He's now resorted to strawmen, ad hominems, and purely emotional [typed] outbursts. Weird.
Please note that this man boasts that when he goes to Latin America he DELIBERATELY selects places with small black populations. He doesn't want to be around blacks. He then sets himself up as an expert in the self identities of peoples with some visible African descent in these countries.
He pretends as if the rampant skin colorism which separates the people who manifest different skin tones, hair textures and facial features doesn't exist.
The man is seriously claiming that a Colombian woman looking like Alicia Keyes will identify with Viola Davis.
Hell even in the one drop USA Viola speaks of skin colorism AMONG black Americans. ODR does NOT apply in Latin America in areas with high Afro descendant populations.
Good to know. Honestly.... I seriously have NO desire to be waudering around through the American South. ..
You know what is interesting. Blacks are leaving "liberal" places like Chicago, NYC, LA and Seattle, and even Austin TX, and are headed to Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Charlotte, NC.
Now why are blacks doing this if the South is so terrible? Are they going to small towns in the South? No. But if you think that small towns in the Midwest are any better than those in the South you are mistaken.
In fact a mere 20 years ago CARIBBEAN blacks were being firebombed by Italian Americans for moving into parts of Brooklyn. And even today racist incidents still happen on Long Island.
Racism in the North can be every bit as vicious as one can find in the South.
It is in fact to be noted that some of the cities with the HIGHEST levels of racial segregation in fact are in the BLUE states. NYC, Chicago and LA being among them.
Interesting that a southern white President, Bill Clinton gets blacks while the northern white liberal, Kerry didn't. In fact Hillary had to learn from her husband how to be comfortable around blacks.
Many say the same of Christianity as well. The Exorcist movie should inform Catholics that their religion isn't above dabbling with spirits. Certainly it is easy to prove that certain elites have used religion to brainwash impoverished peoples in ways that have been very damaging to them. Ditto with evangelicals who spread the notion of "its God's Will" which has damaged the psyche of many poor believers in getting agency in their own lives to overcome their problems. And certainly certain Christian denominations have OPENLY instigated the attempted murder of gays in places like Jamaica, Nigeria and Uganda.
So its very hypocritical of certain Christians to attack these traditional religions when Christianity can be similarly indicted.
Santeria is a branch of Catholicism. Just as most saints were greek and roman gods thet were reinvented, so happens bith most saiinta of African origin.

Santeria is a religious practice that incorporates aspects of Yoruba religious rituals. It had to hide in Catholicism as it was banned. So orishas were disguised as saints.
One can argue that Catholicism is a branch of Santeria but then I suspect that you wouldn't like that.
I could not care less as I'm not religious.
Catholicism has assimilated hundreds of religions.
The same words indicates its meaning: santeria.
Not banned, at least in Spanish America, they weren't even considered by the Inquisition as they were/are Catholics.

If you don't care then don't post because you're just typing misinformation.

All orishas are saints and every deity is a saint which is worshipped in a sincretic way in catholic churches, say, santa barbara, san lazaro, la virgen de la caridad del cobre.
As such, is Catholicism, as Catholicism is sincretic.
