Almost on a weekly basis.
I remember one meeting where I had worn a black suit with a black shirt. An Elder called me into the library and told me that I shouldnt be wearing black to the meeting as the bible tells us that "Black is a rebellious colour" I told my mum (who is black) and all the black brothers and sisters what this Elder stated. That night the Elder came around to our house and told me off for lying!!
My sister was dating an Elders son. Over dinner the Elder said that he hoped his son didnt marry a black girl because she would end up looking like a "Fat mamma"
The same Elder also made the comment that I was the first black person he'd met that didnt like bananas
During our bookstudy, an elder said that black people are not known for their intellect, but only for their athletic abilites and physical strengh, and what an asset they will be when these ones help in rebuilding the world after Armageddon
When a sister was locked out of her house, a brother phoned and asked me to climb in through her bedroom window. When I asked why their own son couldnt do it, he said that he though "you people" were good at things like that
My mother-in-law warned my wife that black men will always cheat on their wives. It's a cultral thing (She also said that she should be careful on our wedding night because black mens willies were much bigger than that of white men..Cant argue with that!!)
One Elder refused to let his daughter date a black brother saying that mixed marrages never work. He even wrote him a letter saying that he should keep away from his daughter because of his colour. She then married a much older white brother and the marriage lasted about a year
Our congregation consisted of 50% white and 50% non white, and yet we had no black elders and no black MS. No black brothers held any positions. Eventually a Black brother stormed through the ranks and became an MS then Elder, then missionary, then CO. The common conscenus was that he brown-nosed his way to the top. (They failed to realise that he was the most intelligent, funny, interesting, caring person any of us had met at a KH)
When money went missing from the contribution box, only the black members of our book study were questioned
I could go on and on and on and on
