The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.

    Awesome!

    Could you tell us how many of the slave owners and their supporters (so in favor of slavery) were christian?

      I can tell you 80% of black people are Christian right now, so you’re insulting 80% of black people and their religious belief

      How would you like it if I insulted Jewish people and their belief? Muslims?

        Oh, so christianity gets a pass then? Just because you start to wave a despicable race card in our faces? To use people of color as a firewall for a religion of pure hate is unteal and tells me all I need to know about you. But wait, you have shown us more!

        Jewish and Muslims , there we are. You are in no doubt a heartbeat away from going racist and fascist. Not a huge surprise for a person supporting christianity, a religion at the forefront of most heinous acts in history.

        Glad you have dropped the christian mask and shown us what christians do when you show them their cult was in the wrong.

          Please do not belittle other peoples religious beliefs and customs. Thank you.

          Everyone in the United States of America is free to practice their religious beliefs, it is against the ideals of Basic Human Rights to deny anyone that right, especially here in America. If 80% of Black Americans are Christians then I believe it is only appropriate, and in accordance with the ideals of a free democratic society, to respect that belief, not to dehumanize Black people for choosing what they wish to.

            The problem is that religious people don’t adhere to this. I’m fine if you want to follow a religion or whatever, but don’t try to restrict my rights because you’re offended (not you personally, just the language of the example).

            Did you just try and play some sort of ‘big dad tells you what you can and cannot do’?

            Off your high ground with you, off your false castle. You have NO moral high ground to stand on. I will belittle christians all day long, this right is earned by centuries and centuries of despicable acts of inhumanity perpetuated by that religion. How dare you, how dare you to try and take some moral high ground knowing fully well you stand on the graves of millions and millions tortured and killed by that lovely christianity.

            And then that clumsy attempt to try and see if you can bate me into some statement where you can play the race card. How pathetic.

            My point is that religion, and especially christianity, is bad. You uninvitedly and all on your own pushing people of color to the front in order to fake defend them is the REAL racist move.

            Do you often feel the need to defend black people? Are they not able to defend themselves, hmm?

            You tried to ‘daddy knows better’ me and belittle black people by keeping pushing their stats when none was even suggesting. You are a racist, plain and simple.

                How about I stop when christians stop attacking others? Lets see if christians can live up to th words of their jesus.

                Hint they wont.

                By the way, I am done with you as you keep saying the same thing over and over and never once made genuine case for religion other then ‘daddy telling’ others to stop. You clearly are a troll.

                I will block you because you are useless.

                  I only see one hateful person in this thread and it isn’t the guy rightfully pointing out basic human and constitutional rights whom you are trying to frame as a fascist.

                  It’s very simplistic to blame religions for heinous crimes committed by humans over centuries. Crimes have been committed in the name of every religion on earth.

                  But in every religion there are countless good-hearted people who try hard to live up to their ideals. There is much more to religion than just bigots.

                  So please: Stop your hatespeech.

                    This is not hate speech and using that as defense for a religion that has so much hate poured over the innocent.

                    I know you guys think you are defending something noble, you are not, you are defending a know n and documented cruel entity, it is unreal to see. But then again, religion makes you stop believing your lying eyes. Its like talking to cult members.

                    And the message I get constantly from you and others who defend the cult? To please stop. Like any cult, no argue or defense or explanation on accountability, just stop and move on.

                    Hey, guess you turn a blind eye to the pastors and clergymen who, to this day, keep raping little kids and get full cover drom the cult leadership. Bet you do.

            Actually we have the freedom to openly mock religious beliefs. As long as the Christian Facists don’t completely take over the country.

        At some point you stop humoring people when they bring their imaginary friends with them to adulthood.
