You don't need to be white to be intolerant, but you do need religion to be so.

Voltaire was a deist as were a good % of the Founding Fathers of the US.
“For seventeen hundred years the Christian sect has done nothing but harm”. Voltaire The Enlightenment thinkers had a very wrong-minded notion of what they called the Dark Ages. It was one that was very suspicious of any kind of power in the hands of an established Church. That's not my view of religion but it was the view of many of the Framers of the US Constitution. |

It's doubtful that these African-Americans are not going to vote for President Obama because of this single issue. Mitt Romney doesn't seem to want to be president of all the people. He said he doesn't care about poor people and he likes to fire people. His whole political philosophy is more tax cuts for the millionaires and billionaires, less regulation, and cut programs for the poor, the disadvantaged and the elderly.
Watching his commencement address on Sat to a huge audience at Liberty University, I did not see one person of color in attendance. |

Just maybe the founders felt that equal rights should include women, minorities and even atheists. |
