Come visit my parish ... we have folks from all over the world ... Honduras, Guatemala, Kenya, Nairobi, Vietnam, Phillipines, etc. Yes, mostly white (Dallas suburbia), but a lot of the others. We even host an African mass on occasion.
Segregation? Not here.
I’m glad to hear that. But you know that having people from Kenya isn’t the same as having African-Americans in some respects. I do know that there are some African-American Catholics, but the point is segregation in communities. And I’ll also add that after being highly segregated from black and Hispanic people until I was in my 30’s, I did through different problems I had that made me low-wage earning I did get to know many of them. Now I’m in Lexington, Kentucky, and it is far more integrated than Buffalo or anywhere else in the Northeast that I’m familiar with, and I believe if the white people in Buffalo saw pictures of the “black section” of town, they would assume that these were white neighborhoods. Kentucky is one of the most integrated states in terms of schooling, and in Lexington white people are often in the “black section,” and many black people live outside of it, so that you’ll see a mix of races everywhere. But when I looked into Louisville, which is much more Catholic, it is desegregated school-wise due to busing, but it’s said to continue to be heavily segregated by neighborhood.
