If I could have an even mixture of both worlds, I think I could deal with that. One thing about white services, I like the way the preacher teaches. Some ministers don't teach, they do what the black preacher does. I've watched the audience and they only come alive when the preacher is hoopin' , what did they learn, if anything, could they even tell you the subject or the points? What they normally say is, "He sho did preach", well what did he say, I don't remember, but "He sho did preach". That's why the church is in the state it is in, no one wants to study and listen to the Word. Some just come for the weekly experience, and leave out the same way we can, empty.

We are segregated because we worship differently. Our style of preaching, singing and worshipping is totally different. I wouldn't give up the black service experience for anything. Twice a year, I witness interracial service at Kids Across America, which is a stew of both types, I love the worship service, and some of the worship songs are typically white however there's a special soul flair in it. I also attend a NANC conference where the praise and worship is totally different, it is more serene. Black churches are more passionate and full of soul.

I am told it was the only time people could dress up on Sunday, since they worked in the fields during the week. I was always taught to wear your very best. You know we may look good on the outside, but we are rotten to the core on the inside, while we past judgement on others. Well, I wear whatever, because my focus is on my insides not my outsides. Whatever I wear, I still look good :).
