Crow sister, I truly appreciate your contributions to this thread.

See my post without that one bracket character and instead with a colon or whatever : is called and with a portion written in italics for highlighting.

"I prefer to keep my posts in this thread focused on the main issue that I raised that is: descriptions of the devil being the color black and/or a Black man, and possible psycho-social implications of that description, including negative connotations of the color 'black' itself."

I have placed this limitation on myself because I have a tendency to go off-topic when I read or think of some other aspect of this complex topic of Black racial depictions in European and American culture.

Thanks again.
