Well, all of those will exist as long as humans are around, they all stem from ignorance.

Are you implying that as soon as there is no religion all racism will end?

Fixed. In other words, as long as there exists someone to fear or misunderstand a thing, real or imagined, it can and likely will continue to be feared or misunderstood. I'm no fan of religion, but it's the people that do the footwork, not the idle texts or benches.

Reminds me of back in the 80's when a University of Kentucky basketball player, Rex Chapman, was getting threats over having a black girlfriend. Good old rural Kentucky, forever stuck in it's racist past.

That what it seems like he's saying.
THIS.
Numbers 12:1
"Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman."
verses 9-10:
"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed. When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold,Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous."
Because it's taxpayer funded.
Besides this is not an issue in the sense they violated some law; more of an issue to see that this sort of backward racist attitude still exists.

Then yeah, this place just needs to be shut down altogether.

Which is a fucking dumb assertion to make. As if there are no racist or homophobic atheists.....
Do you mean taxpayer supported? Churches aren't actually funded by the government, they're just tax-exempt.

But you it's so much easier to just blame it on religion. I mean why should have to look beyond the fact that they are Christians.
2nd time I've seen this in a thread and it remains completely untrue.Louisville literally carries this state
Louisville literally carries this state
Perhaps the rest of the state should be ashamed that residents of Louisville are 8 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than the state as a whole. I'm just sure none of those crimes are racially motivated. That never happens, right? It's hard to feel pride knowing Louisville has a murder rate 5 times higher than the national average, with 1 out of every 3,571 people statistically guaranteed to die by homicide. In Lexington the rate is 1 in every 25,000 (lower than the national average). I'm sure Louisville even has a number of churches with racist bigots, but who has time to report on it with so many people getting shot?
Despite all that I really like the city, but it has plenty of problems and a few of them bother me just a little more than a handful of racists living in rural Appalachia. Keep it coming, guys. Your city is no more a shining beacon of hope and virtue than anywhere else, no matter how many times you insist otherwise (and we know you will, because you do it constantly at every opportunity you think you can justify).
There are some people who prefer the outright racists because then at least they know where they stand vs. the unintentional racism of white liberal guilt.
There have been alot of separatist movements by all races. One philosophy is that in a racist society, the dominant culture would never allow minorities the chance to elevate themselves to an equal level. So by practicing separatism, they would be able to build up their society/economy and interact with others on an even playing field instead of being viewed as 'lesser than'. (Better to be separate and equal than integrated and shat upon)
Malcom X preached similar philosophies during his early years.

This. I've never met a racist who owned up to it - it's as if they're strangely ashamed of their own hate. Why do you think that is?
Well I was kidding but I probably wasn't kidding for that church
Yes this.
The fact that people are brushing this off as 'Silly racists! So cute' is terrible.

The fact that people such as you feel they have some right to quash them is just as terrible. Look in the mirror.
Are you familiar with the presidency of Barack Obama?
One of the dudes daughters. She brought some African dude to church and people got PISSED. I haven't really met any overt racists in my life, I think it would be fun.
It depends on how many are with you.
If alone "fun" turns into a minimum of "slightly worried".
What the fuck?
I meant to put an explanation point after my sentence regarding the one drop rule. But I am aware of Obama. Sad that he was forced and felt comfortable being identified as black rather than identifying biracial. Well there isn't even an option to begin with. Sad case that biracial's (black/white) have to identify as being "black" because of a stupid rule. I don't have a problem with it per se. But I want to honor both parents for their open minded decision to love one another for their character and not skin color.
This is exactly how racism works here in southeastern Kentucky. Most people don't dislike people of color, they just see them as somethig different and lesser than they are. (Which I guess is how racism works everywhere).

sounds like they're the true Christians and the other people are just word twisters.
Not commenting on the Baptist part, but how are the rest of us twisting things regarding racism?

Unfortunately the only decent people I know from Louisville is a girl I went to college with and Godfather...
speaking of which, Godfather, when are we playing some xbox live?
Wow, people. "A implies B" is not equivalent to "not A implies not B".

It's all about tolerance until you don't like what someone else has to say or thinks.
Louisville is a great city. It's just ridiculous to think it's the only city that matters in KY. All of Central KY is pretty much on the same level. Louisvile is just a bigger Lexington (Much better downtown).
Tons of money throughout the whole Central KY area & Louisville would be floundering without the economies of the other cities. That's why it has a business partnership with Lexington right now.

To anyone who hasn't been down to Appalachia and calling everyone down there a bunch of racists, have you been there? Do you know anyone from Appalachia? The nicest people I've ever met have been from Hazard, Kentucky.
There's something special about Eastern Kentucky. Many of the families that live in Eastern Kentucky have been there for hundreds of years, mine included. And while I didn't grow up in Hazard, but a little north of Lexington, we visited numerous times as I was growing up, there's just something about that place.
It has it's own culture and way of life. I know there are going to be countless on here saying, "Yea they have a culture of racism and a way of life that promotes racism!" Again I'll just say this, who do you know from Eastern Kentucky? You're going to judge an entire group of people off the actions of around 10 or so people?
How is your judgment of everyone from Kentucky any different if people judge you because where you're from?
