Read the first post. Get over yourself. You're nowhere near as smart as you think you are.
By the way, what have you done - by way of racial relations - lately? My guess is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. |

You equate a church going down in flames as good for the racial struggle this country faces as it got an all white congregation together with an all black congregation.
I think it is sad that it takes a church burning down to get people to communicate and I think it sad we are still segregated. Go back to the black church after reconstruction and see if they are still interacting? I highly doubt it.
What have I done? I try to treat people like humans... not sub divisions of humans. And I try to use my vote wisely of course.

The church burned down because of faulty wiring. No arson. Another church offered to let the members of the burned church use their building until they get a new one built. Now you tell me where you see the racism? | |

Both living in proximity of each other but segregated.
They only came together because of a disaster. They are living separately because of rascism and my guess is once the black church is rebuilt they will continue to do so.

No one is forcing them. If there is racism, why is the white church helping the black church? Warning, this may require you to think. | |

They chose to have it this way. They were not forced to have it this way. Let's be honest. I have nothing against black people, my best friend is black. But, I would feel more comfortable around white people, as would black amongst other blacks. They are not forced to be segregated, it's a choice. There is not racism involved here.
