I’m not sure it ever was going to reach the Florida or Arizona level, but, realistically, most of the nonsense is in a few of the usual-suspects parts of metropolitan areas. Same deal as in quite a few states (maybe not Vermont or South Dakota). Missouri is just the Raaaaaaaacism Industry’s flavor of the month.

Racism, class, money, status, family, education, schools attended, fancy-schmancy cars...it's all good for these very, very few short decades of life we are given on God's good earth.

We are here to emulate Christ and bring His Word to the world, MOSTLY through our own example of Christian living and behavior--thought, word and deed. The human soul had no color, does it? Aren't we all made into the image and likeness of God? SOMETIMES it's not so easy for me to SEE that image/likeness of God in SOME people but I know it's there.

Oh well. I'm glad I'm not in Misourri right now. If I were young and single there I MIGHT think of leaving and moving to "greener pastures."

Not to beat a dead horse, but there is a lot to Missouri beyond the decayed, Section 8-ed parts of metropolitan St. Louis.
