valley racism

amanda sent me to a blog regarding an act of racism in the central valley. i am sad that a church would be this unaware and insensitive to the continual effects skits like this might have on the people in their church and the community. intentional or not, acts like this foster racism. the religious community as a whole should be fostering reconciliation, not creating further divisions between people of different races, ethnic groups, economic backgrounds, etc. i could go on and on, but this is supposed to be a website about marcus, not my frustrations, so i will leave it at that.
i am planning to voice my concern to the church and ask that you do the same if you feel compelled. i have their contact information, as well as the other blog, below.

here's link to the blog: http://urbanknowledge.blogspot.com/
