It's obvious reading social media, including this publication, that bigotry and racism are still present in our society. I would be very interested to hear what has your clergy person said about this topic and what
"take away" points did you glean?

The question suggests an end result being sought is, the total elimination of bigotry and racism.
Statiscaly and realistically ....unrealistic!

Most of what we hear is from MSM and a faction we can't talk about and when losing an argument playing the race card-- no matter the race of the accuser.
Every time I hear the word racist, I tend to give it NO credence at all because it is SO overused.

Now where have I heard that before?

BTW would you agree that our society is so much better now than say 60 years ago?

We had been moving in the right direction until fairly recently.

It is a real shame that it is "overused" and still even being used.

I like the words "tolerance" and "understanding"

Doesn’t that depend on your definition of the problem? Some people live in denial. Or redefinition. I have noticed a huge drop in Covid cases in Florida in the last few days. Could it be a redefinition of who has Covid? Maybe what is Covid at all? In N Korea there is none at all.

Clergy has a wonderful ability to define problems in their ways sometimes. Depends on your faith.

If we are purposely reducing testing, then cases better drop.

That was the only motivation behind the changes made, albeit quietly.

Yes, in economics we referred to these types of measures as “rubber rulers”. Forgive my scepticism no one wants Florida free of Covid more than I do.

What has the clergy said?

"Please send donations!"

Jesus said "love one another...as I have loved you"
Not that Jesus didn't get impatient or angry from time to time at trying to bring 12 non scholars up to speed

Another meaningless cliche.

Has the clergy even spoken about this in their sermons?

I remember a sermon when I was a teenager in rural Missouri with this very topic. The minister actually had the foresight of racial entitlement--not 'white privilege' that is being thrown around by MSM and a segment of society today but the beginning of the reparation talk and how misguided it was.
