I don't want a white man as my pastor!
"I don't want a white man as my pastor! We've come too far by faith to let a white man still have authority over us, and I'll not submit to a white man as pastor." said a brother of color to me when I was traveling through central Florida a number of years ago.
Of course, this isn't the dominant mentality among people of black heritage, but there is a prevailing attitude of this sort among many southern blacks.
Whites aren't any better. I live in the north, and there's a few churches here locally where black men lead the local congregation of mostly white churches. Many older white church members have said that they don't want a black man as pastor.
I pray for these types of people that the scales of racism would fall from their eyes.
