Thread Name: BS: Resolving the Clash of Civilizations
Subject: RE: BS: Resolving the Clash of Civlizations
Not all white Christians but enough to make the trouble long lasting and certainly feed the hate and racism in certain fascist groups worldwide whose members are white and predominately Christian.

I am white, from southeast Virginia and was raised in a Southern Baptist environment. I saw racism first hand in my own church and schools and wider community. I had frequent interaction with racist aunts, uncles and cousins and friends of the family. I heard plenty of generalisations (obviously carried down through generations) about the inferiority, criminal tendencies, etc. of people of color. All of it enough to turn me from the Christian religion and make ashamed to be white before I was even a teenager.

Also part of what I posted previously is a bit of hangover from the thread Azizi mentioned above.
