‘Out of the Closet’ — Black Atheists
#12
RE: ‘Out of the Closet’ — Black Atheists
True I thought it was the OP's words at first. My bad.

I disagree it is not racist just because a member of a race is discussing members of their race. Is it racist if I say "Mexicans are inherently more lazy than white folk."? Would it now be not racist if a mexican said mexicans are inherently more lazy than white folk?

I do not buy that black folk are inherently more religious than (insert race of choice here) just because a black woman said so. Is it not racist of me to say white folk are more hard-working and cleaner than (other race) just because I, as a white man, am saying it? And I'm speaking about the white race here, a white man talking about white people, so it's not racist right? AmIdoinitrite?

So no, it makes no never-mind that a black woman said it, remove the word "black" and it makes no differance in the points of the article. "Coming out" as an Atheist, no matter the race is no more or less "wrong" in the eyes of their community based on nothing more than the color of their skins.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
