Its not just the racism, it's ignorance, the government mandated religiosity, the bigotry against everyone who isn't white and their favored brand of protestant, and not Republican.
I've lived in East Tennessee all my life, I have family in parts of North Carolina, friends in Georgia, Virginia, black friends in South Carolina, more friends in Florida and Kentucky. These people run the gambit in religion or non-religion, some are racist, some fall in the middle and most are like me, they have no problems with race. Those who have a dislike for another race, are still people who are my friends, though I disagree with them, some of them have qualities in them I wish was a part of my life. I'm sure others find faults in me, yet they keep me as a friend. Life is not, nor ever will be perfect, same for people, but one does not just shove people to the side and consider them something less than themselves, if they do this they are no better than the judgement they place on others. I've traveled all over this country and have seen those things you stated in every part of this country. If change is going to come to this country people are going to have to get along no matter what they believe, how else will the divisions between people come to light and be discussed to move our country in a better direction. You know what I see in what you said, the same I've heard whites say about other races, so where's the difference. The change has got to start with everyone, not just the one's you dislike. Please do not be offended with what I said, I was not trying to be critical, it was an observation.

Yeah. No need to thank Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks, or anyone like that.
I do not know how old you are, but I can tell you this, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks were good Christians and they would and did say, Thank God. They saw what they did as a work with God and for their race. I was proud of Rosa Parks and admired her courage, I will never forget the terrible feeling of losing Martin Luther because someone could not see him for the person he was, "great." You should learn something about others before you criticize. If you had not used those rolling eyes I would not have included the previous sentence.

Sorry I fit into what makes you so uncomfortable, don't fret though you make me uncomfortable.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
