For some reason, you think I was calling you ignorant.
It couldn't be farther from the truth.

Don't sell yourself short.

It is ignorance that brings us racism, in the first place.
After your reaction, I must ask then... Are you a racist?

No, I wasn't aiming that at you, I was making a general statement about some of the contributions on the board.

Show me, exactly the statement about the "black lady" until then, the sucking up will be on the other side.

There are none, it's a generalization.

According to the narrow minded, the only Good Christians are Conservative Christians.

Fortunately we are not. We only have ignorance to rely on.
I know people who are literally totally blind who are still racist. Even that wouldn't be enough to get rid of racism altogether.

howest2008 reply...I wasn't speaking for the AA who support Homosexual marriage I was speaking for thoses that ( oppose ) homsexual marriage ( big different )..hum...(???)

And to the OP - logistically speaking, how would one protest an ethnic group? Also, see my above comments. Just as not all black people oppose gay marriage, not all Christians do either... that's why specific organizations, companies, churches, etc, are being targeted in this issue. Do you see people just randomly protesting outside EVERY Christian/Catholic church? We have many gay-friendly churches around here, and I've yet to see anyone protesting around these places.
howest2008 reply...I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Homosexual Church Started Here and for that matter ( The Church of Satan ) was started here. New Flash not all Churches Oppose Homosexual Marriage( lol) , all of my comments where reasons why African American opposed Homosexual Marriages.And just for a side note I had homosexuals neighbors and friends also and feel that they need partnerships and civil unions and not marriages which are for Heterosexuals Couples.
