"You must have excellent reading comprehension"

All that proves is that there are a lot of people who read this site with little to no reading comprehension.

"The content doesn't make me uncomfortable. The way the article was written made it practically impossible to understand the point the author was trying to make."

Ignorance isn't an excuse. That's my point. Minorities don't paint their faces white to portray White people in costume, so why would skin darkening be the logical step for ANY white person to portray a minority in costume? And "they didn't know any better" is the sorriest justification ever. Where do all these white…

"...most people think that darkening your skin
for a costume involving a black person is just part of the costume"

No, they don't. The term "population" has largely replaced race amongst anthropologists and social scientists. Don't take it from me though, the American Journal of Physical Anthropology makes it pretty plain:

"But anthropologically races due exist, as do sub groups of said races."

"...a sideline business of performing abortions"

LOL

Well, the story of Madame LaLaurie is a huge part of the plot this season, and part of the legend is that she was a sadist who tortured her slaves. These types of things did occur during slavery, and it's not like they could've cast a White person as one of her slaves.

LOL your mom is a pimp!! And you never know, you just might have an angry Black sister out there somewhere!!

Yeah, but to your credit, I would be scared of questioning someone named Sister Marta Marie, too! That's a no nonsense name lol.

Your church sounds awesome. I'm so stealing the "biblical fan-fiction" thing. Like, it's clear who ever wrote was on some sort of awesome hallucinogenic drug to have all those wacky dreams.

Haha yes we should definitely form some sort of support group! Lol your poor cat!!

Haha yeah I was a bit of a smartass. I'm sure my mom would go with the "annoying" over epic lol.

She sounds like someone I could party with! We could destroy fundamentalism one witty retort at a time!!

Yes I accept all drinks!!

There is no such thing as logic when it comes to religion and faith. I read all those dreadful Left Behind books as a kid and remember thinking back then how ridiculous the whole rapture thing was.

Because you heathens refuse to be saved. The more people you save the bigger your mansion will be in Heaven, dontcha know?! They have quotas to reach, dammit!

Yes!! I could use more friends lol.
