Here’s an interesting passage from this Journal article on the formation of a group to combat institutional racism:
The Rev. Kelly Carpenter, the senior pastor at Green Street United Methodist Church, said that progress to reduce institutional racism would be slow.
Many of the organizations in the county were created to allow a mostly white male population to hold onto power, he said, and getting such people to give up their power will not be easy.
It might have to be pried from their cold, dead, white hands.
