Ya know this works both ways.

In the 1800s while the U.S. Government was enforcing segregation, some private colleges refused to comply and had fully black-white integration, even when the U.S.G. threatened them

It's all about control. Stand against tyranny,

[Qidron]

Best part: "What translation do you read??"

Why is Steve picking on Greenville?

Now this is something I can agree with: Steve Taylor singing about the evils of Christian racism.

[BethelAbba]

This was back when Christian music really had some incredible depth and punch... Man I miss Steve and wish he'd do another album.

Just pride in your heritage thats all right? i mean really.... if you could do anything else but regurgitate lines from mississippi burning , i might blow my brains out!!!!!!! dude youre just a pawn, just a tool of a dead idea. a dead BAD idea at that. the idea that you are

[virulence1986]

@machinator1971 this dude is a racist (card carrying member no doubt). and just a jerk in general. i mean who posts on a steve taylor video saying how dumb and wrong steve taylor is? a lonely racist! thats who! just check out his youtube page and i defy you to tell me you didnt peg him within 2 seconds! I GOT YOUR NUMBER MACHINATORGUY! your fighting a losing battle man... the world is sick of the kkk, nazis, skinheads and their sympathizers. and dont think even for one second that the bible

[WillOrng]

@machinator1971 In christ we are all equal. Racial segregation on buses etc was so not racist? it certainly wasn't Christian. Ruth wasn't a Hebrew, Jews are only one tribe of Israel

[saipanrick]

Ironically, the producer of this record was a member of the KKK and other white supremacist groups (unknown to Taylor at the time).

@mlukas - Okay, you need a Bible and a dictionary for understanding of which you obviously have none. Racist = someone that considers their own race is superior to another. Disallowing interracial dating doesn't meet that criteria, duh. Secondly, the Moses argument is so far over your head you'll probably never get it. BTW, try some basic geography and population studies from that time. You just might be surprised at what you find. Oh, and the Jews were told by God NOT to mix with other nations.

[mlukas]

@machinator1971 Of course it is racist. What planet are you from? In disallowing members of different races from dating you are, by action, showing racism. You are saying through archaic rules and actions that people of different colors don't "belong together" which IS racist. Even worse, it is done in a university which is suppose to be "Christian". If these morons who ran this so called school read their bibles they would realize that Moses married an Ethiopian. Are they smarter than Moses?
