Perhaps African Americans Are Finally Catching On

[Athene]

Yes, Christianity was used in the historical oppression of Blacks in this country. Christianity also played an important role in the abolition of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement. People can spin Christianity to suit any number purposes...just as well as they can and DO with atheism. Truth be told, I read and hear LESS about White Nationalists and other intolerant fucks talking up Christianity these days, and more and more of them extolling the virtues of atheism. Go figure.

That of course, is NOT to say that most atheists are drastically bigoted and/or racist. However, the Alt Right movement is run amok with so-called New Atheists who claim that human bigotry is 'natural' and insist that racial/gender intolerance is justified, and they make no secret of their desire to oppress in the name of  junk "race science" and Social Darwinism. Major White Nationalist movements and sites like Stormfront and Daily Stormer, and  MGTOW, Red-Pillers, and incel movements NOW heavily lean atheist. 

Don't believe it? GO LOOK.

And they are slowly but surely drowning out the voices of mainstream liberal and centrist atheists. Young angry white males are "feeling" the messages of fringe atheism in growing numbers, and there doesn't appear to be much mainstreamers can do about it other than ignore it...and happily share the same spaces with them/GIVE THEM PLATFORMS so long as they manage to avoid using the worst slurs, LOL. 

Which is cool. Freedom of speech, down with censorship....I get it. 
These things are important.

Just don't act CONFUSED when folks don't buy your Big Bad Christianity song and dance as you all stand by and give safe harbor to new Big Bads on the block in your mainstream atheist conferences and SM spaces, because most you simply REFUSE to acknowledge the hideously racist and disturbingly misogynistic DOGSHIT that's steadily piling up in your own backyard. 

So I don't doubt that Black believers LAUGH when haughty, self-congratulatory "mainstream" atheists attempt to CHASTISE Blacks like they're stupid fucking children for "identifying with their past oppressors" in simply holding the beliefs that MOST OF THE ADULTS in this country do, when A LOT of the most vile, hate-filled, and dangerous WHITE SUPREMACIST rhetoric being espoused TODAY just "happens" to be coming from atheists.

Hell, it's enough to make me laugh so fucking hard it hurts....and I'm a godless heathen.

So yeah...I would kindly suggest that any "well-meaning" White atheist wanting to make the case for atheism to minorities stick to the BASICS of skepticism/critical thought instead of making emotional appeals based on the -isms of Christianity. 
If that sort of shit's to be done, it's best to left to Black atheists who are quite separate from mainstream atheism and still have a leg to stand on.

If anything, you mainstreamers should be worried about your own. You could very well find yourselves a minority within a minority and outnumbered by "fringe" atheists in as little as a decade or so.
