It had nothing to do with Mormomism and everything to do with racism.

Most of the congregation is Black as is this pastor. In 2008 many white families left the church due to the overwhelming support of most of the members for Obama. We were not there at that time.

Two weeks ago, my kids school (a private Christian K-6) had pastor appreciation day and hosted lunch for the pastors to have with the kids from their church.

My kids were at the table with our pastor when the school board chairman drops by and talks a bit. He held out his hand (he’s white) and compared it to the pastors (black) and my kids (chinese) and talked about what made everyone different. I have no idea what prompted this, but he is far from a racist...he has 3 adopted kids from China and Vietnam. Anyway, our pastor went ballistic and told us we should never allow our kids to go to this guys home (that would be hard, our kids are best friends with his kids) and then he proceeded to compare the guy to Jerry Sandusky. Jerry Sandusky? Really? For pointing out the truth?

Last year, after this same dinner, Mr. Pastor himself commented that he thought they seated him at the “minority table” because no one at the table was white. Our school is very small but VERY mixed racially...we have tons of internationally adopted kids that attend.

Thank goodness our conversation was interupted or there could have been a fight. I’m a bit of a pit bull and won’t let go once I get started.

I am still fuming at his comment however....
