@Thomas,
And, here for the folks here, is my Facebook reply which will be my last word on this subject. Cheers.
You could be right, a father is a powerful influence..let's keep watch.
Bill (America's real first black President ~heh)Clinton is a bad example to choose, as a sitting Governor of the State of Arkansas,(that's where Eisenhower had to Nationalize the Arkansas Guard troops and send in the 101st Airborne in 1957) Clinton personally negotiated an end to some serious racial disputes and promoted the establishment of black businesses. There is no question of his Civil Rights stance from very early in his life.
Baptists, Southern and otherwise, are a bad example too,Jimmy Carter, Shirley Chisholm and, for crying out loud, Martin Luther King, Jr were all Baptists. The SBC's racism, for which they apologized some years back, did not always trickle down to the individual congregations, all of whom defend their right to be independent seekers of Christ's Word. That's why their conventions are always so lively.
When I worked with the poor in West Texas in the late 60s -early 70s I met few racist Christians (a contradiction in terms if there ever was one.) none of them were Southern Baptists.
