(14,040 posts)The problem as I see it are individuals.
People who proclaim boldly it is a certain group of all people within that group are also the problem. There are atheist racists, I'm sure just as there are white racists, Asian racists, even African-American racists but that doesn't mean that all people in each of these groups are the entire problem. It s the racist individual that is the problem. And trying to derail a serious conversation by placing blame on an entire group doesn't further the conversation at all.
It would be like me saying all religious people are the problem because I'm an atheist and don't follow their theism. In fact, I have friends of many different religions and we are all strong advocates for racial equality so that would make my statement patently false as is yours.
As an openly LGBT person, I get bias, I've felt it and been subjected to it so please don't use your bias against non-theists to further your agenda in a thread about racial inequality on DU.
