> youre not worth my time
Oh, likewise. For sure.
It's too bad, because between loudly TRUMPeting your Christianity (see what I did there?) and making all sorts of evidence-free claims (many of which are easily disproved with a simple Web search, such as "Rev Wright converted from Islam" [sourced from somewhere such as https://web.archive.org/web/20210128162033/https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/2016142/posts which is completely without any references or evidence]), you're an obstacle to anyone who isn't already a committed Christian becoming one.
See for example https://content.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1735809,00.html [content time com]
> Wright's journey to black liberation theology lay through civil rights turmoil and debates about racial identity. He grew up in Philadelphia, the son and grandson of preachers. He enrolled at Virginia Union University, a historically black college in Richmond, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the South, for the first time he saw Christians "who professed faith in Jesus Christ and who believed in segregation, and saw nothing wrong with lynching, saw nothing wrong with Negroes staying in their place," he told Bill Moyers in a PBS interview last week. That experience moved him to leave college for a six-year military tour — first with the Marines, then the Navy. Eventually, he arrived at the University of Chicago's Divinity School.
One needn't agree with his theology to admit that he is not and never was a Muslim.
> would you call S Africa a christian nation?
There are lots of ways to measure that, but I don't have those figures at hand and don't want to look them up. Thus, I don't have an answer for you.
What I do have is one acquaintance who lives there that is frequently talking about how messed up the place seems to him. That has little to do with their national religion and much to do with mismanagement of the power system, the water system, and so on.
> [You compare] Black liberation theology to an invisible white supremacy.
If you can't read a newspaper or a recent history book, don't blame me if you don't know what is happening around you. Surely you've heard of groups like "Christian Identity". Don't you think they are White supremacists?
I said:
> I'm sure "Black Nationalist Liberation" theology is popular within some segments of the Black Church, just as "White Supremacist" theology is popular within some segments of the White Church. I disagree with both, but BNLT at least arose in response to persecution, not (as with WST) imagined loss of privileges.
And it triggered you into spewing the falsehoods addressed above.
> ive been reading of what Wright is for over 15 years and YES, HE IS A CONVERTED MUSLIM WHO HATES JEWS!! its well documented and would be found if google and youtube would not have eliminated - OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS
I am not defending Jeremiah Wright's doctrine. I am telling you that claiming he is or ever was Muslim does not fit with the evidence. If "well documented" is stuff like the Free Republic article above, then the claim isn't documented at all. And don't blame lack of evidence on Google. I also seached using Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave ... funny thing. All found evidence that Wright grew up in some form of Christianity, and that his interest was renewed during or after his military service. None found any shred of becoming a Muslim, not even temporarily.
Free Republic says:
> Why should Reverend Wright’s past as Muslim concern us?
> First, Reverend Wright’s hate sermons are virtually identical as those given by his good friend, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who followed in the footsteps of Malcolm X.
But that's easy to understand without imaginary conversions. They were both talking to people who'd experienced hardships because of their ancestry. He could ignore it, and let a different religion gain adherents because he wasn't saying anything relevant to people's lives, or he could tackle it head-on.
Anyway, I think I'm going to block 'Rich' and let him spew out all the racism and hatred he wants, just not in my sight. -

I used to try to learn #Emacs each Summer, but even simple things required keystroke sequences like C-x C-t M-x (on top of mentally translating their non-standard nomenclature) and I usually exited by closing the terminal.
Too hard for mere mortals.

The #French newsbots on #Nostr were where I learned that Sandra Bullock's partner died of #ALS recently.
Also where I learned that #Pakistan is having elections amid turmoil. Their Parliament was about to hold a "no confidence" vote on the Prime Minister but instead it was dissolved and an election must happen within 90 days. -

So I use nostr.ch to create and use epheremal #nostr keypairs, changing every 1-3 days. Because of rampant #spam, I'm filtering out posts with PoW < 1.
Whomever set up the news bots for French newspapers turned on PoW, so they are sometimes a big chunk (maybe ⅓) of what I see. -

I think the "... making claims that are questionable and even outright false" part will either prompt a tantrum or a block.
But I don't care, because IMO, he's not a good person at all. -

If you're often called a racist, there's probably a reason for it. And not the one you seem to think.

I logged back into the libranet.de #Friendica account. "As I said before":{https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2064-0d61-7222-e4a224864189}, I'm not really using it because it is broken.
I don't know whether that is specific to that instance (or even the chosen theme ... I need to try another), but as my landlord's son used to say (when I was in high school): eess bloka (it's broken). -

@fu From #GNU_social, I only see a few of your posts in the thread. As you may know, #Diaspora's protocol is different from #OStatus, so the D* posts do not cross over.
But there's more going on. Years ago, when I hosted a #Friendica instance, posts from ~F to OStatus appeared natively. Now they don't. For example, almost never will a mention or reply from ~F to GS appear in the recipient's replies stream. This doesn't only happen on GS, though.
On Pleroma instances, ~F posts (at least from #libranet.de) appear with delays of 2-12 hours or more, sometimes out of context, usually out of order. They also sometimes change the scope when they reply to a scope limited post.
I have a ~Friendica account on libranet.de, but I barely ever use it because _everything_ seems to be broken and it frustrates me every time I try to use it. I should probably close it and check to see whether the issues are local to libranet.de or something common to all Friendica instances. -

#Western_Digital #WD has an external SSD drive product released under the #SanDisk name that appears to have some data loss issues. As I understand it, they released a firmware patch that is supposed to fix it, but the site's employee experienced data loss again.
The thing is, whoever owns WD also owns multiple other storage products brands. If one is going to avoid such issues, they'd need to identify and avoid all related brands. -

Note that clarifications written outside the #ToS / #ToU and #Privacy_Policy of a site have no legal effect, while those documents do. If $SITE writes in their ToS that they have the right to activate your camera, but then clarifies in a blog post that they won't collect pics of you in your underwear, your protest that they collected images of you in your "BVDs":{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BVD} is meaningless.
Of course, privacy policies are not worth the paper they are written on, as nearly every site reserves the right to change those policies at any time without prior notice, and once those policies change, the changes also apply to data collected under prior versions of their policies. -
