Anyway, sometimes I think JWs are okay with blacks/hispanics as long as they stay in their place, i.e. not dating my kid, sometimes that's when their true feelings come out.
I totally agree with this,,,,,,, at least in the area I am from. I can pick up on any little thing , a eye roll, an ever so slight frown, and I saw it many times with at least one of the elders in the last congregation I went to. His parents were the same way. They did just as you said, they took the young black sistes in , made over them, but when one started getting interested in their son,,,,,,,,you didnt see that young sister in their car group anymore, or at their parties. They lived in a town up the road for us, that is very racial , ( it is almost all white in town, not so in the town above this town , or below, my town) they are so racial they will not advertise their homes to be sold or rented because they will not rent to a black family, or sell, even if they would their neighbors would cause so much trouble. I used to get very angry while out in service in this territory, because they acted like any black person that came to their house was going to steal their car or something, calling the law for us just being on the street. They were so bold as to say they didnt think that whites and black should hang out together. I just dont get it, and it is embarassing to live so close to such bigots.
It was even worse to see these attitudes come over into the congregation, I just could not respect that elder for the way he looked down on others. He was quick to say who was "white trash" as well.
I am glad that my son chose not to go to that school for that very reason.
