I think maybe you are being a tad protectionist! I'm sure JR can explain his post, which to me is racist. Hopefully JR can clarify whether it is or not?
I think racism is pretty important and not to be skated around.
Hi all who undestood my post as racistic.
I fully and definitely apologize to all who interpreted my saying about black politicians as a hint of them as being undereducated or under intelectual or any 'Under" whatsoever,and I'm declaring loud and clear that it was not my intention to make any offense to non-white people.
I plainly stated in both my posts that I am antiracist which is not an understatement but a true trait of my thinking.
I mentioned the failure of Mandela and other black politicians as a fact
of a personal matter without any connection to the colour of their skin,they could be from that point of view one-eyed or three-legged
or else.
I truely believe that my statement wil bring us back to friendly debates
about the problems of atheism,against religious hypocrisy which is the real issue of this thread
