Thank you for this. Your openness and candor is refreshing. I was rasied Baptist, almost converted to Judiasm and one of the things that finally led me to none of the above was the absolute hypocracy and racisim in orgianized religion. How many so-called believers do we see cloaking their racism in the Bible? A lot!

I come from a unique perspective. I look like a white woman. I am afforded the privileges of a white woman when I walk around the wrold. Except, I'm not. My father is Black. I'm descended from SC slaves. And when people find that out, those privileges can be and have been snatached away as easily as they'd been given.

I'm no chirstian, but you've just demonstrated the most "Christ-like" behavior I've seen in a long time and for that, you have my respect and a follow.
