Confronting Hate Speech

Robert Parham has posted an Op-Ed that deserves wide circulation. He's concerned that Baptists are doing too little to contain an outbreak of hate speech against immigrants:

While Baptists are rushing about trying to protect themselves from the swine flu virus, we are letting another virus go unchecked. We are witnessing a pandemic in conservative America of hate-speech against Mexicans. Unless we contain that virus, it will replicate itself a hundredfold in Baptist churches—if it hasn’t already done so.
