    You think Africans, of all people would be sympathetic, to a discriminated group of people.

    No, sadly many of the closed-minded African-Americans even consider us a lesser class and fail to see the similarities both have faced. Sure we haven't faced slavery but we did face crap like the Holocaust and such. But it just isn't enough...

    religion itself is not inherently evil; it is what people do with it that defines the morality or lack thereof.

    there is alot of evil that doesnt stem from religion.

    but bigottry rarely stems from secular sources.
