Try to edit your thoughts so they don't sound racist and stereotypical.

Sometimes people say things not realizing how it sounds but have no malicious intent and some just out right racist. I've heard a white preacher say something at a funeral that could easily offend the black attendees, almost all were black. He was trying to make a point he wasn't prejudice but said something that could be taken prejudice. "I grew up on wrong side of tracks too" was statement. Well, not all blacks are poor on other side of tracks.

The pastor has a black asst. One blacks started attending some whites didn't like it, the pastor in front of church told church if they got a problem with blacks coming here there is the door.
