A white church leader in North Carolina has partnered with a local woman to approach the problem that way, hosting weekly Racists Anonymous meetings modeled after 12-step programs that help people deal with alcohol, drugs, overeating and sex addiction. The group's creation, in part at least, seems to have been spurred by recent police shootings.

Rev. Nathan King of Trinity United Church of Christ in Concord, N.C. tells WCNC-TV that the group began after, "It seemed like every week we were coming into worship and we were doing another prayer because someone had been killed in the street. ... It's to deal with the racism within ourselves and to eliminate the racism within ourselves."

The group reportedly sits in a circle of chairs, drinks coffee, and introduces themselves by first name before saying, "and I'm a racist."

What happens when you relapse? LOL

its probably just a bunch of people who didn't want to stop drinking so they left AA and decided to blame their Living Problems on Black people.

Really? I wouldn't guess that considering Concord Mills and the Speedway are both there.
 
Wonder if there's all different types of people who hate different races in that group, not just whites hating blacks

Need the transcripts

How many racist people would even show up to this though? They hate the word racist, even though they damn well know they are.

Like some kind of life changing event????

Or like an epiphany ? Lol

The only person I can think of is former US senator Robert Byrd. He was a former KKK member but I'm not sure what really caused him to change his views. Nothing can erase that part of his history but he at least tried his best in the remainder of his life to speak out against the KKK and their values and apologize repeatedly for what he had done.
That's probably extremely rare though

I bet better dialogue happens there than on social media and even amongst those who say they are about equal rights but are still afraid of minorities behind closed doors and when no one is around *cough* liberals *cough*.

I would feel a bit better if maybe the church wasn't involved and if I knew an enlightened person was leading the discussion.

I'm optimistic though. Hope it works out.

Probably the same thing religious people feel when they stop tripping on gay folk.

An epiphany filled with euphoric common sense and human decency.
