The post was written by a black woman, about black atheists. If you remove the word "black" then she is talking about atheists in general, not black atheists. This was not her argument. She was arguing that in black communities, coming out as an atheist is considered more "incorrect" than in other communities.
Dotard Wrote:The article you referance I label ignorant racist poo-poo. It was akin to discussing the cultural ostracization of mexicans who are not eating beans and tortillas.What??? A black woman talking about black people is racist? She mentions white people once in her article, referring to he religious whites that used the bible to condone slavery. This is a fact, not an opinion. I hardly see how that can be construed as racist...
Since when did it become racist to talk about the differences between people of different races? Racism is discrimination, it doesn't ban people from talking about their cultures.
