Re: White Cop vs Black Scholar
Last week I had a business lunch in the town of Pulaski, TN which is the birthplace of the KKK. The two guys I had lunch with said that the clan still occasionally has a demonstration in the town square but it is just a handful of people and that 99.9% of the population thinks they are nuts. Even in this town with such a horrid past I think the black population is now around 20% and the races get along fine. Racism will never be done away with 100% but for 21st century Black folks to act like they are suffering the same kind of injustices their ancestors endured is absurd yet many of them do it.
When liberal white folks eat up with guilt excuse any and all bad behaviour because someone's ancestors were treated badly it is not doing those people any favors. To continue to excuse many of them seeing everything that happens to them through the race card does them no favors.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
