The black rapper Charlie Chek'em is very anti gay , even using the word "faggot in his songs, The Athest community has bac away from that slime bag or will lose LGBT's. If Checkem is invited to play his music at one American Atheist event I will go public as a gay leader to get LGBTs to back away from any and all Atheist groups that accept him

@Clemburke1111 I am very aware of what happened with Charlie. Those events occurred after this video was made. To my knowledge, Charlie has not been invited to any atheist events since it became public knowledge that he was a raving homophobe and proved so on a thread at Atheist Nexus (as a member of the advisory board for Atheist Nexus I voted in favor of banning him).

@blairscott on min 4:18 no bueno "forced to do it forced to evolve" not wanting to misquote you or take anything out of context, if you could please elaborate. sounds to me as if your saying Africans where forced to evolve?

[blairscott]

@lionsheart666 Evolve socially and religiously to adapt to their new environment. I am not talking about biological evolution.

Oh, so they weren't "True Christians," even though the Bible explicitly told them how to treat their slaves?

But why let facts get in the way of stupid beliefs.

Stop calling yourself a "black atheist" and start calling yourself an "atheist". Perhaps we should begin calling people "redhead atheists" or "blonde atheists" too.
