'alt-right'

It's amazing to me that there was any drama at all. :(

A silver lining.

They've decided at last to officially detach them themselves from the deplorables. Time will tell if it's a difference with a distinction.

Pio1980,
Can you help me understand this thread? Please be honest. I will be. I have come to respect the openness of Southern US racism. There is a comfort in knowing what tomorrow brings. Northern US racism is ugly because it is underground. Southerners know when to press to their clothes. Northerners rarely do. Of course I have oversimplified the issue. This thread reminds me of my worries as I watch my northern neighborhood try to split hairs. We are trying to persuade each other like peacocks and forgetting that we are humans. Peace |

If we can agree then perhaps racism is not the core issue. The core issue might be acceptance. If I had to choose between racism that is discussed openly and racism that is secretive, I would choose openness. If we also agree on openness then we can explore easier problems to solve. I dunno. Just thinking out loud. |

Most people have something to offer, something to impart but how will you ever know if you refuse to talk to them because their skin is a different color than yours, or if they worship at a different church/synagogue/temple?
