Very true.
Where there is statism, there is strife. Where there is Christ, there is harmony and love.
Dallas and Houston, as well as the rest of Texas, have VERY integrated and loving church communities. I can't imagine existing any other way.
I'm most familiar with Dallas, having lived there for 20 years. Unfortunately, the inner city has been degrading (crime, education achievement, entrepreneurial progress) in direct proportion to militant black activism (e.g. John Wiley Price and Al Lipscomb). Same with Houston. I lived there for a little while in the boom years. Also, I grew up around Detroit in the 60's through the late 70's. There was a TOTAL, multidimensional collapse during that time because of militant race hustlers taking down the pillars of economic progress.
I Lived in Baton Rouge for 5 years. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Even though the public schools were lacking, there was a much more homogenous desire to become educated and achieve. There was also a deeply rooted respect for others, especially elders and those in authority - regardless of race or social status. I developed more deeply rooted friendships across all colors and religious persuasions in a short time than any other place I've lived. The acceptance of me and my family was based on a widespread practice of Christian love and respect by most in the region.
That's why "the south", is now the last, best hope for the American Dream of liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all persuasions.
