Because Christianity played a major part in helping black people overcome slavery and united them together?

Also all Civil Rights movements in America started in the Protestant Church

That study is talking about the US, it's not talking about the world. If the US has done all of this work, and yet climate change is STILL happening and we're dealing with it right now then the US is not the problem.

But why isn't it working? Because China is the biggest polluter

But one person in the Democratic party still screwed over the environment because Joe Manchin gets the most kickbacks from Oil companies, so it's a blow to all of us Democrats regardless and does nothing to help the party or this country

Theocratic countries are seriously the worst places in the world

Same with us Black people, we're not a monolith either. I know many right-wing black people. 80% of us Black Americans self-identify as Christian for instance, so criticism of Christianity really doesn't sit well at all within black communities

My point was simply Germany is far more racist of a country than the US could ever hope to be. When 1/4 of Germans are ok with lynching black people in the streets, then I think one has to look inwards at their own personal gripes instead of demeaning others simply for being born black like myself.

And yes, 25% of Germans are far-right wing nationalists, this is not the same type of nationalism as here in America, this is real Nazism we're talking about, not the phony American kind

Also I suggest everyone read this article:

Please do not defend Nazis, the EU has a very serious Right-wing problem that's growing more and more each year and I would appreciate people addressing these issues instead of brushing them under the rug because that just tells me you're ok with it

"Many think AfD could emerge as the strongest party when Brandenburg and the fellow eastern states of Saxony and Thuringia hold elections next year. In Thuringia, the AfD candidate last month won the county administrator's post in Sonneberg, the first time since the Nazi era that a far-right party placed first at the county level."

So why is Texas a red state?

Wow thank you for that! Of course it's mostly republicans but it's sad to see any democrat on there getting Big Oil kickbacks

European Defaultism is inherently racist, and it's a constant problem on the internet with left-wing people who pretend not to be racist, but loathe people of color and the countries they come from, only ever referencing white European countries as some sort of fake "utopia" that doesn't really exist. It's one of the most common forms of racism on the internet

I wouldn't consider 1964 to be baby boomer territory, or at least it's at the very end of it. Baby Boomers are the hippy generation, they were the ones protesting Vietnam in the late 60's early 70's. By the time the Vietnam war ended they only would've been 10 years old. 90% of baby boomers are long gone from America at this point or have retired. Gen X is in charge now
