It's like crabs in a bucket. If one of them starts to climb out, instinct causes them to pull him back down where they think conditions are right.

I never read Sports Illustrated, other than the Swimsuit Issue. I'm impressed, sis. LOL But for the record, most of their models are white. I'd often wondered why more women of color weren't featured. Maybe things have changed, it's been quite a few years since I looked at one. lol

There are a lot of serious issues that we can't work out because people are screaming inequality and racism if we try.

True. No denying that.

I believe that birds of a feather flock together and that can also be said of a church body. People visit various congregations to find their place.

That's also true.
