I have been in several different churches in my lifetime, due to relocating with my job.
Three of these churches have been in the South and none of them were any way racist.
They were all great revival and evangelistic churches who had a passion for the lost, no matter the color of their skin.

people have various experiences. Plus this is 2011, more prominent back in the day. People do change.

I went to Jakes church a few months ago... felt no racism there at all. However there were a few other things that I did not enjoy.

the decibel level was waaay high. and there was a strange thing about money... alot of offering pomp - going into the sanctuary and coming out, not to mention the regular offering push and also people running up and throwing money at the speaker...
It really did not make me want to give.

Oh well.

I don't think she said the church was racist but that she encountered some racist members

I was born, rasied and still live in the south and your statement is racist. Racist does not just mean whites againts blacks. It sounds to me as if you are racist against people from the south and that puts you in the same category as those from your church who you claim are racist.

There are many intelligent non-racist people in the south. Unfornuately, the ones that get the attention are the ones who are racist. Curious as to how many non-racist people from the south are in your church?

I agree with your statement and have made several posts to this effect.

But... I would interject this. Her statement isn't as much racist as it is prejudiced.

you need to come live in the south

You do not know Multi-Cultural until you have been to California. Church in more then one language. Red, Yellow, Black and White; they really are precious in His sight.

I lived in the South for a year. There was more racism from both sides that I have ever seen in my life. Not so much in the church that I attended though.

Did you sing that in Sunday school too?
