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?

How would I know what church you attend?

I am not prejudging anyone.

I know for a fact that the statement was made by ONE pastor.
I DID NOT say all churches in the south were racist. Could there be more than the one? The answer to that I don't know.

I only know about one very large church in the south where that statement was made to the black evangelist by the pastor.

Then don't you feel statements such as "I gave her an example of racism that is alive and well in the Apostolic church in the south." does tend to leave that impression?

What if I quoted a few quotes from Jeremiah Wright and then stated "I gave a few examples of hatred for this country that is alive and well in black apostolic churches"? Wouldn't that leave the impression that I felt that, because I saw it in one predominately black church, I felt that it was an issue in most black churches?

I think that your statement was recklessly worded which left the impression that you view this as a norm to be found in apostolic churches in the south.
