That's cute. You have more melanin than me, boot lick and utilize white supremacists websites. For the last time, stop wasting your time, you're not going to get me on board with man made religion bullshit anymore. I'm happy where I am and I love who I am.
What you're doing here is tap dancing for the white man. That's pretty disgusting.
Assuming that you're not trolling, I have a couple things to say:
1. When did I ever say that I have more melanin than you? All I said was that I did have it in my skin as a black person when you said I "lack these melanin juices that [you] have." Are you trying to imply I'm colorist or something, because I DESPISE that nonsense as a guy who is a bit on the lighter side anyway. Black people come in all different kinds of shades, and I love and respect each and every one of them.
2. I absolutely do not deny that lots or racists and white supremacists use 4chan, but I never even post on the site, I just lurk the blue board (SFW boards) on there to see conversations about stuff I like, such as the cartoons & comics board /co/, who are generally far less racist and try-hard edgy then say, /v/. It's also useful for obtaining media through ... less than legal means, especially in regards to how several streaming sites are just removing their shows without any care in the world, potentially making them lost media. As my earlier post said, I never visit the really racist ones like /pol/.
3. I am certainly not a bootlick. Besides my religious classes, many of my college classes were centered on Black History, the African Diaspora, various African cultures, Black liberation, and Black Liberation theology. I well recognize the damage done to us and continues to be done to black people groups by imperialism, colonialism, racism, segregation, etc., and I strive to eliminate such evils in the field of study I'm entering. Oh, but because I'm religious/a Christian, I'm automatically a no good, Uncle Tom race traitor who is setting our people back years by just existing. I guess MLK and Malcom X were also bootlicks as well.
4. I'm not trying to "get you on board" or convince you to become religious. I'm just calling you out when you said that I and religious people aren't living happy lives and that we don't know what our religions actually are. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely people who are oppressed and denied being allowed to express themselves because of religion, but it's rather rude to assume that EVERY religious person that were was, is, and will be is living such as life. I also know there are a LOT, A LOT of ignorant religious people, but there are several people who are also well-educated in the matters of their faith, and I personally consider myself to mostly be one. Also, I'm happy you're happy and accept that there are plenty of non-religious/atheist people who are living the best of their lives and I hope they continue to do so; just don't assume that I'm not happy because I choose to be religious.
