I actually forgot about Carl from Good Times being an atheist. I know I've seen that episode, but I'd like to watch it now to see how it played out.
The Steve Harvey and that TVOne sitcom clips actually kinda pissed me off.
In the related vids, I saw one from a sister that I know here in Atlanta. I'll probably be watching these vids for the rest of the day lol

12719253, You know how I know I'm old? Posted by John Forte, Thu Feb-05-15 10:32 AM
I get mad any time I click on a post and there's nothing but a youtube link. Unless it's an incident that has to be seen, I'd almost always prefer an article to a video.

12719263, a summary would help... Posted by CyrenYoung, Thu Feb-05-15 10:38 AM
..most people are posting while handling real life shit (work, school, etc).
15 minutes is too long in any format, video, written, or otherwise.

12719324, Seriously y'all, just watch it when u can Posted by Grand_Royal, Thu Feb-05-15 11:08 AM
There's no point in discussing it without seeing it for yourself.
|
12719337, I hate that folks don't know how to post youtube links anymore Posted by Hitokiri, Thu Feb-05-15 11:17 AM
people stay posting timestamped links when they want you to watch the whole thing.
I don't hate it as much as i hate religion but... c'mon ppl. Technology is moving fast. But not that damn fast.

12719344, Damn even Atheists gotta be segregated? Posted by Atillah Moor, Thu Feb-05-15 11:20 AM
No offense, but these folks kinda sound like the poster children for "I don't believe in God because I'm angry about or don't understand 'X' "
|
12719374, the video really touched on why tho Posted by Grand_Royal, Thu Feb-05-15 11:39 AM
I don't think they are trying to insulate themselves as much as they are showing that Black atheists exist; I believe they showed the only 3 Black atheist represented in tv and film lol
|
12719655, yeah it tried to, but I didn't quite get what it was trying to say Posted by Atillah Moor, Thu Feb-05-15 02:14 PM
Like there was this jump from we're black atheists, but what are white atheists doing for social justice or something like that right? I guess I didn't get whatever the implied reason why there is a difference.
|
12719747, I knew there was a "stigma" associated with Black atheists Posted by Grand_Royal, Thu Feb-05-15 03:07 PM
...but this highlighted a lack of representation that I never thought about.
Here is a pretty extensive list of atheists and agnostics in film/tv and there isn't one Black character http://theguttermonkey.hubpages.com/hub/AtheistCharacters I am familiar with a lot of these characters and I don't remember them met with the type of disdain that the Black characters are met with. It's very telling IMO.

Religious brain washing/indoctrination from the moment you are born, good to see black atheists getting a shout out.
I always had issues with religion even as a child, seeing folks catch the holy ghost in church, looked more like demon possession to me. In my teen years when I learned about how religion was used to control the mind of slaves that was the moment everything changed for me. Then years later I read "Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine, after that I was done with religiosity. Anything that tells you not to ask questions and simply obey is suspect.
Being a brotha that doesn't go to church and trying to date black women can be difficult as hell, not impossible but challenging at times for sure. When you meet a sistas parents for the first time, at some point they ask "so what church do you attend?" You're pretty much persona non grata after that conversation, lol
