putting the brakes on faith

[Spooky]

i know how you feel. in the south i met someone who believed that other races came from different animals.

It doesn't surprise me. An old man at a warehouse I used to work at said with dead earnestness that black people were black because they bore the mark of Cain. That's the kind of crazy I have to contend with here.

I had a Mormon friend one tell me very seriously that "Black people are descendants of a cursed race."
