I understand most Atheists are liberals, many are socialists. One that I know posted an article bemoaning how the TEA Party is fixated on race. I post a response, not attacking the poster, just posting my own thoughts and an observation.
A black atheist/skeptic adds his wise considered voice with the line “Who is this stupid piece of shit Kevin Slaughter?”
It would have been pointless to call him names back. He’s clearly a dumb monkey who would rather sling shit than respond. He “dehumanizes” me, to make me less than human to others reading the thread.
Luckily, I couldn’t give a fuck.
The TEA Party didn’t ever discuss race until they were unendingly attacked as racists. The TEA Party rallies were almost all white not because they were racist, but because of the same reason Obama has a 90% approval rating among blacks. Blacks, as a group, do not want anything the TEA Party advocates want. There are notable exceptions, but there is effectively zero political diversity among blacks in America.
UPDATE:
This exchange reminded me of another comment from another skeptic/atheist. I finally figured it out and luckily it was still there. This one, at least, articulated his disgust with me a little better, but still failed entirely at providing a rebuttal with any content:
