Prejudice in the Pews -
December 2nd, 2011
Welcome, friends, to Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church, a place of love, compassion and… holy sh*t, who let the interracial couple in? Uh, heh, heh, no big deal folks, no big deal, just seems a might unnatural is all. But hey, all are welcome here, even you two, sorta. Just promise us you won’t participate in the service or try to become members.
And so it sadly goes in Pike County, KY for a small group of redneck congregants who don’t mind a little bible learnin’ so as long as it doesn’t get in the way of their bigotry. Heaven help us.

After marrying in Washington, DC in 1958, Richard Loving — who was white — and his wife, Mildred — who was black — were arrested at their home, jailed, then banished from the state of Virginia for 25 years because of their interracial union.
In 1967 the Supreme Court overturned their conviction and ended anti-miscegenation laws in more than a dozen other states.

The big picture is often ignored by small minds. Someone needs to tell the hateful hicks at GFBC to ask themselves what would Jesus do, not Jim Bob. Love who you want! |
