I know racism when I see it.
Pastor Makeda Pennycooke of a church in North Carolina wanted to present the best face to the public because "first impressions matter". Pennycooke is African American. She asked that her white congregants greet people at the door. That's racism in my book.
"We are continuing to work to bring our racial demographic pendulum back to mid-line," she wrote. "So we would like to ask that only white people be on the front doors."
Carmen Thomas, who has attended and served at the church for the past two years, told WBTV that she was "floored" by the request.

My advice to the members of Freedom House Church is simple. Your pastor is a dumbass and is a ignorant racist
Logging you in...

I agree with you on the first part and disagree on the second. Not to split hairs but being a racist implies you think that one race is superior to another where as pastor Pennycooke is simply trying to make white parishioners feel more comfortable going to the Freedom House Church or, at least that's what her motivation seems to be as far as I'm concerned.
