I've never met right-wingers who were as openly racist as the ones I found on Voat and now Poal.

And I grew up in a very conservative household, went to a conservative church believed the Bible was inerrant and all that. I grew up in a conservative Christian community, and know many many people who are conservative Christians who are against racism. They are against racism because they believe it is against the Bible's teachings.

Then I go exploring online after seeing censorship on Reddit, and find outright racists who believe that black people are inferior and that the Jews are the reason for all the problems in the world.

I am trying to understand this group of people. Many of them seem non-Christian or atheist, but some self-identify as Christian.

I have a few questions:

  • Do you call yourself a Christian?
  • How many of you go to churches that believe/are fine with outright racism?
  • Do you simply hide your beliefs really well, mostly live in the South/areas where it is accepted, etc.?
  • Did you grow up with these beliefs, or did your ideas change later in life?

Thanks.

I've been on Voat a very long time and I can tell you the "Christians" who are like this are typically comparable to the Black Hebrew Israelites. They basically gut the Bible and place some weird interpretation where God hates black people in the same way that Black Hebrew Israelites say all huwhites will go to hell. They even parrot the same "we wuz the real Jews" line. You can read pretty much whatever interpretation you want into the Bible if you try hard enough.

I never really understood it because the Bible is pretty clear that virtue is the delineating factor (which makes perfect sense).

That said, most of them despise Christianity. There's just a handful of outliers but the overwhelming majority hate Christians.

I've definitely seen many on Voat calling Christianity a "Jewish religion" believing in a Jewish God and all that, and that's why they hate it. If that's the majority of people here, that is understandable.

It's incredibly carnal minded and it's no surprise that the same "Christians" who believe this revolve around carnal minded themes. Imagine being so absorbed in yourself that you unironically believe there's nothing bigger to life than race. Like what's the heaven they imagine? "Ah no niggers or Jews. How wonderful. Let's spend the rest of eternity just...idk. being white. Ah yes. Wonderful". This post-enlightenment thinking is so myopic, cancerous and limiting. It's demolished thousands of years of philosophical deliberation and scrupulous study in place of cave men walking around with clubs conquering enemy tribes.

I can understand you here. I get the "being critical because of race statistics" and all, but some people seem to have their entire life revolve around hating black people and jews (at least online), and I can't imagine how those people call themselves Christian (if they are something else then fine). Thanks for the response.
