LINK Falkirk Center: Systemic Racism Is Fake Since Some Black People Are Successful | Beth Stoneburner | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
Last week, six Southern Baptist seminary presidents released a statement claiming that Critical Race Theory was incompatible with Christian teaching.

Is wordpress still going?
I do still find other articles from other sources, but those from Friendly Atheist are just most often the most relevant to this site. I hope my posting their articles helps increase their web traffic, so they can stay in business for a long time.

Will it though, we have laws against it, it just becomes more covert.
Same people who found ways to say slavery was acceptable.

Kind of embarrassing really isn’t it? But then if you’re not open to learning it is difficult to understand.
