      @@thecaynuck Yeah, that's not right if Doctor Curry advocates genocide. I'd like to see you prove this, however. Show me where it's at? Why haven't you? Because, if true, this would mean: 1. Curry is stupid and should be retired immediately, or 2. Is he a homicidal maniac no? In either case, he needs to go now.
      Wait, there's more; for A PROFESSOR, especially threatening even one individual, never mind advocating for us to kill ALL WHITE PEOPLE, THIS is a BIG DEAL.
      So, could you back up what you say here or remove it and apologize profusely? I understand that Dr. Curry felt that his life was in danger which caused him to leave "his" country.
      So, now that you have a couple words to question your integrity and intelligence, please let us hear from you IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your comment --- statement of fact, opinion, or belief system.

    Also a really important contribution to the discussion around color blindness.

    My black grandson was baptized in the church, became an acolyte, his mother joined the choir, and church women said we would like him to go to the church school with their children, so we applied for the 6th grade, and he was rejected, saying he was a behavior problem. I don't know how he could be before being in the school, but if true don't you offer some kind of help? The worse part was the silence, no one said they were sorry he was rejected, I believe it was because they knew why. I later asked one of his teachers, a white male. and his answer was we still have racism. I did get a call from the rector, not the headmaster, saying it wasn't because he was black. Again, he didn't say he was sorry he didn't get in, just don't badmouth the parish, I later send an Email with Matt 18: 6, then received a nice letter saying to change my membership. I love the Episcopal Church and want him confirmed, but don't dare risk him again. The good news that in his current school he is getting all kinds of awards. The principal just took him out for lunch the other day. To be estranged from the church and being afraid to take a grandchild to church is not pleasant. Where is the Episcopal Church welcomes you for him? Pax Christi.
