In response to Perry:
Life is a learning experience. You reference a time in history long gone, when a ‘white’ church wouldn’t consider having people of color inside their church doors, let ALONE in their congregations. Are there still racially polarized churches in our country? Of course there are and they’re NOT all white congregations. But thankfully most of our society has actually learned from the past and has evolved past their racist upbringing. TRUE Christianity sees only a brother or sister in Christ, the color of that ‘relative in Christ’ not mattering one bit. We learn and go on learning….
But for you to take punches at ‘white folks’ for sending their kids to Christian schools I suggest you’ve been misinformed. My grandchildren (my daughter’s kids) attend a Christian school for reasons having NOTHING to do with race! The condition of our public schools has gone so far downhill that to send those children there would be to expose them to violence, ANTI-Christian ideas (from some. not all), and so many more problems that our public school kids face now days. And they’re doing this at SUBSTANTIAL cost and burden with none of it subsidized by any government program. WHY should their parents insist they be made victims to a failing, decaying system? I WISH my son and his wife could and would send their children to a similar school. And for your information their Christian school is open to ANY race, NOT just ‘white people’ (as is the church that operates the school). Do you KNOW of a Christian school that limits itself to only white children? I’ve personally never heard of one. So please don’t be so quick to condemn something JUST because you want to tag racism on it. Frankly YOU sound like that ‘Agent of Intolerance’ to me. And to answer your question “Or are we beginning to show our TRUE COLORS?” I’d say your post plainly shows yours.
