Remember this famous Baptist ? A Former Governor of Georgia, Lester Maddox

April of 1964, more African-Americans attempted to enter the restaurant. Maddox confronted the group, brandishing a handgun. Maddox provides the following account of the events:

Mostly customers, with only a few employees, voluntarily removed the twelve Pickrick Drumsticks (pick handles) from the nail kegs on each side of the large dining room fireplace. They had been forewarned by the arrival of Atlanta's news media of an impending attempted invasion of our restaurant by the racial demonstrators and once the demonstrators and agitators arrived, the customers and employees pulled the drumsticks from the kegs and went outside to defend against the threatened invasion.

Unable to win his case, he became a martyr to states-rights advocates by selling the restaurant to employees rather than bowing to government coercion to serve black customers.

Are any of these people presently running for President?

I didn’t think so.

Point out all the racist politicians you want, it doesn't change the fact that it is not doctrine of any main line Catholic or Protestant church. The only church that had it as official doctrine was the one being discussed in this article.

The doctrine that Romney will not renounce and according to the article is still being taught to this day even if it's not official doctrine.
