Pike church takes stand against interracial marriageThe article points out that this is the same county where the Hatfields and McCoys had their famous feud.
"A small Pike County church has voted not to accept interracial couples as members or let them take part in some worship activities.
The decision has caused sharp reaction and disapproval in the Eastern Kentucky county."
The good news? Most Kentuckians disapprove and are embarrassed by this overt racism.
"It sure ain't Christian. It ain't nothing but the old devil working."Amen to that!
"Most of us thought that we'd moved well beyond that."
"It's not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form."
