| No, I understand that this church story is what it is: one group of people helping another. But it's not a reason to get rid of affirmative action. That is you trying to make it into something it's not. Quote: |
The POINT is NOT that a "white church is helping a black church". Why do you think that's such a huge deal?
| It's not a huge deal. But understanding how people view the event will help you understand why this isn't a reason to get rid of affirmative action. Quote: |
The POINT is that whites and blacks were together, having a great time, and nobody paid any attention to who was white and who was black.

The other point is that this is something that would NEVER happen if Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or other rabble-rousers were around. They don't want there to be cooperation and inter-racial mingling, where people don't pay any attention to race.
