Once I was visited by an elder who was delighted in the attendance at a newly formed hispanic cong. He described how the hispanics were so hungry for the truth and that they were the ones he was concentrating on. His words were something to the effect: " The hispanic brothers in the congregation showed so much more love and humility than the whites". I felt ashamed after he left for I am white and he is hispanic. I truly believe that if the roles were reversed, I would have been reprimanded.

There was clearly a social division between blacks and whites in my old KH. This was not overt, but the blacks had their own cliques and social events, and the whites had theirs. It was a very clear social line.
