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.

It's pretty obvious why someone would want a short username. Over time they all get used up, and having a short username means you've been on the site a long time. A sort of cred, which is impressive on social medias. Not sure why you need to ask.

Because what you are doing is something a shill would do.

My guess is you're a wannabe journalist venturing out of the safety of Reddit because someone posted something "racist" to r/whogivesashit

Um no. I'm mainly curious in different parts of Christianity, and how some conservatives are far-right wing but aren't Christian. This is very different from my perception and what I learned growing up. Many below have let me better understand their view.
