Amen, Uncle Dave. My father was a Wesleyan Methodist, and bigoted! He didn't care for my Catholic wife and her father almost died when we adopted our black foster child. Bigotry was running rampant! However, my father died loving my choice of a lifemate, and her father died knowing this kind, gentle soul who happened to have been born black, was one of God's creations and he finally accepted him as his grandson. Knowledge will force acceptance, and acceptance will force change. Now we have to pray that change will bring love and understanding.
