Did you ever stop to think that blacks churches exist because they want them?

After all, whites weren’t the only ones forced to integrate.

I remember desegregation. Blacks didn’t like to be forced, at all.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe it should happen.

I mean that it can’t be forced.

That is exactly what i said in reply to my first post. Blacks did not want to lose their churchs and traditional way of worship after desegregation.

Of course! I never meant to imply otherwise. And that’s fine. We worship the same God, but not in the same way. Many of the black churches in our area go in the morning, and stay all day. Lots of different music and customs, too.

Forcing anyone to go to a particular church is one of the big reasons the U.S. exists! None of us wants to be forced to do anything.
