For my part: I can state in all honesty that I have thought no harm, spoken no harm, and done no harm to anyone in my whole life on account race, color or national origin.
I am verbally slapped as a racist by a lady in my own church --- a fellow parishioner --- whenever we have even the slightest disgreement about anything, whether it be choir robes, Latin Mass, or Eric Holder.
Do I still talk to her? Not willingly, not any more. So I suppose that makes me a segregationist, too.
I pray for her well-being and redemption.
When I was in line for the Sacrament of Reonciliation last Saturday, I did see her coming out of the confessional, and her face looked serious. So maybe there´s hope --- for all us sinners.
I can't claim that. In fact I have yelled out an open window to my illegal neighbors: "Go back to Mexico" and various colorful expressions when they were making too much noise. We have also helped them out, on numerous occasions, so I don't know if it all cancels out. Cordial most of the time. Yes, we live in a trailer park.
