I was anticipating someone would do an article about that "close to sinful" remark and interpret it deliberately, tragically wrong.

They are fake Christians, they are cherry picking Bible quotes out of context ...

Welcome to practically every sect of Christianity. Some of them are abhorrent, others less so, and some are pretty okay. No need to do the "No True Scotsman" thing.

Myself, I don't find it important at all for my identity. MY identity is just what I do and think. What's between my ears is more important than what's between my legs and the color of my skin is of no importance at all. I'm a 72 year old man who struggled with gender Identity as a young teen and my family is multi racial, so I've seen it all. I never really fit in anywhere but learned to cope with it.

Race was created for the sole purpose of enslavement Why hang on to it? At this point, I'd wager safely that over 50% of Americans could not pass the one drop rule. So what are you?Most of the "Black" people I see are quite obviously of mixed European and African heritage. Obama, for example had a White mother and an African father and was raised in a White family, so why should he be considered "Black"?

Thank you. Just because something is a social construct doesn't mean that it isn't real. While the genetic differences between races aren't as significant as most people think, the experiences of those who suffer from white supremacy are undeniable.
