Segregation was once part of god's plan
By VictorM:Republican Mike Huckabee continues to explain why he feels the US Constitution should be lined up with god's standard:
"The Bible was not written to be amended. The Constitution was," Huckabee said. "Without amendments to the Constitution, women couldn't vote, African-Americans wouldn't be considered people. We have had to historically go back and to clarify, because there've been injustices made because the Constitution wasn't as clear as it needed to be, and that's the point."
I think this point is all that we need to say to rebut Mr. Huckbee's moronic position:
What Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist minister, doesn't say: As historian Mark Newman writes, many Southern Baptists once "defended segregation in the sincere belief that it formed part of God's plan for the human race," and sometimes "cited biblical verses" is support of racial separation.
