Anonymous asked: I've taken university classes on religion, sex and race. I'm not denying the issue, but I am denying that it is the most important. Racism is your calling. Dawkins is education and science. And he's doing a better job improving his calling then you are on your shitty blog. You're mad at how he reacted? The journalist accused him of having a slave owning gene. Of course he...

Anonymous asked: stop telling people to read a book when the don't agree with you. Racism goes both ways, and I think you are extremely guilty of it considering the occurring, "white people..." Not that I don't agree with the idea that in the united states white, religious men are unjustly dominant. btw Richard Dawkins also has closer relatives that fought for and helped stopped slavery.

“i love my master but every night
when i cross the blossiming path to the cane fields
where we have surruptitiously made love
i see myself knife in hand, butchering him like
innocent cattle.
deafening drumbeats no longer let me
hear neither his sorrows, nor his complaints
the tolling bells call me”
from ‘I Love My Master’

People be fair, Richard Dawkins’ ancestor, Henry Dawkins owned 1,013 slaves in Jamaica, that’s nothing to do with him.
oh, it most certainly does. you see, when slaves were brought to the Americas, we worked for centuries without pay. we built this country from the ground up. WITHOUT PAY. when white families during that time worked, or leeched off the work of their slaves, they...
