Are Churches Still Racially Segregated Today? (What Has Changed Since the 1960s)

[Van]

So you seem to be the deceiver propagating the well known logical fallacy that the country is systemically racist.

I believe the legacy of our past fuels our racial divide of today. Ever hear a democrat say "they want to put you back in chains" or "they want to impose Jim Crow 2.0? Ever see protesters destroy police cars or buildings because they think of the police as the arm of suppressors, not protectors? On the other hand, familiarity produces unity, as I have worked with people over time, and soon they become just "Joe" or Ed" and their differing appearance does not even register in my mind.

When you see rioters burning police cars, do you rule out that they, at least some of them, do believe the claim that American culture is systemically racist. Certainly dozens of Democrats, many of them Black, have made the claim. Could not some who heard believe?

The false claim of systemic racism and the delusional acceptance of the falsehood actually fuels our division and strife.

IF we are such a systemically racist country how do Africans, Asians and Latinx come here and prosper? It is only the native born who seem to have an issue. How do we have people of all colors in every area of business and politics? How does a Black man in Texas get elected in a district that is predominately White? When I was in HS, my French teacher was Black and there was a biracial girl in the 7th grade. We had no Latinx or Asian. None lived in the area. In the third grade, I lived across the creek or crick from the only Black family in town. That has changed. One of their sons and I fished the crick and we got along fine until years later when he met some brothers from another mother who taught him to end our friendship. In the military, my best supervisors were Black. Yet, one of my Black friends was beaten and even shot at by other Blacks because he hung out with me and a lad from Cake County, KY. As the old song says, "There's no future in the past." Move on!

Or is it just an issue or some individuals - and yes with influence of a few others.
