As much as I know you don't want to hear this...but I am one of those pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption evangelicals..there are more of us out here than you think.
Most crimes are commited within the same ethnic group across the board.....expect for Native Americans who are the victims of white criminals moreso than other Native American criminals. Black on Black crime is nothing more than a racist notion.
Yeah , they don't realize that black criminals don't have the gas money to rob in the suburbs anymore.. Gas too damn high... They keep having to rob the same mfers now over and over...:grin:
Actually, in predominantly white environments, we kind of team up with hispanics. And accented middle-easterners are pro-actively nice, so we reciprocate. We must be good at compartmentalizing, because it's almost mathematically impossible for us to outwardly antagonize all non-blacks. Kind of like a school teacher in Detroit.
Really? I've seen hispanics lean more towards the whites. Many are in fact white, actually. I sense tension between blacks and hispanics
try not to let your bias against religion (which i share) prejudice you towards the religious, including christians.
^ No more than the usual tension among ppl. I can't say that I've felt any hostility from the hispanic ppl I've encountered with the exception of a few.
If they're high enough on the food chain they might interact more with whites, or if they're not in a big city or a border state then there's probably no ethnic subculture to be corralled into, but they have more flexibility than us in that regard. Blacks and whites can alternately feel each other out and build a connection, or just completely, totally ignore each other.
I have no statistics on this but I know that there are several churches that will perform gay marriages. I think there is a big split in the among the Episcopal / Anglican Church over this.
see this is what i'm talking about. i don't disagree on the church thing but i'm talking how people treat each other in the hood where i'm from and you're not. believe, i know more about than you
