7. I had a brother-in-law who lived in Alabama for over 35 years. He was a Catholic Friar.

He basically worked helping the poor, including both White and Black. He saw some change in the attitudes of the White folks, but concluded that it was mostly superficial. What troubled him was the level of ignorance that prevailed and fueled the racism. He passed away two years ago and when I attended his funeral I could not help from thinking, although he had aided hundreds, it hadn't really significantly changed the situation. This was reinforced in my discussions with several Black Catholic priests who attended his service. I didn't know one priest, over the years of those I met while visiting, that was a Republican. The were appalled by the system that prevailed and all expressed their displeasure with the obstructionism that prevented the poor working class from getting a fair share of the fruits of their labor. The general contentious was that the Whites were superior and those who were suffering were responsible for their own plight. Reagan's "welfare queens driving Cadillacs" dog-whistle was alive and well.
