I work with a black women that grew up in and still lives in a rough neighborhood in the inner city. She is a Christian and is an avid reader of the bible -she is quite knowledgeable.
She is seriously considering converting to Islam. She hasn’t said as much, but I’ve mostly deduced to rationale for why and it’s pretty simple. First, she is black and a diehard Democrat voter, even though the Democrat party doesn’t represent her values across the board. See you can’t be black and not be a good democrat, else your an uncle Tom -she first identifies with the black community. Second, liberals/democrats are all but advocating attacks on Christianity and Christian ideals.
Anyway, she makes a decent buck and people have told her for years she has to move out of there for the sake of her son. She never moved and her son was a violent felon at 15 years old. Now at 20 years old, the son has a lot of trouble finding work and he dabbles in drug dealing for money, but mostly sponges off her. She first and foremost identifies as black and with the inner city black community, even to the great detriment of her son’s future.
The point being... You can be black and not be a Democrat; AND, you can’t be a Christian and not feel as if your under attack by liberals/democrats. (While Islam is above reproach.)
Make that: “You can’t be black and not be a Democrat; AND,...”
