Mississippi church bans African American wedding after complaints

[QUOTE="Zeviander"]I wonder if those white folk were told it's not 1930 anymore.Pirate700

How is this even legal anyway? Are there not discrimination laws? The primary reason for the refusal is because of their skin colour, so I can't see how someone can defend that in the 21st century.Ravensmash

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]You need proof that there are racist black people?

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] No, I want proof that a black church won't welcome people of different races. Bucked20

Heck, why don't you just bring back segregation in that case.

[QUOTE="champion837"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]To be fair, there are predominantly black churches in the deep south where white folk or Asians, etc. wouldn't be taken kindly to. It's not just a one way street.

Pirate700

My point is it's not just evil whitey keeping everyone down. It's a shameful act that plagues all races.

[QUOTE="champion837"] If that does happen, then what you are describing is resentment towards being oppressed or at the worst group bias. That happens all around the world. It has nothing to do with feeling superior towards a race.champion837

[QUOTE="Bucked20"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]If you think there aren't black churches in the deep south where many of the attendees don't like white folk, you are extremely naive...

Pirate700

I find it interesting though, how blacks in a matter of 50-odd years go from subordination, to equality, to thinking themselves superior to whites (not as a whole mind you, but I've met my fair share of racist blacks; depends on where they are from).Zeviander

Impossible, we're in a post-racial society. This couple must somehow be race-baiting.

Any "Church" that has a problem with people of different races is not a true Church of Christ; it's a Church of the Devil.

[QUOTE="Bucked20"][QUOTE="almasdeathchild"]every race can be racist you dumbass

They should probably consider a new church.

They'll still be racist. Just because we force them into doing the cermony it won't stop them from thinking it. It's a church. If they don't want to wed black people, forcing them to wed black people isn't going to do anything to keep them from unfairly judging black people, and those some people won't ever be welcome in that church. They'd be ostracized for the entire time they were there.

The only thing for them to do is find another church. There are thousands of them, and in Mississippi there's probably a few hundred.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Let the racists win. No, if the pastor was a decent person then he'd go ahead with the wedding and tell those racists to go and find a new church. Ravensmash

Maybe, but whether you send the message or not they'll still believe whatever the hell they want. It may not be acceptable but they're still gonna do it. And yeah, if you do assault a person long enough they'll leave for somewhere else. I don't see what anyone can do about it, though. This falls into that "gray" category, where if you try to make them do something they claim religious prosecution.

I'm just saying the only real solution for these people is to go somewhere else.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] They've been attending the church every sunday. Sure they'll still be racist, but marrying them would send a message to that congregation that it's not acceptable in the 21st century. Telling the couple to piss off elsewhere however? Yep, if you shout/complain long enough about the dark folk then they'll go away eventually.Ravensmash

Of course it isn't and I agree with you. But they'll still say it. These people aren't going to just stop being racist, and because its about their church they can manipulate things to their advantage.

A perfect example of that is the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I was there when that sh!t went down. I have never heard more stupid, angry religious people complain about gays than I have there. I even had a guy tell me if he had to share a barracks room with a "f**got", he'd murder him. And the Marine Corps acknowledged what they said.

Hopefully any decent people who go there will leave the church. I know I wouldn't want to associate with people like that.
