Fresh off royal sermon, bishop warns 'somebody woke up Jim Crow'
https://cnn.it/2xh11NUWashington (CNN)Less than a week after his star-making sermon at the British royal wedding, Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry set his sights on American politics, leading a church service against what he and other Christian leaders call "a dangerous crisis of moral and political leadership" in churches and government.
"It's like somebody woke up Jim Crow," Curry told CNN in an interview before the Thursday evening service, "and said let's not just segregate Americans over race, let's separate people along religious and political and class lines, too."
Curry said the service and a following candlelight vigil at the White House, along with a statement by Christian leaders, are intended to dig beneath those divisions and remind Christians of Jesus' core values.

yeah, the train always misses with this one. Jim Crow still around. Hateful ignorant bastard(s)! Wish their kind to just go away.
