I do not dispute any of Dr. South's assertions about institutionalized racism in America, past or present. I have neither the life experience nor factual knowledge necessary to judge the disadvantages of being black vs. white in 21st century America. I am 27, white, female, 3rd year law student. I can only authenticate what it's like to be a 27 year old white girl living in America. My question for you, Dr. South - what do you think I should do about it? I have always thought that basing a person's worth on an arbitrary characteristic like race or sex is stupid. But there are alot of stupid people in this world,always have been always will be. Since I can't change the inevitability of human stupidity or its results - cruel and unfair acts, and since I can't understand or change human stupidity and its past cruel and unfair acts, how should I act everyday so that one day, people will realize the futility of pitting an US race against a THEM race? Cause right now, I don't any idea what I can do. But what I do have, is the holy spirit inside of me, guiding my choices, my thoughts, to reflect the glory of God. And what I don't understand, is why you asked that white people come and worship at a black church? Do you really want me there, and if so, what's the real reason? Do you want to uplift my spirit and make me feel a closeness with my fellow worshipers? Or do you want me to listen until I understand that America is, always will be, hating you? Cause I don't know why I would benefit from going to a church that blames me for so many sins.
