I am a middle aged white male living in central Mississippi where Baptist churches are still segregated. Yes, still now, in the 21st century, white preachers have told me:
1. God is white.
2. God lets ****ers in heaven, but makes them white 'cause there ain't no ****ers in "their" heaven.
3. Blacks like the current arrangement (segregated churches) and that all are better off for it.
The black churches are identified as "Missionary Baptist" so the white folk don't make any mistakes.
Blacks are also strongly discouraged from attending southern white baptist churches funeral, wedding, or christening services. In my minds eye, I can see the spirits of cloaked clansmen plotting and carrying out lynchings from the pews.
