You want the Christians in power to pass laws allowing for institutionalized discrimination.
It was passing of laws that stripped blacks from having any political power and made discrimination free from economic consequences that institutionalized it. Take away the Jim Crow laws and take away the minimum wage laws designed to price cheap black labor out the market and the world would have been a much better place. Blacks would be on par or surpassing whites today. They wouldn't be relegated to the ghetto. It was stripping people of there rights and ability to be self determinant that created the mess....and somehow you think stripping people of their rights and ability to be self determinant is going to make it better?
Do you seriously think that government is some autonomous machine without anyone at the helm? Who do you think passed those laws?
Are you seriously equating Christians---the overwhelming majority---with blacks in the South, the disenfranchised minority?
I'm done here. This thread has simply devolved into you getting your troll rocks off.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
