The fat white guy


When Ray changed his mind about performing in that racist place.The fat guy said something about Ray finding religion.What does not wanting to perform in a racist place have to do with being religious?

reply

It was just a figure of speech.

If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador?

As Duragizer said, it was a figure of speech. The guy was complaining that Ray suddenly "found religion" or saw the light (another Christian figure of speech). In other words, Ray was seeing the truth of what the protesters were saying - that it was wrong to perform in segregated Georgia (figures of speech like these being common in a southern bible belt state like Georgia, of course).
