The whole issue of racism was egged on by government interference. The doctrine of "separate but equal" was issued by the government. Of course, most of the country would have fallen under segregation with out the government interference, but it would have been a lot easier to break away from if it had not been instituted as law.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church. - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
