Most conservative White people would prefer an equally qualified Black person over an equally qualified White person. Liberals just prefer the minority regardless of if they're the best person for the job, but when both options are equal, even so-called "racist" White people seem to support a minor form of affirmative action.
Even the very few White people who generally hold negative feelings towards minorities seem to love being proven wrong with individual examples. They'll always give extra support to the minority who bucks what they see as the norm.
So I'm reluctant to believe that racism as taught in schools even exists. The most racist people I've known irl just hold negative stereotypes and are more than happy to recognize people who don't adhere to them.
Admit it, you go to the black church for the music, nothing else.
you couldn't be more wrong. its simply the best, most powerful and most Biblical church I've ever encountered, by an incredibly wide margin. Based AF.
there's music too, and its an important component, but its not what you're picturing, and makes up just 15 or 20 minutes of a 4-hour service.
