      If you are sitting on that stage as anything but a BLACK AMERICAN speaking about how you THINK the Black Church represent our people, you're cosplaying and committing identity theft that Black Americans are not going for anymore. If you're Caribbean or African, your culture and how this topic represents you and your family dynamics is the ONLY experience you can speak too!

      I did appreciate it, though he could have given a simpler explanation of why. It's simply the fact that her blackness is the first thing people will see when she walks into a room. It's human nature to label someone, and frankly, most people will label a black woman as loud and aggressive. They don't care if she gardens, paints, or sells houses. The only thing they see until she speaks is that she is a black woman.

    I’m not black and cannot speak on that, but I will say, the mediator took a lot of time to let the atheists speak first. ALWAYS said “let them finish” before one of the Christian’s could speak and then cut to the next prompt before we saw a response. I know they had to edit this down, but even referencing “a lesser of two evils…” no follow up questions for the Christian’s. Doesn’t seem to be an unbiased discussion

      It can be rude to assume another person's religious outlook. And sometimes a non-religious person is highly aware of the forceful nature of religion due to trauma.
      Despite claims that religion is peaceful, many places in the world suffer from religious dogma, and non-adherence resulting in corporal punishment. As an ex-Muslim, being told things like "Ramadaan kareem" reminds me of the fact that parents can beat their children for not fasting or being given a kiss on the cheeks after someone came from prayer reminds me of how I was beat up by my father for not making solaah because the Quran told my parents to do so. I saw many Muslim friends badly beat up by a father who took things too far. Mine did the same. Every religion has it's problems like this - and while most atheists have very rational reasons for exiting the religion, some remain scarred.
      Some atheists are passionate about a world where we don't assume that everyone simply thinks like us, a world where we're curious about the other person. Objectivity and individuality will always be squashed with a mindset where a religious person walks down the street, sees someone who looks like them and so feels camaraderie in their assumption that they're of the same faith.
      Religion is often psychologically damaging to many people - no doubt, it offers peace to many as well. But these are important discussions that are being sacrificed due to the skewed mindset on part of the religious person and prioritizing niceties on part of the atheist. If many atheists can show interest and respect for who the next person is and what their views are, then that stops them from showing the same for us?

    Ethiopia is the second-oldest Christian country in the world. Armenia is the first. Africa was one of the first places Christianity flourished. And Roxy made some great points about individuality and identity.

      Northeast Africa has always been a stronghold of Christianity until relatively recently. The Nubians followed the same form of Christianity as Ethiopia and were able to defeat the first Caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, twice in war until it broke from instability after nearly 1,000 years.
