I live in Texas, but have lived all around the US. I did not mean it as an insult.
At the time of integration/desegregation, Black ministers did not want to change their church communities and maintained ‘black’ churches. That does not mean they don’t let people of other races in, but it means they have kept exclusive black Christian traditions of worship, music and racial causes going.
Maybe that is different now in some places. Not in Texas. We still have black churches and people will travel a ways to get to them rather than go to a white/hispanic church nearby. I’m shocked you don’t have black churches there!
Did you ever stop to think that blacks churches exist because they want them?
After all, whites weren’t the only ones forced to integrate.
I remember desegregation. Blacks didn’t like to be forced, at all.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe it should happen.
I mean that it can’t be forced.
Oh, we do have black SBC churches, just not too many. Like I said, most are other denominations... The Memphis area is very black/white conscious. TOO MUCH so.
Hope you have a great week.
