You claim that it isn't racist if you are willing to assume that blacks were wicked in the pre-existence, but I say that the very belief that blacks were wicked in the pre-existence is, in itself, racist, and that any thoughts or actions based on that belief would also be racist. |

So creativity in making up a tale to justify racism is bad, but gullibility in believing an obviously false tale that somebody else made up to justify racism is good. Got it.

No, K-Dog is saying that being spectacularly ill-bred and undeducated, being ignorant, is a defense to a charge of racism.

Not assigning bad or good to any of it. Just pointing out that from a logical standpoint there is a difference.

AA, since you are the one who generally plays the peacemaker role, I am a little surprised by this response. SU has as much right to find interest in and explore this topic as we do. He was raised LDS and most of his family is LDS. It is very much a part of his culture and heritage.

I think you're too emotionally involved in this. AA was wrong about you not having a dog in this fight. It seems you can't think when you are this aroused.
