It can't be more harmful to them than just being raised to believe the Christian God is real. I mean, does anyone doubt the connection between being raised to respect a loving Old Testament God and beliefs like "slavery lead to a good work ethic", and "slaves and their masters had love for one another"?

Logic and internal consistency are superfluous and indeed, unwelcome intruders in that world; nothing but impediments. To do it properly you begin from the tribal beliefs and justify them in whatever way is convenient in the moment.

You mean, such loving relationships as 'spare the whip, spoil the slave'?

'Three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery sentenced to life in prison'

The three white men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced Friday to life in prison, with a judge denying any chance of parole for the father and son who armed themselves and initiated the deadly pursuit of the Black man in February 2020.

The life sentences for Travis McMichael, who fatally shot Arbery, and his father, Gregory McMichael, do not carry the possibility of parole. Their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan will be eligible, however, Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley said. Bryan must serve at least 30 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.

In the US, February is Black History Month. So naturally somebody or some 'group of friends' decided to celebrate it. I believe more than a dozen historically black colleges/universities were recipients of unwanted attention.

'US historically Black colleges and universities face second day of bomb threats'

Several Black colleges and universities in the US received bomb threats and put their campuses on lockdown on Tuesday, a day after a rash of similar threats forced the cancellation of classes for the day at a number of schools.

Howard University in Washington, University of the District of Columbia, Kentucky State, Xavier University of Louisiana and Fort Valley State in Georgia were among the historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) reporting threats, according to Twitter postings and local media.

“Campus is currently on lockdown. Residential students remain in dorms. Non-residential students and staff should NOT report to campus until further notice. Campus operations are suspended for the day,” Fort Valley State said in a tweet.

Howard gave the all clear on Tuesday morning after the campus received a threat at about 2.55am, it said on Twitter.

Several HBCUs, Howard among them, told students and staff on Monday to shelter in place and canceled classes for the day after similar threats. Authorities said they did not find any suspicious devices, allowing the schools to reopen.

A similar rash of threats to HBCUs occurred earlier in January.
