Some people in the Southern states of the USA really need to get a grip on the 21st century and stop living in their forefathers past.
Unfortunately it goes on everywhere, SAD!

A controversial pastor's conference welcoming only "white Christians" is underway in Lamar County, Ala., upsetting residents of the nearby town of Winfield in the western part of the state.
Christian Identity Ministries is holding a three-day conference for so-called "white Christians" who contend they have been treated unfairly, the Rev. Mel Lewis told local TV station WSFA. Lewis, the organizer and keynote speaker, says they have the right, like any other Americans, to worship how they wish.
Ku Klux Klan flags and white supremacy slogans surround the conference, which will conclude with a cross being set on fire Friday night. Organizers say it's not a cross-burning, but rather sacred Christian cross lighting.
"We are not breaking any laws. We're not violating any ordinances. We're bringing the Word of God to people who want it, obviously, or they wouldn't be here," Lewis told the TV station.
Lewis said of the conference-goers: "They are part of the chosen race."
The mayor of nearby Winfield said residents are upset, and the event does not represent their town in any way.
"Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this," Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas told another local TV station, WECT.
"It's surprising to see something like that in our town," said Tyler Cantrell. "I know it's been here in the past."
Organizers say their ministry is not a hate group and that although there is a strong KKK presence, the Klan did not sponsor the event.
It's not right, but neither are all the "so-called" minorities excluding whites, which is blatantly done in television, publishing, and a number of other areas. At one point in time it might have been about creating equality, nowadays it's time to start reigning-in the reverse discrimination. More like it is time to find an all inclusive middle ground for all races, based more upon performance than color of skin.

OK...so this is a KKK Rally under the guise of a white Christian conference. Nice. They are as crazy as al-Quaeda!!!!
and BTW- NO I am not OK with the KKK! Or any white supremacy group! - They are all Whako!!!!!!!!
Any Christian that is crazy enough to believe that God favors a certain color skin doesn't know God!!!

Seems he has taken a page from Obama's preacher's play book.
If you have even been in a black church you will here anti-white preachers all the time.
That is why I left my church back in the eighties, to join and integrated UCC church.

Perhaps it is a conference of albinos, these are the only true whites; all the rest of us have pigmented skin.
