Did something get deleted? I got an email regarding sexual activity and a Jewish god but the message is not here.
Since I have been an agnostic for over 30 years I don't have a problem with telling the Jewish god to stuff it but I wouldn't expect Him to care anyway. LOL
I would say that it is about power not Jewish people. MLK and Malcolm X could have promoted mandatory accounting in the schools for Black kids. I would have found it really useful when I bought a 4-unit apartment building in the 80s. But how many Black kids get so much as good suggestions from their elders about what to read?
I resonated with the part about feeling incredibly discouraged about gender ideology in the schools and considering throwing in the towel, but allowing a moral framework to energize us to keep going. It’s so hard, and breaks are necessary, but I believe that without a rootedness in values there is no way to keep going. Thanks for the reminder.
I appreciate the heterodoxy of the Journal of Free Black Thought and this article on this couple's conservatism, which I am sure many people share. As a married gay woman with two beautiful daughters, ages 3 and 6, it did nevertheless feel like a gut punch to read the following line in the second paragraph: "I've got a biblical worldview, so for me, conservatism is about being pro-family, pro-life. When I say pro-family I mean marriage between a male and a female. [Chuckles]" How does one laugh at taking away the rights of millions of very happy families?
Thank you for your support and for the honesty and vulnerability you show in your response. We editors pondered the question of how such comments would be received and whether even to print them. All of us have gay friends and gay married friends or family. We ended up deciding to offer a disclaimer at the foot of the interview to the effect that FBT as an org and JFBT as a journal do not endorse every perspective they air. As a 501(c)(3), FBT/JFBT have an educational mission, above all. We decided to print the interview because the FBT org and Journal of FBT *do* subscribe to the tenet that we live in a pluralistic, ideologically diverse democracy, and thus have a duty to do what we can to ensure broad awareness of that ideological diversity, especially as it manifests among black Americans. It is our hope that a broad awareness can lead eventually to a greater mutual understanding. A great many Christians feel as the Wallaces do. Black Americans are the most Christian of any demographic group in America, and therefore a great many black Americans feel as the Wallaces do, too. This is a fact usually ignored in the mainstream media, which is why we thought it should stay, as an aside in an interview that was focused on other topics. If we cannot let the Wallaces state their opinion in these pages, then we cannot let a huge percentage of black Americans state theirs, either. (That said, we would make no place here for the hurling of epithets or threats.) We hope our stated reasons for printing these remarks without endorsing them seem justified to you. Thanks again for supporting our mission of heterodoxy.
Thanks for your thoughtful response to my message. I unequivocally support your mission of heterodoxy and pluralism and find all of your articles, including this one, interesting.

What would mandatory accounting/finance do for economic empowerment.

I wonder if a PhD in the Ethiopian Bible is possible?
Since you have no idea how much I have read you have no way of knowing how STOOPID you sound.
Ever read The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ? How about Ian Stevenson on reincarnation research?
Please be so kind as to crawl back into your hole and stop annoying people.
