(11,949 posts)As a white, upper middle class, very southern white male, I detest Farrakhans message. But I realize the lens I see him through... as a white, upper middle class, very southern male.
I know what you mean about the African American community in the South and how socially conservative they can be.
I have often commented that if the republicans could truly ever give up all vestiges of racism and support policies that helped uplift African Americans we would lose some of them over the social positions. Because of necessity the church is very powerful in the life of southern blacks. It was and is a place of refuge.
But then they would not be modern republicans and would lose their entire white base.
I may not agree with you on all issues , but this was a well thought out post.
