Solange Knowles describes negative experience at concert

While church hopping to find a church home after a PCS move, my wife and I got to an unknown church a little late. I did not know what an A.M.E church was, so in we went. We were the only 4 white people in a church service with about 300 in attendance. The pastor interrupted the sermon and welcomed us in. He actually left the dais and escorted us to some seats near the front. There was a little bit of giggling and a lot of smiling. When he started up, the 1st thing he said was "Brothers and sister, it appears we have some cornflakes swimming in our bowl of raisins." My wife and I were hooked. That was our church home until our next PCS move. My brother-in-law lives in the area now and when we visit we still go to services at our A.M.E. church home. I take it as a sign of progress that about 10% of the congregation is now white.

I feel uncomfortable around all people no matter what they look or dress like.....I grew up around a few people that didn't feel one way or the other because the area we lived and went to school in was very mixed and no one hated on the other for the most part. there are small towns all over the south where no one gives a flippin hairy rats behind who you are, you are welcome! Shhhh the media doesn't want people to know that.....
