Please join us Sunday 10AM CST/11AM EST as we discuss negative, racist black stereotypes and the people who perpetuate them. We will discuss the brilliant article written by Raina in depth. Why is it acceptable in the secular community when negative stereotypes and caricatures of the black community (religious and otherwise) are presented to them? Is it acceptable if black atheists perpetuate the stereotypes while attempting to pathologize the community that they claim that they want to help? Is speaking at all white conferences considered activism nowadays? Are black atheists silence on issues of racism, social justice, sexism, etc. being purchased with the promises of speaking engagements, etc.? This and more on Sunday.

A federal district court in Oregon has declared Secular Humanism a religion, paving the way for the non-theistic community to obtain the same legal rights as groups such as Christianity.

What does it mean to be post-racial? Does the election of President Obama prove that we as a country have moved beyond race?  Is it our job as minorities to educate white people about our culture?
