re: #1 Flavia
I always knew that there were stupid individuals in the world. & even stupid groups. I mean, with the Internet, they’re now impossible to avoid. But I guess I was still naive enough to think that stuff like this was still going on. I mean openly, in public, from a group that doesn’t openly say that they’re racists.
To be fair to my home state, its a tiny (40 member) backwoods church, probably with a median age of about 70, and the policy was adopted by a vote of 9-6. I live in an integrated subdivision and there are lots of multi-racial families in my town, so please don’t judge the whole state by nine ignorant bigots.
