    It's also really clear that at some point the respective white churches needed to fully embrace black protestants and latino catholics. If a significant amount of your politics is arbitrarily persecuting even the christians from your own denominaion, it's just too obviously bullshit.

      Lol that will never happen, the folks who are staying around in the white evangelical churches are there for the whiteness of it. That's the big draw. The religion is secondary to the desire to be in a community of people who not only think like themselves, but look like them too.

      Aboht 15-20 years ago, a white church in my town started to see increasing number of black congregants. And wouldnt you know it, as the number of black attendees increased, the number of white attendees quickly decreased. Surely just a coincidence...

      I've seen the catholic church do pretty well with Latino Catholics, because they're the only families still producing priests. Still a lot of "oh, you're one of the good ones."
