Jim Crow bigoted laws ran wild among hate groups in society and religious clergy (all clothed in matching white with red insignia) and among high governmental authorities with no check and balance. The United States is negligent in not allowing inherited human rights and justice among people having dark complexion, compliments of their ancestors living for millions of years along the equator in Africa, with later migrants moving away from the tropics and having light skin because of geography, now in or DNA.
Dear Ones,
The U.S. populace continues to reap the whirlwind in lack of responsibility and accountability as we all have shown the teeth of hardened prejudice. Some people have taken law into their own hands, such as lynching and other methods of intimidation, torture and death to get license to murder or provoke death by various means.
The excuse now is, "Blacks against Blacks. Whites against Whites, religious members against their own people This insidious behavior has been going on every since man's first footprint was pressed into the sands of time.
Personally as a recovering "Protestinating" Christian my natal religion through a Catholic priest threatened me when I was a child with death in endless burning in hellfire as a heretic for not believing in his religion–a branch of his own faith.
Later my cousin, a fundamental preacher, accused me of sinning since I liked to dance with my husband (then my fiance) when we went to high school social affairs. He wrote me a letter in detail telling me how the Judeo-Christian Bible condemns dancing, an iniquity against "God."
Religious-racism involves all people who think their religion and skin are superior to others–whether subscribing to one of the same triangular related religions or a variety of the same religion.
