Sherman, that's what I said...that it took the South over a century to abandon such teachings! (Sheesh!) Here's what I said in post #89: "Like how the South in the late 19th century "abandoned" their teachings about black slavehood & inferiority. How long, Sherm, did that REALLY TAKE take to shake out? How many generations? Something rooted so deep took over a century, Sherm."
Give me a break. Please read my words & don't distort them!
Could you not see that "abandoned" is in quotations? Did I then not follow up with how long that REALLY took to shake out? That it took multiple generations?
I am not intentionally distorting your words. If I misunderstood them, I apologize.
Here’s what I was responding to, “Like how the South in the late 19th century “abandoned” their teachings about black slavehood & inferiority.”
I took you to mean by this that the South officially abandoned these teaching in the late 19th century, but it still took most of a century for them to give them up in their hearts.
My point is that southern “Christians” (or most of them) did NOT abandon their teachings about black inferiority in “late 19th century.” They did so in the 60s and 70s, for the most part, or roughly about the same time Mormons did.
