Dogon it! The remaining brain cells that I have left can discern very little through his dialect. It would be helpful and much quicker if there was a transept of the conversation (under the video) including a description of why it is relevant enough to post a 7½ minute video. (Had already read the Wiki article and know of Laird Scranton)

@MsMadame Given, Southern Baptists & others do this all the time behind closed doors. However, I see that they (the literal ones) are simply proposing hate on on thier gullible followers. One can name Neo-Nazism, etc. to this easily. Just an agnostic-realist's facts.

@davemelnick

It is due to racism.  All others againist all things Black African.

A lot of religion's stories are imbedded in this astronomical video here. ;). I don't see why it's such a big deal & so hard for people to see this.
